What is with the lag?
I can tell sbmm is gone, I'm being teamed up with level 20s and 30s or people with low light levels and stats, but every game has been terrible in terms of the connections
Red bars EVERYWHERE
Bungie what is going on????
-
SBMM is still in the game, and Bungie never said it was going to be taken out, they just adjusted the matchmaking. There still is a noticeable difference in my opponents skill level if i play solo compared to partying up with friends who are below average, or partying up with friends who are better than me. There probably is a lack of players in the crucible due to the Dawning that focuses on strikes and SRL, and on top of that you get skill based matchmaking to limit the player pool even further. Less players to match with means that you will have worse chances to find a lobby that is filled with players from your region.
