Random matchmaking is the biggest reason old cods are goated. There's obviously more to it than just that, but it was actually fun and relaxing to play. The new cods are a fight for your life if you're a decent player, and just not fun.
those golden old days ... sometimes you feel like king sometimes like chit , you play for hours without even noticing... with SBMM you always chit (or sweaty chit) no mater what you do + get tired in just couple rounds.
The amount of times I shoot someone across the map and get a hit marker with my tac-50 but that same person using the m44 one shots me is insane and genuinely pissing me off a ton. Then also getting shot around corners full 10+ seconds after I turn it. Other than those two issues I love this game.
Not to be that guy, but they obviously were a better sniper then. You have to hit headshots with the M44 from range, otherwise it’s a hitmarker machine. The Tac-50 is one shot one kill, torso up, to a certain distance. It does have a damage falloff. If you got outplayed by the M44 at range, then just give the guy his credit and don’t try to just blame the game.
@@leftoverpizzza3337 Did y’all shoot each other at the same time by any chance? Cuz I will say, I don’t think I’ve even had any “trades” in this game. It almost seems as that if you’re the first one to die, then your bullet literally just no longer does damage. I’ve had that happen quite a few times. Me and a guy will shoot basically at the same time, I get dropped and my shot only lands a hitmarker which seems to have done no damage when looking at their health. That does definitely need to get fixed, or changed if it’s intentional. (Basically what happened to Jev in the first 10 seconds of the video.) They definitely have server connection issues, because I get killed when I’m sliding behind a wall/corner too.
I definitely agree with the SBMM. This feels like old school COD. Just chillin out not having to sweat every single game or knowing I'm going to get into the next game and either get swamped or destroy the enemy team. Me personally will be playing XDefiant over COD strictly for the no SBMM alone...and my sanity 😂

That’s what I get for putting in time and getting better at the game. Now if you do good you get punished. Lobbies should be random.

The rubberbanding is more than likely do to not everyone being centralized to their correct servers since the game has yet to fully release and the playerbase hasn't met its peak across regions.
Plain and simple, because if they choose "NO SBMM" they will get put in most likely kid lobbies, and drop like a 200 bomb, then everyone will start turning NO SBMM on, then all the kids will be "like wtf why am I dying so fast by this fast crazy sliding guy" and thats why 😂
Because that would be COD admitting the manupalitive coding and algorithms implemented in the game that they have spent so much $ on. Bottom outliers do not benefit their profits so they set it up using patterns heavily studied in psychology to stimulate our brains in a way to keep you engaged
@@dogwithcomb9305i have no idea where the concept of no sbmm=bot lobbies where sbmm can actually give you bot lobbies via reverse boosting. Hell it wasn’t even like this in old cod (even in this game) as there was actually a skill expression that made games feel unique instead of seeing the same ppl and the same guns And by your logic, the no sbmm will also have sweats competing against each other, however unlike being constantly paired with sweats on the enemy team they are gonna get matches where ppl dont play sweaty or use meta guns

MWIII is always the same for me, first game is always hard, usually thrown into a match in progress where my team is getting stomped, I do bad on purpose, get an easier lobby and do good, then get a crazy hard lobby that stays together for a few matches. It’s so annoying!!! Feels like a job and I definitely spend more time at the menu than in game just contemplating playing or not and even though im on Bnet, steam counts menu/lobby time as well.
This game needs at least minimum another year. When I played 10 months ago it was better then what we got this weekend and they’ve had 10 months so I have no clue what the hell they did this whole time. Plus Ubisoft won’t take over the cod community whatsoever
If anyone seriously thinks, Slide cancels or Bunnyhops how they are in this game are totally fine you should see a doctor. This game is going to be the epidemy of cr4ckhea-d bunnys hopping around 24/7
Solid point with sbmm and fatigue. I definitely notice I’m mentally fatigued after an hour or so. It also makes me paranoid that every inconvenience in the game is someone at demonware just fucking with me until I quit for the day. 😅
3:25 i was gonna say jason always says that mw3 '23 is the best cod since this new era but i thought cold war was kinda decent. like if mw3 is over cw, alright, but i don't think it's by a landslide. glad to see jason feels that way and finally stated that.
