The fuck is everyone on about?

I haven't played this new CoD and played BO4 for like a day before I got sick of it.

But SBMM has been in every single CoD since fucking BO2. Every single one.

There is a noticable difference in skill levels when I join my friend's games. And any game I join myself is filled to the tippy top with whatever meta bullshit smg-fast-hands perk is the best at twitch shooting for that particular game, stretching all the way back to BO2.

If you guys are only realising this now you are painfully behind the curve.

There was even people in Advanced Warfare who did 'reverse boosting', which is where they would stand in the corner shooting a rocket launcher at their feet and committing suicide 30+ times a match so that the SBMM would put them in a lower bracket so they could actually have a casual experience again or just 'pwn noobs' or whatever.

This isn't exactly cutting edge news. It's the absolute first and foremost reason I've been distancing myself from CoD games. I hate SBMM with a fiery passion. And as someone who is aware of it, it's been 'secretly' in the last five or more titles. I honestly think back in MW2 was the last time I experienced a CoD game without SBMM.

They've done it in every game since BO2 and I don't actually understand why you thought this one would be different?
