Sbmm has gotten so crazy people are forgetting that bad players use to exist. Back in ye olde days you'd always run across one or two bad players here and there, but nowadays they are non existent.
EOMM, not SBMM. If they had reasonable SBMM in place all lobbies would be even across teams, not having 1 or 2 players on each team dominating every single match. Would love to see a casual playlist that doesn't track stats and matches people based on games played and connection. Would be a lot of fun.
I am an Activision Ai bot, and I can confirm that Activision did create me in a lab, and have had me and my Ai bot acquaintances run around like real players since 2019. At least that is the story I tell to explain my awful abilities in this game, and no one can prove otherwise.
They had bots in War mode when storming the beach to get the numbers up so it played more like a proper beach storming - and those bots were pretty good at navigating the maps
@@Scooty_scoob I remember when I was still learning COD I used to play with bots all the time, Veteran level bots were too good to mimic realistic behaviors, but Hardened difficulty was just about right. Good aim, but didn't hit every shot and didn't react to you coming around a corner until after you're in their line of sight. Even the Rookie level bots didn't behave like they do in this video. Definitely not Activision bots.
The no #tag at the end of a name thing is the sign of a legacy account, one that was created prior to the release of MW'19 (I'm pretty sure that these accounts might even date as far back as the original MW3 when Call of Duty Elite was a thing). So as long as you have one of these accounts and have never changed your username, you won't have a #tag after your name.
If you dont have the hashtag and number, just means you made an Activision account before they changed their naming system to allow duplicate names. I made mine during the Bo2 days because i tried using the in-game livestreaming system, which required an Activision account, which is why I dont have a hashtag after my name
@@bradenmchenry995I don’t have numbers or a # but I have been gaming since the early 90s on my own system (my relatives had systems I played on before that)
Same here, I made my account when I originally signed up for CoD Elite for the OG MW3. So whenever I see this for other folks, I just assume they have an older account from before ATVI changed the system on their end. 🤷
I really find it funny to see that people think a player running in circles is CLEARLY a bot when if you just create a closed match with bots you'd see they even jump shot and corner camp, they're not stupid at all, even on the easiest difficulty
Ngl its sorta scary how smart the bots in custom lobbies are honestly they do some of the same shit that i do hell i saw a high diffaculty bot running around quickscoping me and my teams bots and im like wth this is insaine haha
@@ravv1414 so it's gone from "I cant get kills because of SBMM" to "cod matches are full of fake players" 😂 pick one will you 😂 even the Bot father said himself "my videos arent supposed to be taken seriously, they are for entertainment purposes 😂 how am I supposed to research the topics i cover in videos 😂 my persona is like a pro wrestler" 😂 actual crackhead
It’s a great example of just how easy it is to convince people of a conspiracy theory through confirmation bias and emotional arguments. Some of the shit people throw around as “undeniable proof” is shocking.
@silphwave9907 well, for example, there are a significant number of players who are boycotting MW3 because it was rumored to have originally been planned as an expansion to MW2 at one point in its development. Whether or not it was is irrelevant. We ended up getting a full sequels worth of content aside from campaign, and MP is incorporating more community feedback that it's the most fun it's been in years. However, because these players aren't buying the game, Activision will interpret the sales of the game as "when we listen to the community and make MP a fun throwback to pre-MW19 days, it doesn't sell," and they will go back to ignoring community feedback, delivering even more games that the core fanbase doesn't like or enjoy. It's not "endangering" someone (maybe the jobs of some SHG devs and management), but it's endangering the chances of us getting more good CoD games.
@@Jordybballking and unfortunately, they need to get bashed if we ever want the games to improve. sitting in silence is complying with the shit activision pushes out each year. now i will say, bashing on the game and spreading theories with little to no basis are two very different things, and i don't agree that conspiracy theories should be taken as fact unless proven beyond reasonable doubt. but call of duty fans are fed up with this franchise; the radio silence from the developers, a once thriving community slowly dwindling, eomm practically rigging your experience much like a casino would, activision's shady business practices etc. and we absolutely have to pressure activision on this if we ever want to see change. i once loved this franchise, and i want to see it succeed, but currently it's not there because of dumb decisions to please shareholders.
My man you're talking about a guy who made a 10mn+ video about a bugged bundle in BOCW. He's just making his money on bashing cod, he and his community are clowns that shouldn't be listened to
@@Alfxyizz fr, bro says "I'm done with Cod, I dont buy any of the new games and wont support them" but is called the Cod father and posts daily Cod clickbait videos 😂 actual crackhead lol, go look at his new videos ppl in his comments are saying "fortmite has bots so cod must have bots too" 😂 some deluded community, first its "I cant get kills because of SBMM" now its "I can't get kills because the players arent real" 😂😂
Got to consider, Ace gets flown out by Activision for every season and knows the devs personally. Also, if you notice his views are DROPPING because the game is so ass and since it's his literal livelihood to report on the game, something so damning as AI bots in multiplayer would flip his life upside down. Ace only recently got all this money and attention because of CoD. Without it, he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on. I love the work he does and appreciate the effort put in his videos but you can see from the view count that he's 100% feeling some financial pressure between this year and last year because of how poorly CoD is doing. Ace should put pressure on Activision to address EOMM and even look into comparing reverse boosted vs regular lobbies
Confirmed bots in MW3 based on their patent (!!!) The matchmaking system and method may be leveraged in various contexts as well, such as to influence game-related purchases, recommend a composition of groups of players, train or identify non-player characters (NPCs) that should be used, and/or other contexts. The matchmaking described herein may be used to manage NPCs. For example, the system may be used to select/generate a NPC to fill a gap in a clan or team (e.g., a sniper-style NPC), generate a team or clan of NPCs, analyze NPCs post-game to identify successful NPCs, and/or perform other actions with respect to NPCs. The system may identify a gap in a number of players required for a given gameplay session, such as in a game that requires ten players in a clan, but only nine (or less) human players have joined. In this case, the system may assign one or more NPCs to play along with the human players in the clan. The system may generate potential matches between the human players who have joined and potential NPCs to fill the gaps. The system may score each potential match and select NPCs that are associated with the highest match scores. For example, in a game in which the system has determined that five snipers and five run-and-gunners represent an optimal mix of player roles, the system may select NPCs to fill gaps such that the desire combination of five snipers and five run-and-gunners is achieved to the extent possible (because potential matches having this ratio will have higher match scores). The system may identify one or more NPCs to serve as an opponent to one or more human players. For example, a combination of NPCs having higher match scores where coefficients related to performance are highly weighted may represent a “more difficult” to beat opponent than those with lower match scores. The system may therefore dynamically select NPC opponents based on match scores and an appropriate level of difficulty to be provided to the player (e.g., more skilled players may be presented with NPCs having higher match scores). The system may generate NPC profiles analogous to player profiles. In this manner, the system may analyze NPCs in a manner similar to player analysis. The system may therefore continually improve NPC performance and selection based on NPC profiles, which may take into account NPC logic, strategy, and/or other NPC characteristics.
The existence of a patent isn’t proof of implementation… roughly 95% of patents go unused. It can be used as a piece of supporting evidence but absolutely not as undeniable proof
@@TheXclusiveAce but why would they not use it? Knowing Activision that is not possible. Think about it, if Bots are in the game, and say 2 games you go really bad and get absolutely owned. The third game you get some Bots in the game, because EOMM noticed you got your ass handed to you prior. You go amazingly well, and start to enjoy the game more. After that, that cycle just repeats itself. Why would they not want that system in game when it keeps gamers playing the game, and maybe buy a skin or battlepass cuz thats tue first pop up you get when you boot up CoD these days.
i saw that happen in overwatch before, a streamer i watch reacted to a replay a viewer sent in where the enemy team was doing the same thing, aces explanation helped me realize what the purpose of that was though
Thanks Ace, you bring some really solid points. I think what it is overall is those of us that have been playing the last 15 years remember when this whole experience was fresh, new, exciting, now Activision is more engaged in bringing in a younger, larger demographic, and clearly they have cut many a corner. Rather than tighten the game up. Starting with the 70 dollar price tag, hardly any new weapons, and having MWII weapons included, the older maps are really good, but the glitches, the spawning ect. Is a bit of a bait & switch.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I actually lean more towards the side of "there are no bots in multiplayer". However, regarding "undeniable evidence" #3 you didn't cover the 2nd bit of footage the same player made where he tested the same scenario against an actual bot in a private lobby and the bot performed nearly identical to the "real player".
Having seen those clips, the bot and real player don’t move alike at all. The bot moves with smooth movement, accelerating slower than a real player, as well as looking around smoother/slower, and then literally locking on to the enemy through the wall, and burst firing as to not kill the enemy too quickly. The real player has very stop-start movement, has jerky, imprecise aim, and approaches much closer to the tunnel before attempting to fire, having to see the particle effects first, and then shoots circles around at the floor after he gets a hitmarker. He doesn’t lock on, or burst fire weirdly.
8:16 ive seen something like this in other games before too, an overwatch streamer i watch reacted to a replay where a whole team was behaving in a similar manner (them all walking together and shooting at the same time and everything) so that could be more evidence towards helping prove it's not cod putting bots like that in the game on top of what you said, also i when i originally saw it i had no idea what the purpose of it was so thanks for clearing that up
BT was actually pretty honest about his discovery and de-bunking process if you watched all the full vids. He would addeess previous vids and share where the community pointed him to some debunking info. You did choose to ignore the bot killcam on terminal very closely resembling the real killcam, which is a bit disappointing as I thought that was the most compelling piece of evidence
You can't loosely base a players movement to a bot. My girl moves like a recruit bot. She's a real player. She would probably look just like that if she saw legs through a floor. He did debunk it. You can clearly see legs through that surface. If I'm eating and running out of spawn I'm going to look like a bot. So many situations could've happened but you assume bots? You definitely sound like a BT subscriber. Blindly hating something and trying to find anything to "expose" it.
Even if the player didn't see the legs, that place is such a common wallbang spot. Also there is something called audio. There was gun fire right before he looked up and wallbanged. That's not compelling evidence, but stupidity.
@@HypRWarfAre where was the hate in my comment lmao. Also, in the killcams in BTs vids you cannot see the legs clipping at all. And he also proved that you typically can see limbs clipping through walls in killcams! Im not hating in the slightest, im just interested in the topic and im a bit disappointed that ace seemed to make his decision before actually making the video
@goode.110 His decision was made because what you are insisting is literally wrong😭 An interest in what? The COD devs are secretly adding bots? That's your interest? Atleast go with something cool like the moon landing isn't real or something. This just makes you look stupid💀
Side note, try getting a group of non gamers together and have them do a ffa against each other. It's always one thumb stick or the other followed by pressing the wrong buttons....you can crouch walk around players like this and they don't know your there. We all start at different levels.
Blame Truth went back on multiple occasions of his videos to clarify that he made a mistake and found out the truth of AFK scripts and Bot Camo Lobbies. Since the Devs dont communicate with us,it did seem plausible at the time, but again he went back and explained what really happened and where he went wrong. After watching this video it is clear that you watched his older videos claiming this stuff first before watching all of his videos on the AI Bot matter. Still respect and watch your content though Ace.
He should really be making edits to the old videos then since the title and chapters still claim that they contain “undeniable proof”. The reason I made that video is literally due to all of the people that believed every word of that video and I was linked to those videos as “proof” on multiple occasions. I don’t watch his content on a regular basis so I wasn’t aware he admitted that he -lied- (edit: I'll admit that lied is a strong word choice here but it's deceptive at the very least to leave a video titled and chaptered the way he does when he now knows and admits that it's not undeniable as he claimed) about having undeniable and irrefutable proof of something. The responsible thing for him to do would be to make edits to the title and chapters of the video so anyone that watches it understands that it’s all inaccurate
Man " lied " is a big word. I think he admitted he was wrong about ai bots. But I mean there were bots, just not what he thought they were. I think to lie you have to have intent to decieve. I don't think anyone can prove that.
