This is the hot button topic of the moment, might as well put my 2 cents in: I have no problem with SBMM, in regards to the purpose of it. Playing better comp only makes you better, and occasionally, you still get easy games, all the games arent 'sweaty' as yall say. The issue i have with it, like others, is the lag. The lag is horrible. If they could somehow fix/work on the lag, i say leave it as SBMM. If they cant, switch it back to CBMM. I'd rather have games with better connections than better comp. According to the weekly, it seems for the near future they are going to leave it as SBMM and try to work on the lag. Which is cool since they just recently made the switch, so give them a chance to make it better. If after awhile it doesnt improve, then they should make the switch back.

  • orrrrr just go back to connection based until they figure out how to do skill based? You know, test it extensively before dropping something that ruins the game? Yup.

  • I think you can consider this the test, what they're doing now. They could play with it in the lab all they want, but they wouldnt know how it would be live. Now that it is live, they can adjust accordingly. Give them time.

  • I gave it a few weeks, which is enough for a rather large data sample. Regardless, the community is screaming for it to be gone. Look to Black Ops and how Treyarch handled similar backlash. They switched it back within a DAY.

  • No, that's not a large enough sample size. You and others are asking for it to work correctly out the gate. Since it's not, yall are screaming switch it back. That's not giving it time. The weekly says they are going to address it/look into improving it, so give them time. Yea, the community is screaming for it to be gone, but that doesnt mean it should be. They are screaming go back because their stats arent looking as good now, not cause they want what's best for the game.

  • It is awful in trials man. It is uncompetitive when you spend more time fighting the lag then competing...

    True, the lag is horrible and what needs to be addressed, not sbmm, they are 2 different things. The lag has always been there since year 1. People complained about it, but you know what they complained about as well? Matches being 1 sided. That's why this is hilarious to me. The same ones complaining about sbmm are the same ones that were asking for more competitive games. Bungie listened, and made the teams match up better skill wise, now those same people are complaining and say Bungie doesnt listen lol. Damned if you do, damned if you dont.

  • They implemented it in such a lazy fashion though... I don't care about pubstomping, if it's that bad I leave.

  • I agree, they made the switch in a bad manner, but they did it after listening to the community complaining about 1 sided matches. Some cared, some different. They listened to the ones that said they did and wanted more competitive matches. That's what we're getting.

  • The lag has increased. It is 2 of 3 matches ruined by lag now, instead of 1 of every 10 or more.

  • That isnt true. The lag was just as bad in year 1 as it is now. Out of 10 games, 2-3 was ruined by lag, just like now. That's why i say lag is what needs to be addressed by bungie first and foremost.
