It doesn't appear in the instant battle finder for me; didn't see anything about that in the patch notes. Anyone else having this issue? |

So not only isn't CCP adding new game modes, they're actually starting to take them away? 
Actually let's be fair, it was always the same mode anyway. |

Half way through my first game already and it looks like they got rid of the original Ambush (50 clones) and renamed "Ambush OMS" into Ambush. |

Patch notes said Ambush and OMS are now combined. It'll vary between the two. |

low playerbase, combine 2 game modes that are basically the same, seems legit. |

Oh dear this does not make me happy. Most of the ridiculous stompers in the Asian servers (where I live) stayed in OMS, now you are telling me that what used to be my favourite game mode (until these stompers came along) is now gone and they will be in my regular matches.
Thanks. |

They are not the same, one is nothing but vehicle spam and pincer with Infantry, and the other is actually a balanced mode. |

Lets do the math folks for the matchmaker:
Game modes = 5 ish (Ambush OMS, Ambush, Skirmish, Domination, FW Battles, Academy, PC Battles)
Hypothetical Distribution = (ambush OMS (20%, Ambush 10%, Skirmish 25%, Domination 22%, FW Battles, 10%, Academy 11%, PC battles 2%)
With 4500 people playing:
Ambush OMS (900 players)
Ambush (450)
Skirmish (1125)
Domination (990)
FW (450)
Academy (495)
PC Battles (90)
Then you also have to realize not everyone is on the same server, then not all of those are available to queue at every moment (only about 10% are at any given minute). So you easily see that game modes like skirmish really will have about 2-3 teams worth of people to work with right now depending on how long the queuing is.
The fewer lobbies and the longer queue times there are the more 'fair' the matchmaker can be.
Below a certain player level though, even if Einstein made love to IBM's Watson, and they had a kid who was taught matchmaking from eharmony's Dr. Neil Clark Warren for his entire childhood and young adult life, and then was forced to slave away mindlessly matchmaking for this game...
That love child could not possibly make fair matches with such a small player base. |
