I just got matched up with team mates that simply didnt have the same amount of skill as me or the enemy players, to be honest I think my opponents were at my skill level instead of my own team. I dont want to sound boastful, I know I’m not elite and majorly amazing at this game, but I still want to at least have a close match instead of getting wrecked by the enemy team while my teammates fumble around with their controllers. Wish they would have a good Matchmaking system but I guess not…
It basically is, I rarely get games where the teams seem to be balanced. Matches seem to end in blow outs. One team dominates the other is dominated.
The good players tend to prefer each other or party up though. It’s a lot harder playing as a lone wolf. You have to take some negative k/ds some games.
if you are good and have a team that isnt good, you arent going to play well. without a good support team, you’ll be getting shot at by the enemy team much more, and have a harder time picking up kills. the trueskill system needs to go. or atleast have a ranked playlist.
Yea I’m constantly going positive in all my games (I think I have a +1,000 k/d spread idk) but yea being a lone wolf I guess you do have to take a few bad ones, wish they would improve it though.
Well maybe in 4, because it’s hard to be Competitive in Infinity Slayer to be honest.
Looking at your recent games history, it’s been matching you pretty close (+/- 5 to your CSR). Where it might be causing issues is the fact the Majestic playlist was removed, and re-added, resetting everyones Trueskill for that playlist.

Yea look at my most recent game, I think it was just a little unfair. And when I say a little I mean I had one person playing with me who had 4 kills while I got my -Yoink- handed to me by the other team who’s players were obviously of a better skill level than my team.
Yea if your playing Majestic there’s a lot of good players still ranking up so its pretty tough in there atm.
Trueskill does not work at all. CSR does not work either. This game has no skill searching.
the search system will try to find you players of similar skill but will often give up in order to find you a match within a ‘reasonable’ amount of time.
unfortunately more often than not the latter takes place because the population is so low. (if more people were playing, the system would have more opportunities to match you up with similar players before this particular search restriction times out and starts searching for any available players instead)
how much time it spends trying to find similar players is an variable set by 343. In Halo 3’s ranked playlists this value was set to infinite, So the system would never give up and would only ever match you with players of +/- 10 you skill no matter how long it took.

With Majestic being a clean slate CSR-wise, and it having only been re-added yesterday, you’re going to run into a few matches/players like that because there isn’t enough data/games played for the system to put everyone in their proper place yet. Also, as mentioned above, the system is going to do it’s best to match you accordingly, but once it hits a certain limit, it will just lump you in with whoever. As mentioned in the most recent Bulletin, they are keeping an eye on this to make sure it works properly.
Yeah the Trueskill/CSR is kinda shaky. It seems like people I face are either terrible, or way better than I am. Not much middle ground.
I think matchmaking should take into account your highest CSR rank overall, rather than just your CSR for the playlist you’re searching in. Someone who is a level 10 in the Majestic playlist may be a 50 in another, so chances are, that person will be far better than most other people in the lobby.
After the newest update, it seems to be working great for me, actually. I’ve gotten matched with people where I had to actually try really hard to win. I’ve had games where they were obviously around my skill level, and I barely won.
CSR is a joke on the individually scored playlists. It may actually work on the playlists where its based on team win/loss.
