Adds up all players total SP in the match, divides it by 2, builds teams to match the number for both teams as closely as possible.
As for squads, prioritize squads against squads. Keep Squads waiting for deployment while the total amount of squad members is matched or matched closely(within 3 players) against enemy teams. If 2 minutes of waiting is met, throw squad into any game as normal.

Seriously these parameters are NOT hard to code in. And the matchmaking is currently non existent. CCP hire some people with IQ greater than 90 please.

I'm sorry, that's entirely too logical. You are no longer welcome here.


EDIT: Sorry, missed the part about endless waiting for battles. No thanks!

easy now big fella. ripper is just trolling you. he is having a bad day and not feeling creative at the moment.

Wasn't talking about Ripper, he just beat me to the reply. Mmm... Tacos...

please tacos.

no tacos for you. taquitos only

so someone who has 10 mil sp and focused on a proto fit w/ proto weapon is equivalent to someone with 10 mil thrown everywhere and can only run basic gear?

what if 1 squad has a lot of high sp mercs so they pit your one squad against 3 lower sp squads who work well together? and lets not forget making squads wait is like punishing them for squading so how does that make sense in a team oriented game

the simple fact is there is no simple answer, and that's compounded by a small player base...

but if you really think you have all the answers you should make a game and show CCP how its done.

Seems like people are saying they shouldnt be considered a big boy and playing with the big boys because they don't wanna keep up with people with proto gear.
GROW THE **** UP. Matchmakings entire point is to throw you up against players of similar skill, in this game skill equates to how long you've played, which equates to SP. Just cause you don't wanna use real gear doesn't mean we're gonna let you stomp noobs with your ****** gear because you have way more experience.
Thats what matchmaking is, telling you that you can't stomp newbies anymore and you're responsible for playing with your peers.
You don't wanna play with the big boys go play COD where you'll fit in perfectly.

So what do you do with the 10 million SP clone that has specced straight to one set of proto gear and the 15 million SP clone that has spread out all their points into random skills? Clone A might be running proto, and clone B not.

What about when the vets decide to run militia gear and the younger players are running full proto? Or vice-versa?

These are reasons why you cannot matchmake according to total SP, ISK, or even what active fittings a player is using. I have some proto weapons that I almost never use (choosing ADV/STD/militia), but I would still count as a protobear.

It's more complicated than you think.
