Call of Duty developers have addressed the community's concerns regarding Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMB) in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. This matchmaking system, which aims to place players in games with others of similar skill levels, has been under scrutiny, especially because it's used in both the game's Ranked and Casual modes. Fans argue that it should be limited to Ranked play only, as it makes it difficult for solo players and those with friends of varying skill levels to enjoy the game.

The developers acknowledged the matchmaking issue and have promised to reveal more details in the near future, specifically after the launch of Season 1. They mentioned their matchmaking system's decade-long development, emphasizing that it takes into account latency, search time, skill, and other factors to provide the best experience possible.

This response comes after significant silence from the developers on the topic, despite Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III facing a variety of issues since release. These problems include spawn issues, visibility problems with certain cosmetic skins, and movement exploits. With the developers now opening up about SBMM, the community is eager to see how this will translate into future improvements in the game's matchmaking system.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, developed by Infinity Ward and rated Mature by the ESRB, is currently available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. It's yet to be seen how forthcoming the Call of Duty developers will be about their SBMM system, but their recent statement signifies a step towards greater transparency with their player base.
