Black Ops 7 won't include controversial matchmaking feature after beta feedback

In a move responding to player feedback from the recent beta, the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will not feature the controversial skill-based matchmaking system. This system, which matched players based on their skill level, had been a point of contention among the gaming community, with many players criticizing it for creating unbalanced matches and diminishing the enjoyment of casual play. The developers have acknowledged the concerns raised during the beta testing phase and have decided to abandon the skill-based matchmaking approach for the game's launch. This decision is expected to provide a more varied and balanced player experience, allowing for a wider range of skill levels to compete against each other. The removal of the skill-based matchmaking feature is seen as a positive step by many players, who have been advocating for a more traditional, connection-based matchmaking system that prioritizes low-latency gameplay over strict skill-based pairings.
