I wish we had more information. Specifically how would fireteam skill impact these if you are individual. Would focused keep me from matching with fireteams? What do you think?

Probably based on K/D, matchmaking rank, spartan level rank? It will probably find the common ground of all the players in fireteam and match them with appropriate players, depending on the strength of filter. and of course your connection.
It’s still not a server selection… But I suppose it’s better than nothing
I’m guessing more info will be given out during the stream
What it does is implied, which is interesting. Server selection? Not exactly, but it does have “network quality”. Matching fireteams vs randoms? Not exactly, but it does have fireteam skill. Implemented properly, this could be the best sleeper update for PvP.
I’m wondering how it will work in wz? There’s no ranking system, so it can’t go on that.
I suppose maybe it will match based on the fireteam’s average SR so that it can assume that comparable REQs may be obtained? I wonder if it takes fireteam size into account? Organization is a huge factor in determining balance.
Really hope that this stuff works because the lag is annoying right now
I would think focused is localised searches, default being just normal and expanded would be global search.

Hopefully it will attempt to balance it out. If a team of 5 queues for warzone it will look at putting them against another team of 4 or 5.
I am quite literally sick of being put in games against teams and getting core camped for 10 mins.
Well personally all we can do is hope this works. Something doesn’t sit right with me on the way they have it laid out. The way they have mixed skill and connection together really sounds like a mixture for disaster… Most games just give you and easy option of connect to best server by ping. This here is a little more complex. while it may sound good. I have always noticed simple is better in gaming. I really wish they would have showed what we are pinging at when connected to the best server. Still a lot of unknowns!
I just really really hope it works because the lag now that region lock is off is unbearable and has forced me to stop playing. Hopefully ‘focussed’ just means it will only put you into games that are hosted on your nearest (and lowest ping) server. Not that it will kinda search for awhile then put you in a US based match anyway.

Yeah this is exactly how I feel also. I’m also worried that with some people searching ‘balanced’ and others doing ‘focussed’ it will split an already small population further and just make the problem worse.

That’s a good point. This will give us an idea how really the Halo population size is. The longer you wait to find a game usually means less people playing. Im trying to keep an open mind about it. Lets just hope its something that works. Do we know when this update is suppose to be released?

The stream is next week I believe, so shouldn’t be too long.
I really hope there are party restrictions, who ever thought that matching randoms with teams is good idea has probably never touched a game competitively in his/her life.

Thanks! I will keep my eyes and ears open! This is one of those make or break moments for me.

The stream will take place on Wednesday, May 11 at 3 p.m. PT. We’ll have gameplay, community highlights, special guests, and more, and we hope you’ll join us for the show.

Thanks! This is one live stream I will watch carefully…
Add server selector and ping status.

The ping status was something I was hoping for in this new update. But it doesn’t sound like we will get that. :-/

It’s ping status to find the fastest server? Or is there another use?
