First off let me say...I suck at crucible. That being said I have enjoyed the latest IB. Why? Because for the first time I'm going up against players as unskilled as me and it felt fair. Did it make playing easier? No...as all my games were extremely close. Why? Because it's a team effort. Not just one player going around killing everybody and getting 30+ kills. Did it lag? Some games there were red bar ninjas...other games not so much. Waiting for games? Yes..there were delays but nothing is instant! Waiting for a game for 3 minutes is not unreasonable. Bottom line... Sbmm Did I fell challenged? Yes. I fell I gained confidence by staying alive long enough to actually leave the spawn point! Unlike a 'normal' game where some 'great' players snipe you as you spawn. Boy that must take 'real' skill... I actually think I played better, got a bit faster, played with a few different weapons and had a lot more fun. Cbmm In a world where everybody has good internet...it would be the ideal But and there is a HUGE BUT... That's not the case. I am on fibre...when I play by myself I'm always green. When I play with any of my outside NZ friends I yellow bar. Do I notice the delay...hell yes. If you think the wait times are bad now...try waiting for cbmm games. To the complainers... Playing against players your own level...hard for you? Sweaty....because your games were close? Didn't get you kd up...Didn't get your usual 30+ kills per game? Was too close a game...because you couldn't walk all over the opposition? You had to wait 3 minutes for a game... Unthinkable...really... It's like a whole lifetime....not. Sick of losing....welcome to my world.
