Yes - and the same time Professor Broman (The Same qball picked to stream TTK) is tweeting how excited he is about The Division beta a couple of Saturday's ago.

Face lag or G-I-T G-U-D

Yeah all the complaining about constant Red Bars wasn't really too consistent with my own playtime. Sure, there were always a very small number of horrendous laggers(1/20+ games), but that is to be expected. So they should make a system where you are placed in a ranked game every other game you play. So it woulf go SBMM Match->CBMM Match-->SBMM Match... etc.

Guess you missed the boat completely. It was about lag, always. I'm no elite and I'll forever want CBMM.

I suck and I'm glad skill based match making is going out the window! It allows me to get better at the game instead of playing against bad players 24/7, when I could be getting better by playing against better people by having to play smarter, harder and more thoughtfully.

elite players left in year 1. your statement is false.

[quote]Just read Deej's latest post and it seems that skill based match making is out the window in favour of connection based. I've been trying to get my friends into playing some pvp recently as they hated it last year. They are still finding their feet, trying to discover what guns to use etc, and now here they are about to get demolished and demoralised one again. Why? Because, as usual, Bungie only listen to their friends and the elite Twitch steamers. I've read many threads by these people complaining about how their games are a grind now that they are matched up to people of equal skills and how they DEMAND to be able to go into a match and just enjoy themselves by destroying all they see. People complained about the lag. I'm not sure I noticed a massive difference to be truthful. All I ask is for my weapons to cause the same damage as others using the same thing. As usual, we'll have to wait and see how this plays out, but it's getting to the tipping point now fellas. Carry on pandering to the minority and you will finally finish this game for the people who pay your bills. Edit: To the people who are asking how a noob can get better if (s)he's not being challenged by going against good players. Answer me this. By your own logic, how can good players get better if they are going up against noobs? Surely playing people of similar and slightly better ability is what you are looking for. Do you really think shooting fish in barrels improves your angling skills? Second edit: well, I still have a good memory of all the whining that occurred prior to SBMM happening. The amount of hated directed to bungie at every iron banner. It would appear from reading the comments that red bars was never an issue during CBMM. I hope you all remember this thread when it goes back. Can't wait for all these no red bar, no lag games during next week's IB. Let's just see shall we.[/quote] Tell your "friends" to get gud, sorry. Can't protect casuals at the cost of function. That killed Battlefront right out the gate.

Let me just say, SBMM is to your advantage. Since a lot of people have a KD around yours. You may not be getting people from overseas. I play with a buddy whose KD is 1.7 amd we'd always gey matched up with red bars. In the beginning of TTK, SBMM was fun. My KD raised to 1.07-8 and I struggle to get into matches. And when I do get into matches, I fave people in Germany, UK, France, Brazil, Spain and Korea.. Do you understand how frustrating that is? I can care less about going against higher skilled players. Because higher skilled players can still be killed. But red bars, take a little more work to kill.
