Titanfall's upcoming changes to address balance

4.4
Respawn has let the community know details about an upcoming series of changes to Titanfall's matchmaking system in a effort to address a "lack of variety" in matches. The studio intends to reinforce Titanfall's "behind-the-scenes matchmaking algorithms" with these changes, the hope that it will result is teams based on skill levels rather than a quick and dirty composition.

The official Respawn posting regarding this subject can be found here.


Searching for teammates and opponents will now sometimes take more time to look for players that are a good skill level match rather than purely prioritizing speed over quality. This will give us more time to build better teams and create closer games that are worth staying in for a longer period of time.

Rather than playing against the same opponents over and over, the game will periodically split the teams apart and search for new opponents for each team. This means if one team is dominating, we will update the skill for all of the players and then find each team a better suited match for the next round.

Did you lose to a really great team? We'll make them disappear and replace them with a new opposing team - and they will have no idea that you just got your butts kicked. This should end some of the frustration with playing for extended periods when you're having an off night.Respawn
