A Call of Duty Black Ops 7 community post highlights player frustration with a Warzone challenge requiring four kills using heavy melee attacks. Some players report that melee kills do not always register toward challenge progress, causing confusion and extended effort to complete it. Additionally, concerns about skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) persist, with players worried about being placed in highly competitive lobbies after strong performances. These issues reflect ongoing challenges with gameplay mechanics and matchmaking balance as of late September 2026.
- Melee kills sometimes fail to count toward challenge progress.
- Players fear SBMM places them in overly competitive lobbies after good games.
