Ahead of Modern Warfare 4's launch, a community petition on Change.org calls on Activision and Infinity Ward to set Open Matchmaking as the default for casual public matches. The petition argues that skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) should be limited to ranked play, reflecting widespread player frustration with SBMM in casual modes. Many players feel SBMM reduces enjoyment by enforcing strict matchmaking constraints, limiting player choice. This petition highlights ongoing debates about matchmaking fairness and player agency in MW4's multiplayer experience.

  • Petition requests SBMM only for ranked matches.
  • Open Matchmaking preferred for casual public games.
