shadow lobbies

[UsoPayday]

is anyone else noticing queuing in with PC only lobbies? and all of them are using some sort of product. i have yet to play with any console players. and when i would party with my console buddies, i would get kicked from there party.

If you shadowed you only can play in shadow banned lobbies. Most of people who shadowed will be pc players and most likely cheating.

sorry for being so vague. I was trying to ask if shadow lobbies are already implemented in to MW2 multiplayer if thats even a thing. The last 2 CODs if you were shadow ban, you wont be able to get in to a match with console or a pc player thats not shadow banned.

That's ok. Yes there is shadowban in mw2 as well. I heard there people being shadowed even not cheating but just being good because its a new game and they cracking down on people a lot.

Edit: "A shadow ban won't stop you from playing entirely. Instead, you will find yourself in a lobby with other people who are also shadow-banned." I found that on actual mw2 thread. So I assume its same as mw 2019. Sorry I was never shadow banned so can not tell you of my experience.

This is correct. Shadow bans have been aggressive so far on MW2.
