Call of Duty 2021 is reportedly bringing back a controversial feature first introduced, in its current form, with 2019’s Modern warfare and continued with 2020’s Black Ops Cold War and War zoneNo matter what modern CODFISH you play, there is no escaping skill-based matchmaking, also known as SBMM. As the name suggests, skill-based matchmaking matches players with other players with the same skill. The feature’s implementation has been great for newcomers and casual players, but it has also been proven to be the most controversial and divisive the series has created since it first introduced microtransactions.
At this point, Activision hasn’t said much about it Call of Duty 2021, nor has it confirmed how the game handles skill-based matchmaking. That said, while Activision hasn’t approached the topic yet, Duty insider Tom Henderson has passed the message that the game will have “SBMM”, and it sounds like it will be implemented and used as it is implemented and used in both Modern warfare and Black Ops Cold War
Henderson does not say much further about SBMM Call of Duty 2021, nor does he share anything new about the game. That said, a new report emerged this week detailing the game’s title, setting, and more.
Speaking of this report, which claims the game will take place in an alternate World War II that doesn’t end, is when Henderson reveals the bit of information above and may seem to suggest that the game will be far from a standard WW2 shooter, although unclear is whether this suggestion is speculation based on the above report or based on what he has heard.
Either way, take all of this information with a grain of salt. Henderson is a great and reliable resource when it comes to Duty, but it doesn’t change the fact that everything here is unofficial and, more importantly, is subject to change.
Call of Duty 2021, as the name suggests, will be released sometime this year, likely through the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC.
