Re: Pretty convinced that SBMM in 2042 is real
@DigitalHype BFV had a server browser. How can you do sbmm with a server browser? Unless you are referring to the quick match button, which many figured out quickly that it will put you in a lobby alone

@fragnsteinYes, I'm refering to the quick join options in BFV. I commented about that in my response. The matchmaking and SBMM was present there. It only worked at game launch or on console where the player numbers were high enough. Because the quick join was a much larger front-page option there were enough using it.
But after the player population dipped and most PC players were using the server browser, the quick launch was dead and SBMM wasn't happening. In fact, Chris commented about this and how DICE didn't really want people to using the server browser for this very reason.
I knew that this iteration of BF would remove the server browser. I even predicted it back in the old forums that the next BF wouldn't have one. The writing has bene on the wall for this since BF1. They had been slowly making the server browser worse after BF4 by removing features and making it less and less prominent and more cumbersome in the UI.
Since the Steam freebie went out I've seen countless rank 15-20 blitzing everybody. One player was constantly averaging over 70 kills on foot in back to back matches. Pretty sure they weren't legit to be honest, they'd instantly find you playing as Zain, and withstand vehicle fire. Then as I predicted seconds before hand as I'm tearing through enemy ranks, they were going to be the one who showed up with explosives. Sure enough, there they appear, right next to the vehicle. Straps explosive to it, detonates right next to themselves without dying. Vehicle survived, but I bailed to take him out. He's getting shot by three players plus me, in the open, less than 15m away. Manages to tank all that gunfire to one shot me through smoke and then gets killed. When a player is outpacing vehicle score on foot, and they're a new player, suspicions quickly start to rise. I've noticed this with a lot of low rank players who pull off perfect shots on occupants of moving vehicles. Spawned into a Condor side seat yesterday and within half a second, as its swinging around, a rank 15 takes my head off.
Really makes me think the reason I'm being matched with these people is because they're performing way beyond what their rank suggests their experience is. Ergo, illegitimate. Their activities would back that up.
Yes SBMM is in this game and if you are level 50 and below you have an advantage almost like you have no bloom or spread your weapons'
Yes SBMM is in this game and if you are level 50 and below you have an advantage almost like you have no bloom or spread. Now they gave playstation freebies a beamer pass, have fun getting wrecked by noobs at a unfair advantage
- @k4jdob2kktpl I've got to say, sometimes I feel as if this is true.
I swear to god it sometimes feels like new players suddenly have some kind of advantage because ever since Steam FreeToPlay and sale kicked off, alog with PS+, I've been losing 1v1s for some bolox reasons.
And I cannot call these players any "good". They still have potato score and k/d, yet sometimes they just point their gun at me and I die.
With the absurd amounts of shady patents companies such as EA and Activision have been filing, I won't won't be surprised if people below certain rank got some kind of server advantages.

That isn't SBMM. That is DDA (Dynamic Difficult Adjustment). Which I also believe DICE is experimenting with here.
@UP_LordPlumber I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this. For me, I'd frequently find players under the rank of 80 were just obliterating myself and others with ease, while I was able to take out S200+ with relative ease. Same for players on low rank being the best snipers in the game.
- @Moab23 https://patents.justia.com/patent/11478716 quite a read. There are tons of patents filed by EA for adjusting difficulties and SBMM for online games. This makes me want to puke
In that round alone we had multiple lower rank enemy players just blasting through people like its nothing. A rank 80 went over 70 kills back to back on foot. Instantly locating people for one, so I doubt they were fully legit to begin with, but they were taking me out at like 40m with three 12M buckshot rounds at full health. Others in the rank 15 range are popping heads off instantly, or just absorbing full mags of RM68 to the face. Its ridiculous. But the other thing is all of the enemy low ranks perform like seasoned players while the ones on my team can barely function.
In that match a rank 7 ended up topping the enemy team and was just walking through everyone. But this is like four straight matches where despite both teams having low rank players, only the enemy team seems to function as a team. My vehicles get bombarded instantly but enemy vehicles are roaming around, even parking up right next to flags without being hit.
Another low ranker going over 80 kills, above everyone else but 20 kills minimum. I've no idea where they're actually finding all the targets to shoot.
Same low ranker, this time on my team, going over 90 kills. 30 kills over my final. Rank 29, clearly aimbotting. They're getting like 15 kills per minute.
