SBMM has broken Halo Infinite's Matchmaking

Описание: Skill-Based Matchmaking; it's a phrase that will strike fear into the hearts of Call of Duty players everywhere. But for fans of the Halo series, they might not be so sure what the big deal is. A recent test from someone on Reddit along with other confirming reports has essentially proved the existence of Skill-Based Matchmaking (or a secret Match Making Rank) in Halo Infinite that isn't just active in Ranked, but also in casual game modes like Quick Play and Fiesta too.

What is Skill-Based Matchmaking? How does it work? And why do I think this is a bad thing for Halo? Stick around and find out! If you're also feeling generous, why not drop me a subscription? It's free and will let you know whenever more of my videos are uploaded!
