what the heck is skill level you may ask?

I found this thread posted by a DICE employee on their discussion board:

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654624731770357/

it says the following:

So basically, this is what determines your skill level on your stats page:


? You gain/loose SL based on every confrontation with another player
? Killing a highly skilled enemy gives you more points than killing someone less skilled
? Points are not transferred from a player to another, they are simply added/subtracted based on the encounter and the SL of both parts (thus, after an encounter, one part may go up 50 points while the other loses only 20)
? The SL is used for matchmaking

So basically a creation of the console generation...


Note: not saying anything wrong with conole per se as I love my 360 and play it often just I don't like how it's invading my hallowed PC gaming!

I knew it was in bad company 1 and 2 (both console ports btw) i didnt think it was in BF2 though I could be wrong, I don't pay attention to leaderboards very often let alone BF2s as I was too busy playing it nonstop lol.

Exactly.... I have stopped looking at skill seen it go from 500 to 10 in one bad day of playing. That to me is a useless stat that can change so much if you have a few bad games or ones where you make that sacrifice to complete the objective.

Teamwork and objective playing > stupid skill stat

Agreed

Skill level is useless.

+ I doubt when someone is firing at you, you will look up their rank before shooting back.

I +1 to Sexy Smexy! I think it's all just a thing to make me feel like a bigger newb than I already am!
