When the game was first released, SBMM was mandatory and there was no option to disable it. However, due to popular demand from the COD community since MW 2019, players can now choose from four different playstyles:
Casual – Matches you with casual players.Competitive – Matches you with competitive players.Objective – Matches you with players who prioritize objective completion.High Kills– Matches you with players who prioritize high kill counts.
The ‘Casual’ playstyle is recommended for most players as it offers a balance between fun and challenge. Console players can also try disabling ‘Crossplay’ to avoid being matched with PC players. To disable SBMM, follow these steps:
Step 1: Change Party Settings to Casual
Step 2: Turn off Crossplay (Console only)
That’s it! these settings should ensure that you have non-competitive players in your matches from now on. It’s important to note that while this workaround may have worked in the past, it may not be as effective now as more and more competitive players are using it. However, some users may still find it helpful. It’s recommended that you try it for yourself and see if it improves your matchmaking experience.
