I miss the days when match after match was fun because of people being paired up against players of similar skill. Teams had to actually try to rank up, and if they lost they would rank down. Now everyone wins even if they don’t try. I’m debating on weather to buy or not the new Halo i gues it will depend on if they bring back the 1-50 ranking system or not. I know that’s what would bring me and my friends back to halo since they feel the same way. it is not fun to win and win and win against unskilled people match after match, please make it more challenging.
That’s the fault of Bungie making the trueskill system having a more broader search in Competitive Playlists when compared to Arena. The Player Investment system, otherwise known as the Credit system, has nothing to do with how players are paired up.
To fix that, 343i needs to get on the ball and get the system to pair people up with people they should be playing with. I am with you on the need of a better matchmaking system, but don’t accuse the reward system. Even that is getting tweaked in Halo 4.
Someone’s never played Counter Strike…
Halo has always had skill attached to it, and it still does. Halo 4 is being designed with competitive in mind, and with MLGs recent visit to 343 being a positive one, I don’t think the hardcore have anything to worry about. Personally, I wish they could ditch TruSkill and go back to the Elo ranking system. But this is probably not going to happen.
No matter what they do with ranked, I guarantee if you’re looking hard enough you can find a good place to get your game on with similarly-skilled players.
Nostalgia gas makes past look much brighter than it really was…
I’m not blaming the reward system I believe it is cool to buy armor and staff but I’m sure that reward experience could coexist whit real skill. But keep them separated don’t confuse skill whit experience.
