I do not disagree that the lack of a working matchmaker has been one of my biggest disappointments with DUST 514. However, we have been working on a very promising solution and all our internal testing seems to confirm that it works, and that it works well. We will probably deploy the code very soon, and then test it on the live server for an hour or two and monitor closely.

This is a real matchmaker, so with that, we will have veterans fighting veterans, and we kept the Teambuilder logic as it was already working admirably.

I don't deny it, this is "the thing" I wanted to get fixed the most since Open Beta.

but does it take ping into account, because fighting vets with 1fps every game instead of 1 of 3 games is even worse

i dont want to fight spanish and japanesee corps EVERY game at 1 fps i will simply quit the game.

You're right about ping being an issue, but the core matchmaker logic needs to come first. Adjusting for player performance adn adjusting for network performance are two separate calculations with two separate sets of variables.
