Treyarch Adds 'Open Moshpit' to Black Ops 7 Beta With Reduced Skill Matchmaking

Treyarch is using the pre-purchase beta to trial looser matchmaking for more varied lobbies.

Overview

Open Moshpit arrives as a separate playlist in the Black Ops 7 beta where skill is drastically reduced or minimally considered during matchmaking.
Both Moshpit and Open Moshpit share the same content, including maps Impring, Cortex, Exposure, and The Forge and modes Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, and Overload.
The playlist is live in the current beta build, which is accessible only to players who pre-purchased the game.
Treyarch’s patch notes say the intent is to produce more varied match experiences and outcomes than traditional SBMM-driven lobbies.
As a beta experiment, the implementation could change before Black Ops 7’s planned November 14 release.
