Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is reportedly going to change its skill-based matchmaking system
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was recently confirmed as a sequel to 2019's Modern Warfare. It will also be a reboot of the original Modern Warfare 2 that was released in 2009. Recently, it has been reported that one of the most important features of the franchise will change with the release of this title.
Almost every multiplayer game has a matchmaking system based on player ability in the form of skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) and this is no different for Call of Duty. Its main aim is to match players with similar skill levels in a lobby to ensure fair and fun competition. With the release of Modern Warfare II, the franchise will take a different approach towards skill-based matchmaking.
In recent years, SBMM has received huge backlash from the community of the franchise. Players have demanded a change in the system and Infinity Ward is finally bringing some modifications to the system.
Ralph, a reliable CoD insider, has said that the studio will revise its matchmaking system with Modern Warfare II.
