Call of Duty is currently facing significant challenges, extending beyond just declining player counts (per SteamDB data). Ahead of Black Ops 6's Season 2 launch, developers revealed updates on their ongoing battle against cheaters. Since ranked play debuted in November 2024, over 136,000 accounts have been banned, with continuous improvements to anti-cheat systems.
The development team also announced server configuration upgrades, pledging enhanced connection stability in future matches.
However, these assurances are meeting widespread skepticism. The situation appears dire when top content creators openly doubt official statements, while Reddit threads overflow with reports of unchanged server performance and matchmaking issues.
Community frustration has reached peak levels, with terms like SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) and EOMM (Engagement Optimized Matchmaking) becoming toxic buzzwords among players. This evident trust crisis leaves major questions about Activision's ability (or willingness) to implement meaningful solutions.
