Level is indicative of nothing but time played. Plenty of low skill players put in the time to rank up.

Well that explains why after a good series of dominant games I've been put with top players and getting handily trounced and humbled.
I've gotten used to it but the method around that boomerang effect is to join the games of the folks that have the lowest k/d at the end of any given match.
I must be doing things wrong because I've got a WLR of like 2.1.
interesting, I'll give this a try. Thanks! It really ruins the flow of the game. Also, does cross play allow PC players on mouse/KB?
All talk before launch indicated it shouldn't, but read things online that indicated it wasn't the case so who knows.
The reason I ask is because I've watched kill clips in the game where the aim moves as if it was controlled by a mouse, not a controller. I could believe mouse/KB players are part of crossplay, so I've disabled it. Fuck that.
as I play ground war I've seen exactly the same thing in killcams too and it's clear as day when you were killed by a m/kB player, fortunately I believe there's advantages for controller Players like extra aim assist.
Nah, if you are really good at the game and can even carry a team then of course you will have more wins. My experience is that I either can be top 2 or suck ass, meaning I play against people that are either way better than me or way worse than me. If I am the best on my team that really means something... because I suck lol I never had the feeling that I play with or against people around my skill level. I have a W/L of exactly 1.0 As always YMMV.
I don't disagree with your point about aim assist, but a m/KB player running and gunning with an smg is unstoppable. They can aim much faster than a controller.
At this point, the SBMM in this game doesn't seem any different than any other game going back more than a decade at least. Newer players are generally put with other newer players and experienced players will tend to be against more experienced players. The individual algorithms have changed with time but the concept and result is the same. They'll all take a variety of factors including player skill and connection to make the best match out of the available pool. None of the evidence really shows anything beyond that. I thought there was something more too but really I think it's a lot of confirmation bias. Also I think some people were coming off of Black Ops IV which inflated your kills and K/D by giving you a kill for any amount of assisting (like Overwatch) while this is more in line with other games and past CoDs. Might be a reality check for some people.
On the battle royale, I feel a BR with this gameplay would be the best one on the market for me. I think you just need a bit more durability than the current MP and it will be great. As long as they nail the menu and stuff like that.
I wouldn't have any faith in them nailing the menu, the menu systems in this game are ducking awful
It honestly surprises me that people are down on the SBMM in this game. Seems to work great for me. SBMM works in games like COD because you can adjust your load out mid game, so a lot of the randomness can be dealt with.
It feels much better here than it does in Apex, where SBMM doesn't belong.

Gold for shield and knife didn't take nearly as long as I expected. Still annoying. Had to play SUPER patient.
Damascus achieved! Feels good, now I want to go for all reticles and I will have everything in the game complete. Good thing new challenges will be here in a few days for the Crossbow!

Congrats on Damascus!! Quite an achievement.
Personally despise riot shields, shotguns, and knives so decided to not go after it.
Doing assorted reticle challenges now - that blue reticle dot is a nice carrot for the grind. Maybe pointless since I prefer most iron sights...
Anyone else play ground war on the one x and notice how fucking loss poor the graphics are now?
like there's all sorts of weird graphical nonsense going on with the maps, it's horrible, was fine at launch. My xbox isn't dying either as other games are perfect.

Ah.
Only 136. These last 20 levels feel like they're going to take forever.
I have literally seen mouse icons in team deathmatch lobbies. So yes, they are absolutely matching controller players against mouse players if you have crossplay enabled.
Now I should note I have not seen this a lot, but it does happen here and there.
I too see this with crossplay enabled on the PS4. I don't see many M&K players but they do show up.
Yes to more loadouts.
I hope the crossbow is a medieval one where to crank it back to reload it.

It's probably going to be a mission, yes.
At this rate I'm running out of missions to do.
Can't wait to see what the update breaks.
they said adding CaC slots caused bugs so I'm expecting loads to slip through.

It's amazing how often the daily challenges are broken. Two days in a row I've had challenges that straight up didn't work.
Todays 50 kills with an assault rifle should be pretty simple, but of course it's broken. Just completed two matches with the Kilo and it shows me having nothing for that challenge. 🙄

Ahh thank you, forgot all about that game mode. Been grinding through care packages in standard modes hoping to get lucky. I'll try this next time I play. This is the last ribbon I need.
On regular missions once I did a challenge and when it rolled on to the next one it stopped tracking. I activated another challenge, then went back and reactivated this one and it started tracking again. For Daily's not sure how to try 'resetting' them. Maybe If there is a regular assault rifle challenge you could activate that see if it tracks and then likewise maybe the daily would too?
They ended up fixing this one on their end, as I got back on later and it began tracking immediately.
Dude you know you can just press 1-5 on your keyboard to select the different load outs? Lol.
Oh is that one of the challenges? I love using marksman rifles lol
Yes? But in BO4 once you prestiged and got the 6th slot the 6 key didn't pick the sixth custom loadout. That is what I am talking about.
So what do you think? Zyzomys believes that it's no better than a 2x4 brought to a gun fight. I actually really enjoy the gun. It has a SMG feel to it with the RPM, but it can be played at a distance too.
Has IW said if they're banning people for doing the out of map exploits on ground war?
The amount of nukes I see on ground war cause of them is ridiculous.

Call of Duty has been notoriously soft when it comes to punishing exploiters and quitters. I doubt they ban anyone for that, but I definitely think they should.
The worst part is you can't report people on different platforms cause their names don't show up on the recent players list.
