Black Ops 3 Matchmaking Will Prioritize Network Quality Over Skill

4.4
If you’re a subscriber to the belief that skill-based matchmaking was at the root of all evil in last year’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s online multiplayer experience, you’ll be happy to hear what Treyarch Director Dan Bunting recently had to say about matchmaking in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.

According to Bunting’s remarks during BO3Fridays live stream, Black Ops 3 matchmaking will always prioritize network quality while skill will only be weighed when the game is trying to balance teams after a lobby has been created. He explained that there’s a lot more that goes on behind the scenes than that, but it sounds like those unhappy with last year’s system will have their pub-stomping fun this year.

In conjunction with the live stream, Treyarch also revealed a brand new Call of Duty Loyalty Program that will reward veteran Call of Duty players who’ve previously ranked up in older titles. The program says that levels reached in either Black Ops 2, Ghosts, or Advanced Warfare multiplayer will equal specific in-game rewards in Black Ops 3, including a weapon camo, reticles, and a calling card.

So all you have to do is prestige in 1 of the three previous CoD games to unlock all of the above?Not bad.

When i play CoD, i dont really care who i come up against. If they are better than i am then so be it as long as the connection is solid and dont have players lagging all over the place, im good
