Infinity Ward Evaluates Skill-Based Matchmaking in Call of Duty:

Infinity Ward appears to be taking a careful approach to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's skill-based matchmaking after Black Ops 7.

The developer stated that MW4's skill-based matchmaking will not directly revert to pre-Black Ops 7 and is analyzing data from the previous title to guide its decisions. Despite Black Ops 7's mixed reception, there were aspects fans hoped would remain. Treyarch's adjustments to skill-based matchmaking in Black Ops 7 were well-received, creating more balanced and enjoyable multiplayer experiences.

Infinity Ward seems to be considering Treyarch's approach, signaling a shift towards being more responsive to player feedback. Modern Warfare 4's multiplayer has shown improvements with enhanced gameplay mechanics and the removal of limitations from last-gen consoles, promising a more expansive experience for players.

The game's official reveal on May 28 confirmed its storyline focusing on a conflict between North and South Korea, featuring the return of Captain Price in a new role. Modern Warfare 4 will introduce DMZ extraction mode and exclude last-gen console support for Warzone, with a release date set for October 23 on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