Yeah… that’s a pretty big jump to have he himself say he made mistakes that he then corrected in subsequent videos versus straight calling the man a liar. Words have meaning, using the right words matter, and even if you think he is wrong, that’s a tall order to just call him a liar. Intent does matter. If it was intentional to deceive, and you could prove it, then call him a liar. But you can’t, so you shouldn’t levy that kind of charge against him. If he said he made a mistake, admitted later to making a mistake, then that isn’t lying. Do better Ace.
@@TheXclusiveAcehave you gone back and changed all the titles on videos you’ve been wrong about? You could start with the lie you told about kill cams that wouldn’t show people clipping through wall when Iv seen multiple kill cams where people are clipping through walls all the way back to cod 4
BT is very reminiscent to the modern day US. Whoever shouts the baseless junk the loudest while also being the fastest wins. Thanks Ace, you are definitely the most reliable part of this community.
The issue is that games are rigged. You win 2 games with 2.0 so the next game puts you with 5 other players that haven't won their last 10 games, don't have any points on objective in their last 10 games, and have below 1.0 K/D... and you're expected to carry everyone and win. 😂 Then they reverse it so you win again to keep you engaged. SBMM is a misnomer because engagement is the main factor, not skill. If their goal is to keep you playing for more seconds, minutes, hours... then rigging games to be as even as possible and use up the maximum amount of play time per game is in your best interest.
@@ArcticGrumpy That's if the casual player can actually get kills against bots. I'm for neither side. I'm just laughing about the logic. People constantly say games are always super close and sweaty. How would that work? It makes no sense. Everybody would settle at their skill level after a while. Having it be consistent across the board would mean that the bots are actually giving people simpler lobbies, which as you mentioned results in them getting sweatier lobbies were they get rekt and it's back to bots. Rinse and repeat. So it shouldn't be super close every single time, but a consistent rotation between dominating and getting wrecked. The way people complain and describe it, there is no balance whatsoever and therefore it doesn't make sense. It can't be both. Either it's balanced or it isn't.
Bless you, Ace. We don't deserve you. Reasonable, thorough, polite, and based on cold, hard facts - you never disappoint. I've been following your channel for years (you and I share a love for Infinite Warfare that seems exceptionally rare in this community), but I think this is my first comment. I had to voice my support, though, because this is exactly the kind of levelheaded approach we need to the profoundly uncritical "thinking" that plagues - and is all too often rewarded by - this community. Ace is the best Call of Duty content creator on RUclips and it's not even close.
@@brawler5760exactly. Saying "oh I don't hate CoD, I just want it to be better." While creating these tin foil hat theories about skill based lag, skill based hit detection, etc. Farming views from everyone who's huffing copium and looking for any excuse to blame the game instead of themselves
The real problem is the lack of communication. If Activision doesn’t want people to draw their own conclusions, they should provide the data we have been asking for, for years. What are the player numbers? Define and explain the current matchmaking system? Explain EOMM? They won’t talk about it. The matchmaking system in place is obviously easily exploited which ruins the experience for us all.
It seems like after bo4 the algorithm was shit. You’d get a quad triply yy no scope and a dude camping with a shotgun in a corner gets one kill gets the pog
Activision focusses more on EOMM (Engagement Optimized Match Making): how many games can you lose/win before giving up on the game at all? They same system that many casinos use. Winning all the time takes away the fun, losing all the time also takes away the fun. Sometimes the game gives you an absurd good match, you’ll feel like a god. Other games you’ll lose because unfortunately other players will have to feel like a god so you’ll be the victim of the god. Other matches you’ll do just fine, not godlike but not slaughtered either. SBMM isn’t that very active as we think it is, sure playing with lower level friends makes the game feels a lot easier, but even than the EOMM kicks in and you will still end up losing after a few matches even when you still play good. It’s just one big algorithm, and once you know how it works, the game doesn’t feel real anymore. All your kill, deaths, wins, losses will feel like the algorithm deciding for you.

@@bobdarrick2628but it’s not sbmm. it’s engagement optimized match making. there’s many factors and much more manipulative. it’s not solely based off skill, even tho it does take that into account. but eomm is not sbmm
@X-Lord_Tuls_A-X__Mr-M well rhapsody how it used to be, o just checked Google, and all old accounts that have unique names don't have the numbers, and all new accounts have numbers regardless .
Cod player already struggle with the concept of not rushing into an open field. What made yall think they can grasp the concept of doing actual research or making a plausible arguement
The nail in the coffin is the simple thought that if they wanted to add AI bots to multiplayer, they would just use recruit/regular/hardened level bots that they already have in game instead of making brand spanking new dumb bots that do nothing but run around spinning in circles or what have you.
Those players behaving that way were clearly just AFK scripts, but people forget that there are players that play similarly to that, especially players that have never played a video game let alone an FPS. I remember during some holiday parties at school when teachers would let us bring games in and play, and when we would play Halo or CoD, half the class would typically be fumbling around like that. Literally like watching a baby try to take its first steps. Then throw in the players that are mentally or physically handicapped. Those groups are exactly the players that I would expect to be in a protected bracket.
Further, they are part of the reason a protected bracket should and does exist. It allows the game to be accessible for first-time players. It also allows players with disabilities to participate in a game or hobby they enjoy.
@MrTWINARMAGEDDON I'm pretty sure they didn't. My first multiplayer CoD was OG MW2 a year or two into its life cycle and the lobbies for my first games were savagely sweaty. It actually drove me away from the franchise until I came back for CoD Ghosts to play with a friend.
I'm not certain if the Activision ID system changes to hashtags when you use a username change token or if you're an older established account holder. As For the Terminal video, I noticed that as well. I looked at it like the previous fight in the area it caused dust to fall, and the person pen'd the floor to get a hit marker.
I wondered if you were the original name holder or if your name was entirely unique if you wouldn't have an ID. My ID is pretty basic, Alpha 2-6 and I have a number attached to mine
Barely had a career to begin with 😂 bro screams "I'm done with Cod, I dont buy any of the new games I dont was anything to do with it" but is called the Cod father and posts clickbait cod videos 😂 SeemsLegit
I dunno i have a lot of oddity circumstances in my games that leas me to believe somethings going on. And i do suspect it. Movements, tracking, the fact you see alot of level 55s aswell is odd to me.
This Video feels quite half baked, especially watching BT's response and even more so after Just watching Trid's latest Video. With all due respect Ace, I watch your videos and definitely a fan of your work, but this comes off passive aggressive towards the end and discrediting it by saying it's a "conspiracy theory" seem very harsh imo
I think that this is what happens when Activision wrecks any sort of trust it has with its own community. It creates breeding grounds for people looking for ANYTHING to explain the EOMM / SBMM and the manipulative way that players have been treated since MW 2019. Instead of being open, honest and straightforward, Activision has clamped down ANY talk of matchmaking which has led to more and more and more people getting frustrated with being lied to and having their matches manipulated. And based on Activision's track record, I bet A LOT of people have no problem in expecting that Activision would stoop that low. We wouldn't put it past them because it sounds EXACTLY like something they would do if it assisted their EOMM system. Your explanations are solid, but with that being said, I would NOT be surprised if they did start doing it to enhanced their already insane EOMM system 😂
There's a lot times where I outscore 2nd place by 3x or more and it's way too often where I kill 2 to 5 with a mag burst. At the same time I get dominated to the point where I get shot by multiple enemies as if they were sentry guns and I get flanked from behind even though I am in places unlikely for it to happen. It seems like the matchmaking swings way too hard in either direction rather than having the usual couple of steps of increasing skill until you get a loss streak thing they have going on I don't know if AI bots are a thing but it's looking unlikely to me. Just my 2¢, I'm sure there are other possibilities too.
That clip on Terminal isn’t that crazy because the player most likely heard the gunfight and could tried to wall bang. I do that all the time and sometimes I do get a kill doing it.
In the Terminal clip you can also see the bullet impacts as well. If you just saw your teammate die there and also see bullet impacts it wouldn’t be unreasonable to try to finish off whatever enemy just killed your teammate.
Explained this on BTs video. The nametag issue is if you had an account with the old cod stats and when they converted that to an Activision account and use the same email it converted the accounts. If you have not changed your name since, you won't have the new format name with the numbers. So if you see a name with no number, that's an OG cod player. That is all. Because of such, I have no number. I am not a bot.
BT has always claimed it's a conspiracy theory and equated it to Alex Jones, you suggesting that it's so serious that he is poisoning the community is lame. There's plenty of algorithmic manipulative garbage in modern COD games, Activision doesn't require anyone else's help in creating toxic attitudes in the player base.
People fail to understand that BT walk a line between a character and being real, I go there for entertainment and because he ain't a cod shell like many are. Somebody has to yell at this shady company that only want money, and give the minimum back. Cod used to be good, but that's when I were young, and that's a long time ago 😂
For the terminal wallbang, there is also clearly audio indicating people are in there and literally smoke/dust clipping through the ground. Guy probably took a lucky spray and ended up getting him. I was doing penetration kills with sniper on hardcore and one game in underpass I knew the general area of a dude and actually wallbanged him like 4x. One of which was not in an obvious line of sight or anything, I just happened to land the shot and it happened to be the same dude again. He went off in chat and had all his friends report. Occasional wallbanging is not an indication of a bot or cheating, it has to be consistent for that. I mean games like CSGO and Valorant have people wallbanging all the time. They are lucky/educated guesses. Idk how someone can know that there are literal actual AI bots that exist, but think that the ones they've apparently implemented in game are as retarded as the anti-afk script or boosting lobby.
Side note on this: I think you shouldn't get hitmarkers through walls; would definitely cut back on people getting a random hitmarker when not aiming at someone and then using that to feel out for more hitmarkers until getting a kill.
@@andreivaldez2929 Idk I think it's fine as is. It's the same as shooting through smoke or a flash or in the dark. Also in my case I was sniping with the KattAMR for the penetration kills challenge on hardcore so it was all OHK. In addition, as a mouse and keyboard player, I can barely see wtf I'm shooting at most of the time in regular situations lol. I am basically using hitmarkers to feel out where an enemy is half the time I am using something with ironsights. Hitmarkers are 100% for determining whether you even hit someone or not in bad visibility and I think that should include wallbangs.
@@Mr.Phoreskin lol bootlicker? CoD content is literally Ace’s paycheck through yt, he puts more effort into explaining how stuff in the game operates than any other channel, and he doesn’t scream at the top of his lungs during every video to prove what an adult he is. Ngl his channel would be boring af if he brought up SBMM nearly as often as other youtubers.
"There's a service that uses anti-kick, A.F.K. scripts services." That's literal definition of a bot. It may not be the developer but it doesn't change that there are bots with this very bad (algorithm) that trying to setup it up for you the player to play longer in hopes to create a new community. You are saying it your self that there are bots. Ok not by t;he developing team but by someone. They are thriving because of the (algorithm) that C.O.D. developers created. But I'm glad that someone with platforms like you (Xclusive Ace) and COD Truth are trying to get the attention of the developers to at least address the issue. My hope is they (C.O.D. Team) tear down the politics and make good decesions that will make the game fun.
Its nice to see some level headed objective takes on these issues. There is a really unhinged side of the community (Blame Truth CodFather) that just go in 200% on every conspiracy and triple down on the hate, yet still buy the game every year and play it for hundreds of hours. I really can't stand the "professional critics" whos only job is to get angry and shit on stuff. I'm not saying COD is perfect but I've actually been really enjoying this COD. It doesn't deserve all the hate.
