Very little of it based on actual skill

Even if the lobbies aren't all that much easier (still a closed beta) that's not the main point. Every match should feel organic. I shouldn't do well one match and have to brace myself for misery in the next one.

Exactly
I don't want my matches predetermined how I am going to experience them based on my last few games.

Lot of people about to find out that they simply suck at the game lol

I am not remotely saying I was great at this game but when the MM was based on ping in earlier CODs I could drop a lot of nukes and in turn would run into demons in some lobbies
Fast forward to last years I dropped one nuke on my main account and that was after reverse boosting of sorts in running a lot of games trying to quick scope with snipers then got into a lobby of bots, I think they were actual AI bots the game felt so sorry for me
I hate when I get on a run and do well in recent CODs just knowing my experience is about to go down hill and when SBMM would kick in I just quit for the day

SBMM has just become a general scapegoat term for all losing/dying grievances in COD. This term didn't exist 15 years ago. You just either won or lost, sucked or didn't suck. That's it. If they announced they removed it now people would probably have meltdowns after realizing they can still not stomp every single match or would start conspiracies that they didn't really remove it. That's how entrenched it has become as a scapegoat.

This isn't the case. The system in COD is retention based match making to ensure the vast majority of the player base has the odd good game. This system didn't exist 15 years ago.
Its very clear to the average savvy gamer that they are being manipulated. Its not about sucking.
Pretty obvious you either don't play this game on a regular basis or you are the target audience for the system.

Nope, there are several elements to Warzone era Cod matchmaking intended to gaslight the player. I call it casino matchmaking. The entire experience is rigged and once you learn how it works the whole thing becomes pointless. Why bother capping that B flag if it means your next match will be worse?
I just spent 90 minutes playing multiplayer. There was still a lot of sweat, the overall feeling it gave me was relief. Teamwork, people moving normally around the map and not slide cancelling or bunny hopping everywhere. It's so much better.

Just played zombies with a mate
It was ooookay but we haven't played since BO4. Where's the damn teddy bear in the box lol
Additionally what's up with the box in the basement? We searched for aaaages about it but couldn't figure it out. Did find the trashcan thing but wasn't sure if they were linked.

These maps suck.

It's running through to Wednesday because they know if they have a 'second weekend' they'll be humiliated by the BF6 launch.
I can't go back to how it was before now I've seen how things can be. If they go back to EOMM I think I'm done for good with this franchise. This is the moment things need to change. We need persistent lobbies next.

there's no quests active in the beta obviously, it's a survival map.

But for casuals or employed people, having basically only sunday to try the beta sucks a lot

Your logic and reasoning here is not dissuading me of my point but only confirming it....

Sure, but Activision don't care about that lol. This is their hail mary to win players back before they lose them for good on Friday.
Also there was probably some legal reason about the early access period needing to be a certain number of days for people who preordered it. If they were allowed I think it would've gone live today.
You've come in here and given your uninformed take, had 2 people explain to you how the matchmaking is actually incredibly manipulative and not changed your mind. That sounds like a you problem.

This is the worst COD ever released, just feels off, visuals are not as good as usual, feels like xDefiant.

Game is a sniperfest. The levels have long sightlines everywhere....
Also the visuals are not great. Half the time if some is behind a box or in a window I can't see their head at all and am totally relying on the red icon to pop up.

Finally got the RAPS, great streak. Had fun but that'll do for now until the open beta later when the level cap goes up.
