Titanfall Matchmaking Update On the Way, Will Give More Balance For Xbox One and PC Gamers

Get On (Or Off) My Level, Bro -- Titanfall Matchmaking Update To Fix Balance Issues

Titanfall has sure been an awesome game so far, but when you get on a team with a bunch of level one guys against a bunch of generation ten guys, it can kinda stop being fun unless you get in a new lobby.

Well, luckily that's about to change with a forthcoming update from Respawn announced on their site. The changes are as follows, per Respawn:

"1. Searching for teammates and opponents will now sometimes take more time to look for players that are a good skill level match, rather than purely prioritizing speed over quality. This will give us more time to build better teams and create closer games that are worth staying in for a longer period of time.

"2. Rather than playing against the same opponents over and over, the game will periodically split the teams apart and search for new opponents for each team. This means if one team is dominating, we will update the skill for all of the players and then find each team a better suited match for the next round. Did you lose to a really great team? We'll make them disappear and replace them with a new opposing team - and they will have no idea that you just got your butts kicked. This should end some of the frustration with playing for extended periods when you're having an off night."

That all sounds pretty great, especially the second part. Anyone who's been playing Titanfall since launch has surely been in at least one lobby where they dominated for a couple hours, and one where they got stomped repeatedly. A little more balance ought to be a real nice thing.
