Summary
Battlefield Labs has been an interesting experiment for Electronic Arts and Dice.
However, the ever-contentious topic of skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) recently reared its ugly head.
A system like this tends to balance out a player’s wins and losses over time.
The response in the community was negative.
The outrage prompted a response from David Sirland, a lead producer, on the Battlefield Labs Discord server.
[Battlefield] 2042 has SBMM according to this definition this is what I tried to detail above yesterday.
Also with a party that is more or less ignored.
Just for clarity saying SBMM is bad is not really useful.
What you really want to say is Heavy SBMM where skill separation is a priority is bad.
It wouldnt be fun if all high skill players ended up on the same team, would it?
Its the same matchmaker and controls well use (with tweaks if we find any issues of course).
Others are asking for a server surfing app i.e.
the ability to browse and join custom games.
