What's with the unfair matchmaking?

[redskeletons]

So, I have just started playing multiplayer... I don't have my entire life to waste in this game, but what's with the matching a level 1 with level 30+ players? I literally have no chance to do anything except die. This game is such an awesome waste of money outside of the ♥♥♥♥ story mode.

This would be all fun and games if one can actually get a kill, against people who play CoD 20+ hours a day.

Again, this is 2016. Reasonable match making is a possible thing, based on very...very simple math.

Thing is if you play during prime times on weekdays and on weekends, it's not that bad, there will be a good mix of pros and mediocres. But i can see how it can be frustrating when the whole other team is master prestiged lol

[/\\\M.G.S.D///\]

Here is an honest AND informed post.

1st: The game DOES base match making on Score Per Minute, BUT only after you play 25 games of the same game type, in a row, WITHOUT switching to another game mode. You need only to do this once in any game mode and its done for THAT game mode. The SPM matchmaking is based on the following tier system (i.e the game does not look at level so you may find many prestiege players in your lobby)

Tier 4: 0-300
Tier 3: 300-500
Tier 2: 500-800
Tier 1: 800-1000+

However, NONE of that will happen unless there are enough players near you to enable SPM matchmaking. The game's main goal is to find players and if there are not enough (i.e you have alot of people who just got the game and they have not been ranked by SPM yet, or just to few) then the game will just throw everyone into the match. Which is often why you have the problem of soo many "noobs" getting put in a match with higher level players. Now as the community of players around you ages then the games matchmaking will become accurate.

2nd: The game DOES use dedicated servers BUT only if you live in an area close to one. If not, then the game will revert to P2P connections for matchmaking. If you are in Europe or the USA/Canada then most of you will be put on a dedicated server.

I understand that this sucks for people new to the game but unless we get a server browser ala BF or CSGO, then this will always be the case.

Hope this helps

Dude please. 1 level to level 30? its fcking fair but level 30 to prestige 10 lvl 30, that might be difficult. You just have to play and get good like in any game if you play 15minutes per day dont except to perform good

Nope. Not true. Treyarch have consistently denied there is any kind of SBMM in any Treyarch game. When certain youtubers were claiming they added SBMM, David Vonderhaar denied it:

Anything for subs and views. We didn't just introduce anything. Connection is king and continues to be so. Period. End of conversation.

If you go to the BO3 subreddit, you will see several Treyarch developers active there. I can't find the thread any more, but one of them said Treyarch would never add SBMM as it doesn't work very well, and nobody wants it anyway.

SBMM in BO3 is a figment of some people's fertile imagination.

so your saying you dont have any fps skill of any kind? im pretty sure we all started playing as a level 1 at some or other. many have prestiged and started from level 1. a skilled fps player should have zero issue playing an fps game. sure you need time to familiarize with the maps and the movement but really are you telling me you cant aim and shoot or pre aim a corner and clear before running around into the open.

No one expects anything off non prestige low level player, I alwats defend them when some add goes '5-28 l2p'
As they are learning they are new and it gets easier , COD is a very noob friendly game it just takes a little practice.

I've been playing since the early days of the franchise. Really can't do much of anything in multiplayer, except die. And be trolled by people like the guy above who thinks he's a badass

U play since early days of the franchise then you should know that there is no matchmaking in any COD. I startet with MW2 after it was out for over 2 months. And i played against Presitge dudes and got rapped. If u just start any multiplayer u get rapped by people who played the game longer its something normal

I hate when I get rapped in COD. I have to mute them because I am more of a metal fan.
