Really? Full party of 50’s vs randoms (i.e. me and some other solo searchers) with CSR’s around 20’s. 343, why is this happening? I know this is a social playlist but seriously?
There’s so few players on Halo 4, that the game has to throw people together, just to start a game…
If roving teams of 50’s had to wait for other teams of 50’s to be able to play, they would have to wait all day.
True, but there has to be enough players in the 35-50 range to be able to match? It just seems like this is happening more and more often.
There should be a +/- 15 CSR cap in place to prevent this. I don’t think people with 50’s should be punished for being good, but they do deserve better opponents.
Unfortunately, this is what happens when you wait too long with implementing Competitive Skill Rank…
Matching people up is based on true skill not CSR.
I’m only CSR 22 and went into a game with randoms who were CSR 12 and CSR 2 respectively. We got matched against 3 CSR 50s and a 42 and it was quite clear they had a good grasp of the spawning system (credit to them, I don’t begrudge them for knowing the finer points of the game). Needless to say, it didn’t go well. There aren’t enough people playing the game unfortunately. I’m sure everybody here can think of a few reasons why…
> Matching people up is based on true skill not CSR.
Really? Is that why I get matched with a lot of teams and players in CTF with around 2.0 k/d ratios, while mine is 1.25? Pretty sure CSR plays a big part.
I actually wonder if the developers look at the implementation of CSR as a reason NOT to bother with tightening the skill gap ranges.
“If we put a bunch of 40’s against 15’s, we won’t move the 40’s up much for winning, or the 15’s down much if the expected results happen, and just think of how far the 15’s will go up if they WIN!!! Brilliant!”
of course that never happens, and the 15’s get pounded, and can’t advance their Commendations because they can’t win…
I used to think the population drop didn’t matter that much but here is where it really affects people. I’ve lost 1 or 2 games of Infinity Slayer out of my last 50.
I’m 39 in Rumble Pit, 40 in Regicide, 40 in Infinity Slayer, 44 in Big Team IS and I very rarely see people with high CSRs in ANY playlist. Actually in Rumble Pit I see more people at decent CSR than anything else but IS and BTIS almost never. I’m not going to sit around for 15 minutes plus just to find a game. Match me against anyone - I really don’t care who I play but I can see how people don’t like matching us when everyone is 35+.