BT doesn’t play for 100+ hours he will eventually pay some other loser who will play the game to get gameplay for his videos. He only buys them to try them and will tell his audience if the game is good or not and surprise surprise the game fucking blows
@@tastefullys”Tells the audience if the game is good or not” let’s be 250% real here. He has already made up his mind if the game is good or not before the first trailer even releases. As Ace said controversy and in synchrony toxicity/negativity sell.
I can say with certainty that if there are bots in multiplayer activision would never admit it just like with SBMM, one thing I do find interesting though is in the terminal wall bang section I watched BTs vid about it and he shows where the player goes into a private bot lobby and one of the bots do the exact same thing could be the player model going through the floor and the kill cam not showing it but still interesting nonetheless
Hey Exclusive. Thanks for the content covering this type of thing. Since you did something like this, might I request that you discuss Infinity Ward taking over the game (if they even did). Also, if they did take over, what does that mean for the game and what should we watch out for in future updates?
they definitely didnt take over lol, thats just a conspiracy BT spreads. SHG is still working on the game since thats their job as the studio, infinity ward and SHG are equal under activision
I’m a bit sick of sensationalist call of duty RUclipsrs. Their content exploits outrage culture, their videos are more popular than constructive content, and it’s a shame that so many take everything said in their videos at face value.
I've watched a fair few of BT's videos recently as his distaste for what Activision is doing has been really resonating, but the bot theories have all been too easily explained. I think there are a whole host of reasons why Activision would want bots in the game, and they may well be in already, but I don't think they'd be easy to spot at all.
I don't play MW3, but I do play COD MOBILE, and Activision made CODM. The stuff people have been saying about bots is 100% true in CODM. The kills cams give proof that they're bots. They track you through walls, 1-2 bullets in the feet can kill, after they kill you they turn right around in a stiff way that doesn't seem normal and lastly, they walk facing a crazy direction like they're locked on to a player or walk sideways. Also, after a match, I will check to see if I can see the players' gamertag that I just played with, and almost 90% of the time, they're gamertag is not there. I can see out of all of my matches who I played with. So I will remember a gamertag and try to find it but it won't be there. So it seems bots have gamertags but you can't find them after a match. You would be surprised to see how many disappear.
I personally see Activision usingAI Bots for some players. If you have players that are absolutely terrible at the game. But willing to spend money on micro transactions. You place a group of the on a team to play against a team of bots that can’t win. Keeping them playing and paying. Calculating and retention of bad players for the money would be something any company would do.
Defending practices by Activision that could very well be plausible by spreading misinformation about another RUclipsr is not it Ace, especially when he basically acknowledges that it could all just be a coincidence. But you happened to leave that part out. Disappointed to say the least. Usually you're really good with researching and presenting valid up-to-date information
The problem is that Activision are manipulative and so closed lip on everything that these conspiracy theories pop up. Literally anything is possible with them.
I don't believe there are bots but I personally think BT (blametruth) and Ace are the two sides of the same coin one more negative and one more positive / progressive I think you need both imo , Ace claims to be critical of the cod franchise but no where to the level of what is necessary. Blametruth gets carried away with wild narratives. Activision and the developers though have shown incompetence and ignorance regarding issues with cod for years though , in short without listing the many problems , cod collective teams have become untrustworthy, unreliable and wild decisions don't seem to far out of reach, sbmm statements and acknowledgement doesn't come with out constant awareness being uploaded and talked about everyday , even if you have to add ai bots flavour to it , the main take away is the experience isn't organic and it needs to be changed. Videos being made about other content creators shouldn't be the aim instead more opinions about the game need to be talked about .
Yeah people fail to understand that Ace can't do what BT does, the second he do Activision would ban him from the events and the hand picked players they have. While Ace is a good guy, he is also a cod shell defending a little bit too much about this lazy franchise. I understand everyone wants to make a buck, so I know why, but it is annoying.
@@TasmanianTiger88I think people are trying to read too much into him defending the franchise, maybe he just genuinely enjoys the game, and wants to defend it against baseless claims? He says in almost every single video he makes that he does not agree with how Activision handles things, or many of the design decisions that are made.
@@Adam-pk7go Yes, but in a way he is kinda forced to say that, he must have something negative to say about the game, or else you are probably being paid by Activision or just are a fanboy who never say anything about a franchise that clearly was better before. What I really mean is that with the influence he's got, he should do more. More pressure on the bad things and more pressure on the whole SBMM thing. I used to love this franchise, in a wierd bizarre way I still do to some extent. We all just want to be gamers having fun in our games, but it's not about fun anymore. It's about something more ugly, money.
@@TasmanianTiger88 I think he tempers his positive and negative opinions due to community feedback on his videos. It seems like he feels that he needs to clarify that every time he praises something that it doesn’t mean the game is perfect, and that every time he criticizes something it doesn’t mean he hates it. I’d assume that’d because of all the comments saying one or the other that he gets. I also don’t think he avoids covering issues, just maybe isn’t as verbally harsh on them as the players might want him to be. To his credit, when there are things that he can actually have an effect on (sbmm/eomm and such are completely beyond him), he does put in effort to get them changed. Such as providing valuable spawn feedback, and other gameplay issue testing. This is much more helpful than spending every video ranting about sbmm, as even though it may feel validating for the players, it’s not going to actually lead to anything. Regardless, he talks about the strict matchmaking bitterly in just about every video, and has done multiple videos testing its strengths to provide information to the playerbase. I’m not sure what more you want him to do.
The only thing my mind is made up on is that throughout the evolution of activision and cod, sbmm/eomm has destroyed the fun of playing cod. I used to grind hours on end and have consistent fun playing cod. I would do well more consistently than doing poorly and would hardly ever get stomped. Now however, I get stomped every other game. Every game feels sweaty af.
Technically, if these players are all running scripts to be afk, but "not"...are these not bots? Still would actually love to see you 2 have a chat about cod like he has with other creators
So I've seen what looks like bots in the warzone/plunder game mode. We were wondering if it could be bots. Thank you for giving us some actual information. I don't know if anyone else has this issue but I can't see the event tab at all, I've tried to restart my system and no luck.
U just admitted that u have a relationship with Activision when u said I tell the devs why should normal players take ur word when u r bought and paid for. U didn't mention the bots/players who come in and destroy a lobby and the leave seconds before the match ends. Activision should know of all these hacking and afk scripts and lobbys that u talk of cause if u know for sure they do to and what have they done to fix or stop it. It feels as if maybe u r attacking an enemy of COD
Seeing as you're in contact with the developers, why not ask them if the "Systems and methods for generating improved non-player characters" are implemented into MW3 Core Multiplayer? I don't want to copy paste the whole document because it's not short but here's some really interesting claims brought up in it. "A system adapted to generate data representative of one or more non-player characters (NPCs) in one or more multi-player video games, wherein the system has one or more physical processors programmed with programmatic instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, cause the host computer to: track one or more profiles of human players to generate human player data; track game data, wherein the game data is representative of one or more game events or game outcomes; generate data representative of a behavior of the NPCs by applying a neural network or machine learning process to the human player data and game data; and transmit the data representative of the behavior of the NPCs to one or more servers hosting the one or more multi-player video games." "human player data comprises at least one of an average speed, a weapon usage preference, a weapon in inventory, ammo in inventory, a frequency at which a player engaged an enemy at a first distance, a frequency at which a player fires a first shot in an engagement, a duration that a player spent in specific areas of a map of a game, a time to kill for each weapon type at each distance range, movement attributes, a proximity to teammates, a favorite skin, or emotes." "NPC application 120 tracks a single human player over time and NPC modification engine 122, independently, or in association with AI engine 128, generates an NPC to mimic the tracked human player. In some embodiments, the tracked human player is a high performing human player, or ‘star’ player. In other embodiments, NPC application tracks a plurality of human players in order to generate NPCs which share attributes with a large population of human players to provide for more evenly balanced gaming." "In some embodiments, NPCs created in NPC application 120 are styled by NPC profile engine 126 to resemble their corresponding human players in terms of both player profile attributes and gameplay actions such that players may not recognize NPCs as non-human, computer-controlled players." To me all of these are extremely scary and paint a picture of a multiplayer experience where you have no idea who or what you're up against. I understand ACTI and Blizzard have multiple fps and multiplayer games but if they're willing to incorporate this into their other games whose to say it's not in MW3 right now?
I waited on commenting on either video because I don't have the best of memory when I am sober (me and the Bois went hard this weekend for the first time in two years in celebration of one getting married). But I am glad so far that both of my top three CoD Tubers were able to post a respectful video detailing their issues. I'm not saying you will but I'd honestly love for a co-op video of you two talking about the whole thing because I feel like you're the only two in this day and age that could be productive in the discussion. Either way thank you for the respectful response.
So two examples off the top of my head: Whenever my friend disconnects (in Warzone but I'm sure multi as well) his character just keeps running whatever direction he was facing, or sometimes goes in circles. I was in a zombies lobby yesterday with two kids who had to have been under 10 years old from their voices, behaviour, and skill. These players exist.
Played the free trial yesterday and had the easiest first 5 lobbies ever. Immediately started going against speed demons right after tho 😂 dont feel a difference from other CoDs but my experience is obviously very minimal for this entry. I went against some pretty bad players but they did not seem like AI bots
You’re wrong about the airport terminal wall and kill cams. You can see on kill cams when the character model clips through walls. I think it’s time to admit when you’re wrong and stop thinking you’re above other content creators
Okay, my turn. I will start by saying I appreciate your content and the in-depth nature in which it is presented. Your touch is great and delivery is clear. This being stated, I do have some things to state here, as I do watch your content as well as Anthony’s (Blame Truth). While he may have possibly (and I stress ‘possibly’) missed some elements through the course of what he has observed, I believe it’s vitally important to realize the full scope of the instances that have occurred to lead him to his conclusions. I’m quite sure his investigative technique is vastly different from yours. What I’m trying to convey here is, why should we have to exercise investigative technique to begin with here? Isn’t Activision / IW, along with all their subsidiary partners involved with this franchise’s development a well-staffed, multi-billion dollar corporation? I think we could all agree that to be correct. Given that component, it’s not unreasonable to us as players to expect more and coupled with that, to expect a MUCH more-polished product delivery upon launch. That comes in tandem with the players that hemorrhaged copious amounts of money for this game to harbor the expectation that they should not have to don detective apparel and dissect every shortcoming of what is a revenue-generating cash cow on it’s last legs that bleeds players at an alarming rate and attempts to spam and gouge the players on which it depends for it’s own survival out of even more money. Is it unreasonable to expect that bots are in this game to steer the experience in the direction on tighter matches to coerce players into continuing? Not at all. Activision is a proven shady developer that is money-motivated and places the core player experience a distant second to their loyal (albeit diminishing) player base in favor of pools of cash for cosmetics, and some other elements that could be easily interpreted as ‘pay-to-win’ offerings…a wholly unsavory business practice in the eyes of long-tenured gamers. Combine this with their ’rush to completion at all costs’ development schedule in lieu of a focus on overall quality and their driving interest becomes very opaque. Perhaps a bit of exploration is in order here. Let’s both be completely honest…would it REALLY surprise us if all the strange things were actually nefarious in nature? No disrespect intended, but the expectation for someone to willingly, much less have the time, insight, and resources to examine this game on the molecular level is ludicrous. After all, what gamers regularly do this…or better yet, feel the need to do-so? On the other hand, if these are truly mysterious coincidences, does that make this excusable? Sure…for a $10 indie-developed game or a beta, which this over-priced expansion package is not. Have a great day. Looking forward to more videos soon! 😊
i am so glad someone with an audience and trust worthy history covered this. that dude is like COD alex jones grifting the fuck out of stupid people and children and degrading COD discussion to negative IQ fallacies and anecdotes.
