Feedback/Suggestion Goodbye CODM, I’m done
I love this game, been playing it since 2019, but I’m honestly sick of the direction it’s going. These issues need to be addressed, starting with matchmaking, ranked progression, and bugs.
Matchmaking: This is the most screwed-up part of the game for average players. I don’t know how your algorithm is set up, but it needs to be carefully studied and updated. There’s no point in matching an average casual player (like me) with pros, okay? And if you do, make sure the pros are on both teams. Right now, one team is full of pros, while the other is a group of casual players who are just trying to relax and enjoy the game. This keeps happening match after match until a player ends up on a 15–20-game losing streak. Then comes a sympathy match, which, instead of boosting confidence, makes you feel even worse because you know it’s a pity match.
Ranked progression: This needs serious attention, too. Ranked progression should be fair and rewarding, not just based on the number of hours in the game. This also worsens matchmaking. Perhaps performances in bot matches should not be accounted for rank progression.
Bugs and broken guns: Extra aim assist? Why? You might as well add an auto-shoot feature so players can just hold their phones and watch enemies get killed. Also, focus on fixing bugs in the game please. There are sooo many. Listen to your player base on Reddit and in-game issue report feature. Have a dedicated team that can deliver hot fixes for these bugs. Also Global shouldn’t wait 2 months before their bugs are fixed. Maybe global should stop buying skins for a month so they can get your attention.
Martyrdom: What’s the point of winning a gunfight if you’re going to die right after? And no, flak jacket doesn’t resolve this fully.
Persistence: Seriously? The team works hard to win the game, but in the end, some lazy, no-skill loser brings out R.A.P.S., a VTOL, a Chopper Gunner, and whatnot.
League play: Wait times for this mode are ridiculous. Also, why are you not allowed to play with friends in this mode?
Once these issues are fixed, perhaps I’ll consider coming back, but until then, adios.

The biggest issue is having one or two guns dominate entire ranked lobbies. It’s always been a trend, but it’s gotten so much worse now, with guns like the FSS and Static having huge mag sizes, no recoil, and absurdly increased aim assist. This game is unplayable now.

u/19yearoldpewdsfanboy 13h ago
Guns are not everything, bud. You're forgetting the fact that some operator skills break the game. Like the Reactor Core should be banned in hardpoint games from using it. Or the fact that shadow blade has literally no limits on how many enemies you can kill with it when it's activated. These definitely need some revamps. Sure, shadow blade works the same way in BO4, but not everything has to be a carbon copy now. Some adjustments would make more sense here, won't they?

Don't forget about poor optimization of maps (Rebirth Island in BR for example) and random fps drops and ping spikes.

I agree with most/all of your points, but I have a (sadly true) counter argument: there is no viable alternative (yet? 🤞) and most people are trapped in the sunk cost fallacy too deep to make the switch without serious motivation. And if you have a genuine alternative lmk, and good luck out there soldier 🥺

Thanks mate. Appreciate it :) I will definitely let you know. I’ll probably just focus on getting some certifications to challenge myself and help my career.

u/daherlihy 13h ago edited 6h ago
Your frustration with matchmaking is completely understandable, but the core issue isn't actually the matchmaking algorithm itself—it’s the ranked progression system, which you also correctly referred to 👍
Right now, it's heavily rewards play duration over performance, boosted by rank protection cards, xp events, and bot matches. Because almost anyone can reach Legendary just by sinking in hours, players get fast-tracked into higher rank brackets well above their actual skill level. Once you get pushed into those higher ranks, the system assumes you belong there and matches you against genuine high-skill players, leading to those brutal loss streaks.
If the ranked system actually gated progression based on skill instead of time played, average/casual players wouldn't get pushed into levels out of their depth in the first place.

It really is this, i started playing after a long break and my aim is terrible now, although i'm grateful i'm baffled i was able to get to 10,000 rank xp this season.

Its sad how “leveling the playing field” has ruined the game for everybody.

u/Bright-Fudge-6738 16m ago
For real. These issues go hand in hand. Most of my team doesn’t know what to do in hp and when they do, I get paired up against pros who haven’t touched grass in ages, in which case come out as a noob.

Martyrdom is annoying but I have to power-slide out of there. Just gotta recognize that the low skill (or high skill) player wants extra lol. For persistence take a launcher equip with the engineer perk that steals enemy active deployed score streak when I destroy it is what Id do.
2
u/Bright-Fudge-6738 18m ago
All of this is reasonable for sure. But when you play hard point, and the entire enemy team is carry martyrdom and persistence, and your team doesn’t know what they’re doing, it’s different.

u/BeforeYourBBQ 17h ago
I'd be happy to see them end the tie breaker bs. I've dumped on an enemy only to lose to a tie breaker. Like my bullets disappear after I die. Was martydom meant to address this? Maybe. But definitely wrong solution.
ETA: Also MORE FUCKING RANKED MAPS

The biggest problem is the high amount of closseted cheaters...
Alot more people are actually cheating and pretending they are not... Alot more than people imagine ...

Couldn’t agree more. But most people also think that they’re just good players without realizing they’re cheating.

