matchmaking

I think it’s based on getting 5 to 15 players into as many different lobbies as possible so we can sit and stare at a match that never fills up. Especially after a match has ended. 

How do I go from a full 64 player Conquest map to a new match that has 5 players?? You’re telling me 59 players all quit out of the match I was just in?? I’ve NEVER seen a full 64 player match in BF4, BF1, or BF6 that rolls over and only has 5 players. HOW IS THIS HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY and REPEATEDLY in BF6??? 

lol. Your comment inspired me to finally write up this matchmaking issue in detail, if you want to chime in and contribute a comment on my post, it’s the underlying issue from your comment, and I’m really trying to get the issue escalated:

To answer your questionBigBoy777jjs​ , they said in their Discord Q&A that the matchmaking is purely ping/region based, but once you’re in a lobby, it will try to balance the teams by KD/level average

Yep and obviously your map selection if you use Custom Search.

But unfortunately the tin foil hat folk will continue to believe battlefield 6 has heavy SBMM when matchmaking.

to play devils advocate, it would explain the bizarre multi-ghost-lobby behavior from the post I linked, if there was SBMM, and each lobby in the same reason was in a different skill tier

but no, it’s definitely not true, I look at people’s KD randomly and see 0.2 all the way up to 6.5 all in the same match
