COD algorithm hits hard!

[sgtkoolaid]

came back after a brief hiatus from playing due to responsibilities in my life. sat down tonight, and absolutely dominated matches 3.57 KDR easily sitting at 3-4 KDR for 3-4 matches back to back, for example in one match hit 50 kills to 7 deaths. then reality kicked in, got into a new match, switched to my bryson 890 shotgun with rated with Aim speed, and dmg output, combined with dragon's breath and you'd swear I was shooting blanks. absolutely got steamrolled. got maybe 5 kills lol. then the next match bit better but still ended up with a .59 kdr. match after that maybe got a bit closer to .8 KDR but had to work for it hard lol. wtf. shots weren't registering, my aim was off to the side, people getting the drop on me out of nothingness or some how spawning on top of me or just behind me, players able to one shot me or shoot and drop me before i could even bring my gun to Sight. just baffles me on how the hell do you explain that. absolute suspect crap. i heard of COD algo's but never thought I'd witness it first hand.

Honestly same, any time I play a different game then come back to cod I feel like a god for the first 5 matches. Then I'm reminded of why I really left.

[redhead9]

exact same. game gives you one really good game then its back to BS deaths and low damage. really shows when my sniper suddenly stops one shotting the spots that I have tested to prove they one shot.

yeah just now after say 10 or so matches of getting sub 1.0 KDR's no matter what i did, I am now getting above slightly 1.0 kdr rates lol. I heard of COD algo but to see it first hand so blatant, was a trip. even my mouse speed changed suddenly, and my aim was off compared to the first 3-4 matches. I also noticed my shots not registering or other players seem to out damage you despite you aiming to their torso/head, you still die even when you bare your gun on them first. that was odd as hell. also had to go into mouse settings to lower it to something smoother and more manageable because it sped up despite not changing anything in my global mouse settings in my main software. That has happened to me in the past. just makes you wonder what they are doing under the hood to augment/effect your playing artificially. It is clear some suspect crap is going on.

agreed. makes you wonder why you should play if you aren't being rewarded for your skill, but instead if you show exemplary skill in game you end up purposefully handicapped and gimped by the game. Makes you question "What is my incentive to play if I am being punished for being good at a game."

I rpg'd myself constantly for 10 games and once I started playing serious again my enemies died in 2 bullets, my equipment had an extra blast radius just obliterating anyone. Dropped all of my streaks and got a 10 kd, uninstalled right after because what's the point if I don't have any control over my performance.

can confirm, every time I come back to regular MP after a longer pause, the first couple of matches are really fun and a blast, it feels like normal fair games but after a while it´s game over again, suddenly everyone seems to have aimbot wallhack and no recoil and your guns do half the damage they did before...

the matchmaking sucks big time, not only the sbmm issue but I also get the same old maps in rotation, I just saw a new map maybe once or twice, map rotations is so flawed, some of the new maps I never got to play, it´s always the same old maps I already played to death in previous seasons..

this game is deeply flawed and just not fun in the long run period.

I also think they trick you a lot more than you imagine the whole time, if you buy stuff or weapons in the shop, you got some bonus for a while, that weapon is going to perform really well for a while then all of a sudden it turns into crap again so that you maybe think to buy another one.

I am pretty sure they are trolling and manipulating the players the whole time with such BS and more..

back to some good old plutonium fun I guess...

Is the same even in DMZ, after you have few amazing games, sundenly your weapon become trash, 30-40 bullets on head and chest, you even hear the hitmarker and you die in 3-4 bullets from the enemy.
In few words when the game want you to die, you will die, no matter how good you play, what armor you have, what weapon you have!

Try again another time - since so4 launched it's been the same.
Cheaters at launch of so4 - calmed down for a week, then started to be a problem again and it went up and down like this.
Currently it's up - cheaters in nearly every single match of Multiplayer. It's certain types of people as well all the time but Activision fails to address this by putting in a region filter to help people avoid these types of "people".

the problem is sbmm, if you are doing good, say you have a few matches with high Kills ratio, sbmm will put you with other player with similar stats in the next matches and ofc you are going to face more cheaters because cheaters have high kills ratio so it stops to be fair and fun because you end up in lobbies where you might be the only one who is not cheating lol
sad but true.

People love to deny that there is an issue with cheating when there so blatantly is.
Lobbies I have been in today contained so many cheaters that it slowly became tedious to play.

It makes the game very boring - I haven't bought a call of duty game in a long time. I wanted a competitive PVP shooting experience, as they claim Call of duty delivers.
What I got was a piece of ♥♥♥♥ riddled with bugs and other issues and a game full of vermin using cheats and to top that off, developers who don't give a ♥♥♥♥ and would instead rather ban people making the reports than to actually address the fact that their anti-cheat is known to be a complete joke and the cheaters in their game.


When they did the new EULA, they offered all North American people a full refund if they didn't want to accept - if they offered that to me, I'd take it without even thinking about it.
I'd snatch it from them like an owl snatches a rat from the field.
I only play this game because I have it. I do blame myself because I knew call of duty was ♥♥♥♥ for years, it has been ♥♥♥♥ since MW2 and it is my fault for having nostalgia and giving in to it and buying this game. I'm glad I did though because it has completely destroyed any nostalgia I had lmao

Agreed, seen players take being hit with frags, dragons breath from a teamate and myself hitting them at near point blank with the Broadside and we all die the other team apparently received very little damage.. Two rounds later with the same set up, I kill 6 operators.

here's a prime example on that, Dragon's breath on my bryson 890 specced/tuned for Aim speed, and damage/velocity output was like I was shooting confetti and blanks despite being maybe 5-8m and wasn't dropping them. Also I hit someone with a RPG and they didn't die despite hitting them damn near near their feet what would be scale 3 feet in the real world. lol they would diee from shrapnel damage, concussive force of the blast and heat damage. lol. It didn't happen once, not twice, but 3 times easily. lol. then toward the 7th or 8th crap match cluster, it started to register more where i hit the rpg at their feet and bam! died instant. prior to that they only took partial damage somehow. was like aww hell no wtf was that BS. lol. Mind you my ping was around 20 so latency was not an issue on my end. the SBMM is such a grimey ass system. Even when I switched back to the original gun I used in the dominating matches its performance changed. less damage, lack of registered hits, aim was off. :/

go play ranked. no one gives a ♥♥♥♥ what happens in SBMM (algorithm) matches now.

Yep I also saw this kind of BS, it´s the sbmm but also a whole lot of other sus things going on in pretty much every match.

even their ricochet anticheat can come in and cause "hallucinations" and all sort of real time manipulation, add real cheaters and there is so much BS going on under the hood that it´s impossible or very rare to have a consistent experience.

this COD has to be the most inconsistent I ever played.

so you keep playing ignoring all this stuff just hoping to get some "normal" matches again until you had enough.

one thing is pretty sure, I won´t be buying MW3 at release, maybe later on when it´s on sales just for the campaign if that´s decent enough.

the online experience has been mostly crap on this one.