Do you wanna know what is actually fishy, Ace? Activision. For the last 5 years and specially during MWII. The game behaves weirdly and Activision doesn't explain the weird things that happen to it. There is no honest communication coming from Activision. For years they didn't even acknowledge SBMM. So, we are allowed to think whatever we want and come up with our own conclusions since no one can prove anything (including yourself with all the claims in this video) The same way you call other people fishy for not having proof, I can say you're being fishy in your claims because you also don't have proof that what you've said on this video is the explanation for those clips 🙂
Of course people are entitled to think whatever they want to think and I've never claimed otherwise. My entire issue is claiming that you have undeniable or irrefutable proof of something when that "proof" is very far from undeniable or irrefutable. I wouldn't have made this video if he simply claimed that he had a theory and presented the evidence to support his theory. By claiming it as undeniable, he convinced a lot of gullible people to believe that it's an undeniable fact that Activision added Bots to the game and it got frustrating to try to explain to all of them that the evidence it quite weak and nowhere close to undeniable. I'm not sure how my claims are fishy when all I'm claiming is his irrefutable proof has a lot of holes in it and it's far from irrefutable when there are plenty of potential explanations that make a lot more sense than the conclusions he jumped to. I'm not claiming with any certainty whatsoever that there aren't Bots in MP, I simply haven't seen any sufficiently convincing evidence that it's the case and I have a hard time taking anything someone says seriously when several of their undeniable claims are easily deniable.
@@TheXclusiveAce The thing is Ace, you come off as petty. Not actual debunking, just a circus really. I don't know what the point of this video was besides you having some personal issue with BlameTruth, or you're trying to shift into the Dramatube sphere due to low mw3 view counts lol Not to mention you're now claiming he is "lying" outright about something that he's corrected himself on publicly prior. You understand you've got things wrong numerous times right? so by your logic that makes you a blatant liar right? No, it doesn't. Very very disappointing Ace, comes off as more of a hitpeace that an actual "debunking" video. Gotta unsub brother this discourse is the opposite of productive.
@@TheXclusiveAce Ok. I understand your point, Ace. But, I don't think we can call other people fishy when no one can say for sure what is actually going on. I don't believe there are Activision's bots in the MP, but I don't blame who thinks the opposite because of Activision's past behaviors. During MWII I was a 100% convinced that there was Skill Based Hit Detection in the game. I have many weird clips recorded and would have posted them on my RUclips channel claiming I had proof if I had the time to make videos and the audience to hear me out. But, now I think it was because of terrible servers. I wasn't being fishy and I don't believe Blame Truth is being fishy. Also, I don't think your claims are fishy when you're pointing out other explanations for the clips ( I actually agree more with your explanations than his ). I just gave you an example that when no one can prove anything, people shouldn't be called fishy for expressing their theories even if they seem to be wrong or gone crazy with it. Otherwise we can call anyone fishy. No one (between you and Blame Truth) is being fishy in this situation and Activision could make things clear if they wanted to. So, they are the ones that should be questioned regarding all of the theories and explain them. Because I really believe they are the ones being fishy for a long time now and only they can prove something here.. I enjoy your content, bro. I'm not a hater. I just don't think it was fair to call him fishy Thanks for taking the time to reply my comment
Ace made a great video and most of made sense. One thing I would like to point out though. Is since the player base has been talking about / complaining about sbmm/ eomm, Ace went from saying that is was completely false and not in the game to over the years agreeing something is going on. His video library is proof. The OG players just know when something is wrong and things are not right in the game from their experience. We all know something is not right and we all know things have been getting worse over time. I dont blame Ace for not digging into this like he should because this is his job and he likes being invited to Activisons headquarters every year. But we also need guys like Blametruth to keep fighting for the truth.
All testing before mw2019 showed little to no SBMM in all of the games I tested (aw wasn’t one of them). Once mw2019 came out, something clearly seemed to have changed and mine and Drift0r testing showed that it did. Since then, I’ve been very outspoken against it with data to back it up
@@TheXclusiveAce "YOUR" testing. Which is literally the best we have since no one is willing to do what you do for us. And I'm extremely grateful to you for that but you can't discount what thousands of people are complaining about and saying is there. Someone like the MarkofJ just doesn't leave a lucrative career for no reason. Literally the best of the best with the greatest personality ever and he knew something was wrong like the rest of us. He was just more intelligent than us and left instead of becoming a cry baby like everyone else.
I’m not discounting anything but the evidence itself as it’s super weak and full of holes. As I said, there may be bots in pubs but I just haven’t seen any evidence that holds up to any scrutiny.
@@TheXclusiveAce its not immediately noticeable to YOUR testing right now. Like in the past. But it is apparent things are not right to the players who have experienced COD since its inception. And not just bots. It's everything. Map design. Objects getting you stuck for no reason. Creating mayhem and taking away 3 lane maps. Taking way lobbies after every match. I do not have to name every singly thing. The developers are ruining the game over monetary gain instead of doing what's right for the people purchasing the game. That is the core of the argument. It's what you always fail to talk about and bring up. edit since I'm at dinner with my family. I appreciate you actually replying to me.
Names without hashtag numbers are the OG mw3 activision account. Back in the days, we were required to create an activision account to join/create the “ELITE” clan (with yellow clantag)
People who don’t have numbers, have an OG Activision name from when it first ever got implemented in crossplay from mw19. If you name change or get your name removed then it will have numbers
Appreciate your effort. #1 - lack of name and ID as proof for bots was a stretch. I accept this debunk #2 - use of anti AFK scripts for BP progression. I accept this debunk #3 - I do not accept this debunk. Sure killcam didn’t show legs through floor, and killcams have never been 100% accurate. But firstly, the behavior in the real clip was odd. Secondly, you may have missed that BT also showed a clip where someone tested the same exact scenario in a private match with LITERAL private match bots, and a bot wall banged him the same exact way that the original killcam did. You did NOT address this, so you didn’t finish your homework here. #4 - use of services for purchased bot lobbies. I accept this debunk #5 - MOST IMPORTANTLY (and I don’t know how you missed this or are unaware of it). Activision filed a patent for an AI system to generate enhanced NPCs to mimic real life players at near indistinguishable levels. Filed in 2019, granted in June of 2023 mere months before MWIII release. This is the most BLATANT hint toward implementation of AI bots and you SOMEHOW missed it. Please look into this.
Love the small details and the way you approach the situation. It’s small nerdy details that I love like how you treated this like a hypothesis test where you never said the null or the base claim is false. You just rejected it in these scenarios leaving it as a possibility in other stuff. Love watching your videos Ace. The game might be a mess but it’s a fun mess imo. Cod hasn’t been this fun in years and used to love BT videos back in vanguard but it just seems over the top now. The community seems like they are fishing for new things when they get stuff they wanted. It’s not perfect as a game but we got most of what we wanted. If we treated the devs like humans maybe we could make it a perfect game, even if it was just 2-3 months of the game cycle. It would be super fun. Also given SHGs track record they always care about the game and community. As we have seen they have been put in the deep end year after year and still manage to make the same game from last year mechanically better and much more enjoyable on the face of it. Idk why there are so many haters to a game which has taken steps in the right direction. Complaining so much and making a game like this unpopular or well popular for the wrong reasons will only promote more shitty games by IW which promote camping and slow play styles rather than BO approach by treyarch or a game like this where SHG try to use their vision and accommodate the community despite their limitations
The "missing" # number after name first started with 2019. If you already had an activision account before 2019 crossplay then you didnt need a hashtag cuz your gamertag was taken and no one else could have your gamer tag. If after crossplay was enabled and you didnt have an activision account then you created one, then you could add whatever name you want. It didnt take into account if your name was taken or not.
4:18 this is the best point. If there's one thing Call of Duty is gonna do, it's recycle EVERYTHING. If they wanted to add bots to multiplayer, you better believe they're gonna use the existing stuff first.
You and WhosImmortal are the only COD RUclipsrs I still watch, you go on RUclips to learn something new about the game and all you find is hate rant videos, it's depressing and not even constructive criticism, some RUclipsrs just milk the hate rant vids to the point I can't be bothered to watch their content anymore personally I like MW3 but everybody else tries to convince you not too
Thank you for making this, Ace. When I first heard these claims, I thought it sounded completely bogus. Then about a week ago I played a game on Rust with two players moving around in a very non-sensical and automated way and it made me seriously question if I was wrong to so quickly dismiss those bot claims, but after seeing your video I'm 100% convinced what I saw was two players running AFK scripts. It didn't look anything like the AI bots in private matches or Zombies, so I figured something else was going on, but it was still eyebrow raising to witness.
Yeah even for Activision the claim is absurd. There was a leak from Vanguard I believe about bots being in protected brackets, so even if it was true there's no point acting like this is some special dirt on the company. Blame Truth took this one a little... Actually no, he took this way, way too far.
Can we Justo take a moment ti appreciate actual hardworking creators like Ace who take the time to do their jobs and bring us good honest content. You the man Ace
Blame Truth is a clown - and that's the end of that. SHG are doing an outstanding job. IW ARE AWFUL. Oh wow I wrote this before you actually spoke his name LOL DIDN'T EXPECT THAT. We tried for years and years to get the devs to LISTEN and TRY and do what the community wants, and SHG DO ALL THEY CAN and BT STILL CLOWNS ON THEM - He has zero respect from me. He doesn't want the best COD he wants the most money.
I’m not too familiar with that guy, but from the sounds of it he is just one of those outrage bait RUclipsrs. He found his niche which was complaining about CoD to people that hate CoD and that’s just what his channel is now. He can’t stop regardless of if he believes it or not because he now relies on that audience to pay his bills.
Ace, I don't wanna believe AI are being placed into matches either. However, I have experienced seeing "players" on multiple occasions playing in completely abnormal ways while ignoring the objectives. Sometimes they move but can barely react at all and just die. Other times they're simply afk throughout the match and leave at the very end when the game is lost. Mind you, this is all happening while I'm playing against extreme sweats because of my high win/loss ratio (3.00). The reason it got that high is because I usually play with at least a friend or two. When I play alone or host the match with a couple friends, I get these bot lobbies I'm talking about. Wherein we play good players but get teammates that don't even seem like they're playing the game. This is such a common occurrence that even I started to believe the AI bot theory. Here's my final point: MWIII is the Call of Duty in which I've seen the most people AFK, the most players leave games mid match, and the most difficult to get a new teammate after if you're missing one. A lot of the times the game doesn't even get you a new teammate at all. It's insane how frequent this happens compared to all the other COD's. This coupled with the idea that AI bots might be thrown in the matches of good players to make them lose and it pretty much all makes sense why it's happening.
Blametruth replied and you left out key details that he brings up. Maybe you both should do a video together discussing this topic instead of constant back and forth 'gotcha" videos.
Thank you for tackling this subject up front Ace we appreciate the work you do. One question/observation I have had this year revolves around certain players accounts and maybe you can help to answer this? I have noticed many many times when I check players in my recent lobby that a number of accounts do not show the platform they are using. The icon and type of input device is. Simply just missing….do you have any ideas why this might be? A lot of the time these accounts are to put it politely….questionable….but not always. Sure would be interested if you have an answer to this
>people running bot scripts to not be kicked from game >bots dont exist >people are using a bot script that makes them a bot >bots in multiplayer exist
Terminal Wallbang clip is easy to debunk. 1. The gun doesn’t look silenced. So a red dot will be on the map. 2. They player could have heard the guns shots and looked up and started shooting. People are crazy these days, thinking there’s bots. They’re just as bad as the hacker accusations going around now. Massive split in the community.
Sbmm has gotten so crazy people are forgetting that bad players use to exist. Back in ye olde days you'd always run across one or two bad players here and there, but nowadays they are non existent.
