Is their any chance at all of an intelligent skill based matchmaking system coming into effect anytime soon? I'm not a troll or anything (considering my post count) but the only thing that i can complain about till the end of time in this amazing game is the awful team balancing issues. A couple of nights ago i decided to join a random lobby and all was good, first game our team defeated the enemy in overtime and it was really close but after that it decided to pair me who was top of our team and a guy named lamontbell1 (who i actually recognised from a youtube video) who was top of their team and for about 13 games we kept getting paired up and we just kept crushing the opposing team within 4-5 minutes. It was no fun because every game the entire enemy team would end up leaving one by one and it really bugged me that it just wouldn't split us up. This is just one instance though... I watch a ton of Monday Night Combat videos on youtube and the commentators i watch casually make jokes about team balancing and match making. this for example I'm not a troll though and i'm not trying to nit-pick because honestly MNC is the best game i've played since CoD4 back in 2007 and the only game in which i'm proud to play because it's so well made and the ongoing support for the game after release is just awsome but sadly this is one thing which seems to ruin a well made game. It's not all bad though because me and lamontbell1 play together all the time now after that session
It's a nice dream but everyone honestly complains about this in every other game. I can't think of a game where skill based matchmaking made sense (though I remember reading blog posts on Bungie about Halo and its trueskill). I support it but don't know if there's a precedent of it actually ever working.
"TruSkill" is a Microsoft thing and is in every Xbl Multiplayer game. Halo's version is just more refined and all.
I can testify to the fact that Halo's matchmaking is pretty solid. When I ask for players who are similar in skill, they come pretty close. Also, this has been asked for in at least a dozen posts in this section alone. Chances are we will see some sort of fix when the next DLC and/ or update comes out
