Lol

I must say, I never thought having a new account would change anything. And I was so wrong to think that way. The problems associated with the bad are invisible. The game is no longer strict and gives a sense of freedom that my old account over time no longer presented. I"m actually enjoying the game again instead of getting pissed off every single match. For those that are tired of players abusing the game's faulty mechanics for easy wins, I must consider making a new account. And making a 1 month gold account is free, just make a new account for xbox live on the dashboard and it will give you 1 month free. Trust me friends, you won't regret this decision.

So you were tired of playing against good players and are enjoying beating 8 year olds who are always negative?

Only bad kids enjoys beating worse bad kids.

Difference between good players and playing against a full team of good players. Ranking system should force teams to only play against other teams. Making the new account escapes this problem until true-skill realizes where you belong.

Play with a team yourself. Playing with a team isn't abusing the system.

No it isn't, but the matchmaking system should prioritize equality and fairness to create the most competitive matches possible. Not focus solely on speed of finding matches. And I wish I could, but most of my friends until now hate playing with me because they would always play against good players. Now, they are happy and so am I.

Play fair & have fun

While I agree that the MM system should match up even teams to create a fair playing field, I have had it happen to me, primarily in BTB (shocking), where my team, all random players, is against a full party.

That said, creating a new account to avoid that situation is only a temp. solution. Its sort of like taking a pain killer for a pain that you have that never goes away, eventualy you will have to take another (another new account), then another, and another, ect. to keep the pain at bay, so really is it worth it in the long run?

Atleast Reach's matchmaking does a fairly good job of balance among the teams, while CoD for example focuses COMPLETELY on speed.
(and for someone who hasn't played any CoD for more than a little bit, I'm so far behind that it is hard to jump in now and have fun if I'm playing with people who have played ridiculous amounts.)
