The Call of Duty franchise has been a staple in the gaming community for years, creating countless memories and experiences for its players. With the upcoming release of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7," there is a growing concern among fans regarding the current implementation of Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) and lobby disbanding mechanics.

The reasoning behind SBMM is understandable - it aims to create a balanced playing field for gamers of all skill levels. However, its present state often leads to matches that feel overly competitive, preventing many players from enjoying the game and leading to burnout. By loosening the skill brackets, players will have an opportunity to encounter a more diverse range of opponents, making each game feel fresh and dynamic.

Moreover, the disbanding of lobbies after each match disrupts the developing camaraderie and rivalries that are at the heart of what makes Call of Duty multiplayer so engaging. Allowing lobbies to persist or reform more consistently will cultivate a stronger sense of community, empowering players to enjoy ongoing sessions with new friends and familiar adversaries.

Revising these elements will not only enhance player enjoyment but also reinvigorate the Call of Duty player base, drawing both old veterans and newcomers alike to experience the game as it was always meant to be. We urge Activision to take these steps in making "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7" a shining example of what a next-generation first-person shooter can achieve.
