Matchmaking to Be based off of ping/line quality...

Posted by ChestSplittah on Oct 25, 2012 7:36 PM

Rather than locations in the world.

 

I have gathered this Intel from our Chief Intel Officer.

 

I'm sure he will chime in at some point. I'm am not stating that I have all the details, nor that I am in the know of it being the best possible solution. Though... IMO this will be something I can have a little more faith in. I am not a 100% sure but I think this what MW2 used. In that games beginnings, I rarely ever made it past <60ms search. I didn't make it to <70ms until about the time after the Resurgence Map Pack.

 

These sessions were in abundance. Depending on your place in the world. Being in the MidWest of US places me right in the middle, thus giving me a wide range to ping 70ms or lower. This can possibly alleviate a lot of issues with matching up with people that are 1000s of miles away.

 

I sincerely hope that this system is somewhat equivalent to MW2s system, or possibly better.

    I can't add much to this more than that all of the CODs since 4 have match made based on ping. Looks like they're removing some of the additional back end stuff that would happen outside of this.

    Do you think that could possibly be a +/-? I don't recall having such issues as I have had with the last 2 systems in comparison to CoD4, W@W, MW2. Most of the people on my list from the early days were found through random matches. Though, I can say that through MW2, the additions acquired from it.. produced people from within my more localized area ( Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania).

     

    Which I know a pingtest from a computer isn't a accurate way to figure whom you should be matched against for the "best" sessions possible. However, those states I mentioned above ARE well within my pings of <30-50ish ms's. Now in MW2 for an example. The search would rarely ever make it to <60ms in a TDM searches. With our team together. We found the best person to host, usually me or Dachtler as I'm in Indiana he is in Ohio.

    The biggest difference between the match making that I've found is, as Robbie pointed out, the fragmentation of the community. So many different people are playing in so many different games that I'm sure the match making suffered greatly from that. Add to that the more extensive stat gathering going to multiple places as well as theater mode, then combine all that with the fact location never seemed to be a factor so you're getting placed into foreign lobbies like it's no big deal

    I honestly can't say. I've seldom had any of the issues that most people had in the last two titles and even the titles before them. I've lagged and had lag issues, but those are only in situtions where it would make sense. That is line problems, -blam- squirrels/weather, and connecting to a host that ended up having problems itself.

     

    My guess is that it is a plus. We can only hope, right?

    Indeed, that's all we can actually do. I know as usual they will continue with adjustments (hopefully) as in the past. Damn squirrels. My lag experiences from days of old, are mainly understandable ones as you've said. Whether by my induction, I.e. I didn't have a substantial amount of bandwidth through my provider to sustain my usage and others simultaneously within the home, and all other things I can control, to the best of my ability.

     

    The last 2 were more IMO a matchmaking issue. Sometimes it seemed acceptable given my work hrs, others were just plain sickening for me. Now take into account I play solo a majority of the time due to reason given above. Yet, I would play these odd hrs on the first three. In short, i/we can only hope for the best, and provide accurate, sensible feedback to avoid the worst.

    Would be better if it was age based as i couldnt tell u the amount of annoying little kids u come across. They aint all like that, just the ones with a mic it seems. Put them all in a lobby and qs till there hearts content and let the 18+ common sense adults have fun

    If they have not worked on the gameplay/connection based quality, then the game will perform much like the last 2.

    First off if you could read, I said my experiences with the last 2 games were SICKENING for the most part. As far as your lag comp shovel of fail you're trying to put in my yard... Parse through my 9000+ posts and find me something about lag comp as you knumbkins whore it about. I'm not into FAIL terminology when it comes to explaining.

     

    Whether Commandante has issues with the last two tours is his opinion/experiences.

     

    Hundreds of posts bashing lag/matchmaking..huh?

     

    So on CharlieOscarDelta you saw me bash CoD4?

     

    W@W CoDHQ..you saw me bash its matchmaking and lag?

     

    IWF.. You saw me bash MW2?

     

    No..

    No..

    No..

     

    So as I've said for over 5 years...stay on topic..or get off damn thread.

     

    No room at the table for you...

    MW2 did have the best matchmaking to date.
