What drug was Bungie on when they made the Halo 3 matchmaking system?

Yes, this is a serious question.

Yes, I know the game was broken from the start.

Yes, we all know it the MM system sucks.

All this we know. But somebody was seriously smokin some super sticky herb when they thought of it.

Also the only thing to fear is fear itself and spiders

if you don't like the ranking system go play call of duty
nobody is forcing you to play halo....

the ranking system is at times bad put you just have to get your sigma lower and you will rank up faster...

COD is no better. Thats the huge problem with halo 3. Once you screw up your sigma you face people that are so much better than you it's extremely hard to win.

Bungie did not create the Truskill system, Microsoft did. Please do your research before complaining.

Before you complain and say "BUNGIE, LIEK WTF DID U THINK OF WITH TRUUSKIL?!??!!?!!1

Microsoft made Bungie use it. Bungie had no say in that.

Blame Microsoft.

1. Probably perk-up drugs so they could stay up making the game as good as possible for their fans
2. No, since I'm sure you don't believe they were actually on drugs
3. "Broken" is an opinion
4. No, we don't "all know" that matchamking system sucks. Many actually like it.
5. Yes, win 12 games to rank up and lose one to rank down. It measures skill.

/End retaliation.

nonono, you've got it all wrong. bungie was not smoking nearly enough weed when they made halo 3. it's a good thing they hotboxed their studio through the ventilation system for reach though.

Totally forgot about that. But still drugs were still involved when that ret*rd said "hey, lets use trueskill system."

There is no skill in me "colonel" facing 3 generals and a captain who is clearly getting a 50 in a few games. I got my 45 on my other gt "A Land Pirate" no problem and still don't face anyone higher than a 46 on that account.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

Irony.

What did it take you?Like three years to finally get ONE 50 after all this time?

It was probably a "suggestion" from Microsoft for it to reach Release status. Luckily, Trueskill is now augmented with bungie's personal touch, and should work much better after some initial data is collected on everyone.

What does having a 50 have to do with anything?

I haven't improved since I got my 50, I just hardly played Team Slayer.

Yet another thread crying about Truskill. It's not even Bungie's system it's Microsoft's. Get over yourself.

True, Microsoft do provide the trueskill framework however bungie did customize it when fitting it to H3. This bungie document does explain their objectives, the march 2007 one in the same folder describes some of the internal objectives (WayBackMachine is great for finding those now hidden gems).

And black from the past, WBM look back into 2003 via this version of bungie.net from the same year. (and the release price in 2003, "you can get a shiny new copy of the game for a mere $29.99" ... what value!!)

And a sign that the more things change the more they stay the same, loved the comment about "water annimation into halo 3", kinda reminds me of water focus in reach.
Obviously thirsty work being a game developer ;)

No, it's easier to get higher ranks on new accounts.

If it was easy to rank up...there would be no challenge to the game. Halo 3 matchmaking makes you prove over and over again that you're worthy of ranking up.
