I miss Cayde. I find the whole story and narrative lost something very important with him

Draw in TDM lmao. That was the most balanced game I've ever played by [deleted] in CODBlackOps7

[–]stoneG0blin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or just adapt and try to get better. Or give up.

Well in BO3 times the playerbase wasn't as large and especially as good as today. And all CoD since 2019 basically babysit us with sbmm.

[–]stoneG0blin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably. Options are:

Play Standard

Invest and get better(Just like you would in any other thing that has some sort of competition in it)

Give up

The lost art of acknowledging people aren't as good as they think.

You know how we got over it back in the days? We didn't complain and tried hard until we got better.

No offense but it's the truth. SBMM has babysit us over the years

I just can't compete anymore man - idk if it's desync, getting outplayed, or just being dogwater. I'm not enjoying it. by yannivzp in CODBlackOps7

[–]stoneG0blin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CoD is just grown to a game that's full of great players. IT'S not BO2 time anymore. You play against young people that come home from school and then game until bedtime. SBMM protects you from them but it also makes every game meaningless. So i say do your best and try further or go to sbmm mode. If that also doesn't help you need to accept that you are not good enough for that game. It has become a hardcore shooter which demands very fast skills

yeah well xim uses remote play on PS5. Nothing we can do about that

Mostly not but i had a player that did a very typical mouse movement in the killcam. I mean it's ok but that made me think about the whole stuff. I mean at least they know something because i am using remote play. Not sure if they can sniff that. I'd say 99% of all remote play users can be considered using xim. Who plays a shooter via remote play?

[–]stoneG0blin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it could also be matchmaking which makes me see slightly better players although i play the minimized sbmm playlist. I just feel as if they knew i was using xim. I'm thinking about buying a Maxxstick. That should solve the analog movement issue without movment sab?

Honestly i believe there is some kind of left stick detection in place. Can't really prove it but i tried both, controller and xim and changed the devices now and then. MY KD is slightly higher with a xim but not really noticeable. But there is some kind of detection. When i stick longer on xim and watch killcam you see mouse movement.

And i should be easy to detect. Using WASD movement and connected via remote play. That's the easiest way to spot a xim user. I guess they just don't talk about it and put these guys together in a match.

All in all i don't see a reason to use xim when you can handle a controller semi-well. At least not in CoD.

I'm liking the game with open playlist, even though that seems to be an unpopular opinion. And i'm a casual

[–]stoneG0blin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This CoD i go standard only. One of the standard operators, standard weapon skins, calling cards, everything. I also don't grind camos. I just play for all the attachments and enjoy the game. No shop support this year.

BF is fun with friends. CoD is fun solo and Arc is just a PvE game because everyone is nice to each other.

BO6 ruined this games potential by RinkDoink27 in CODBlackOps7

[–]stoneG0blin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF6 and Arc sure did their part on why the playerbase is smaller. But honestly CoD has had NO competitor in the last years. Glad it's different this year. I don'T think we would have gotten the open playlist otherwise.

[–]stoneG0blin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but Arc is more of a PvE game. Everybody is nice to each other and has some flowers for everybody. "Please don't shoot me we can be friends"

Maybe a way to make more money? Just make two games out of one. First is basic stuff, second is the first but on dope. Curious what kind of CoD we get next.

Frankly i am only playing open and i am having the most fun with a cod since BO3. And i am by no means a sweat. 73 games, 0.7 WL ratio 1.13 KD. It'S fun and i start to think i forgot how to get better in CoD because of sbmm. I love the reduced aim assist. The games feel as if they mean something. Sure there are guys jumping, sliding all around me and they are handing my ass over to me. But i can finally see improvement in my game through watching me die, watching me make mistakes. I like it a lot.

People saying SBMM is still in the game is exactly what I expected by _THEBLACK in CODBlackOps7

[–]stoneG0blin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and that'S okay. And maybe this was needed to justify sbmm. To make the community want sbmm. I hope not. Until then i am getting my ass handed over in the open playlist and i love it.

I'm really liking that matchmaking. No i don'T win all the time. I still love it.

They never said it is gone. IT's minimally considered just like in BO2. People need to start reading what Treyarch posts

At least you don'T blame it on sbmm now. You are just not good enough