They also forget that they too were bad but we don’t talk about that around them
EOMM, not SBMM. If they had reasonable SBMM in place all lobbies would be even across teams, not having 1 or 2 players on each team dominating every single match. Would love to see a casual playlist that doesn't track stats and matches people based on games played and connection. Would be a lot of fun.

Definitely not Activision bots.
Very different situation
The no #tag at the end of a name thing is the sign of a legacy account, one that was created prior to the release of MW'19 (I'm pretty sure that these accounts might even date as far back as the original MW3 when Call of Duty Elite was a thing). So as long as you have one of these accounts and have never changed your username, you won't have a #tag after your name.

I really find it funny to see that people think a player running in circles is CLEARLY a bot when if you just create a closed match with bots you'd see they even jump shot and corner camp, they're not stupid at all, even on the easiest difficulty

@@Silphwaveyour critical thinking skills mostly
@silphwave9907 well, for example, there are a significant number of players who are boycotting MW3 because it was rumored to have originally been planned as an expansion to MW2 at one point in its development. Whether or not it was is irrelevant. We ended up getting a full sequels worth of content aside from campaign, and MP is incorporating more community feedback that it's the most fun it's been in years. However, because these players aren't buying the game, Activision will interpret the sales of the game as "when we listen to the community and make MP a fun throwback to pre-MW19 days, it doesn't sell," and they will go back to ignoring community feedback, delivering even more games that the core fanbase doesn't like or enjoy. It's not "endangering" someone (maybe the jobs of some SHG devs and management), but it's endangering the chances of us getting more good CoD games.

As an Ai bot, I see this as an absolute win.
Got to consider, Ace gets flown out by Activision for every season and knows the devs personally. Also, if you notice his views are DROPPING because the game is so ass and since it's his literal livelihood to report on the game, something so damning as AI bots in multiplayer would flip his life upside down. Ace only recently got all this money and attention because of CoD. Without it, he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on. I love the work he does and appreciate the effort put in his videos but you can see from the view count that he's 100% feeling some financial pressure between this year and last year because of how poorly CoD is doing. Ace should put pressure on Activision to address EOMM and even look into comparing reverse boosted vs regular lobbies
@@kheaven Ace is pretty critical of COD quite often. I wouldn't say he's shilling
Confirmed bots in MW3 based on their patent (!!!)
The matchmaking system and method may be leveraged in various contexts as well, such as to influence game-related purchases, recommend a composition of groups of players, train or identify non-player characters (NPCs) that should be used, and/or other contexts.
The matchmaking described herein may be used to manage NPCs. For example, the system may be used to select/generate a NPC to fill a gap in a clan or team (e.g., a sniper-style NPC), generate a team or clan of NPCs, analyze NPCs post-game to identify successful NPCs, and/or perform other actions with respect to NPCs.
The system may identify a gap in a number of players required for a given gameplay session, such as in a game that requires ten players in a clan, but only nine (or less) human players have joined. In this case, the system may assign one or more NPCs to play along with the human players in the clan. The system may generate potential matches between the human players who have joined and potential NPCs to fill the gaps.
The system may score each potential match and select NPCs that are associated with the highest match scores. For example, in a game in which the system has determined that five snipers and five run-and-gunners represent an optimal mix of player roles, the system may select NPCs to fill gaps such that the desire combination of five snipers and five run-and-gunners is achieved to the extent possible (because potential matches having this ratio will have higher match scores).
The system may identify one or more NPCs to serve as an opponent to one or more human players. For example, a combination of NPCs having higher match scores where coefficients related to performance are highly weighted may represent a “more difficult” to beat opponent than those with lower match scores.
The system may therefore dynamically select NPC opponents based on match scores and an appropriate level of difficulty to be provided to the player (e.g., more skilled players may be presented with NPCs having higher match scores).
The system may generate NPC profiles analogous to player profiles. In this manner, the system may analyze NPCs in a manner similar to player analysis.
The system may therefore continually improve NPC performance and selection based on NPC profiles, which may take into account NPC logic, strategy, and/or other NPC characteristics.
The existence of a patent isn’t proof of implementation… roughly 95% of patents go unused. It can be used as a piece of supporting evidence but absolutely not as undeniable proof
@@TheXclusiveAce but why would they not use it? Knowing Activision that is not possible. Think about it, if Bots are in the game, and say 2 games you go really bad and get absolutely owned. The third game you get some Bots in the game, because EOMM noticed you got your ass handed to you prior. You go amazingly well, and start to enjoy the game more. After that, that cycle just repeats itself. Why would they not want that system in game when it keeps gamers playing the game, and maybe buy a skin or battlepass cuz thats tue first pop up you get when you boot up CoD these days.
Never actually seen one of those bot services lobbies. That's actually insane. To see the teammates move in sync was kinda creepy lol
i saw that happen in overwatch before, a streamer i watch reacted to a replay a viewer sent in where the enemy team was doing the same thing, aces explanation helped me realize what the purpose of that was though
That’s cuz BlameTruth uses those services and makes content
@@bkaChunk Blame truth doesn't use those services, he just reverse boost.
Thanks Ace, you bring some really solid points.
I think what it is overall is those of us that have been playing the last 15 years remember when this whole experience was fresh, new, exciting, now Activision is more engaged in bringing in a younger, larger demographic, and clearly they have cut many a corner. Rather than tighten the game up. Starting with the 70 dollar price tag, hardly any new weapons, and having MWII weapons included, the older maps are really good, but the glitches, the spawning ect.
Is a bit of a bait & switch.
@@Mark-MTZhardly any new weapons? Dude we got like 2x the guns
I'm not saying you're wrong, I actually lean more towards the side of "there are no bots in multiplayer". However, regarding "undeniable evidence" #3 you didn't cover the 2nd bit of footage the same player made where he tested the same scenario against an actual bot in a private lobby and the bot performed nearly identical to the "real player".
Ace was a little picky with the clips he chose to show ngl
Having seen those clips, the bot and real player don’t move alike at all. The bot moves with smooth movement, accelerating slower than a real player, as well as looking around smoother/slower, and then literally locking on to the enemy through the wall, and burst firing as to not kill the enemy too quickly. The real player has very stop-start movement, has jerky, imprecise aim, and approaches much closer to the tunnel before attempting to fire, having to see the particle effects first, and then shoots circles around at the floor after he gets a hitmarker. He doesn’t lock on, or burst fire weirdly.
8:16 ive seen something like this in other games before too, an overwatch streamer i watch reacted to a replay where a whole team was behaving in a similar manner (them all walking together and shooting at the same time and everything) so that could be more evidence towards helping prove it's not cod putting bots like that in the game on top of what you said, also i when i originally saw it i had no idea what the purpose of it was so thanks for clearing that up
yeah that flats video was funny
Do you have a link for that overwatch video?
@@Zerch414 look up flats "i spectated a cheater who controlled the entire team" it's the second replay he watches in the video
@spadefish Aight thanks dude
BT was actually pretty honest about his discovery and de-bunking process if you watched all the full vids. He would addeess previous vids and share where the community pointed him to some debunking info. You did choose to ignore the bot killcam on terminal very closely resembling the real killcam, which is a bit disappointing as I thought that was the most compelling piece of evidence
You can't loosely base a players movement to a bot. My girl moves like a recruit bot. She's a real player. She would probably look just like that if she saw legs through a floor. He did debunk it. You can clearly see legs through that surface. If I'm eating and running out of spawn I'm going to look like a bot. So many situations could've happened but you assume bots? You definitely sound like a BT subscriber. Blindly hating something and trying to find anything to "expose" it.
Even if the player didn't see the legs, that place is such a common wallbang spot. Also there is something called audio. There was gun fire right before he looked up and wallbanged. That's not compelling evidence, but stupidity.
@@HypRWarfAreyour girl need to get better
@@HypRWarfAre where was the hate in my comment lmao. Also, in the killcams in BTs vids you cannot see the legs clipping at all. And he also proved that you typically can see limbs clipping through walls in killcams! Im not hating in the slightest, im just interested in the topic and im a bit disappointed that ace seemed to make his decision before actually making the video
@goode.110 His decision was made because what you are insisting is literally wrong😭 An interest in what? The COD devs are secretly adding bots? That's your interest? Atleast go with something cool like the moon landing isn't real or something. This just makes you look stupid💀
Side note, try getting a group of non gamers together and have them do a ffa against each other.
It's always one thumb stick or the other followed by pressing the wrong buttons....you can crouch walk around players like this and they don't know your there. We all start at different levels.
I tried to play with controller ( never had a console) and my movement looked exactly as you described 😂
Blame Truth went back on multiple occasions of his videos to clarify that he made a mistake and found out the truth of AFK scripts and Bot Camo Lobbies. Since the Devs dont communicate with us,it did seem plausible at the time, but again he went back and explained what really happened and where he went wrong. After watching this video it is clear that you watched his older videos claiming this stuff first before watching all of his videos on the AI Bot matter. Still respect and watch your content though Ace.
He should really be making edits to the old videos then since the title and chapters still claim that they contain “undeniable proof”. The reason I made that video is literally due to all of the people that believed every word of that video and I was linked to those videos as “proof” on multiple occasions. I don’t watch his content on a regular basis so I wasn’t aware he admitted that he -lied- (edit: I'll admit that lied is a strong word choice here but it's deceptive at the very least to leave a video titled and chaptered the way he does when he now knows and admits that it's not undeniable as he claimed) about having undeniable and irrefutable proof of something. The responsible thing for him to do would be to make edits to the title and chapters of the video so anyone that watches it understands that it’s all inaccurate
Man " lied " is a big word. I think he admitted he was wrong about ai bots. But I mean there were bots, just not what he thought they were. I think to lie you have to have intent to decieve. I don't think anyone can prove that.
Yeah… that’s a pretty big jump to have he himself say he made mistakes that he then corrected in subsequent videos versus straight calling the man a liar.
Words have meaning, using the right words matter, and even if you think he is wrong, that’s a tall order to just call him a liar. Intent does matter. If it was intentional to deceive, and you could prove it, then call him a liar. But you can’t, so you shouldn’t levy that kind of charge against him. If he said he made a mistake, admitted later to making a mistake, then that isn’t lying.
Do better Ace.

The only thing that needs to be said is that they used to say the exact same thing about SBMM and that turned out to be true, just remember that
The issue is that games are rigged. You win 2 games with 2.0 so the next game puts you with 5 other players that haven't won their last 10 games, don't have any points on objective in their last 10 games, and have below 1.0 K/D... and you're expected to carry everyone and win. 😂
Then they reverse it so you win again to keep you engaged. SBMM is a misnomer because engagement is the main factor, not skill. If their goal is to keep you playing for more seconds, minutes, hours... then rigging games to be as even as possible and use up the maximum amount of play time per game is in your best interest.
@@kheaven It never works like that for me.
@@IronKnee963Adding bots artificially boosts your kill count, putting you in sweatier lobbies.
No one doubted Sbmm though. It's coded into the game and easy to prove. Ace himself has been testing it for years.
@@ArcticGrumpy That's if the casual player can actually get kills against bots.
I'm for neither side. I'm just laughing about the logic. People constantly say games are always super close and sweaty. How would that work? It makes no sense. Everybody would settle at their skill level after a while. Having it be consistent across the board would mean that the bots are actually giving people simpler lobbies, which as you mentioned results in them getting sweatier lobbies were they get rekt and it's back to bots. Rinse and repeat. So it shouldn't be super close every single time, but a consistent rotation between dominating and getting wrecked.
The way people complain and describe it, there is no balance whatsoever and therefore it doesn't make sense. It can't be both. Either it's balanced or it isn't.
Bless you, Ace. We don't deserve you. Reasonable, thorough, polite, and based on cold, hard facts - you never disappoint.

