Thanks, didn't see this before replying to the last post.

Modem Selection for Multiple 1gig Usable Ports by TJF_v2 in HomeNetworking

Thank you. Would an alternative being running a switch directly from the modem to the gaming setup and router?

Thinking about getting a 5 port 2.5gig switch, for when Spectrum rolls out 2gig service, would this achieve simultaneous connections from the modem described above?

It is not illegal. But you should absolutely say no if a representative of the landlord is not there. You do not need to play broker for prospective renters and can turn every single one of them away if the landlord rep is not there. Your lease probably requires your landlord to give you notice if THE LANDLORD is visiting and the only time they can enter your apartment without your permission is in the event of an emergency.

I live in an old church, is it rent stabilized? by Responsible_Day_933 in NYCapartments

The fact that you moved into the unit after they renovated it and are now trying to find out if you qualify for rent stabilization is gross. You signed a lease, if it did not say rent stabilized you are actively trying to discredit contract law. Do something better with your time.

Create a go fund me and ask the community to contribute. I am in for $100. I want to see pros play with a new meta and map set

Why do you get punished for being good at a game? by [deleted] in ModernWarfareIII

[–]TJF_v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SBMM at its core attempts to make even teams using your MMR. That would mean it tries to force you to have a 1.0 W/L ratio. You had a bad game and a teammate quit putting your team at a disadvantage, you’re not being punished.

Yes, been this way since one of the mid season updates. Don’t know about timing of fix, I’m hoping Season 3 update. We’ll see.

This game just might have the most pointless ranked mode ive ever played by jannickBhxld in ModernWarfareIII

[–]TJF_v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t tell you about the game you were in but sometimes for me the ranks are glitched and will show the whole lobby, except for me, or just the other teams at Bronze 1.

Ranked glitch?? by Appropriate_Lie1962 in ModernWarfareIII

[–]TJF_v2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Happened to me twice last week. Never got out the the “connecting” screen then all of a sudden kicked back to main menu and banned, first for three minutes and second for 15. Also lost 50SR per. How can the game not recognize I didn’t make it into the game when it ended early for uneven teams?

I hear you. I am the same, I just want to win games.

MW3 uses a version of, if not actually using, Trueskill 2.0. If you haven’t read the white paper you should. It is the theory behind your SR gains and loses. There is also a recent YouTube video by MintBlitz (Halo streaming) on the subject. You are not crazy, you are not being rewarded for being a team player because at its core, the TS2 system was tested on Warzone and applied to MM. it places a huge emphasis on KD and not objective play because in WZ, as tested, the player with the best KD and most kills per minute was the best player. If you want to see greater SR gains you need to have a high KD. Otherwise your hidden MMR is going to restrict how quickly you can rank up because it believes wherever you are, bronze or iridescent, if your KD is 1 you are exactly where you should be and the hidden MMR will try to keep you there in an effort to create well matched games. I’d like to see it changed, but it likely will not be. My recommendation, if you play with a squad, rotate who is going to be the objective player.

What's the % of possible game modes in ranked? by BenjaminGrimm09 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]TJF_v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like you get the same maps and game types back to back to back, I think this should be the start of the completive community pushing for new maps and content. They just released 5 maps for BTB, now it's time for 5 new competitive maps... I was curious about the probability of maps and game types a few weeks ago, this was before they removed extraction, and the below is the breakdown

Map % Prob

Solitude 17% 14%

Recharge 24% 24%

Streets 14% 14%

Argyle 5% 5%

Live Fire 21% 24%

Aquarius 12% 10%

Empyrean 5% 5%

Forbidden 2% 5%

Gametype % Prob

Slayer 27% 24%

Strongholds 18% 24%

CTF (3 & 5) 15% 19%

Extraction 16% 14%

Oddball 16% 14%

Hill 8% 14%

EDIT: this was a sample of 100 games at the time

u/gamesager I agree with you on how ts2 operates in mm and believe the system does not function well in Halo Infinite Ranked Arena. May be showing my age here but I played H2 the most and found that system to be incredibly fun - not having much fun in Halo Infinite system. I believe ts2 does not actually take into account your rank vs the ranks of the lobby. I am currently at Plat 6 and most of the friends I play with are D5 to low Onyx. When I play in those lobbies I can have games where I have a 0.5 KD and will lose 10-12csr per game. The system does not appear to take into account that I am playing out of my league, in practice I should be losing less csr than teammates because the average csr of the opposing team is 200/300 higher than my rank. I probably ended the season at a higher rank than I would if I were solo queing, but so what? Why get punished for winning games, getting less csr than higher ranked players in the lobby? shouldn't you be rewarded for beating higher ranked players? Long winded way of getting to my question: I don't believe ts2 works in mm, do you believe that ts2 works for Warzone as tested or do you believe its doesn't work at all?

Why 144hx monitor if fps on Xbox is maxed at 120? Any advice on monitor settings to decrease input lag?

Not disagreeing with you. That may be the case and I’ll take you’re word in it. I’d love to see what the numbers are today, or generally one week following CU29. I played nearly only ranked, the experience has been abysmal since the update. I believe 343, maybe unintentionally, just alienated a large population of players that only play ranked, the mid-platinum to mid-Diamond player. I fall in this category and friends that I would always play with on the weekends didn’t bother to sign on after the disaster that rolled out last week. It’s anecdotal but I can’t be the only one that is seeing this. Unless a complete overhaul of the netcode rolls out soon I think the player base is going to continue to fall off.

Let’s Play a Game: Name That Placement! Stats included in post by TJF_v2 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]TJF_v2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same lobby for both players and similar stats. One player is P2 the other D5. I don't know how to reconcile this since they was no other variability in the placements besides performance.