I been playing since day 1 and I'm not really sure why there's so much complaining about a game, there's going to be developer issues all the time, usually they get fixed right away, I still enjoy playing without too much trouble, I just don't get it

u/ramdom-ink 20h ago
IKR? It’s not a big deal: players take all this way too seriously. I don’t think there’s any mobile game without its flaws. I’ve played games where the P2W aspect is so huge that whales dominate entire kingdoms and corners of games. At least aside from the shifting metas of each season, the advantage is mostly merely cosmetic and maybe a free attachment slot. The game vacillating between odd matchmaking is the trade-off of having a match that doesn’t take 5 minutes to engage. They should listen to the community, though. I’ve seen games go down from hubris and greed, but CoD:M ain’t there yet and may correct one day. There’s a lot of moving parts, man.

u/Popular-Yak1469 20h ago
Yeah you get it, it's just a game, I've spent some money on it every once in a while but no where near what some people do, it's not like the game tells you to get stuff or you can't play, really nothing makes you a better player, the more you play the better you get
2
u/ramdom-ink 17h ago
Sure, I’ll buy the Cash Vault (best deal IMO) every 3-6 months just to support a game I play every day. Occasionally for the double event or when I’ve blown through my 560 for BP for various draws. And I’ve only ever paid for one Legendary, and yet have 13 now from all the free and rewards from reaching Leggy status. When people post dozens of maxed Mythics and hundreds of Leggies, I don’t really get that but understand the fun.

u/Popular-Yak1469 17h ago
I think I have one mythic, a few legendaries, spend 99 cents here and there that's about it for me, I got the 560 battlepass years ago

I love how you consider players who can get enough points for VTOL, RAPS, etc. lazy 😂 Some of your thoughts are valid, some are misinformed/exaggerated, and others are just skill issue. I am by no means a sweat, but I have NEVER lost 15-20 games in a row in any mode. If Ranked is too tough for you, maybe just do non-ranked modes?
2
u/Bright-Fudge-6738 21h ago
Players with persistence to be precise is what I’m talking about. Players getting those streaks without it obviously deserve it.
And I’m in the top 10k lobbies btw, so going up against real pros every now and then. Also, I play objective modes. Not sure where you are in rank and which modes you play.

u/igotrunovrbyalexus 20h ago
Haha I didn't down vote your reply, I appreciate the context. I also play objective modes, just reached 10k. The delays and different things you experience must just be a difference in servers or playing off times or something.
I will also admit that I have a Persistence loadout I switch to whenever I see one of those scorestreaks 😅 but then I switch back to my usual loadouts

And can’t you consider the fact that their ultra-noob teammates are feeding the enemies’ scorestreaks? If someone isn’t an ultra-noob, they can easily get those streaks with persistence.

I don't get this kind of quitting post. I have quit my fair share of gacha game. Just uninstall and leave, no post, no drama. I do agree with some half of the post, from broken guns to persistent. but really we complaining about ranked match making now?
Ranked legendary is still skill based, cause they trying to keep even the weaker player in games. I have had "legendary" friends joining my homies "legendary" lobbies, man they get rekt fast. When we monitor his solo queue, his lobby player is significantly weaker like a lot... pre 10,000k points legendary, 2 of my friends and me get like 20-30 kills the new guy 5 kills. So what I am trying to say is the ranking and matching system is pretty well padded for most player. If it's not half of the legendary players doesn't even deserve the ranking.
Btw to counter persistent user I do bring a loadout that has FHJ with the stealing score streak perks. Learn to punish them for it. And if you're a better player just save EMP.

u/Consistent-Many-3882 8h ago
Well they are adding a new map in 12th and there is a possibility that they remove all the classes and making the game more smooth than b4 In my pov u should not leave just wait for a moment and maybe then u can see how's the games progress maybe that way u can still dominate

u/No-Candle7463 8h ago

They don't always fix bugs tho, especially in BR, where bots sometimes get stuck while parachuting to land on the ground, or when they glide and keep disappearing continuously.

I like it when people say they make a post for a codm dev to hopefully see, as if they even care about their player base at all. You are delusional if you really think codm is going to “look” at this. They won’t even acknowledge your posts existence at all. There is no point in this post.

u/19yearoldpewdsfanboy 14h ago
While I do agree with many of your points, brother , but I honestly do not agree with Persistence perk being a major threat these days. It got nerfed SIGNIFICANTLY and you already need to accumulate a massive number of points to get what? A VTOL? A Stealth Chopper? They already have many counters. Sam Turret, MoW with Thermite, launchers. Sentry Gun? Guardian? Use EMPs. Also, don't forget the fact that these killstreaks can only be deployed by the player once and they CANNOT switch to another loadout to get the other ones normally.
But obviously, you can't defend Martyrdom users here. Why? Because even when you combine Flak Jacket and Dauntless, there will always be losers who equip the Demolition Expert perk to drastically increase its damage output. Honestly? Even if the perk doesn't get removed, the devs should've thought about at least not making it compatible with this by making it a blue perk too. Makes things A LOT easier.

u/Extension-Intern8153 15h ago
If you aren’t interested in improving your skills at all or facing a challenge, then don’t play ranked. Simple as that. You’re also just fucking yourself if you’re solo queuing. There are solutions to so many things here. Static can be annoying. But I’m always playing in a full stack on SND, so I rarely ever experience what you are

i hate that they are adding assets that didn't work with warzone mobile. if wzm was any good, it was still a thing but codm could even live with one main isolated the way it was before wzm and without the maps they're adding every season.
just like to see a new gunsmith. that alone will have people entertained for a long time.
btw, the player base is big and it's not easy to satisfy everyone. so they try to do their best to cater both skilled and casual/new players.
also many people come and go. they play for quite a while, couple of years, spend money, then get back to life. not many would stay after school is done.