🤣🤣🤦♂️🤡
Xclusive ace could have easily jumped on the bandwagon of COD sucks but he doesnt.
The real problem is the lack of communication. If Activision doesn’t want people to draw their own conclusions, they should provide the data we have been asking for, for years. What are the player numbers? Define and explain the current matchmaking system? Explain EOMM? They won’t talk about it. The matchmaking system in place is obviously easily exploited which ruins the experience for us all.
I miss the kill cams that would show triple kills or quad kills etc. Rather than just the final kill over and over.
Play of the Game or PoG. I like final kills especially for S&D content.
It seems like after bo4 the algorithm was shit. You’d get a quad triply yy no scope and a dude camping with a shotgun in a corner gets one kill gets the pog
Activision focusses more on EOMM (Engagement Optimized Match Making): how many games can you lose/win before giving up on the game at all? They same system that many casinos use.
Winning all the time takes away the fun, losing all the time also takes away the fun.
Sometimes the game gives you an absurd good match, you’ll feel like a god. Other games you’ll lose because unfortunately other players will have to feel like a god so you’ll be the victim of the god.
Other matches you’ll do just fine, not godlike but not slaughtered either.
SBMM isn’t that very active as we think it is, sure playing with lower level friends makes the game feels a lot easier, but even than the EOMM kicks in and you will still end up losing after a few matches even when you still play good.
It’s just one big algorithm, and once you know how it works, the game doesn’t feel real anymore.
All your kill, deaths, wins, losses will feel like the algorithm deciding for you.
You are finally seeing what multiplayer games have always been to some degree. Nowadays it’s more obvious because of all the monetization.
ace prob thinks eomm is a conspiring like he did with sbmm awhile bk lol

not true at all
Sorry Ace, I’m with BT on this one
The only undeniable proof that I can think of is the fact that COD mobile has already has bots in the multiplayer for the last 4 years.
Occam's Razor is real -- the simplest explanation is the easiest explanation. Thanks for debunking yet another conspiracy theory, Ace!
Cod player already struggle with the concept of not rushing into an open field. What made yall think they can grasp the concept of doing actual research or making a plausible arguement
The nail in the coffin is the simple thought that if they wanted to add AI bots to multiplayer, they would just use recruit/regular/hardened level bots that they already have in game instead of making brand spanking new dumb bots that do nothing but run around spinning in circles or what have you.
Both are in the game
I can't believe they stooped this low and added bots.
Those players behaving that way were clearly just AFK scripts, but people forget that there are players that play similarly to that, especially players that have never played a video game let alone an FPS. I remember during some holiday parties at school when teachers would let us bring games in and play, and when we would play Halo or CoD, half the class would typically be fumbling around like that. Literally like watching a baby try to take its first steps. Then throw in the players that are mentally or physically handicapped. Those groups are exactly the players that I would expect to be in a protected bracket.
Further, they are part of the reason a protected bracket should and does exist. It allows the game to be accessible for first-time players. It also allows players with disabilities to participate in a game or hobby they enjoy.
@@cipherpacthose players always had their own bracket if I recall correctly
@MrTWINARMAGEDDON I'm pretty sure they didn't. My first multiplayer CoD was OG MW2 a year or two into its life cycle and the lobbies for my first games were savagely sweaty. It actually drove me away from the franchise until I came back for CoD Ghosts to play with a friend.
I'm not certain if the Activision ID system changes to hashtags when you use a username change token or if you're an older established account holder. As For the Terminal video, I noticed that as well. I looked at it like the previous fight in the area it caused dust to fall, and the person pen'd the floor to get a hit marker.
I wondered if you were the original name holder or if your name was entirely unique if you wouldn't have an ID. My ID is pretty basic, Alpha 2-6 and I have a number attached to mine
Talk about top 10 career enders, Ace did not hold back on this tomfoolery.
Barely had a career to begin with 😂 bro screams "I'm done with Cod, I dont buy any of the new games I dont was anything to do with it" but is called the Cod father and posts clickbait cod videos 😂 SeemsLegit
I dunno i have a lot of oddity circumstances in my games that leas me to believe somethings going on. And i do suspect it. Movements, tracking, the fact you see alot of level 55s aswell is odd to me.
This Video feels quite half baked, especially watching BT's response and even more so after Just watching Trid's latest Video.
With all due respect Ace, I watch your videos and definitely a fan of your work, but this comes off passive aggressive towards the end and discrediting it by saying it's a "conspiracy theory" seem very harsh imo
I think that this is what happens when Activision wrecks any sort of trust it has with its own community. It creates breeding grounds for people looking for ANYTHING to explain the EOMM / SBMM and the manipulative way that players have been treated since MW 2019. Instead of being open, honest and straightforward, Activision has clamped down ANY talk of matchmaking which has led to more and more and more people getting frustrated with being lied to and having their matches manipulated. And based on Activision's track record, I bet A LOT of people have no problem in expecting that Activision would stoop that low. We wouldn't put it past them because it sounds EXACTLY like something they would do if it assisted their EOMM system. Your explanations are solid, but with that being said, I would NOT be surprised if they did start doing it to enhanced their already insane EOMM system 😂
Well said!
Wait you’re telling me the clickbait RUclipsrs lied?
Technically, these anti-kick scripts are turning regular players into AI bots
I found one back in MW2019; abused the guy to grind headshot challenges for a match lol.
I think this is the answer too. People are afk botting so that when they come back from work/school to actually play, they get free lobbies
‘Tis a more logical conclusion than “hurr durr Activision made AI bots to do this”
Yes, but it's not Activision's AI bots which is what blame truth is saying.
not ACTIVISION bots though
There's a lot times where I outscore 2nd place by 3x or more and it's way too often where I kill 2 to 5 with a mag burst. At the same time I get dominated to the point where I get shot by multiple enemies as if they were sentry guns and I get flanked from behind even though I am in places unlikely for it to happen. It seems like the matchmaking swings way too hard in either direction rather than having the usual couple of steps of increasing skill until you get a loss streak thing they have going on I don't know if AI bots are a thing but it's looking unlikely to me. Just my 2¢, I'm sure there are other possibilities too.
That clip on Terminal isn’t that crazy because the player most likely heard the gunfight and could tried to wall bang. I do that all the time and sometimes I do get a kill doing it.
Or even a dot on the mini map showing up
@@ihackedurgf Or even just seeing the dust show up and shooting at it.
@@kdog350Exactly, that was my first thought. That dust was very visible and the player had a good 3 seconds of staring at it
Wow a mind reader
In the Terminal clip you can also see the bullet impacts as well. If you just saw your teammate die there and also see bullet impacts it wouldn’t be unreasonable to try to finish off whatever enemy just killed your teammate.
Explained this on BTs video. The nametag issue is if you had an account with the old cod stats and when they converted that to an Activision account and use the same email it converted the accounts. If you have not changed your name since, you won't have the new format name with the numbers. So if you see a name with no number, that's an OG cod player. That is all. Because of such, I have no number. I am not a bot.
BT has always claimed it's a conspiracy theory and equated it to Alex Jones, you suggesting that it's so serious that he is poisoning the community is lame. There's plenty of algorithmic manipulative garbage in modern COD games, Activision doesn't require anyone else's help in creating toxic attitudes in the player base.
People fail to understand that BT walk a line between a character and being real, I go there for entertainment and because he ain't a cod shell like many are. Somebody has to yell at this shady company that only want money, and give the minimum back. Cod used to be good, but that's when I were young, and that's a long time ago 😂
Turns out a lot of what Alex Jones has said has become true lol 😅
For the terminal wallbang, there is also clearly audio indicating people are in there and literally smoke/dust clipping through the ground. Guy probably took a lucky spray and ended up getting him. I was doing penetration kills with sniper on hardcore and one game in underpass I knew the general area of a dude and actually wallbanged him like 4x. One of which was not in an obvious line of sight or anything, I just happened to land the shot and it happened to be the same dude again. He went off in chat and had all his friends report. Occasional wallbanging is not an indication of a bot or cheating, it has to be consistent for that. I mean games like CSGO and Valorant have people wallbanging all the time. They are lucky/educated guesses.
Idk how someone can know that there are literal actual AI bots that exist, but think that the ones they've apparently implemented in game are as retarded as the anti-afk script or boosting lobby.
Side note on this: I think you shouldn't get hitmarkers through walls; would definitely cut back on people getting a random hitmarker when not aiming at someone and then using that to feel out for more hitmarkers until getting a kill.
@@andreivaldez2929 I’d say reserve banging through actual walls for marksman and sniper rifles.
@@andreivaldez2929 Idk I think it's fine as is. It's the same as shooting through smoke or a flash or in the dark. Also in my case I was sniping with the KattAMR for the penetration kills challenge on hardcore so it was all OHK.
In addition, as a mouse and keyboard player, I can barely see wtf I'm shooting at most of the time in regular situations lol. I am basically using hitmarkers to feel out where an enemy is half the time I am using something with ironsights. Hitmarkers are 100% for determining whether you even hit someone or not in bad visibility and I think that should include wallbangs.
Ironic that entrepreneurs can create scripts to profit off of reverse boosting before Activision can make an actual statement about SBMM

Ngl his channel would be boring af if he brought up SBMM nearly as often as other youtubers.
"There's a service that uses anti-kick, A.F.K. scripts services." That's literal definition of a bot. It may not be the developer but it doesn't change that there are bots with this very bad (algorithm) that trying to setup it up for you the player to play longer in hopes to create a new community. You are saying it your self that there are bots. Ok not by t;he developing team but by someone. They are thriving because of the (algorithm) that C.O.D. developers created.
But I'm glad that someone with platforms like you (Xclusive Ace) and COD Truth are trying to get the attention of the developers to at least address the issue. My hope is they (C.O.D. Team) tear down the politics and make good decesions that will make the game fun.
"I promise, I'm a real person", sounds exactly like something an AI would say
Its nice to see some level headed objective takes on these issues.

@@tastefullys”Tells the audience if the game is good or not” let’s be 250% real here. He has already made up his mind if the game is good or not before the first trailer even releases. As Ace said controversy and in synchrony toxicity/negativity sell.
I can say with certainty that if there are bots in multiplayer activision would never admit it just like with SBMM, one thing I do find interesting though is in the terminal wall bang section I watched BTs vid about it and he shows where the player goes into a private bot lobby and one of the bots do the exact same thing could be the player model going through the floor and the kill cam not showing it but still interesting nonetheless
Activision has always acknowledged and admired SBMM. Tf are you talking about
Hey Exclusive. Thanks for the content covering this type of thing. Since you did something like this, might I request that you discuss Infinity Ward taking over the game (if they even did). Also, if they did take over, what does that mean for the game and what should we watch out for in future updates?
they definitely didnt take over lol, thats just a conspiracy BT spreads. SHG is still working on the game since thats their job as the studio, infinity ward and SHG are equal under activision

I’m a bit sick of sensationalist call of duty RUclipsrs. Their content exploits outrage culture, their videos are more popular than constructive content, and it’s a shame that so many take everything said in their videos at face value.
I've watched a fair few of BT's videos recently as his distaste for what Activision is doing has been really resonating, but the bot theories have all been too easily explained. I think there are a whole host of reasons why Activision would want bots in the game, and they may well be in already, but I don't think they'd be easy to spot at all.
didnt you say sbmm was fake a couple years ago?
I don't play MW3, but I do play COD MOBILE, and Activision made CODM. The stuff people have been saying about bots is 100% true in CODM. The kills cams give proof that they're bots. They track you through walls, 1-2 bullets in the feet can kill, after they kill you they turn right around in a stiff way that doesn't seem normal and lastly, they walk facing a crazy direction like they're locked on to a player or walk sideways. Also, after a match, I will check to see if I can see the players' gamertag that I just played with, and almost 90% of the time, they're gamertag is not there. I can see out of all of my matches who I played with. So I will remember a gamertag and try to find it but it won't be there. So it seems bots have gamertags but you can't find them after a match. You would be surprised to see how many disappear.
