'I Don't Know if There's Perfecting It' — Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Multiplayer Chief Weighs in on Matchmaking
Infinity Ward's Multiplayer boss weighs in on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 matchmaking.
The debate surrounding Call of Duty's matchmaking system has persisted since the inception of multiplayer modes. The main question remains: should matches consist of evenly skilled players, or should skill be disregarded to provide unpredictability? Infinity Ward's Multiplayer Creative Director, Joe Cecot, weighed in on the current state of matchmaking for Modern Warfare 4.
According to Cecot, perfecting matchmaking is not a priority for the team. The primary focus is on creating good matches, considering players' experiences and analyzing data to ensure a positive impact on most players. Though the specifics of matchmaking remain undisclosed, the ultimate goal is for every match to be enjoyable. Despite the introduction of open queue options in previous games, such as Black Ops 7, Modern Warfare 4 does not appear to have this feature at launch.
This omission has left the community uncertain about the presence of open matchmaking and its impact on the player experience.
