The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has received a decent response from the public. One impression that it left among us is the use of skill-based matchmaking or SBMM.

It is a backend matchmaking system which puts players into matches with other players of the same skill level. However, some people complained regarding the SBMM in the Black Ops Cold War. Recently, the technology director of Treyarch decided to respond to those complaints.

Martin Donlon clarified someone on Twitter that games like Black Ops 2, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3 and Modern Warfare 2007 does not have SBMM and this made them better. Donlon has said that all of them had SBMM, the only fact is that they wasn’t immediately noticeable.

Donlon stated that SBMM is just one piece of the puzzle in matchmaking algorithms. SBMM is one of the tuneable parameters in a matchmaking system. But people talk about it like its a big switch that can be simply turned on or off.