Infinity Ward do not deserve to make their own COD games at this point. There needs to be more competition in this genre like XDefiant. But even with Treyarch & SHG being the better studios, EOMM makes COD unplayable nowadays in terms of playing it for fun factor.
Cod's not interested in making good cod games because youre less likely to buy the next one if the current one's so good. They make the games just decent enough to keep people around, and just bad enough to foster mass dissatisfaction in the community to hope things will be better in the next game, making them more likely to buy it in pursuit of a "perfect game".
I get the same feeling of satisfaction that I get from COD in this game. Got a big mix of lobbies, it’s sweaty but it’s not every game like COD usually is. Can’t wait til this game drops officially. Fix the dying around corners and the hit reg and this game will be fire.
Playing a match with SBMM is like playing ranked. Not every day I want to go against sweats. Having the option to play a casual game without SBMM along with having a ranked option is a much better alternative.
Rubberbanding is pretty big in this beta, another thing I noticed was damage registration was off as well sometimes guns wouldn't even shoot at all such as snipers. Otherwise super fun.
people should listen to jev imo, you can tell he cares and knows about what he’s speaking about. i think jev is the perfect middle ground and neutral guy when it comes to cod and how things like that work. jev has nothing to lose because he’s not getting anything from cod or xdefiant or the finals, he can just say it as it is. i feel like the only difference between a random casual player and jev is that jev has a yt channel with a following.
The movement even looks smoother than the older video. Just watching the jump to slide or bunny hops it's alot more responsive with the next movement. I really can't wait for this game to drop
You so concisely explain why I despise skill-based matchmaking. I feel like most people don't really know how it works. Every time I talk to someone about it they seem to think it just balances the games. In concept that makes perfect sense. But, like you said, not knowing what will happen in the next game is so much more fun than knowing you're going up against fucking CDL level gameplay. I don't want to play against people on my level. I just want to play the damn game and have fun. And, inevitably, once I get into my groove I start caring about my stats. The simplicity of just matching you with people who are playing the same gamemode is so much better than a large system that, again, like you said, makes you feel like a lab rat.
Sbmm is like running on a treadmill. It’s a grind and you’re not rewarded for running faster, the only thing that happens is the number goes up. And if you mess up and fall you’re fucked. Casual matchmaking is like running outside on a trail. It’s nice, calm, and you can see your progress.
As someone who’s playing this hoping it’ll blow up my channel I agree with all criticisms of XD that being said as long as COD has a monopoly on FPS we have to support decent games like XD because mw3 is only “decent” because Activision knew XD was creeping up it’s the same with 2k and nba live
The desync stoll being a problem is crazy. Maybe if it happened every now and then, but literally half of my deaths are when I'm around corners. If they don't fix that, the game is never going to be successful man. There's only one thing more important than gunplay in a shooter, whether or not you die to something you shouldn't die to.
There should be an option for ranked play or maybe just imagine: an option called Ranked play with MMR, and an option called Casual without MMR, seems like a foreign concept for both Activition and Epic Games anymore.
It’s not Sbmm it’s oemm or eomm ( engagement optimised match making). Basically to keep you on as long as possible. Making it harder to complete battle pass etc
Infinityward is killing call of duty period. They make terrible design/gameplay decisions and never listen to the community. No reddots, no dead silence, terrible squad spawns, disbanding lobbies for harsher SBMM were all awful changes made by IW.
I can so relate to the feeling of fatigue he is talking about in regards to COD. Ever since MW2 the game just drains me. OG Warzone / Rebirth I could play for hours but not this game…
My biggest problem as someone who doesnt enjoy playing cod and enjoy really on R6 I was playing today, while I will say it is releases day but it just feels overly sweaty without it the amount of fights i have gotten in where all they do is jump, slide, jump, 360, jump, jump makes it miserable to play and i usually play comp but if you dont wanna play competitive you cant compete with these players normally
I love the joy jev feel when he explain how good it is to play without sbmm and this is why activision is going to kill cod because sbmm kill the fun and a not fun game is a dead game
hey good afternoon Jev. i just wanted to say, you are right about no SBMM in Xdefiant but there still is team balancing. so they won't put all the bad players that join the lobby on the same team. but i agree with you on having no SBMM. its a day and night difference.
