So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

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

T4R.

This game is so broken it's not even funny. Discuss.

I didn't say I don't like the game, I just pointed out that Trueskill doesn't work. Reach is still a good game, it's just not a good Halo game.

Playing with people you can talk to greatly raises the enjoyment of the game.

This what happens when you prioritize match times over trueskill accuracy.

I've seen you around the forums. You like to complain a lot about, truth be told.

Reach gives me a lot of things to complain about. I'm not saying it's a bad game, don't take it that way.

And this makes me :'(

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Trueskill never works in a 100% social game.

There aren't enough to smart not ground shooting players to make a challenge for party searchers.

I've only ever had two close game in all my games of Halo 3 and Reach where it felt like it matched people of even skill level. This will probably never change.

Look at his stats. 10 total games played in the playlist. Therfore he has no trueskill rank defined yet. Since thats the case Trueskill gives everyone a "25/50" if they suck, eventually it will go down.

Thats why you are playing him. That in combination with small population numbers cuasing unbalanced matches.

Its not Microsofts fault this game can't support its system.

You're right, especially with such a small population. I should have defined more clearly that I'm talking about trueskill as it applies to Reach, not xbox as a whole.

I knew you were. I was just saying it for the sake of taking the piss out of this game some more. It's why I stick to the MLG playlist out of preferance. Yeah, sometimes you play retards, but hell. I search alone in that playlist. It offers a good challange. If I go neg, it happens.

Sorry, I'm, starting to ramble. Christmas drinks.

Anyways. Reach splits its population far too much. Remove some clutter. Add some ranks. True skill can start working a tad better.

Yeah, I know what you mean. And I haven't really searched MLG yet, I can't find a party that wants to and I hate searching as a random.

Make new friends. Seriously. Not to sound like an ass, but most BTB kids won't touch MLG. I've played with a few of them. It was laughable. However there are some that are actually great at it.

They know who they are.

Regardless. Add people, get rid of some of the stat whores on your F/L.

I've been trying, I deleted 40+ people from my FL over the past few days (used to have 100, now down to about 60). It's hard to meet good people, I joined FT and I'm not sure how else to go about it.

Add me.

I did the same. I just go around the MLG forums looking for custom lobbies.

Alright, I sent you a FR. Much appreciated :)

The game not prioritizing skill levels when finding matches is the problem, not trueskill being broken.

  • 12.24.2011 11:29 PM PDT

I sometimes think Halo 3 Social gave better matches, when I get some very unbalanced matches in Reach..
