Multiplayer unfair matchmaking

Instant action mode matchmaking
Why on earth are we up against lvl 50 with all the upgrades on lvl 11???
The mp is almost unplayable this way. I know that some will say to get beter at the game and quit complaining but how can i get better when i unload a clip on some1 and they almost 1hit kill me?
How can i lvl if cant kill any1?
How is this fair?
Is there a way to limit the level difference to lets say 10 lvls which i dont know of?

Not to mention the lag

your main problem seems to be the lag, cause it doesn't depend on your enemies level how fast they kill you. i was lvl 50, rebooted and now i'm on about 17 or 18 and i never had no problems with killing higher ranked people. how fast is your inet connection and have you checked your NAT type?

My NAT type is fine. I just bought CoD and it says that my upstream bandwidth or something is very bad compared to everyone else's. On CoD I dont notice the lag when playing, but the kill replay shows about 2-3 seconds of difference. Sometimes I get shots off, die, watch the replay and I dont even turn toward the opponent before I fall. In Crysis it doesn't seem to matter as much because the stealth & movement give me that 3 seconds back in confrontations.

I win about 1 out of every 5 matches, and I'm the host about 1 in 100 (I start off by apologizing to the other players, and since I always win those matches I dont count them to myself as wins). Even with lag, the mechanics of crysis allow you to make a good showing anyhow. I would say that if you have bad cnnection, you are better off on a fast game with 1 hit kills than the other FPS on the market, just my opinion.

I usually have 10-11 mps internet.

I think that the lvl difference is a major factor in this mp mode.
They have better weapons and better modules . It makes a huge difference. I dont mind being killed. But it makes me angry when i unload a clip on someone and he still stands while i get shot instantly.

I had no such problems in the -10 lvl mp

Maybe I m not good enough to go against higher lvl players. No shame to admit something like that. Shouldnt I be able to join games with a similar lvl or skill players?
Isnt that what happens at most mp games?

And why is that it usually is the lvl 50 that wins the match if there is no difference?


I was in a few concequtive games that a lvl 50 dude owned everyone and had 25 frags before time run out every time.
When another lvl 50 dude joined he got owned 2 times and then quit. That says much I think.
