Exactly. Now all it is, is a scheme ꧑to sell more skins and bundles while gaslighting the hell out of long term player꧅s into believing we're not being manipulated. They need to fire the executives that are responsible and get SBMM and EOMM out of the game forever.

Nothing could be 🐼further from the truth. Anyone who has truly improved in skill is punished by this feature and will get nothing but sweaty matches offset by the oꦰccasional easy match to coerce you to keep playing.

Eng🌺agement Optimization makes it even worse by requiring more bullets to kill perceived lesser players and multiple shots to the head to take down players. It's straight up greedy manipulation that is rigged against skilled players.

SBMM and EOMM are why I hate a game that I want to love. Whoever came together and decided these features were necessary are going to be responsible for the death of a franchise. As some who after be🐟ing there from day one when COD beat out Medal of Honor as the go to shooter platform, I stopped playing COD shortly after 2019 and came back to this 💩 show of the game obviously working against me to ensure that I would hate any attempt to camo grind or simply just enjoy random MP matches.

I refuse to play ranked with cheaters, or warzone with cheaters, and I hate being forced to play on my Xbox against PC players using mice and keyboards in addition to cheats. The executives have guaranteed that by thes🐓e greedy and manipulative implementations, long term supporters will loathe the experience altogetಌher eventhough this should be the best COD ever.

The ꦅcampaign was great although short, and zombies has been fun, but Ricochet doesn't prevent cheaters nor does it prevent unscrupulous players from using Xim Aimbots or connecting PCs to consoles in order to cheat while playing on console by abusing the remote connection ability of a console.

It's gross𝕴 negligence combined with greed which is a sham considering I've been playing Activision games since I had an Atari 2600. Activision is no longer gamer friendly and they have lost their soul. That's my take.
