REDSEC Sudden SBMM

My last normal match was on Wednesday this week in Redsec. Since then, my friends and I have only been getting lobbies where sometimes we can’t even move. My skills haven’t changed — I’ve had a steady 1.0–1.1 KD since the game’s release. So if this continues, unfortunately I’ll have to quit the game, even though I really enjoyed the first week.

Yeah, in the last few days I've noticed a lot of sweaty players all of a sudden across the whole game. Now I'm struggling to get kills without being killed almost immediately. I'm turning crossplay off to see if that helps at all.

The net code isn't helping either. Lately I've been lagging and rubber banding all over the place to the point where it's virtually impossible to play or do anything, but yet others can kill me no problem.

I was doing decent in Redsec at first, but now I'm getting killed easily and getting stuck with horrible teammates that refuse to play the objective in Gauntlet. 

Even my friends are saying that they have turned it up, so it’s definitely just me feeling this. Same as Verdansk when it came back, first few days without and then BAAM, cranked up SBMM to the MAX.

Everyday now the games are super sweaty still, it was not just the other day. Even GAUNTLET is freaking sweaty, I was really hoping for a much more relaxing experience compared to a sweat fest in Redsec. I stopped playing Warzone cause of SBMM.

It should be just ping and location and then complete random lobby regarding skill.

SBMM just kills the vibe and will kill it again!

There's likely some degree as you ultimately NEED it to have any game matchmaking work (and has been a thing since the start with Halo 2).

Could also just be that people are figuring out the game and collectively getting better now that the dust of its drop is settling. Could ALSO just be a rough session that you hit and you were just unlucky.

I’m really enjoying the casual mode as I’m new to battlefield but of late I find casual server is very sweaty. I don’t understand. I was really enjoying it now I’m not.

Felt like a higher power had it out for me lo

Certainly feels like that some days.   I wouldn't be surprised if turning off crossplay only helps for so long though...because TMK you can play on PC through Gamepass and you appear as a Xbox player (100% please correct me if I'm wrong).

I also wouldn't be surprised if Cronus has developed ways around the detection software either.

I've run into full blow rage cheaters that make no attempt at trying to be casual. One dude in particular was recon, anyone within view was dead even if they were full sprint through smoke it was an immediate fatal sniper headshot, quite a few people in my team called it out too now just there I was playing breakthrough immediately lasered to the head from across the road in siege of cairo as soon as I climbed the stairs on the attacker side. 

I think it's just time we either accept it for what it is or find something else to play, It's just like Escape from Tarkov in that regard.

Theres definitely sbmm and it feels almost stronger then warzone.

The only time SBMM comes into play is when all of the first 3/4 criteria aren't met.   I think it's Ping, location, games needing filling, and then SBMM in that order.

We've run into Wallhackers the past few days, so they definitely appear to have found a way around Javelin

I suddenly saw a bunch of conquest games yesterday that were incredibly sweaty. So much bunny hopping and sliding, and I couldn't even get a shot off at an enemy player because I just die on sight. My ping was fine, I even turned off crossplay to see if it would help, but I was getting massacred last night. Felt like a higher power had it out for me lol
