Matchmaking improvements include visible skill ratings in unranked modes and optimized queue times. The studio is also addressing concerns about score calculations and restrictions on pre-made squads in ranked play.
On the anti-cheat front, Respawn is actively combating team collusion, already seeing a reduction thanks to implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system is in development for reported players. The ongoing battle against bots continues, with a machine learning model being developed for both detection and proactive prevention of bot creation.
