Call of Duty faces significant challenges, extending beyond simply dwindling player counts (as observed on SteamDB). Ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's second season launch, developers highlighted their ongoing efforts to combat cheating, reporting over 136,000 account suspensions since the November 2024 introduction of ranked mode. Further anti-cheat improvements are promised.
The developers also announced server configuration enhancements aimed at improving connection quality. However, this announcement has been met with skepticism. Leading content creators have publicly questioned the developers' claims, and Reddit discussions reveal widespread player dissatisfaction with perceived lack of improvement in server performance and matchmaking.
Player frustration with Call of Duty is significant, with terms like SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) and EOMM (Engagement Optimized Matchmaking) becoming common criticisms. This erosion of trust is a major concern, and Activision's ability to address the situation remains uncertain.
