I know that there is in league play, but do you think that it is there for pub matches too? I've got a real life friend on my FL who has around a 120 SPM, .7 KD, & .5 WL. Last night I joined session and ended up in a lobby FULL of noobs. I wish I had been recording, because the other team was talking about how they got raped LOL. I felt like Alpha running through that lobby, and it was more than just having a good connection. The ENTIRE lobby was full of Timmy No Thumbs LMAO!

to an extent
Syn and I did an experiment a month ago, where we started on new accounts to see what happened
sure enough, when we were both non prestiged, we had easy opponents, when we went back to our normal accounts, we returned to lobbies with boosters (the 400 spm people) and kill farmers

There was a heavy lean on host stats on picking lobbies. But they forgot to code, keeping parties in the same country. Thats why the game was so bad after release. We were connecting across the globe to match up with stats.
Its still there in some form. The more in your party, the more likely you join against a clan. And I'm sure if you're terrible, they have a bootcamp choosing for you.

#32634They had it in public, but they patched it out since people complained about it.
Because connections in the first month of BO2 was great. Now without it, not so much.
Either way, I would assume it's like Alpha said, but Alpha finds easy lobbies with his stats. But then again, they are 60% of boosters with Alphas legit KD. lol

Thanks for the responses gentlemen! I knew that something was up, because I NEVER have games like that on BO2... EVER. My next question is, what do they base it off of. SPM, KD, or WL? I don't think it's based on WL, because mine is sitting at about .34. It could be SPM since my friend's SPM is about half what mine is, or even KD since his is half what I have (both my SPM & KD suck in BO2 LOL).

I think it's SPM, because we're often in lobbies with people who have the same SPM or higher (boosters)
very few people have legit SPM than this group

SPM, like the lobby breakdown.
If we sat in lobbies searching Matching Captures, we couldn't play HQ anymore from empty rooms.

Hell, if it's based off of SPM y'all should start letting me host the parties. I don't think anyone here has a lower SPM than me LMAO!!

That was partly due to Zues himself raining down terror from the skies. Not much anyone could do once streaks got called in.

I couldn't even find anyone to kill before the game ended with you, Syn, Alpha, & ZCS hogging all the damn kills! Those GW games were over so fast, there's no way they could have hurt/helped my SPM LMAO!!!

The only way I got a few streaks in those games was collecting the 400 tags floating around after a streak flew by.

yes, the lobby host is matched up against people around his SPM. If you want to shit on bad kids have someone with a low SPM host (but it also brings in campers). But if you want a challenge have zman or alpha type players host.

It's bad enough when Alpha hosts. I definitely don't want Zcs hosting with his 501 SPM!!! That does explain though why the only time I've ever ran into boosters was in a L3 party. I remember playing HQ on Raid a couple of days back, and Alpha called out a couple of boosters LOL.

I have friends on my list with 650 spm's... playing on their lobby host was so irritating.

There definately is skill based matchmaking. I've got a guy on my friends list who has a reverse boosted account, so he has a .3 kd, 80 spm. I've joined games on him and just wow, the difference is huge.
So if you've got anyone really terrible on your friends list, trying joining their session and you'll see exactly what I mean.

Reverse boosting is stupid as shit. Youtubers do it to get easy lobbies for videos. Its so damn stupid. To admit to having a guy on your list who has done it, is a terrible shame.
Shadow - Connections 1st month were the worst ive ever had in COD. Do you not remember how bad they were?

I agree it is, I've told him that more than once. It's easy to see why though, the moment you put up a streak in most lobbies everyone leaves, but in those ones, they just take the beating.
I'd agree with Shadow, connections were better for me at the start (only for a week or so) than now.

Came in 2 weeks late, but those lobbies weren't even measured by ms ping, it was full seconds. Stressing the (s) on seconds. Every room was none of us breaking even to them at 50+ kills. It was a core team with Vsat playing against HC health. They were pretty much running combat training on recruit with us in there.