I personally see Activision usingAI Bots for some players. If you have players that are absolutely terrible at the game. But willing to spend money on micro transactions. You place a group of the on a team to play against a team of bots that can’t win. Keeping them playing and paying. Calculating and retention of bad players for the money would be something any company would do.
Defending practices by Activision that could very well be plausible by spreading misinformation about another RUclipsr is not it Ace, especially when he basically acknowledges that it could all just be a coincidence. But you happened to leave that part out. Disappointed to say the least. Usually you're really good with researching and presenting valid up-to-date information
The problem is that Activision are manipulative and so closed lip on everything that these conspiracy theories pop up. Literally anything is possible with them.
I don't believe there are bots but I personally think BT (blametruth) and Ace are the two sides of the same coin one more negative and one more positive / progressive I think you need both imo , Ace claims to be critical of the cod franchise but no where to the level of what is necessary. Blametruth gets carried away with wild narratives. Activision and the developers though have shown incompetence and ignorance regarding issues with cod for years though , in short without listing the many problems , cod collective teams have become untrustworthy, unreliable and wild decisions don't seem to far out of reach, sbmm statements and acknowledgement doesn't come with out constant awareness being uploaded and talked about everyday , even if you have to add ai bots flavour to it , the main take away is the experience isn't organic and it needs to be changed. Videos being made about other content creators shouldn't be the aim instead more opinions about the game need to be talked about .
You nailed it brother
Yeah people fail to understand that Ace can't do what BT does, the second he do Activision would ban him from the events and the hand picked players they have. While Ace is a good guy, he is also a cod shell defending a little bit too much about this lazy franchise. I understand everyone wants to make a buck, so I know why, but it is annoying.
@@TasmanianTiger88I think people are trying to read too much into him defending the franchise, maybe he just genuinely enjoys the game, and wants to defend it against baseless claims? He says in almost every single video he makes that he does not agree with how Activision handles things, or many of the design decisions that are made.
@@Adam-pk7go Yes, but in a way he is kinda forced to say that, he must have something negative to say about the game, or else you are probably being paid by Activision or just are a fanboy who never say anything about a franchise that clearly was better before. What I really mean is that with the influence he's got, he should do more. More pressure on the bad things and more pressure on the whole SBMM thing. I used to love this franchise, in a wierd bizarre way I still do to some extent. We all just want to be gamers having fun in our games, but it's not about fun anymore. It's about something more ugly, money.
@@TasmanianTiger88 I think he tempers his positive and negative opinions due to community feedback on his videos. It seems like he feels that he needs to clarify that every time he praises something that it doesn’t mean the game is perfect, and that every time he criticizes something it doesn’t mean he hates it. I’d assume that’d because of all the comments saying one or the other that he gets. I also don’t think he avoids covering issues, just maybe isn’t as verbally harsh on them as the players might want him to be.
To his credit, when there are things that he can actually have an effect on (sbmm/eomm and such are completely beyond him), he does put in effort to get them changed. Such as providing valuable spawn feedback, and other gameplay issue testing. This is much more helpful than spending every video ranting about sbmm, as even though it may feel validating for the players, it’s not going to actually lead to anything. Regardless, he talks about the strict matchmaking bitterly in just about every video, and has done multiple videos testing its strengths to provide information to the playerbase. I’m not sure what more you want him to do.
For me it doesn’t matter if there are bots or not because every game I play, I get absolutely massacred.
The only thing my mind is made up on is that throughout the evolution of activision and cod, sbmm/eomm has destroyed the fun of playing cod. I used to grind hours on end and have consistent fun playing cod. I would do well more consistently than doing poorly and would hardly ever get stomped. Now however, I get stomped every other game. Every game feels sweaty af.
Technically, if these players are all running scripts to be afk, but "not"...are these not bots?
Still would actually love to see you 2 have a chat about cod like he has with other creators
They’re technically bots, but not ones made by SDG or Activision, just a third party company capitalizing on peoples’ laziness
@@brawler5760 which is better...? Idk what you mean
Yup. They’re literally bots
So I've seen what looks like bots in the warzone/plunder game mode. We were wondering if it could be bots. Thank you for giving us some actual information. I don't know if anyone else has this issue but I can't see the event tab at all, I've tried to restart my system and no luck.
U just admitted that u have a relationship with Activision when u said I tell the devs why should normal players take ur word when u r bought and paid for. U didn't mention the bots/players who come in and destroy a lobby and the leave seconds before the match ends. Activision should know of all these hacking and afk scripts and lobbys that u talk of cause if u know for sure they do to and what have they done to fix or stop it. It feels as if maybe u r attacking an enemy of COD
Seeing as you're in contact with the developers, why not ask them if the "Systems and methods for generating improved non-player characters" are implemented into MW3 Core Multiplayer?
I don't want to copy paste the whole document because it's not short but here's some really interesting claims brought up in it.
"A system adapted to generate data representative of one or more non-player characters (NPCs) in one or more multi-player video games, wherein the system has one or more physical processors programmed with programmatic instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, cause the host computer to: track one or more profiles of human players to generate human player data; track game data, wherein the game data is representative of one or more game events or game outcomes; generate data representative of a behavior of the NPCs by applying a neural network or machine learning process to the human player data and game data; and transmit the data representative of the behavior of the NPCs to one or more servers hosting the one or more multi-player video games."
"human player data comprises at least one of an average speed, a weapon usage preference, a weapon in inventory, ammo in inventory, a frequency at which a player engaged an enemy at a first distance, a frequency at which a player fires a first shot in an engagement, a duration that a player spent in specific areas of a map of a game, a time to kill for each weapon type at each distance range, movement attributes, a proximity to teammates, a favorite skin, or emotes."
"NPC application 120 tracks a single human player over time and NPC modification engine 122, independently, or in association with AI engine 128, generates an NPC to mimic the tracked human player. In some embodiments, the tracked human player is a high performing human player, or ‘star’ player. In other embodiments, NPC application tracks a plurality of human players in order to generate NPCs which share attributes with a large population of human players to provide for more evenly balanced gaming."
"In some embodiments, NPCs created in NPC application 120 are styled by NPC profile engine 126 to resemble their corresponding human players in terms of both player profile attributes and gameplay actions such that players may not recognize NPCs as non-human, computer-controlled players."
To me all of these are extremely scary and paint a picture of a multiplayer experience where you have no idea who or what you're up against. I understand ACTI and Blizzard have multiple fps and multiplayer games but if they're willing to incorporate this into their other games whose to say it's not in MW3 right now?
I waited on commenting on either video because I don't have the best of memory when I am sober (me and the Bois went hard this weekend for the first time in two years in celebration of one getting married). But I am glad so far that both of my top three CoD Tubers were able to post a respectful video detailing their issues. I'm not saying you will but I'd honestly love for a co-op video of you two talking about the whole thing because I feel like you're the only two in this day and age that could be productive in the discussion. Either way thank you for the respectful response.
So two examples off the top of my head: Whenever my friend disconnects (in Warzone but I'm sure multi as well) his character just keeps running whatever direction he was facing, or sometimes goes in circles. I was in a zombies lobby yesterday with two kids who had to have been under 10 years old from their voices, behaviour, and skill. These players exist.
Played the free trial yesterday and had the easiest first 5 lobbies ever. Immediately started going against speed demons right after tho 😂 dont feel a difference from other CoDs but my experience is obviously very minimal for this entry. I went against some pretty bad players but they did not seem like AI bots
Try Hardcore, not to much noobs here
@@SuperCorkingno, just professional campers
You’re wrong about the airport terminal wall and kill cams. You can see on kill cams when the character model clips through walls. I think it’s time to admit when you’re wrong and stop thinking you’re above other content creators
Okay, my turn.
I will start by saying I appreciate your content and the in-depth nature in which it is presented. Your touch is great and delivery is clear.
This being stated, I do have some things to state here, as I do watch your content as well as Anthony’s (Blame Truth). While he may have possibly (and I stress ‘possibly’) missed some elements through the course of what he has observed, I believe it’s vitally important to realize the full scope of the instances that have occurred to lead him to his conclusions.
I’m quite sure his investigative technique is vastly different from yours. What I’m trying to convey here is, why should we have to exercise investigative technique to begin with here? Isn’t Activision / IW, along with all their subsidiary partners involved with this franchise’s development a well-staffed, multi-billion dollar corporation? I think we could all agree that to be correct. Given that component, it’s not unreasonable to us as players to expect more and coupled with that, to expect a MUCH more-polished product delivery upon launch. That comes in tandem with the players that hemorrhaged copious amounts of money for this game to harbor the expectation that they should not have to don detective apparel and dissect every shortcoming of what is a revenue-generating cash cow on it’s last legs that bleeds players at an alarming rate and attempts to spam and gouge the players on which it depends for it’s own survival out of even more money.
Is it unreasonable to expect that bots are in this game to steer the experience in the direction on tighter matches to coerce players into continuing? Not at all. Activision is a proven shady developer that is money-motivated and places the core player experience a distant second to their loyal (albeit diminishing) player base in favor of pools of cash for cosmetics, and some other elements that could be easily interpreted as ‘pay-to-win’ offerings…a wholly unsavory business practice in the eyes of long-tenured gamers. Combine this with their ’rush to completion at all costs’ development schedule in lieu of a focus on overall quality and their driving interest becomes very opaque.
Perhaps a bit of exploration is in order here. Let’s both be completely honest…would it REALLY surprise us if all the strange things were actually nefarious in nature?
No disrespect intended, but the expectation for someone to willingly, much less have the time, insight, and resources to examine this game on the molecular level is ludicrous. After all, what gamers regularly do this…or better yet, feel the need to do-so? On the other hand, if these are truly mysterious coincidences, does that make this excusable?
Sure…for a $10 indie-developed game or a beta, which this over-priced expansion package is not.
Have a great day. Looking forward to more videos soon! 😊
I remember there was a setting somewhere, I think MW2019, that you could set if you wanted to show the #number after your display name or not
i am so glad someone with an audience and trust worthy history covered this. that dude is like COD alex jones grifting the fuck out of stupid people and children and degrading COD discussion to negative IQ fallacies and anecdotes.
Fwiw i think he’s one of those “Alex Jones was right more than he was wrong” types if you know what i mean
He definitely makes his videos like COD WWE. He makes videos for entertainment purposes now.
Trust worthy? lmao
That's literally the point of his videos. I mean he's playing spooky music in the background of the last couple vids for a reason you muppet.
Do you wanna know what is actually fishy, Ace? Activision. For the last 5 years and specially during MWII.
The game behaves weirdly and Activision doesn't explain the weird things that happen to it. There is no honest communication coming from Activision. For years they didn't even acknowledge SBMM. So, we are allowed to think whatever we want and come up with our own conclusions since no one can prove anything (including yourself with all the claims in this video)
The same way you call other people fishy for not having proof, I can say you're being fishy in your claims because you also don't have proof that what you've said on this video is the explanation for those clips 🙂
Of course people are entitled to think whatever they want to think and I've never claimed otherwise. My entire issue is claiming that you have undeniable or irrefutable proof of something when that "proof" is very far from undeniable or irrefutable. I wouldn't have made this video if he simply claimed that he had a theory and presented the evidence to support his theory. By claiming it as undeniable, he convinced a lot of gullible people to believe that it's an undeniable fact that Activision added Bots to the game and it got frustrating to try to explain to all of them that the evidence it quite weak and nowhere close to undeniable.
