One of the biggest selling points for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 over the past couple of months is that Treyarch and Activision would be reducing skill-based matchmaking. It's why I was so excited for it.
But almost immediately, CoD players began to voice concerns that things felt the same from Black Ops 6 and previous games, judging by how "sweaty" lobbies have felt, especially compared to the game's beta test when its lower SBMM "Open Matchmaking" was first tested.