I play basically 5 - 4 linear (ALC are a little different) on Apex but I do not like linear in this game for some reason. So I’m trying to figure out what I like. Max aim assist feels awful. No aim assist feels better than full but I’d rather be on MnK then. Can’t really find what I like yet.

this game should be canceled, nobody gives a shit about it anymore.
uno got the longest jev interaction in 3 years lmaoooo
For every like I will do 1 pushup
🧢
Down. Up.
7 is light hop too it 💪
17 light work!!!
Get the dropping no diddy
Thanks you jev, for not switching up all these years still playing random games sheesh 9 years past already
Where is sekiro😢
It’ll be back after the Xdefiant beta this weekend.
Cod's not interested in making good cod games because youre less likely to buy the next one if the current one's so good. They make the games just decent enough to keep people around, and just bad enough to foster mass dissatisfaction in the community to hope things will be better in the next game, making them more likely to buy it in pursuit of a "perfect game".
Lmao too accurate.
1 view in 1 min bro fell off
Your generation is so fucking weird. I see this on every video of any RUclipsr.
Bro what😭😭catch this ratio
Mmmm very original, very needy, mmm..
MALIK STOP DOING CRINGY RUclips TRENDS
Mehki sop being mean
I would love for you to make us dinner, Jev… In YOUR kitchen?! (Please bring back Jev’s Kitchen even if for a one off!)
I get the same feeling of satisfaction that I get from COD in this game. Got a big mix of lobbies, it’s sweaty but it’s not every game like COD usually is. Can’t wait til this game drops officially. Fix the dying around corners and the hit reg and this game will be fire.
Playing cod being exhausting is exactly how I feel every time I try to queue. Hit the nail on the head.
This makes me genuinely so excited, cod has been such a headache with the lobbies and terrible hit reg/damage
bro your explanations of SBMM are the absolute best
Playing a match with SBMM is like playing ranked. Not every day I want to go against sweats. Having the option to play a casual game without SBMM along with having a ranked option is a much better alternative.
the bus analogy on sbmm was 10/10 couldnt have been said any better
Some players are claiming that there is some type of sbmm, if the lobbies are breaking up after every match then it's probably sbmm in the game
Thing is they’re chatting bollocks 👍🏻
Rubberbanding is pretty big in this beta, another thing I noticed was damage registration was off as well sometimes guns wouldn't even shoot at all such as snipers. Otherwise super fun.
people should listen to jev imo, you can tell he cares and knows about what he’s speaking about. i think jev is the perfect middle ground and neutral guy when it comes to cod and how things like that work. jev has nothing to lose because he’s not getting anything from cod or xdefiant or the finals, he can just say it as it is. i feel like the only difference between a random casual player and jev is that jev has a yt channel with a following.
My favorite part about this game so far are the maps. They feel great, they are vibrant and remind me a lot of bo3 maps and I absolutely loved bo3
ACR's TTK is slightly faster but is harder to use. AK is funnily the lowest recoil AR in the game which is why it feels nice to use
That’s the biggest thing!! I feel no fatigue from playing this game!
The movement even looks smoother than the older video. Just watching the jump to slide or bunny hops it's alot more responsive with the next movement. I really can't wait for this game to drop
Seeing a new Jev upload always gets me rock hard
bro the fact jev responded in game chat to that dude shows how much better this game is mentally😂
You so concisely explain why I despise skill-based matchmaking. I feel like most people don't really know how it works. Every time I talk to someone about it they seem to think it just balances the games. In concept that makes perfect sense. But, like you said, not knowing what will happen in the next game is so much more fun than knowing you're going up against fucking CDL level gameplay. I don't want to play against people on my level. I just want to play the damn game and have fun. And, inevitably, once I get into my groove I start caring about my stats. The simplicity of just matching you with people who are playing the same gamemode is so much better than a large system that, again, like you said, makes you feel like a lab rat.
