the last 3 call of duty games have had a mechanic called "skill based matchmaking"
many of you already know what this is if you've played a ranked game before
but the way that Call of Duty does it is - if you are marked as more skilled by the game then your bullets do less damage to a player who is marked by the engine as "less skilled"
in some cases the engine will generate fake lag to insure that the lesser skilled player beats the higher skilled player
why would they put this in the game?
they are incredibly secretive about it and nobody really knew it existed besides for conspiracy theories until the patents were leaked last year
and it proves the theories to be true, the game actively tries to reduce skill gap down to absolute 0
the ONLY reason I can imagine they'd do this is to train AI
they are removing outliers from the data
Microsoft bought Blizzard/Activision this year, Microsoft is deeply intertwined in military private sector
Microsoft just bought OpenAI
do you see where I'm going with this?
they are literally about to unleah an army of battle bots trained on zoomers killing eachother in call of duty
they use reward tokens in the patent
it's AI
schizo, but plausible
>the ONLY reason is AI
That's the only reason you can think of? Why not just fricking money. Buy the $2.99 sniper scope to pwn newbs. Simple as.
Its to "balance" the match when they cannot fill an entire game with the same ELO and they threw a random higher or lower level to fill up.
Also this
no because using a mouse to shoot a gun is nothing like firing a rifle in an combat zone you fricking tard.
....
it's about target acquisition
why would an AI handle a gun in the same way a human would? you frickin moron
>robots rushing out of the van jumping and spinning like beyblade calling you with homosexual Black person git gud sniping you through walls
My sides.
OP, you're on the right track
now think of how much money gets pumped into the big battle royale games
Fortnite/Apex/pubg is also training AI to handle chaotic combat situations where it's not just 2 sides fighting eachother
fifa has had this for like 10+ years
it was just a rumour but i think it was effectively proven in a leak, the system being called "momentum"
essentially, it tries to retain bad players the same way the cod system does. good players will have worse shooting, defending, goalkeepers etc. at random
they probably are, because they really should
I used to play planetside 2, and there was a rumor that one of the best pilots that was a russian, went to pilot drones on the previous (not current) russo-ukranian conflict
Train it using aimbots
>cod for combat
LOL, lmao, they would use arma or something way more realistic that fricking cod.
Skill based matchmaking exists because bad players don't want to lose every game to sweaty fatties with tens of thousands of hours of play time. Same reason arena shooters died.
Why do morons have to ascribe EVERYTHING to some kind of "because we're evil" conspiracy? Do they have no sense of rational self-interest? Are their lives so vapid and sheltered that they have to conjure bizarre fairy tales to feel like their lives have meaning?
how is this "because we're evil" theory?
this is a logical progression of warfare and a game that offers hundreds of millions of simulated combat environments with real people in very short amounts of time
the sheer amount of data you could gather with specific purpose in mind - "aim, shoot, move" is astounding
CoD is the perfect game to train CQB bots
If you think Call of fricking Duty is in any way useful for military training, you are either low IQ or underage. Its military shit is purely aesthetic.
Call of Duty is basically a game about airsoft. Its applicability to real life warfare is approximately zero
very stupid post
activision are evil and they'd definitely "rig" games for the sake of player retention
No shit sherlock but that has nothing to do with op schizo rambling about ai
maybe I should stop coming to BOT
the more I learn about cs the more I realize this place is moronic
you just don't get it

same company
Blizzard is now MSFT
>the ONLY reason I can imagine they'd do this is to train AI
really?
They want to market the game to a much wide audience rather than a couple dozens of tryhards that dominate every match and put people off
nobody likes to play a game where they always lose and people who don't play don't spend money
This is basically rubber banding AI but for shooter games, lmao
WHEN DID THIS BOARD TURN INTO /X/!?!?!? ITS FRICKING UNUSABLE!!!
