This has happened in the previous Modern Warfare where a team would get more teammates than the other but still maintained the 12 players cap. Not sure this is the case since I cant see the bottom section of the video too see how many players it has.

By the way, this may be a new playlist or a IW idea that accidentally worked. Its no secret that there are new playlists in the game since that PC gamers discovered game types not available from the start.

Off Topic: S&D is broken in MW2 anyway. Heart Beat sensor and too many spots to hide makes this mode very hard and frustating when trying to plant the bomb. Also, no one does the objectives anymore! Everyone wants to kill, kill, kill, kill... Just look at the amount of players playing TDM versus the other modes.
-Sorry! My rant-

IW should add S&D to Ground War.

Anyways, I remember some COD4 Search and Destroy glitches.

One time, we had to defend the bomb FOUR ROUNDS IN A ROW. Of course our team ended up winning all four rounds because of me and my brother being in the same party.

The most rounds you're ever supposed to defend or attack the bomb in a row is 3. If you win the first 3 rounds, the game is supposed to switch both teams to their opposite objectives respectively.

Its funny because we were so in the zone, to the point where we didn't even notice that we just defended the bomb 4 rounds in a row... until we won that 4th round and the match ended. O_O

Then there was this other time where I joined a Search and Destroy match late in the game. I pressed "Select" to look at which team currently had the most rounds won, but it turned out the other team had already won SEVEN ROUNDS!

Trippy as hell.

Bash on, that's the only way to get them to listen.

that's now days & days people keep bashing, and sadly nothing change.

Just let that crap go and move on

oh yeah cause they were doing that in COD4 be careful of the BANHAMMER from MS

Exactly. It's like getting a large pizza instead of a medium and then complaining! OH NOES! I DIDN'T WANT THE LARGE!

yeah but was this game even tested before release .. ?

What do you mean if this game has been tested before release? Their is really only one real glitch I have seen since I bought this game midnight at launch, and it's the javelin glitch. There has been no REAL gameplay altering glitches. If you think every glitch is going to be detected prior to being released, you're out of your mind. That is why the patch games. Like IW is doing. People are just looking at this game with a microscope and trashing it at the littlest things. This game is excellent and one of the most exciting and addicting experiences I have had this generation.

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
