Black Ops 7 is looking up as Treyarch has introduced a new SBMM-free playlist called Open Moshpit, where player skill is “minimally considered,” unlike in other official modes. Fans have reacted overwhelmingly positively to the addition, praising instant queue times and significantly more satisfying gameplay.
As part of the Black Ops 7 open beta, currently only available to those who've pre-ordered the game or own Game Pass PC, Console, or Ultimate, Treyarch has decided to introduce two new playlists: Moshpit and Open Moshpit. The latter is largely the same as the former, though without SBMM and minimal skill consideration for matchmaking. This makes it way more in line with traditional Call of Duty, which matched players based on ping and other metrics, rather than skill.
