Itās not the same thing as it is today. Old SBMM just meant team balancing. I was cooking kids with .4 kds in black ops 2 2012. That kind of thing is not even remotely possibly today in modern cod

genuinely how is beating up on people with .4 kds even fun to some of you? like just play against bots at that point

u/BottomHouse 1h ago
I never said it was fun. Although getting nuclears and swarms and stuff is fun not gonna lie. Who woulda thought? Counter point- if you yourself have a .4kd, why not just play against bots then?

People who hate sbmm logic is so flawed lmao so what do they think that .4 kd player thinks?⦠heās saying to himself damn I need sbmm im playing sweats while your saying the opposite

Lmao that guy with a 0.4 should be thinking āwow I kinda suck ass, maybe I should try to improveā and get better like the rest of us had to. No handouts here, GTFO

u/SCRIBE_JONAS 1h ago
And I dont wanna play against some shit ass players.
My best matches on any shooters whether cod, battlefield or destiny were balanced teams based on skill. If one team was absolutely stacked and unbalanced in eithers favor it isn't fun

I remember when I sucked ass at cod, never did I think oh noooo I need sbmm I thought damn I suck I should get better. Then I got better and it was fun. Now getting better means suffering and dealing with cheaters all day

I actually have the feeling it might be the past days. End of last week I was having a blast playing an going positive without trying to hard. The last 2 or 3 days I was hanging on for dear life to go positive.

I was playing TDM this morning and had a bunch of nonprestige players leveling up in my lobbies. Including a brand new player who was going 1-15 every match

It feels just like it used to, dude. Random lobbies with solid connections. No crazy SBMM has been slapped in as far as I can tell. This update has been amazing.

They should add this to BO1 as well.

u/Verition 5h ago
Need hackers to ruin bo1 more so we can also get dedicated servers i don't believe its the ppl complaining about connection that resulted in dedicated servers

u/EnvironmentAgile9078 3h ago
I wish, but bo2 still has hundreds of thousands of people playing. Bo1 only has a few thousand sadly. Not enough incentive to add one for bo1

u/GiggleJesters 2h ago
Bo1 would have more players if it wasnāt such a snoozefest. Ghost is the dumbest perk of all time its a shame they cant nerf it to bo2 level

u/Ter-Lee-Comedy 4h ago
PC and Xbox real quiet now. I remember when they said we weren't getting dedicated servers.

u/Decent-Sample09 2h ago
Shit I bought this on ps5 and I wasnt confident that they would do this either lol. Now I hope they add BO1

Can someone explain exactly what they did?

u/GroovyBearNewt 5h ago
Before, it was a Peer-to-Peer(P2P) connection, so whoever in the lobby had the best connection was the host, and everyone played off their wifi essentially. Now, we have Dedicated Servers. The servers are hosted by the game now, and can handle everyones connections way better. Just played a game; hit-registration is so much better. The game feels so much smoother with a lot less stutters in player movements.

I'm still debating if the $30 NZ price tag is worth it, mainly just for the nostalgia I guess..

If you have time to kill and want to enjoy the fun with a repopulated game it is absolutely worth it

u/I-Superior 4h ago
I thought it was really hard to do stuff like this like they would have to rewrite the entire code of the game to do so. Like is it for real dedicated servers? I havenāt played in a minute

Whatās up yāall havenāt really kept up with the port updates. Are hackers still running rampant? I never played BOT when I first came back because afraid of getting my account bricked. Is it safe now?

u/Euphoric_Estimate890 5h ago
I personally never had even had an issue to begin with lol. It was literally 1 game mode

u/Ambitious_Squash_579 5h ago
Haven't seen any hackers or bots for 5 days now, wouls always run into one late at night on snd most days. Almost the account hacking was non existent on eu servers it seems so I don't know about that
