PSA for anyone grinding camos
Get the knives done as the Gutter knife 5 kills without dying 5 times is not tracking properly and literally all you need is 25 kills, will likely be patched soon
Speaking of reverse boosting ran into this guy 3 times just today and see it a lot, all he was doing was killing himself with his own nade launcher
Whether it's cheating or reverse boosting, it's pretty obvious that any gamer getting godly KD and WL should be a red flag. I'm sure their servers even track location since even those old COD games (I think it was Black Ops 1) had game summary recaps showing where the action was using heat maps.PSA for anyone grinding camos

? I have 9 forged left to do before priceless!
It doesn't help their KD or WL because of how poorly they do in these matches
You are for sure further along than I am as I have 2 marksmen rifles left and all of the SM and 1 or 2 LMGHow you getting on with the camo grind
It really is. If they care so much about playing less skilled players, they should just go back to the old games.
How you getting on with the camo grind
Not sure because on steam, the hours has just been merged with MW2 under the COD app. Too much no doubt. 6 left to do now!
There is no harm in backing out and re-searching a match when that happens. Often its just your team mates are bad and suddenly instead of you 1v1 with someone, you get double or triple teamed lol. Rust is a bit hit or miss because most people are camo grinding on it.
Mine says 2D and 17HoursYou can check stats inside the game
This is where I'm at, mostly leveling up guns and I've only got 3 gold SMGs
Longer post incoming but wanted to update this a bit after some talks last night and I think most people here know who I mean but I wont say his name directly because he said its off the record but this needs to be out there

because of the discussion we had in another thread.
The entire game is rigged by algorithms that dictate how well or how bad you do. There's damage, engagement, purchase related and skill based algorithms that are constantly dictating the outcome.Longer post incoming but wanted to update this a bit after some talks last night and I think most people here know who I mean but I wont say his name directly because he said its off the record but this needs to be out there

I have been saying I didn't like SBMM because of other issues like higher ping and just some odd things seem to go on in some of my matches.
Was playing last night with you know who (someone who would 100% know) and he said to look up damage based match making patent that Activision has and to quote said patent
[0080] Once an assessment is made, the computer program that executes the gaming environment modifies elements of the session and/or gameplay parameters as the session is being created based on the aggregate skill level. In embodiments, session modifications may include, but are not limited to: adjusting the number of enemies, adjusting the complexity of puzzles; and player adjustments, which may include the player's health, damage, speed, available abilities, and difficulty level. In one embodiment, a player's health is scaled based on the player's skill level by. At 306, data corresponding to acquired skill level of each player is generated and presented to a player via a game console, resulting in each player within a team experiencing a different degree of difficulty or challenge while still experiencing the same content in the same gameplay session.
[0081] FIG. 3B illustrates a table providing an exemplary list of parameters of a gameplay session that are modified based on a player's skill level and the corresponding experience for players of different skill levels. For example, in a first-shooter gaming environment, when a first player aims his weapon at a target, a parameter defining the tolerance for how accurate the player's aim must be to hit the target is modified based on the acquired skill level of the player. The computer assigns the tolerance for how accurate the player's aim must be to hit the target differently based on the skill level of the first player. A player having a higher skill level will be assigned a lower tolerance parameter and therefore, will have to be more accurate in aiming in order to hit the target. A player having a lower skill level be assigned a higher tolerance parameter and, therefore, could be less accurate in aiming in order to hit the target. As shown, column 310 of Table 1 lists modifiable parameters such as `degree of accuracy required to hit a target`, column 312 lists the experience of a player having a `high` skill level, which may be `high degree of accuracy required`, column 314 lists the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level, which may be `medium degree of accuracy required`, and column 316 lists the experience of a player having a `low` skill level, which may be `low degree of accuracy required`. Similarly, the table lists other modifiable parameters, such as `likelihood of being targeted by enemy`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be `high degree of likelihood`, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `medium degree of likelihood`, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be `low degree of likelihood`. Another example parameter is `difficulty of an in-game puzzle`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be `high degree of difficulty`, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `medium degree of difficulty`, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be `low degree of difficulty`. Another example parameter is `bonus chance of finding powerful treasure`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be `medium degree of chance`, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `high degree of chance`, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be `very high degree of chance`. Yet another example parameter is `number of challenging enemies in a single encounter`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be a high number, for example 10-20, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be a medium number, for example 5-10, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be a low number, for example 1-5. Still another example parameter is `gold earned multiplier`, where the earning of a player having a `high` skill level may be `high`, for example 1.5.times., the earning of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `medium`, for example 1.25.times., and the earning of a player having a `low` skill level may be `low`, for example 1.times.. One more example parameter is `friendly-fire damage amount to team-mates`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be `high degree of damage`, for example 100% of damage, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `medium degree of damage`, for example 50% of damage, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be `low degree of damage`, for example 0% of damage."
I guess thats what I was always against and not straight up SBMM where I would fight players of equal skill
100%
Most of them make lives miserable already from reverse boosting for 20 matches then dropping nukes 5 games in a row for content then back to reverse boosting, tons of videos out there showing these YouTubers doing it and bragging about it
Hold on for one second here.
See my post above of a patent that Activision owns

I have been playing COD online since COD2 on the 360, since nukes were brought in at COD4 I believe i could literally count on my fingers and toes the amount of nukes that other players have set off in lobbies I have been in, if you do come across someone who is levels above you skill wise instead of crying how unfair everything is watch the kill cam, observe them and learn to improve yourself.

Mate same here I've been gaming since I was a kid and I'm 38 with kids now , u really think people were that sweaty back in the days ? There was no social media back then everyone was playing casually for a good time .
No they weren’t but I can pretty much guarantee you won’t be coming against YouTubers and nuke droppers that often, ultimately this whole version of SBMM has only been in effect since MW 2019, its not really as if there is a 10 year gap here to before social media took over, I’m hardly a amazing player I’m 41 with 3 kids and play casual, I can handle having my ass handed to me fair and square, what I cannot stand is the nonsense SBMM imposes on you, unloading a whole clip into someone who looks at you and instantly melts you etc etc, its always on a constant cycle of dominate in effectively bot level lobbies, then end up in lobbies that real SBMM should basically be getting you were it feels pretty much correct and K/D is balanced, then suddenly being propelled into lobbies where you end up going 5-20 before straight back to square one in the bot level lobbies.
I don't know what games this may or may not be in but in chat we were specifically talking about this COD and how things feel great some matches and off on others and sometimes I melt people and some matches I just keep getting melted
That patent sounds to me like it's more of an adaptive skill level thing that might be applied to singleplayer games. In a multiplayer game where your business is based on keeping people playing for as long as possible it seems counterproductive to effectively put blanks in somebody's gun if he's doing too well.
Possibly but the patent is titled
Again just for the sake of discussion ,
Makes sense.
Same here explains a lot as I am using a base operator from MW 2 yet and my lobbies have Rambo and the Diablo 4 chick standing next to me all the time
Yeah this year they've really ramped up the stakes against KB+M players. All this in addition to higher TTK, faster run speeds and perks. Might help especially with precision guns.
