"Some players are leaving because they thought this tweet meant SBMM had been completely removed from the game, and then they felt betrayed by the inclusion of one standard matchmaking playlist, and then blamed it for stealing 'fodder' from the open playlist,"
"What's really going on here is there aren't enough casual players at launch to make open matchmaking the pubstomp that was expected or promise. If open lobbies are sweaty, it's because it's mostly sweats playing."
"are just trade-offs from bringing back persistent lobbies for launch, assuming they don't want low-pop playlists to starve."
Activision has not released sales metrics for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and player frustration has risen over perceived SBMM issues. Charlie Olson, creator of CoD's SBMM, explained the matchmaking system and clarified that adding an open matchmaking playlist did not remove SBMM across the game. Open playlists are dominated by experienced 'sweats' because there are too few casual players at launch to create easy lobbies. Casual players often remain in familiar modes. Persistent lobbies help prevent low-pop playlists but bring trade-offs: sweatier matches, longer wait times, and degraded connections.
