Found this video after searching for what seems like days!! Play the video at around 4:18
Frank O’connor quotes that there will be both regular AND Skill based matchmaking, he also goes on to talk about how you will have loadout restrictions in skill based playlist and even uses team snipers as an example!

yes, but sadly,even though it has been said on numerous occasions (one being just a few days ago). people will be ingorant and disregard this information as false until they get the game. And even then, they will complain on it not being there(frankie said something about it not being on day 1, if I recall. There were still working on it).

They have kept us in the dark this entire time with the ranking system.
Just because he says skill based MM doesn’t mean there will be a skill based ranking system… Reach also had skill based matches figured “behind the scenes” and look how that turned out…

he also said playlists, as in more than one. in which the system would be in place. as well as classic playlists with set loadouts.
Hopefully we get a video soon…
More Info
he is talking about playlists that tailor more towards skill. Not that there will be a visible ranking system or a skill system in the background really.

no one said otherwise about your first point
He said there are going to be a Classic Playlist so for all you people who don’t like the changes and want a classic, guess what its going to be there.
This is an old video. He’s said it multiple times. People just don’t listen and want a definite answer.
Honestly, the sill-based rank system is something we should have known by now.
Again, we’ve all known there is a skill-based system in Halo 4. And again, we still don’t know whether we will see a rank or not that is based on skill, not progression.
We aren’t worried about a skill-based ranking system, we’re worried about visible proof of one, since Reach’s was absolute trash.
Frank says that there will ALSO be skill based match making. He was implying that other than playlist like infinity slayer we will have separate playlist that restrict loadouts to better fit competitive play. We have been begging for ranked playlist forever and now we have a really good chance at getting them and yet SOME of you guys still complain…
So what if you skill isnt visible to anyone but yourself, I’d rather have ranked playlist that gives me an incentive to win and play well. Actually listen to the video and you can tell that Franks implying separate playlist catered to skill and more competitive play.
Reach robbed us of a proper halo experience just be thankful 343i is listening to the community. Even if they don’t make this ranking system the way you want it, the fact is that they care enough to do it.
People need to understand that this in no way means there are ranked playlists or a skill ranking system even. All this means is that there are playlists where trueskill works in the background, i.e. reach, and obviously that didn’t work out so well. Until more details are given everyone has a right to be skeptical, 343 has been beating around the bush whenever asked about this for weeks and has led me to believe that the only thing changing about match making is that true skill will be stricter while only working in the background, which i guess is at least a small step in the right direction.
Frank said that it was still in development (they want to make it as good as they can), we’ll most likely hear details soon after it’s finished.
