MW2 players demand SBMM communication after Apex Legends overhaul EA \/ ActivisionModern Warfare 2 players have called on Infinity Ward to improve their communication, around matchmaking especially \u2013 pointing to rival franchise Apex Legends as an example to aspire to. Since its launch back in October 2022, multiple aspects of Modern Warfare 2 have received criticism from the ever-vocal CoD community. Whether it\u2019s \u201cblinding\u201d sniper scopes or the absence of classic Call of Duty modes, there\u2019s much for the devs to mull over as we move towards Season 2. Recent developments \u2013 like the rumored but unconfirmed delay to Season 2 \u2013 have seen more criticism of the devs on the basis of a lack of communication. That\u2019s only intensified after players saw rival franchise Apex Legends release a lengthy and detailed explanation of its new skill-based matchmaking systems. MW2 players call for better dev communication \u2013 like Apex Legends The topic was highlighted by one player in a January 17 Reddit post, who said: \u201cImagine if we had communication [or] community engagement like this from CoD devs\u2026\u201d Attached was an image of Respawn Entertainment\u2019s recent community update, giving Apex players a rundown of the new game\u2019s SBMM. A number of other players echoed the sentiment of the post, with one saying: \u201cI don\u2019t think Activision and their studios will ever disclose how their matchmaking works because it will make the public angry if we find out.\u201d While MW2 and Warzone 2 are widely believed to have SBMM, neither the devs or Activision have addressed the topic publicly. That opacity is at the root of CoD players\u2019 frustrations. Another said that Activision \u201cdon\u2019t understand that transparency sells games.\u201d There have been recent rumors that Warzone 2\u2019s player count has fallen much faster than was anticipated. Plenty in the CoD community feel better communication would be a good way to rectify the franchise\u2019s current problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
