Call of Duty conspiracy theory tries to explain there is a ‘skill-based audio’ matchmaking system in Modern Warfare II

As of now, everyone is aware of the skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) system that was initially introduced in 2019’s rebooted Modern Warfare. Basically, it’s a method that places a player in online lobbies with players having a similar level of skills. As a result, high-skilled and low-skilled players are placed into lobbies with other equally skilled players, respectively.

“There definitely is skill based audio in Modern Warfare II. I can barely hear footsteps on my account, but when I played on an account with low stats I could clearly hear footsteps and pinpoint where they are coming from,” read the tweet in the picture posted on the MWII subreddit.

However, the rest of the people on Reddit didn’t agree with this theory at all since they still can’t hear footsteps no matter what. Simply put, there’s no advantage of being a low-skilled player, even when it comes to hearing footsteps audio.
