Quick question what is with the unlock all diamond camo skins in order to unlock the damascus skin? I see no diamond skin whatsoever... this is going to be more grindy than Blops2. .... 😩
yeah it better have almost silent crouch walking and ads footsteps and a real 725 nerf.
Haha, you never know with their attempts at "fixing things".

I just checked for patches, did not get an update.
Try hitting settings and check for update. And then try scan and repair in the same options menu. Or try vice verse.
Thanks! Appreciate your contributions to this thread.
I have found that map knowledge is codependent to your accuracy in these games, especially if you choose to not be stationary. Being able to have your crosshair flicked to that problematic spot that people are always controlling will give you more time to respond to their bullshit. And when you are shooting at someone, use your movement to do very fine aiming in your favor.
Also, I've been having fun finding the best flash spots for blinding campers. I feel like I'm playing CSGO with the ones I've found. I think IW map designers even placed little yellow lines on certain walls to indicate where to throw the flash to get it to a certain spot. My favorite two are as follows:
On Shoot House when running from spawn, angle yourself 45 degrees from the wall entering Junkyard and toss a flash at the yellow line at the middle. This nade will land right on the headglitch car by tires. It makes it so much easier to flank. You can do an even tighter one on the wood house side to get a nade in that weird pillar area that people like to camp in a ton.
On Hackney Yard when entering the warehouse from C side. There is that long hallway that leads to a left turn into the warehouse interior. Again, at a 45 or more sever angle, toss a flash at the yellow line in the warehouse. It'll land right in that little hut area blinding peekers from there and people laying next to the wood crate. Really use for domination on this map.
Anyone else ever have their killstreaks switch mid match? It's happened to me a few times now. I have the supply crate as my first one and sometimes it switches to UAV mid match. I don't notice when that happens until after it happens but it might be if I get a supply crate and I get a UAV out of it. Even the image on the right of my screen switches to UAV and the next time I get 3 kills or whatever it is, I get a UAV instead of a supply crate.
Drift0r's video about Skill Based Matchmaking is here, if there's any big conclusions I'll edit this comment
- Skill is NOT prioritized over connection, ping is the same no matter the player's K/D
- Players with high stats do NOT match with other players with high stats. K/D, SPM and W/L ratio does not impact who you matchmake with
- Matchmaking does however take your level somewhat into account. On a lvl 155 account the average opponent was level 96.3, on a lvl 43 account the average opponent was level 69
- Matchmaking appears to be somewhat influenced by your recent performance, if you had a high K/D in recent matches you'll be matchmade with other people who've had a high K/D in their recent matches as well
- Yet, for some reason opponents appeared to get better when using an account with a high K/D. Only explanation Drift0r can give for this is the existence of a hidden ranking system but he has no idea how said rank would be calculated and thus can't test it

Genuinely surprised to see the 680 nerf, I can count on one hand the number of people i've seen running it.
Either that or it's not applying my newly selected killstreak. Switched the five streak aerial strike to the missile but it still got the aerial strike in every match. Also loadout sometimes switches after respawn.
Welcome to MW, where previously solved problems like team balancing are promptly unsolved
I'm not going to claim every game is like this, but many of them have absolutely been absurdly lopsided like this one
Even on BO4 playing against 6 man parties it wasnt this bad , lmao.
XclusiveAces video is online too

First conclusion is that connection takes priority over SBMM. Assuming this is true, supports my position that the community and individuals using SBMM as a scapegoat. lol
charlieIntel on Twitter is claiming another patch is coming out later this week with more fixes.
Yeah. From the video it seems the Strict SBMM focuses on your recent games. Which explains why you can start the day off really good and then the matches get harder after just a few games.
But ultimately they couldn't see any data to suggest it was messing with connections however.
Talking OT but it's crazy to see the comic book store from someone in the UK who has never seen such a thing.
Too much emphasis on KDR in that video. There is no way SBMM is based around KDR. It is 100% a hidden MMR system to the point that I am confused as to why they are entertaining any other possibility.
You cannot make a SBMM around KDR. In a perfect system where everyone has 1 KDR that would mean everyone is equally skilled, which is of course furthest from the truth. The top players have 1 KDR because they are playing each other. The bottom have 1 KDR because they are playing each other. Only when consistently mismatched would a top player have >1 KDR.
Back to reality, a hidden ELO system based on score/kdr/win and your team team ELO vs their team ELO is likely the basis here. Something that considers your performance in a match versus the expected outcome of the match which adjusts your hidden score for future matchmaking. I do not doubt there is a system to prevent abuse, such as your last 5 games having more of an impact than your games before that.
A system like this is very modifiable, and if ping + opponent team is consistent then that just throws out a ton of theories on why people are not enjoying the experience.
Ok, so I do not think KDR is irrelevant here, but a smaller part of a bigger picture that is not apparent from player stats alone. All just my reaction to that video, opinion could change.

Driftor gets a hard on every time someone mentions SBMM. get the fuck outta here trying to tell me there isn't any SBMM, the same way you tried to tell us there isn't with Advance Warfare? fuck outta here. Everyone else is wrong and you must be the right one.
OP
OP
I could not agree any more with Ace here (I timestamped this), he agrees and hits on literally every single point on why *strict* SBMM is bad that a lot of us have been saying for weeks and does so probably better than I would have, even down to my exact complaints about how CoD has traditionally been the big dopamine rush of chasing killstreaks, but getting better and playing better to get those killstreaks is just now putting you against better opponents making that even harder etc. My fucking man. If I just wanna level up a new gun or grind out camos I shouldn't feel forced to go into Ground War to do it. And I already posted my story about how my two (really really bad at the game) friends outright won't play with me because they get fucking railed to the wall nonstop when they play with me but do fine solo.
That aside, all of the SBMM stuff they were able to test more or less lines up with what a lot of people were guessing down to recent performance being the biggest impact (which *could* explain why I have a slightly negative K/D overall because I'll have two games where I got like 35-4 then get railed hard for the next several games, but it's hard to say that for sure). The only thing that I think is a bit surprising is that overall K/D etc doesn't have a large impact (although I'm sure it impacts whatever hidden ELO stuff they have going on which he even says in the video), and also that it doesn't seem to prioritize skill over connection which is good! But then now I'm wondering why on earth it takes so long for matches to be found most of the time, maybe a side effect of the party filter/lobby breakup system?
