Something smells fishy...
Posted by: RustBandit
I don't think adding matchmaking features would help increase the population. PC gamers have never really cared for matchmaking systems anyway. Matchmaking tends to over complicate things, in my opinion.
I can still find decent games online when I go on to play. The game's population will decrease over time, that's just how it is.
Yes I agree that adding matchmaking features would not increase the population. But it might bring the current population closer together. Players would be able to meet who have not met before.
I believe the decrease of population size is causing the population to polarize. Players tend to play on servers that they are familiar with; thus polarization. So if matchmaking becomes an integral part of Halo: Combat Evolved PC then the population could consolidate.
This is all really hypothetical. I don't believe matchmaking will become an integral part of Halo: Combat Evolved PC. I just like contemplating the many possibilities of how things could be different.
Rough draft: list of hypothetical matchmaking features
1) The ability to select game variants.
- Select map
- Select game type (Slayer, CTF, King...etc.)
- Select weapon set (Classic, normal, Human...etc.)
- Select grenade set (Normal or Infinite)
- Select vehicles to be available (Warthog(s), Banshee(s), Tank(s)...etc.)
2) Instant message style chat.
3) Voice chat.
