Why Black Ops 7’s Multiplayer Is Under Fire

[bonk]

Skill-based matchmaking has long divided the Call of Duty community, and Black Ops 7 reignited that debate. Many players argue that constant SBMM removes the “casual” feel from public matches, turning every game into a high-stress competition rather than a place to unwind.

In response to similar complaints, Treyarch introduced “open matchmaking” in Warzone earlier this month. But the experiment hasn’t landed as hoped — many players quickly returned to standard queues, saying the new system felt inconsistent. The result is a player base dissatisfied with both options, keeping matchmaking firmly in the spotlight.
