    One of my ideas was to create a hierachy of servers for example

    1st server: low ranked server ban anyone who gets a kd 3.0 or higher making them have to play number 2 server
    2nd server: mid ranked server ban anyone who gets a kd 6.0 or higher etc

    Noobs can have more friendly games, whilst keeping people within their skill set. the above is just an example of a ranked environment.

    Dec I don't wanna call it bringing SBMM to Plutonium, but I do like the idea of players being grouped somewhat by skill level.

      So your plan is some sort of SBMM on Pluto? The player base of BO2 is big compared to other older CoDs, but it’s not that big compared to newer CoDs or other online FPS games.

      So your idea is to avoid tryhards, which means less-skilled players would play against bots and other less-skilled players. If they’re that bad, why don’t they just play against bots?
      If you’re not good, instead of alienating a portion of the gaming community, you should work on improving yourself. That’s how things work in the real world.

        You just explained what ranked does, play better and learn to get up in ranks and play against better people

          The beauty of plutonium servers is the variety of servers, I think someone adding some sbmm servers would give people the extra choice rather than to play the top servers where its just wall bang after wall bang

            Get good or play with bots, that’s how games work. There’s a reason why SBMM doesn’t work well and is disliked in many games where it’s implemented. If you have a K/D between 0.4 and 1.0, playing with bots is basically the same as playing against people at your skill level. Either way, it doesn’t matter much, since most servers are run by admins who don’t have much skill and ban people for no real reason.

              I do wonder how you could distinguish a cheater from someone like her. What kind of research would you have to do to know if she’s cheating or not?

                1. Even though you don't like it 9 out of 10 games have adopted it so it must be working.
                2. Like I said that's the beauty of plutonium, the variety of servers you're not forced to play any said server. If you don't like a server simply put, don't play it.
                3. If it didn't matter to you, you wouldn't of commented in the first place.
                4. One of the good reasons for ranked based match making is filtering out the low skilled players therefore making it easier to moderate the higher ranks for cheaters.

                Let me explain it better, Anyone can play the higher servers even if their kd is below 3.0, you only get banned in the 3.0 kd when you reach over it meaning if you wanted to you could just go straight to playing the higher skilled server, Having a server where low tier players can only play to play casually is a great idea.

                Some people touch grass, work and have friends so something like this would be great imo.

                  SBMM is hated because of how it's implemented, with CoD for example being super aggressive about it putting you in high ping lobbies and making it easy to cheese by intentionally doing bad in one or two games then being matched with noobs you can easily dominate. Nobody complained about Halo 2 having it.

                    1. Yes, especially for Black Ops 7, it’s a great game and very successful.

                    2. It seems that you haven’t considered the fact that the Pluto population is quite low. Look at how many servers there are in the US and Canada, and tell me why only about a third of them are full all the time.

                    It doesn’t really matter, since I’ve been banned before and will probably be banned again. Some random admin might get killed by me and assume I’m cheating.

                    "making it easier to moderate the higher ranks for cheaters"

                    I shared a video, and you still haven’t explained how you would distinguish a cheater from someone like Viscose. She’s just one example, there are many players who can play at that level.

                    And finally, you haven’t taken into consideration things like ping, player population based on server distribution, and geographic location. If people wanted SBMM, they would rather play the newer Call of Duty games, not a 14-year-old one.

                      In most games, it’s mainly used for player retention. I’m not sure how Halo 2 implemented it, but at least looking at the Steam charts for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, having around 2,561 players isn’t a great sign that SBMM is working
