Re: Australia - Lower number of players to start or allow AI with XP on portal
The Battlefield community has been providing feedback to DICE about the matchmaking system since it was first introduced in BFV. All feedback has been carefully listened to, then ignored.
I believe DICE is using Amazon's FlexMatch matchmaking system. I don't know if DICE has misconfigured the matchmaking settings, but sitting in a matchmaking queue for hours without finding a match is clearly broken.
Levelcapgaming recently did a video exposing how upper management at Activision is forcing skill based matchmaking on game developers.
The difference between CoD and Battlefield matchmaking is CoD created their own matchmaking system that actually works and puts you into games fast. While Battlefield's matchmaking uses Amazon FlexMatch which works poorly in comparison and causes players to give up and go play other games.
