I enjoy playing Halo 4, but I’m getting a little tired of how any times I’ve been matched with a team of level 130’s (even though rank means nothing) who are a lot more skilled than I am, and all have communication with eachother, and I get paired with random people. It needs to be fixed, because I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of it.
Though I am also an SR-130 (also an above average player) I don’t normally party up with friends on team based gametypes. But I really don’t think players partying up will go away. Also Halo 4’s mediocre matchmaking system will almost always put you in a team of bad players and the other team will be hammering you to pieces or the other way around. So yeah, like many others including myself you’re just going have to deal with it. That’s why I don’t play team based gametypes as much anymore.
Know what you mean crysis, but there’s gotta be a way to fix it. Like, there must be a way for 343 to make it so it can realize what people are in party’s and to match those people up. How to better match people up based on skill. Maybe even update Halo 4 and make it like the Halo reach matchmaking where you can just let the matchmaking choose players for you, or, you can choose whether you want those players you get matched up with are near your skill, talkative (having mics) or how it even had connection speed (i think was the third option).

Maybe they could have some sort of filter to match you up with roughly evenly matched players like they did in Halo 3 and Reach. But I really doubt that 343 will do that with Halo 4. They also have to dedicate their resources for the next Halo on Xbox One.
Well what you could do is get a team and practice a little more if your concerned about getting leveled with 130’s XD

The unbalanced level of competition is a consequence of Halo 4’s diminished population. Halo 4 has seen a 95% drop in population (a peak population of 400,000 at launch to about 20,000 today). The 5% that remain are die hard halo fans and FPS devotees. These folks have played enough Halo 4 to earn a level of 130 almost a year ago, and they keep playing. The bell curve does not apply to this shrinking population. As such, even if 343 were to enable a TrueSkill matching system, it would never work for average and casual players because there are not enough average and casual players remaining.

Play with others, that would fix getting paired up with bk randys
