14 DAY TRIAL // Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a huge game at the moment and most of those who engage with it on a day-to-day basis play the multiplayer, which means that the development team at Sledgehammer Games needs to pay constant attention to those who are aiming to exploit the mechanics of the first-person shooter to improve their own performance and try to stop their efforts.
Michael Condrey, the leader of the studio, explains in an official community post that his team has been paying attention to reverse boosting, which involves suicide deaths and has been a source of frustration for players.
He states, “I’ve been randomly matched with players doing this and it’s incredibly frustrating to lose based largely on my team being down a contributing teammate. We’ve also had a lot of players bring up their same concern about playing in matches with these players. No one wants to lose an objective based match by effectively being outnumbered while their teammate shoots grenades into their own forehead 100 times in the corner.”
Bans are being delivered to those using suicide boosting because they ruin the experience of those who play alongside them.
Sledgehammer Games will also continue to make sure that cheaters, classic boosters, and those who use emblems designated as toxic will be eliminated from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in the future.
All players are invited to offer their feedback on the issue and Condrey says that his team will take their opinions into account as the shooter continues to evolve.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will continue to get improved matchmaking
Condrey also states that his team will continue to deliver improvements to the matchmaking of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
The developer explains how the current system works and says that it is mostly similar to previous titles in the series but manages to deliver improved results when it comes to playing time and kill to death ratio.
Sledgehammer Games has long-term plans to continue to improve the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer experience.
On January 27, gamers will be able to get the first major downloadable content pack for the shooter, called Havoc, on the Xbox One and the 360.
There are three other DLCs for the title that will be introduced in 2015, probably about two months apart, each containing new maps and more episodes of Exo Zombies.
