Season 3 Reloaded marked the beginning of Warzone 2 Ranked Play. Every player starts at Bronze 1 and must earn SR to progress through the mode\u2019s seven divisions. Players rank up through match placement, kills, assists, and kills by your squad. MW2 uses the same Skill Divison format and restricts higher-level players from facing off against the mode\u2019s lowest-ranked players. NICKMERCS explained why it is less realistic for Warzone 2 to uphold those same matchmaking standards. Does Warzone 2 Ranked Play have fair matchmaking? NICKMERCS, TimTheTatman, and FaZe Booya ran into a group of Top 250 players during a Warzone 2 Ranked Play match, and Tim questioned if the matchmaking was fair. The leader of the MFAM Army wasn\u2019t that surprised about the encounter, despite being low-ranked. \u201cThey can\u2019t put all Top 250 players in a lobby because these guys aren\u2019t all playing at the same time.\u201d \u201cSo if you are gold or even silver, and platinum, there are going to be these times you see these guys in your lobby, that\u2019s just the way that it is.\u201d Nick argued that it\u2019s not worth being in 20 to 30-minute queues just to be in a lobby of all players in the same division. \u201cOtherwise, the people at the top are never going to be able to get games,\u201d and the queue time would be ridiculous.\u201d MFAM community members argued Halo\u2019s ranked mode perfected matchmaking. However, Nick argued: \u201cIt\u2019s not a fair comparison,\u201d as Warzone 2 Ranked Play lobbies require 150 players instead of eight in Halo, making it even harder to group players with the same rank. The developers have already taken action to improve matchmaking as a background update focused on matching players in similar Skill Divisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS reveals the \u201cbiggest issue\u201d with Warzone 2 Ranked Play Activision, NICKMERCSNICKMERCS explained why 150-player lobbies in Warzone 2 Ranked Play make it difficult to match players with a similar skill level.
