Out of the 16 PVP matches i’ve played today, my team never got above 20 kills in 13 of them. Is it just that im suddenly bad after being decent in MCC and H5 or are we having another Modern Warfare SBMM situation here, where you do good one match and suddenly you get matched with tryhards like Mint Blitz (no offense to him)?? Because thats literally what happened once, a guy literally got 21 kills and almost went on a perfection if it wasnt for me (his only dead) and his friend (which had the same clan tag) went 15-3, and me?? 6-17, when i constantly go positive in MCC and H5. What the -Yoink- is happening

Had a game were my team only got 6 kills. Next game, we won the game. Idk what’s going on
Maybe its just different people still getting used to the new game?

Maybe but I’m also having instances were my shot wont registered and I’m getting melted instantly. Idk if its server lag but I never had any performance issues with the first flight.
The ttk and weapon balance feels off to me
I don’t think it’s really matchmaking based on skill. I think it’s just pulling in whomever it can to fill the slots right now.
If it is matchmaking, boy-howdy does it need some improvements!
I also agree, TTK and balance seem broken a bit.

Oh, i though his post was more about the skill based matchmaking.
I do think that things like TTK, Balance and AA could all use some improvements.
this is a tech preview exclusive to halo insiders, not a retail game. there’s obviously going to be a surplus of skilled halo players. did 343i even say this flight would have SBMM?
I’ve seen a multitude of looking for group posts assembling teams of sweats. I have a feeling that we may be encountering them more often than we like. How big can the player pool really be in this flight?

Agreed, there have been some matches where the teams are really even and it’s a great fight. Scores are close. Then others where my face gets melted so bad I have to call in a plastic surgeon to reattach it.
As for pool size, I mean, they did say that anyone that was signed up for the HIP by a particular date would get an invite. I don’t think I’ve run into a single person I’ve played with recently again, but I could be wrong on that.

Tech Preview would typically include testing the matchmaking TECH as it’s TECHNICALY necessary TECH for a competitive FPS so it’s within the realm of reason to expect that there would be some kind of skill based matchmaking…
But I digress. Fairly certain it’s just randomly matching anyone who is searching for a game regardless of skill.

Yeah its a bit fast for halo, but i can accept that. Matchmaking tho?? It needs to be improved if its actually SBMM being to strong or its just because its a beta with more hardcore players instead of casual ones
