Not enough players for any matchmaking system to work right.
I think they're looking for cross play to help with that

They announced how mm will work earlier. Consoles will match other consoles, consoles will match PC only when they have a PC player in the fire team. In other words PC is still going to suffer from neglect.
-
That’s an unfortunate consequence and how they have weapon and movement balanced between controllers on Console and keyboard and mouse. Maybe if they at least figure out how to balance weapon control between the two platforms they can mix more of the population in more consistently
-
At least we will have more people to run PvE at least.
-
Yet there are still some Console players that feel even in PVE PC players will have some advantage. This Community will never be happy with anything Bungie tries to do

Edited by MrFunktastik: 8/1/2021 12:34:06 PMYou’re a console speed runner?

I mean uncapped frame rates do have an effect on the game….
-
True. But how important is that in pve? Does this mean PC speed runners will have [u]more[/u] of an advantage than console speed runners? What's the advantage people would complain about?
-
I would assume so. I’m no expert on frame rates, but there is a difference. Only way I see it working is if they cap PC frame rates, but with three different frame rates in the pool, things are not going to go well. You have to realize, pc players can outrun taken ogre eye blasts. You cannot do that on console. So yes there will be distinct advantages for PC if things aren’t capped.
-
Is the perceived advantage mainly for 'random' fireteam activities? Don't you think mixed platform clans would welcome this?
-
I don’t really care about mixed clans. Even then, they are locked to the PC pool of players as per TWaB. So they may not have fun playing with their PC brethren if there ends up being a clear advantage. I personally just think this is going to end up a 💩show. Really think this should have been developed properly for a new game. We will see what will happen though.

Only for PVE activities. Pvp only when there's a PC player in the fireteam. I'm willing to see if, for console, if it improves matchmaking population for ANY of the MM types to work properly. What I don't like is the idea of PC players being able to text to console players. I hope for console sake there's an opt out for the text chat. Like we need more toxicity in this game.
-
I can't fathom why they would care. I imagine it's a minority on console.
-
It likely is and Tbh Bungie shouldn't care about that.
