There are quite a few of really bad players, it's a mix of kids not playing or kids going -10+ and also a few guests and NEW accounts in the playlist!

I mean when I post 15-25 kills in a game, I expect to at least win.

Looks like this playlist will easily be a cake walk when you roll a full party of 4 and you get matched up with randoms.

Sigh......BORINGGGGGGGG

I do use custom searches and I've given up on those. Hopefully later in the afternoon when more people get on I can find some good games and hopefully better teammates, it's just frustrating when someone is AFKing or someone goes -15 with 0 kills.

TruSkill such a fail.

Its day 1 of a new playlist. Everyones "trueskill" is set to 1. Give it a few days for the system to know where you're at and it might help you playing against thumbless opponents.

I'm not really complaining about owning. I don't like to "own" players all the time, I love a good competition. When I get beat or I go negative in a game, I know I did stupid mistakes in game and I accept I get beat when I go in by myself.

I'm not saying I'm all mighty pro or anything but when I watch my teammates put 8 shots into a guy and the other guy turns around and 5 shots him, it's just like "wow, I can't believe you are THAT bad."

It's just mind boggling how stupid this playlist is right now, the jump height is like horrible, and the air lifts on the back of each base on beaver creek are so dumb. You go up the lift and if you walk forward you fall right onto the flag room.

I don't know, right now, I'm not really impressed at all by the maps, they lack flow.

I thought after a year of playing primarily team slayer and squad slayer in Halo Reach that I would go against harder opponents but that never happened. Being in the Anniversary playlist all night it was a breeze, almost as easy as playing any other playlist that I've played hundreds of matches in. I expect months from now it will be just as easy.

I've come to the conclusion no matter what, even if trueskill exists and is doing it's job, reach requires so little skill you barely even have to try to do well.

Agreed 100%. Sadly, I think in months to come, the population in the anniversary playlists is going to be really low and 343i will be scratching their heads trying to figure out where they went wrong. I can tell you, they tried to put a huge band-aid on an already piss poor game.

After this whole "TU Beta" hype, it seems once again, overhyped.

The jump height is just god awful.
