- Activision says that the recent love for the Black Ops ports has been great to see.
- Black Ops 7 Season 5 will now introduce matchmaking inspired by these games.
- The approach is expected to reduce strict skill sorting and create more varied multiplayer lobbies.
Following the release of the Black Ops ports, Activision is preparing another major matchmaking adjustment for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 after praising the results of its recent multiplayer changes.
Black Ops 7 Season 5 will introduce a classic matchmaking option influenced by two older Call of Duty releases.
Why it matters: Call of Duty’s skill-based matchmaking has remained one of the series’ most controversial systems. A less restrictive alternative could deliver more varied matches while giving Activision valuable data about what players actually prefer.
Activision has spent recent releases experimenting with how strongly skill should influence public matchmaking. Black Ops 7 launched with options that placed less emphasis on skill, giving players an alternative to the tightly controlled experience associated with modern Call of Duty.
Those changes appear to have been successful enough for Activision to expand the experiment. The latest update is inspired directly by Black Ops 1 and 2 on PS5, a game that appears to have been quite popular.
Moreover, Call of Duty’s latest tweet also notes that players still enjoy many parts of these games.
We’re excited to the see the recent love for Black Ops and Black Ops 2.
Recent reports suggested that the Black Ops 2 port has already seen over 5 million players. Over on social media, discussions about the titles have also been largely positive.
Even with the games being over 10 years old, many have found them incredibly fun to play to date. The fact that Activision is once again experimenting with classic matchmaking in Black Ops 7 is further proof that both re-releases have been huge successes.
Interestingly, the upcoming Modern Warfare 4 seems to be drawing player criticism while the community continues to enjoy the original Black Ops titles. Perhaps Activision will use this opportunity to integrate some elements from these games into its upcoming Call of Duty release.
