Call of Duty dropping SBMM in favor of system ‘inspired by classic games’ for BO7, and hopefully MW4, too

Call of Duty’s matchmaking has been a topic of conversation for the better part of a decade, and it’s one that’s been discussed ad nauseum.

For Black Ops 7 last year, Activision toned down the vaunted “skill-based matchmaking” that made the previous few games feel like a sweat-fest in every mode. And today, publisher Activision said it will be continuing in that direction moving forward, inspired by recent success of classic titles.
