“You Don’t Play This Game, It Plays You”- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Players in Disappointment Towards Matchmaking

It’s just been over a week since the launch of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and fans are already picking out what they dislike about the game. While players have taken well to most features, others are unhappy about the state of the game. Although some fans think that Modern Warfare 3 is one of the best versions of Call of Duty, many heavily disagree.

Among the many features introduced to the game, players have noticed a difference in the matchmaking. Match-making balancing is one of the most difficult elements to work on within a game, but this time complaints were different from the usual skill difference.

What is the issue with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3’s matchmaking?

One player who was disappointed with the match-making in Call of Duty took to Reddit to share their thoughts. They made a post expressing how the game feels like it has the most “manipulative matchmaking yet.” In the post, the player mentions their frustration about how the game feels unfair.

They mentioned that they are not just talking about the skill of players, but how the game changes mechanically while climbing the ladders. The player stated, “I did an experiment where I reverse boosted for 5 games and then tried hard…got a nuke and it felt like I had stopping power on.” They went on to express how they felt about the gun they were using being weaker as he climbed up the match-making ladder.

About the gun, the player said, “Bullets weren’t hitting, TTK/ttd felt way different, and even my movement felt different. Tac sprint would occasionally mess up, slide had a slight delay, etc.” Further, the player expressed how the 150 health made the manipulation more apparent. To show some credibility, the player also states that they have been playing Call of Duty games since 2010 and this is the first time they have faced such an issue with matchmaking.
