Fix PVP
PVP matchmaking really needs to be fixed. No one wants to play a match where they get killed in one shot!! I for one don't want to kill other players with one shot either. There is no reason for lower level players getting stuck playing people 5 levels higher than them.
Its a simple fix, take the team average ex: lvl 15 + lvl 17 + lvl 19 = 51, Team Average = 51/3 = lvl 17. Thus, that example team should only be pitted against a team with +-2 or 3 level difference.
I've recently played matches where the other team's average was >= 5 levels above ours, that is just ridiculous! There is hardly any chance to compete against a team that much higher.
Yes, I realize level bonuses don't apply but the gear they have does.
To me either the matchmaking algorithm does not address such an issue or is flawed. Its a simple common sense fix, so please fix it and it will make PVP a lot better.

I agree. The match making is messed up. I was just playing Salvage. One game I end up with 2 frags / 22 deaths. 2nd game I end up getting 24 frags and 6 deaths. Or something like that. It's unfair and it makes noobs seriously rage quit (although you get a "lone wolf" badge if you stay till the very end, only one in the team). I don't think the match making system is taking in account of rare gear vs common gear. It only takes account of what's your armor rating. Heck! I had one game where a level 20 player was in a match full of level 10s and 11s! This guy had OP rare weapons, but sucky armor rating! Side-tracked: And another thing, why are noobs still using the Auto Rifle? The hand cannon is overkill if you make every shot count. You can frag someone in 2 to 3 hits!

In the current pvp modes stats on armor don't really matter. As long as you have guns with similar stats then you can do just as much damage as a level 20 even if you are level 5. Higher level guns have abilities and such but that's no different from almost any other competitive multiplayer shooter on the market.
