Activision Debunks Call of Duty Matchmaking Myths

Activision reveals that players cannot outsmart Call of Duty's skill-based matchmaking by restarting it, as the developers offer a detailed explanation of how the matchmaking process works. They defend the inclusion of skill in matchmaking, stating that it increases variety of outcomes for players of all skill levels and prevents a "spiral effect" caused by lower skilled players quitting matches. Despite criticism from high skill players, the developers maintain that the data supports the current system and emphasize the importance of maintaining a fair ecosystem for players of all abilities.
