hi all its J Master Xp here :P
(if you want to go straight to my "SOLUTION" i suggest you skip the paragraph below,but i would read it anyway)
ive been looking at the halo 3 optimatch forum for a while now and have noticed a considerable amount of negitive response to the "trueskill system".to be honist with you all i think the system is a load of poo :)
and because of the true skill it has created a thing known as a "second account" because of "rank locks" witch bungie refuse to fix...this is coming from a person who has never started a new account,and is a colnol grade 2..im currently stuck at 43,needing to win 3+games just to go up one skill...

but yes i think everyone gets the point that i dont like the trueskill system and neither do others...

so heres my SOLUTION
i think in games you should get put with players that have played around the same amount of games as you..this would completely elimenate 2nd accounters from getting up easly without playing at leat 1000 games witch would practicly turn the "2nd account" into a "sort of main" account witch would help the halo community epicly.this would thus end the unfair games that people get(e.g:lt,lt,cap,serg vs lt,lt,colnol,brig).and ofcourse im talking about matchmade games,otherwise people would just play custom games like crazy(not saying i wouldent love that :D).

so tell me what you think and try and keep the thread alive guys!-thanks for reading

I can't see Trueskill being eliminated. I could imagine a hybrid where players are matched based on a combination of Trueskill and the number of games played.

If Bungie also removed visible ranks, which would eliminate the need for extra ranked playlists, there would be a larger number of people playing in each of the "standardized" playlists which would mean wait times for matchmaking shouldn't be significantly increased by the need to match on 2 different parameters.

It sounds like a good idea but for Example lets say my party only together and have played 25 games and never lose and usually win by 15 kills and we have played the same amount of games as a bunch of people that suck it would make the matching unfair and unbalanced

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

I like the idea, but how would it work with parties?

A lot of people make second accounts to sandbag beginners to boost their stats. Your system would doom the beginners to about 1000 games of hell before the 2nd accounter starts playing people around his abillity level.
