343's Hidden Halo Infinite System Revealed.

[TubzGaming]

Halo Infinite Player reveals hidden matchmaking system that tries to keep you at 50% win rate so you'll keep playing & spending money.
Talks about how disheartening & how manipulative it's become.​

Ranked isn't really "Ranked"​

Ultimately SBMM stops you from playing with friends, enforces artificial matchmaking results with pre-determined outcomes and makes the current Ranked system redundant. Curious to hear what everybody thinks and happy to answer any questions you guys might have.​

What a mess of a game,

I seriously doubt HI is the only or the first online mp game doing such tricks. Good that people are wising up, though.

lol, this game is just absolutely disgusting. Complete and utter piece of trash.

souless, corporate, by the numbers exploitative trash.

the fact that this game, in its sorry state, sits at above an 80 on metacritic is an embarrassment to the industry and compromises every single one of those sources credibility moving forward.

Destiny has SBMM and that can get kinda weird at times....

People are always complaining about it. But somehow the 343 / HI one sounds far worse... dunno if that is just the video or reality.

Oh wow, this is absolutely disgusting.

This pisses me off, read the room 343....

Most games use it.

Of course there is bad implementations but I don’t know where Infinte fits compared with others games.

 

[John Elden Ring]

I can barely play this game 90% of the time because there is no SA servers. I always get inconsistent matches.

Modern multiplayer games are so impersonal and boring because of stuff like this.

Back in the day I could easily have a good time playing CS on LAN or in specific servers in my region. No need for constant updates, just a really strong core gameplay and a lot of people that just played because they wanted to play it, not to get a skin, do a daily quest, unlock something or because they thought they were going to turn pro.