I'm not sure how my claims are fishy when all I'm claiming is his irrefutable proof has a lot of holes in it and it's far from irrefutable when there are plenty of potential explanations that make a lot more sense than the conclusions he jumped to. I'm not claiming with any certainty whatsoever that there aren't Bots in MP, I simply haven't seen any sufficiently convincing evidence that it's the case and I have a hard time taking anything someone says seriously when several of their undeniable claims are easily deniable.
@@TheXclusiveAce The thing is Ace, you come off as petty.
Not actual debunking, just a circus really.
I don't know what the point of this video was besides you having some personal issue with BlameTruth, or you're trying to shift into the Dramatube sphere due to low mw3 view counts lol
Not to mention you're now claiming he is "lying" outright about something that he's corrected himself on publicly prior.
You understand you've got things wrong numerous times right? so by your logic that makes you a blatant liar right?
No, it doesn't.
Very very disappointing Ace, comes off as more of a hitpeace that an actual "debunking" video.
Gotta unsub brother this discourse is the opposite of productive.
@@TheXclusiveAce Ok. I understand your point, Ace. But, I don't think we can call other people fishy when no one can say for sure what is actually going on.
I don't believe there are Activision's bots in the MP, but I don't blame who thinks the opposite because of Activision's past behaviors.
During MWII I was a 100% convinced that there was Skill Based Hit Detection in the game. I have many weird clips recorded and would have posted them on my RUclips channel claiming I had proof if I had the time to make videos and the audience to hear me out. But, now I think it was because of terrible servers. I wasn't being fishy and I don't believe Blame Truth is being fishy.
Also, I don't think your claims are fishy when you're pointing out other explanations for the clips ( I actually agree more with your explanations than his ). I just gave you an example that when no one can prove anything, people shouldn't be called fishy for expressing their theories even if they seem to be wrong or gone crazy with it. Otherwise we can call anyone fishy.
No one (between you and Blame Truth) is being fishy in this situation and Activision could make things clear if they wanted to. So, they are the ones that should be questioned regarding all of the theories and explain them. Because I really believe they are the ones being fishy for a long time now and only they can prove something here..
I enjoy your content, bro. I'm not a hater. I just don't think it was fair to call him fishy
Thanks for taking the time to reply my comment
Ace made a great video and most of made sense. One thing I would like to point out though. Is since the player base has been talking about / complaining about sbmm/ eomm, Ace went from saying that is was completely false and not in the game to over the years agreeing something is going on. His video library is proof. The OG players just know when something is wrong and things are not right in the game from their experience. We all know something is not right and we all know things have been getting worse over time. I dont blame Ace for not digging into this like he should because this is his job and he likes being invited to Activisons headquarters every year. But we also need guys like Blametruth to keep fighting for the truth.
All testing before mw2019 showed little to no SBMM in all of the games I tested (aw wasn’t one of them). Once mw2019 came out, something clearly seemed to have changed and mine and Drift0r testing showed that it did. Since then, I’ve been very outspoken against it with data to back it up
@@TheXclusiveAce "YOUR" testing. Which is literally the best we have since no one is willing to do what you do for us. And I'm extremely grateful to you for that but you can't discount what thousands of people are complaining about and saying is there. Someone like the MarkofJ just doesn't leave a lucrative career for no reason. Literally the best of the best with the greatest personality ever and he knew something was wrong like the rest of us. He was just more intelligent than us and left instead of becoming a cry baby like everyone else.
I’m not discounting anything but the evidence itself as it’s super weak and full of holes. As I said, there may be bots in pubs but I just haven’t seen any evidence that holds up to any scrutiny.
@@TheXclusiveAce its not immediately noticeable to YOUR testing right now. Like in the past. But it is apparent things are not right to the players who have experienced COD since its inception. And not just bots. It's everything. Map design. Objects getting you stuck for no reason. Creating mayhem and taking away 3 lane maps. Taking way lobbies after every match. I do not have to name every singly thing. The developers are ruining the game over monetary gain instead of doing what's right for the people purchasing the game. That is the core of the argument. It's what you always fail to talk about and bring up.
edit since I'm at dinner with my family. I appreciate you actually replying to me.
Names without hashtag numbers are the OG mw3 activision account. Back in the days, we were required to create an activision account to join/create the “ELITE” clan (with yellow clantag)
People who don’t have numbers, have an OG Activision name from when it first ever got implemented in crossplay from mw19. If you name change or get your name removed then it will have numbers
Appreciate your effort.
#1 - lack of name and ID as proof for bots was a stretch. I accept this debunk
#2 - use of anti AFK scripts for BP progression. I accept this debunk
#3 - I do not accept this debunk. Sure killcam didn’t show legs through floor, and killcams have never been 100% accurate. But firstly, the behavior in the real clip was odd. Secondly, you may have missed that BT also showed a clip where someone tested the same exact scenario in a private match with LITERAL private match bots, and a bot wall banged him the same exact way that the original killcam did. You did NOT address this, so you didn’t finish your homework here.
#4 - use of services for purchased bot lobbies. I accept this debunk
#5 - MOST IMPORTANTLY (and I don’t know how you missed this or are unaware of it). Activision filed a patent for an AI system to generate enhanced NPCs to mimic real life players at near indistinguishable levels. Filed in 2019, granted in June of 2023 mere months before MWIII release. This is the most BLATANT hint toward implementation of AI bots and you SOMEHOW missed it.
Please look into this.
Love the small details and the way you approach the situation. It’s small nerdy details that I love like how you treated this like a hypothesis test where you never said the null or the base claim is false. You just rejected it in these scenarios leaving it as a possibility in other stuff. Love watching your videos Ace. The game might be a mess but it’s a fun mess imo. Cod hasn’t been this fun in years and used to love BT videos back in vanguard but it just seems over the top now. The community seems like they are fishing for new things when they get stuff they wanted. It’s not perfect as a game but we got most of what we wanted. If we treated the devs like humans maybe we could make it a perfect game, even if it was just 2-3 months of the game cycle. It would be super fun. Also given SHGs track record they always care about the game and community. As we have seen they have been put in the deep end year after year and still manage to make the same game from last year mechanically better and much more enjoyable on the face of it. Idk why there are so many haters to a game which has taken steps in the right direction. Complaining so much and making a game like this unpopular or well popular for the wrong reasons will only promote more shitty games by IW which promote camping and slow play styles rather than BO approach by treyarch or a game like this where SHG try to use their vision and accommodate the community despite their limitations
bro.. what?....
The "missing" # number after name first started with 2019. If you already had an activision account before 2019 crossplay then you didnt need a hashtag cuz your gamertag was taken and no one else could have your gamer tag. If after crossplay was enabled and you didnt have an activision account then you created one, then you could add whatever name you want. It didnt take into account if your name was taken or not.
I've had mine long before mw19 and I have a number
4:18 this is the best point. If there's one thing Call of Duty is gonna do, it's recycle EVERYTHING. If they wanted to add bots to multiplayer, you better believe they're gonna use the existing stuff first.
You and WhosImmortal are the only COD RUclipsrs I still watch, you go on RUclips to learn something new about the game and all you find is hate rant videos, it's depressing and not even constructive criticism, some RUclipsrs just milk the hate rant vids to the point I can't be bothered to watch their content anymore personally I like MW3 but everybody else tries to convince you not too
2:10 sounds like something an AI would say
You're reminding me when SpongeBob thought Mr. Krabs was a Robot, ex-de.
Thank you for making this, Ace. When I first heard these claims, I thought it sounded completely bogus. Then about a week ago I played a game on Rust with two players moving around in a very non-sensical and automated way and it made me seriously question if I was wrong to so quickly dismiss those bot claims, but after seeing your video I'm 100% convinced what I saw was two players running AFK scripts. It didn't look anything like the AI bots in private matches or Zombies, so I figured something else was going on, but it was still eyebrow raising to witness.
Yeah even for Activision the claim is absurd. There was a leak from Vanguard I believe about bots being in protected brackets, so even if it was true there's no point acting like this is some special dirt on the company. Blame Truth took this one a little... Actually no, he took this way, way too far.
Read the patents that activison made that states in black in white that they intend on putting bots into multiplayer.
Can we Justo take a moment ti appreciate actual hardworking creators like Ace who take the time to do their jobs and bring us good honest content. You the man Ace
No lol. Cringe. They are getting paid.. why thank them for being rich by playing video games?
You’re one of those streamersimps call of shame refers to. You probably think no streamers cheat 😂
Woah woah woah... you think the Earth is round?
Thank you for making this video, I’ve only seen one of his videos but it was enough to make me ask RUclips to stop suggesting them.
Blame Truth is a clown - and that's the end of that.
SHG are doing an outstanding job.
IW ARE AWFUL.
Oh wow I wrote this before you actually spoke his name LOL DIDN'T EXPECT THAT.
We tried for years and years to get the devs to LISTEN and TRY and do what the community wants, and SHG DO ALL THEY CAN and BT STILL CLOWNS ON THEM - He has zero respect from me. He doesn't want the best COD he wants the most money.
I gave some bad news
I’m not too familiar with that guy, but from the sounds of it he is just one of those outrage bait RUclipsrs. He found his niche which was complaining about CoD to people that hate CoD and that’s just what his channel is now. He can’t stop regardless of if he believes it or not because he now relies on that audience to pay his bills.
Cuck 😂
Ace, I don't wanna believe AI are being placed into matches either. However, I have experienced seeing "players" on multiple occasions playing in completely abnormal ways while ignoring the objectives.
Sometimes they move but can barely react at all and just die. Other times they're simply afk throughout the match and leave at the very end when the game is lost. Mind you, this is all happening while I'm playing against extreme sweats because of my high win/loss ratio (3.00). The reason it got that high is because I usually play with at least a friend or two. When I play alone or host the match with a couple friends, I get these bot lobbies I'm talking about. Wherein we play good players but get teammates that don't even seem like they're playing the game.
This is such a common occurrence that even I started to believe the AI bot theory.
Here's my final point: MWIII is the Call of Duty in which I've seen the most people AFK, the most players leave games mid match, and the most difficult to get a new teammate after if you're missing one. A lot of the times the game doesn't even get you a new teammate at all. It's insane how frequent this happens compared to all the other COD's. This coupled with the idea that AI bots might be thrown in the matches of good players to make them lose and it pretty much all makes sense why it's happening.
Blametruth replied and you left out key details that he brings up. Maybe you both should do a video together discussing this topic instead of constant back and forth 'gotcha" videos.
Exactly what I was thinking 💯
You ain’t wrong Ace, but Anthony ain’t entirely wrong either
My wife and I don't have hashtags after our names. People have asked and we say it pretty simply: we're OGs and have been playing for a long time.
Thank you for tackling this subject up front Ace we appreciate the work you do. One question/observation I have had this year revolves around certain players accounts and maybe you can help to answer this?
I have noticed many many times when I check players in my recent lobby that a number of accounts do not show the platform they are using. The icon and type of input device is. Simply just missing….do you have any ideas why this might be?
A lot of the time these accounts are to put it politely….questionable….but not always. Sure would be interested if you have an answer to this
Saying that essentially making a creepypasta conspiracy about an online shooter is 'dangerous' is a certified Reddit moment.
>people running bot scripts to not be kicked from game
>bots dont exist
>people are using a bot script that makes them a bot
>bots in multiplayer exist
the claim was that activision was adding bots to multiplayer, NOT that players were using scripts
Black Ops 2 had bots in the multiplayer. When a player left the game, the player who left got replaced by a bot.
Terminal Wallbang clip is easy to debunk.
1. The gun doesn’t look silenced. So a red dot will be on the map.
2. They player could have heard the guns shots and looked up and started shooting.
People are crazy these days, thinking there’s bots. They’re just as bad as the hacker accusations going around now. Massive split in the community.
