So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Trueskill is completely broken, rank means nothing, even full teams usually don't pose a challenge. This game's matchmaking system creates lopsided, uneven matches.

Discuss.

No point now, too late. Reach can rot.

My Connection

What's truly amusing is how regardless of the amount of cool new playlists that Bungie introduces, people always migrate back to the familiar social experience that is Team Slayer. Squad Slayer now has a population lower than that of Arena.

Reach's population is now far too low for trueskill to even be able to work effectively. You can't pick and choose between opponents when there's barely any teams searching to begin with.

Solution: Rename the Arena 'Team Slayer' and remove the current TS playlist. Morons will continue to play it simply because it's called 'Team Slayer', and the competitive community gets a ranked playlist with a population large enough such that trueskill can actually do its job.

Win-Win*

*Well, almost. Armour-Lockers will have to go to BTB and vote for Slayer in order to function correctly.

Or Stockpile, but nobody votes for that terrible, terrible gametype.

And I suppose it's true, if the Arena had as high a population as TS, everybody would be happier. And everybody finds fair matches, win-win.

@Boomdeyadah: So negative :( but I have high hopes for H4, 343 can use Reach for whatever they want as far as I'm concerned

Just being honest, there is no point of making any ranked playlists now.

True, Reach is dead beyond the point of revival. But even with a higher population, matches like the one in the OP would still happen. Whatever they did to incorporate trueskill, it didn't work at all.

Or...add SWAT, MLG, ect to Arena. Also change default movement and remove AAs.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Perhaps because he doesn't care about losing due to not having any ranked playlists?

Derp a herp.

343 already said they aren't adding any, so there isn't any more point in discussing it.
