The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer beta added new playlists recently that only factor in skill “minimally,” and that’s something hardcore fans have wanted for some time. The feedback around these non-SBMM playlists has been pretty positive, and now Activision has said its development teams are “inspired” by the feedback from these tests, and the feedback around the beta so far in general.
The non-SBMM playlists in Black Ops 7 are referred to as “open” playlists. Activision said it will have “some updates to share with everyone in the coming days” about their future in COD going forward.
Many are hoping to see these “open” playlists stick around for launch, and in fact, one report said that is indeed the plan. However, Activision has yet to make any official announcements.
