I also encountered the same situation.

I've been playing a significant amount of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2022) lately, for a good number of hours, and I want to rant a bit.

I intensely dislike SBMM. Skill Based Matchmaking, SBMM, esentially brings you together playing with players who are esentially the same skill level as you. In practice it sounds great, in reality, it breaks up games very often and every single time the lobby is switched, based on your internal rating (Elo rating). Very frustrating overall because it no longer feels like a game, it feels like an eSports competition. Which is a shame, because COD has advanced a lot in the weaponry category, allowing you to customise your weapons quite a lot now. Plus sounds and weapon feel is way more realistic. But man, that SBMM, super ultra annoying and frustrating to play.

And of course microtransactions everywhere.

A couple of months later, with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 - same issues.

I know, you can say that I shouldn't have bought it, but nostalgia was very powerful, seeing all of the original MW2 2009 maps in game. But gah, I really dislike SBMM.
