It's actually funny how this all happened THIS October. Reinventing the wheel over and over doesn't work, people!

is this a bit or are you really this cringy? the game isn't even out for a month, dipshit. and it's gonna be the same overmonetized overmarketed bullshit we've been getting for years, with a placebo matchmaking change on top. simmer down.
"placebo"
Bro's really self-reporting. The change for me was instant, I was actually getting a VTOL Warship almost every game, and NONE of my matches were "You are the carry, here's 5 kids who never touched a controller while the enemy team has average players that curbstomp your short bus teammates". Nor was I getting multiple bad matches in a row after a string of good matches. If you thought literally nothing changed then I'm sorry but you're just actual fucking trash and were being protected by the matchmaking.
Sorry for your skill issue diagnosis.
why do you think i wasted my time on bo7 lol. is this a shitty guerrilla marketing attempt?
If I was getting paid by Activision I wouldn't be doing this on Lemmy of all places lmao, and I wouldn't like to take money from them anyway cause they'd probably force me to not talk shit about the game. But I genuinely think just the matchmaking change completely transformed the game. Before the open playlist came out, I was not hyped for it at all, but after that it actually made me look forward to the game. But if you think it's literally the same matchmaking... Then I don't know how to tell you you're just not that guy.
not that guy who pays $70 a year to play the same game over and over again?
you've literally only played the open beta. it will take maybe two weeks for anyone who's not sweaty as fuck to abandon the sweaty as fuck playlist lmao.
'i can't be a marketing goon, i'm on an unpopular platform' durrr as if that's not how this shit started on reddit too. if it walks like a stooge and quacks like a stooge i'm gonna call it out as a stooge, or why would you be simping for an UNRELEASED GAME?
Well, for one, the playlist is becoming the default matchmaking for all modes, so I suppose you'd not have fun regardless with your massive skill issue. Also, I don't buy CoD every year, sometimes I skip them, and I didn't even buy BO6 because I had PC Game Pass with Microsoft Rewards... until Microsoft ruined both, that is. And third, do you also make fun of Counter-Strike players for essentially playing the same game, on the exact same maps, for 26 fucking years? I do know CS2 is free but the fact of the matter is that it's the same exact game at its core since 1.6.
counterstrike doesn't sell a new copy every year with the same gameplay but more in-game ads lol. everything i've seen shows it's gotten 10x worse since mw2019 and that was enough to make me sick. you cannot respect yourself and play a premium priced game that is so blatant about milking you it shows you commercials in between maps.
you keep trying to talk shit about how good i am at a game i don't play and i'll keep laughing at the middle school tier negging. you're so awesome though, well done!
I'm not doing research for you, boy. If you took any time to actually look up you'd know that most of the bad shit that happens is exaggerated or was removed later. And also, if you think you're having any effect here, consider the following: I'm 31 and I don't care.
you're 31 and you think "you suck at cod" is a sick burn lmao
i literally watched my friend get a battle pass ad and a bo7 ad in between streaming rounds of zombies on bo6 that she had to sit through - unless she clicked buy now! so unless actimicrovisionsoft had a come to jesus moment in the last 2 weeks don't you fucking try to act like it's not currently a shitshow and on a downward trend.
yep keep digging your heels in and carrying water for the trillion dollar corporation that will surely beat the shill allegations 👍
