Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta Adds Non-SBMM Playlist, Opens For Everyone

Here is a 197-word summary of the news article: The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer beta has undergone several major changes and additions. Firstly, the beta is now open to everyone on all platforms, having previously been restricted to those who preordered the game or had Game Pass Ultimate. Notably, the beta now includes a non-skill-based matchmaking (non-SBMM) playlist, which has been a long-standing request from the Call of Duty community. This "open" playlist provides a more traditional matchmaking experience, with skill being "minimally considered." Players have responded enthusiastically to this change, reporting faster matchmaking times, lower pings, and more diverse skill levels in matches. The beta currently features several multiplayer maps, including a new one called Blackheart, as well as Zombies content. Various playlists are available, including the new Open Hardcore Moshpit and Open Search & Destroy. Developer Treyarch has stated they are listening to player feedback and will share more insights on matchmaking as the game approaches launch. Overall, the introduction of the non-SBMM playlist appears to be a significant addition that has been well-received by the Call of Duty community.
