There is Thermite from attackers who is able to burn through any fortified wall using its thermite charge. For example, Doc from the defenders rank can replenish the health points of his allies using pistol with three syringes or raise the wounded and give a temporary shield. Each operative has his own peculiarity as a special gadget or skill, which makes his gameplay unique. Maybe it's time for CoD to do the same.One of the main features of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege are operatives who act here not as simple model reskins, but as fighters with a unique fighting style. Of course, these are problems that are already solved by games with separate casual and ranked modes. It's a valuable perk that makes CoD attractive, but one can't help but feeling like a longer wait could result in a fairer matchup. No matter if it's peak hours or the middle of the night, I can be in a CoD match within seconds. Treyarch hasn't publicly shared how strict Cold War's matchmaking is (and likely never will), but its wait times speak for themselves. That wait is intentional-the matchmaking algorithm isn't willing to compromise on low ping or similar skill. Finding a competitive match in CS:GO or Valorant (games with plenty of players) can take anywhere from three to eight minutes depending on your region and rank. The K/D-focused system that Ace is observing is consistent with Call of Duty's emphasis on short matchmaking times. Next couple of games after that, I get wiped again by immediate headshots, etc," said Reddit user Marino4K (opens in new tab). I then string together two decent games in a row.
"First game I played, had a 2.0 K/D, next 5 games proceed to get destroyed by people who feel like they've been playing this game for months, auto headshot, jump shot pros, etc. The idea is that the game is figuring out where your average rank lies and will try to keep you there.Īs any frequenter of Cold War's bustling subreddit knows, posts outlining frustrations with SBMM are commonplace. Once you're in a ranked bracket, it gets harder to leave that bracket the more matches you play. As an objective and team-based FPS, winning and losing in Siege are what determine whether your rank climbs or sinks.
Rainbow Six Siege, among other shooters, doesn't weigh individual skill at all (opens in new tab). If accurate, it's a curious system that differs from how many games handle skill rating. The data is consistent with a similar experiment (opens in new tab) Ace ran last year in Modern Warfare, suggesting the two games may share methods.
Across the 90 matches examined by Ace from nine accounts of varying skill, he observed a trend that suggests players are matched based on their kill-death ratio from recent matches.
The results? While certainly not definitive with a small sample size, Ace's data suggests that Cold War (and other CoD games by extension) doesn't determine skill in the way FPS players are accustomed to.
