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

Axe I like what they are going to do in the future update or what ever. I have had games where I had a completely stacked team against players who had just started the game for the first time.

Yea same here man.
They're actually doing a good job on this game.

Thespian I need to get this game. They are so dedicated to this game its awesome!

Give it about a year when they don't care anymore.

How can you tell me the original mw2 team doesn't care about their game. They were making mw2 updates long long after it came out.

Well we will see in about a year if they are just as dedicated. I doubt they will be after a couple years. BO2 is still putting personalization packs out I believe. I wish they would do a zombies map pack.

BO2 has to be one of my favorite CODs to play legit. It was very consistent and in my opinion the best for trickshotting and sniping behind mw2. I can't wait to see if Treyarch will add more zombies maps.

The fact that I am only level 17 and getting into lobbies with 6th and 7th Gens is insane. When they released the "Beta" for searching for skill matched players, I still got into lobbies with high generations. I really hope they fix this issue.

Thank god that it will find new players I hate when I keep playing the same kids over and over again and keep losing.
