For me, this is still working but not as consistently as it was working before. Some lobbies are full of competitive players while other lobbies have casual players. SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) can be annoying for you if you are a casual player; it can ruin your overall gaming experience as it places you in lobbies with hardcore and competitive players. These players mostly don’t care about having fun. They only like to win the matches. When Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was released, SBMM was forced, and there wasn’t any option to disable it. However, now you can select your playstyle, which will disable SBMM and place you in non-competitive lobbies. Having a functionality to disable SBMM has been a highly requested feature from the COD’s community since MW 2019. Now there is an option to disable SBMM in the ‘Find a party’ settings. There are four different playstyles you can choose from:
Casual – Sets you up with casual players.Competitive – Matches you up with competitive players.Objective – Pairs you up with players whose main goal is objectives completion.High Kills – These lobbies are dedicated to high-kill players.
Try out each playstyle and find what works best for you; for most players, the ‘Casual‘ playstyle would be the most captivating as it provides a balance between fun and challenge. Apart from this playstyle setting, for console players, you can try disabling ‘Crossplay‘ to prevent you from matching up with PC players. To disable SBMM, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Change Party Settings to Casual
First, we will set the party settings to casual. Follow these steps:
Step 2: Turn off Crossplay (Console only)
The second step is to disable the crossplay if you are on the console. That’s it! these settings should ensure that you have non-competitive players in your matches from now on.
