The thing about how CoD Engagement Optimized Matchmaking works is that it isn’t a skill rating match. It looks at your last couple of match performance as well as your ELO. It then decides what lobby to match you on based on how your performance has been; if you are having a string of bad matches, it down-matches you…

It’s not skill based match making.

But the issue at hand is that is doing the opposite of that, right?  MW2 player counts dove pretty hard, faster than they typically do.  When every match is a sweat-fest, it ceases becoming something you do to unwind and therefore you don’t feel like playing it anymore.  Sometimes you just want to play against a team…

I love the game but simply don’t have time to do all the grinding Nintendo expects of me in their already 100+ hour game to get anything good.

I still have the original duplication glitch thanks to auto-updates being turned off.

Man those cops are playing too many violent video games.

I guess he forgot the history of rebellion the French have against their ruling class. He better hope it stays with the current level of violence cause he doesn’t want history repeating itself. 

Exactly! Just like in the french revolution. Tik Tok and Video Games have always been radicalizing society.

Blame-shifting idiot.

“Violence has devastating consequences, and we have zero tolerance for content that promotes or incites hatred or violent behavior”

“since the 1999 Columbine massacre”

Yeah, it couldn’t possibly be because a cop murdered a 17-year-old kid.

Something tells me it has more to do with fairly inexperienced kids and young adults being told of potential raises that never come and not realizing that they’re going to be expected to work like they’re getting paid commission when they aren’t, all while under constant threat. Seems like you just like to complain…

I don’t think it’s that people are surprised by their pay when they get hired.  It’s more that they can’t live with constant inflation without their pay increasing.

Agree - this would be 100% a pass for me if and when I am in the market for a new vehicle.  After living with CarPlay daily for the past 18 months in my new vehicle, there’s no way on earth I’d go back to a manufacturers shitty standalone interface.

is it unreasonable of me to expect this will policy will backfire because people’s lives are integrated with their cell phones or mobile device, and NOT their cars? they see an opportunity to reap short term subscrition based benefits for in car apps an decide to do this? maybe they need more MBA classes

Well I was interested in the new GM EVs.

Oh no! Fuck! I cannot handle that fucking thing. Even during season 1 people kept bringing it up.

People seem to live to be professionally offended these days.

Someone is always going to be offended now. So use Sir or Ma’am and offend someone. Or not use either and offend someone.
