Okay, so I’m pretty sure that this trueskill thing is absolutely ruining halo for me. I don’t want to say that I’m the best at swat or anything but I’m better than many. Trueskill however has made swat extremely challenging which I love, but since it counts as team slayer whenever I go and play team snipers it groups me with people who are awesome at it when I’m just average at Team Snipers. The Problem is that it counts Team slayer, SWAT, and team snipers as the same thing in trueskill, which is okay for slayer as I am barley above average, and is great for SWAT as it makes every game challenging. The only problem is that it makes team snipers impossible. I would say that I’m in the middle of the playing field when it comes to snipers but it is by far my favorite game mode and trueskill is ruining it.
Is anybody else experiencing this problem?
Not sure if trolling, or…
But in case you aren’t, I understand the feeling of just dominating a game, pumping your K/D with Spartan grade heroin, and watching your multi-kill medals multiply like flies. BUT there’s something really fun about being in a match in which the teams are evenly matched. Your drive to win increases along with your skill, basically.
That’s the thing, I want the game to be competitive, but instead it’s making team snipers a game of me getting my -Yoink- kicked because it matches me with the top 5 percent of players due to my swat games.
Where is the proof that true skill is shared across all slayer gametypes. Maybe you just suck at team snipes.
Because I can go play on reach right now and do good. I’m above average. I’m getting matched with gods, like I am at swat.

That’s not his point. They’re different playlists. The TrueSkill should not encompass three egregiously different playlists as the same.
Which is why…we need visible ranks. The 1-50 system works like a charm. This whole hidden skill thing is crap.
I feel your pain. I can usually go positive K/D on Slayer/SWAT, but throw me in a Snipers game and I get r*ped. It’s not fun and makes me feel completely useless to my team, so I guess I just have to avoid that playlist - which is not what a game developer wants to hear.
Of course this would be solved if they simply had a different rank for each playlist and not just for game types.

Visible ranks wouldn’t help in this situation because it would show everyone with very similar ranks. Seeing someones visible rank of 30 tells you nothing. They could have earned that by playing Team Slayer exclusively, but it would still pair them with other players ranked 25-35 even if they have never even tried a game of Snipers.

That’s why the ranks he is suggesting are different in every ranked playlist. You can be a 40 in slayer and a 10 in snipers.
EXACTLY!

Obviously I was referring to the Halo 2 or 3 ranking system where you are a different rank in each playlist. You must have started playing Halo at Reach.
I feel you bro . I go 0-5 in slayer and swat . First ( and only ) game of snipers I went -7 . And no I don’t suck I would always go positive in reach .
