Modern Warfare 4 Launches Without Open Matchmaking Playlists

After granting players early access to a stellar campaign and a DMZ mode that changes the pace of Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 4 multiplayer has finally arrived. Multiplayer is the main attraction of the franchise’s annual releases, but it has started on the wrong foot. You guessed it, the positive start to Modern Warfare 4 has been dampened by the presence of skill-based matchmaking across all multiplayer modes. Skill-based matchmaking in Call of Duty is a way to set up multiplayer lobbies based on players’ individual skill levels, rather than prioritizing network connection.