You gotta love the fan interactions with jev, you will struggle to find someone in the cod community that doesn't respect him.
“I might get car sick but I love the passenger seat” had me ROLLING
Sbmm is like running on a treadmill. It’s a grind and you’re not rewarded for running faster, the only thing that happens is the number goes up. And if you mess up and fall you’re fucked. Casual matchmaking is like running outside on a trail. It’s nice, calm, and you can see your progress.
As someone who’s playing this hoping it’ll blow up my channel I agree with all criticisms of XD that being said as long as COD has a monopoly on FPS we have to support decent games like XD because mw3 is only “decent” because Activision knew XD was creeping up it’s the same with 2k and nba live
MW3 had a bug where an option could be toggled to stay with the same lobby. This could be a feature later down the road or in the upcoming COD.
They're going to alienate people if they don't have TDM & FFA in the game at launch!
The thing that got me back on mwIII was the mors and the kill feed change.
i really enjoyed playing, like jev said I can keep playing with no feel of fatigue
I love the fact that is has no SBMM (: Such a refreshing feeling
I’ve noticed the red dot sight is broken on most weapons. With the reticle snapping back after recoil, other than that i love this game
Been watching since 200k Jev (or earlier). Love you man, I hope you're having a good day.
The desync stoll being a problem is crazy.
Maybe if it happened every now and then, but literally half of my deaths are when I'm around corners.
If they don't fix that, the game is never going to be successful man. There's only one thing more important than gunplay in a shooter, whether or not you die to something you shouldn't die to.
Every word you just said about not having SBMM hit da heart. JEV never stop bein you bro💪
Jev talking in game chat is the best lmao
Australia sucks. Can’t even find lobbies without resetting. Still having a blast when on. Love seeing you so hyped on a game Jev
There should be an option for ranked play or maybe just imagine: an option called Ranked play with MMR, and an option called Casual without MMR, seems like a foreign concept for both Activition and Epic Games anymore.
It’s not Sbmm it’s oemm or eomm ( engagement optimised match making). Basically to keep you on as long as possible. Making it harder to complete battle pass etc
Yo jev make a video saying cod should show all the challenges for the weapon your holding when you go to the menu would make life 100x easier
fr when i play cod I actually have to physically lean forward everytime I play just to be focused hard enough bru
The running man made me laff so hard 😂😂
5:11 Ah yes, Jev is noticing EOMM?
Jev not going thru bloodborne again with the whirligig saw is a crime against humanity
Infinityward is killing call of duty period. They make terrible design/gameplay decisions and never listen to the community. No reddots, no dead silence, terrible squad spawns, disbanding lobbies for harsher SBMM were all awful changes made by IW.
I remember saying "this Jeversons guy keeps getting me" and it's you HAHA
nahh jev ur analogies are too coldd
I can so relate to the feeling of fatigue he is talking about in regards to COD. Ever since MW2 the game just drains me. OG Warzone / Rebirth I could play for hours but not this game…
“I want to be carried”😢 -Jev 2024
My biggest problem as someone who doesnt enjoy playing cod and enjoy really on R6 I was playing today, while I will say it is releases day but it just feels overly sweaty without it the amount of fights i have gotten in where all they do is jump, slide, jump, 360, jump, jump makes it miserable to play and i usually play comp but if you dont wanna play competitive you cant compete with these players normally
I love the joy jev feel when he explain how good it is to play without sbmm and this is why activision is going to kill cod because sbmm kill the fun and a not fun game is a dead game
hey good afternoon Jev. i just wanted to say, you are right about no SBMM in Xdefiant but there still is team balancing. so they won't put all the bad players that join the lobby on the same team. but i agree with you on having no SBMM. its a day and night difference.
I play basically 5 - 4 linear (ALC are a little different) on Apex but I do not like linear in this game for some reason. So I’m trying to figure out what I like. Max aim assist feels awful. No aim assist feels better than full but I’d rather be on MnK then. Can’t really find what I like yet.
