Remember your placements take into account previous seasons performance.

I thought that too. I finished D1 last season, so it was a really good placement..
Games have been feeling a little laggy recently, are the servers feeling off for anyone else?
Also, I didn't know you could do this with camo (entirely accidental)

They tweaked matchmaking, so it could be it.
I think they changed ping restriction for faster matchmaking :/

Yep that allows for a safer camo grab but I don't find it necessary, good if you spot an enemy going for the camo and deny/delay him though.

Not the actual dropping of it but doing it just before so it flings it out, didn't even consider.

Have they mentioned anything about how shit Overgrowth is with sword on it?
Orion better than Overgrowth and Riptide.

Wonder if they might change that?

Sometimes these maps work great in one scenario and horrible in others.
Maps like overgrowth and riptide work well with teams that really dont stick with each other but each engaging in mainly 1v1 situations.
It sucks horribly when a team holds a spot and spawn camp u basically. Since these maps are so small and advantage points are easy to hold with 4. Its gg instantly. Of course sword on overgrowth is way op with the cooridors. and a decent ninja could get 7+ kills with one use.
Like solo que warzone vs a coordinated team. Youre not gonna have a good time...

I just had a shitty, shitty set of 10 games for FFA placement... and got diamond 1. Considering I worked my ass to get through platinum up to diamond in FFA last month, this just feels... wrong
BizzyBum

I didn't know this, but Ozzy said above it takes into account last month's placement so that's probably why.
I find it weird getting placed takes into account a bunch of different things then once you're ranked only wins and losses affect it.

That is tricky though but yeah it feels so good when it works like that clip.

That would explain it then. It probably also explains the fact that most of my opponents were overall, pretty damn good in just about every match I had.

I'd like to see an update to that process, solo or two player parties get ranked in all games as all individual data where parties of 3 or more get ranked on win/loss only (post placements). It seems to be fairer this way. The solo or buddies grinding it out with randoms can move up the ranks as they should for doing better consistently but still getting a loss. This accounts for solo, full parties and partial party mixes too.
They also need to weight ranks against KDR/A based on quitters or number of players in your games for individually ranked stats/ranks.
Other than that I'm having a great time with ranks in H5.

next lobby needs to run duck hunt
Those were some good customs!
Goat owes Ocho $10 as promised. Heard it here first.
That would've been next up if it wasn't late. Next time I promise.

Does anyone want to play arena slayer? I would do arena, but I am in the mood just to kill stuff.
It started as a 3v3 Slayer showdown, then Goat came out of nowhere and was all like "I demand a customs night".
Wowowowowow.

What changes did they make?
The game was so smooth yesterday. No lag, No latency. Everything worked perfectly.
Guess what, All my shots lands as they supposed to, K/D varied from 2 to 5.
Please keep it like that 343. I hate the game when it lags.
Specially when you know you had that kill, And you did everything right, But the enemy wont die no matter what you do or what weapon you use. Even shotguns wont kill on close quarter. That's frustrating you know!?!
When The game starts giving me assists all the way, That's when I know the game is fucked up.
All negativity aside, This game man. This game plays like a dream when it works. I love the gun play, The movement, The weapons. The abilities. Great Job 343
Keep fixing those servers
I could never do that when it lags
And I love this assassination

REQ level increases faster so you get power weapons earlier, dropped weapons disappear after 20 seconds instead of 5 so dropped weapons are in the playground longer.

Got this when trying to do BTB. Welp.
I did run into Funk the game before, so that was fun, just kept teabagging and corpse shooting him.

LOL.
125ms ping used as KPI threshold for a competitive online shooter?
Especially combining that to this sentence:
Instead of spending efforts on giving everyone the best and lowest possibile ping (regional server selection) they say they are working on ways to compensate for high pings...
You are stupid 343i.

Elzar and Ice, I demand we head into Arena sometime for my placement matches. I refuse to head in solo anymore.

Req levels increase faster and dropped weapons/vehicles stay on the field longer. Matches are generally much more chaotic as a result.
Blue Ninja
Member
Fuck yea
Pretty bad, because that 125ms counts for us Europeans and at the same time you have US people in your match, which have a 30-50ms ping.
My ping to the main XBL server (which, according to support, is on the US West Coast) is 174ms. You can check yours through your "Detailed Network Test" or whatever it's called. I doubt it's lower than that, when I actually play against people from US West Coast.
