The Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War beta has had a mix of positive and negative reviews so far. This only means that the developers have a lot of work to do before the release. Nevertheless, the game does indeed look like a serious upgrade on the previous titles in terms of visuals. But amidst all the talk regarding the game?s mechanics, one particular topic has taken over the center stage yet again.

Yes, we?re talking about skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in the game. This particular feature has been at the center of controversy since forever. Casual gamers, pros, and streamers have all given their own views on this. The community as a whole has always had divided opinions on the same.

Black Ops Cold War, too, features SBMM in the beta, which has naturally propelled the feature into discussion again.

Additionally, he also points out that it is a great system for games that don’t have a ranked mode. This obviously got a lot of replies from the community where fellow streamers had contrasting opinions about it.

There is no controversy here whatsoever, and that is exactly how debates should be. Myth just expressed his opinion about something that got mixed reactions from the community. SBMM may be a topic that may never have a permanent ?solution?, but that doesn?t mean that the community shouldn?t discuss it.

The system is far from perfect. Many other games also have their own SBMM systems, but none of those are perfect either. But the fact that the community is talking about it is a good sign considering the developers must be listening, too. This is great for the future titles where they can possibly have a better, more balanced system that caters to both casual and pro gamers.
