It was this community that complained about the 1-50 ranking system being too easy/hard, too easy to manipulate, caused too many cheaters,unfair, etc.
Well Bungie actually listened(for once), and they added this credit system with "hidden trueskill matchmaking" and Arena.
Now the Arena system was something that many players did not understand, many thought that the 3 best rated games ( or whatever it is now ) were the only games that affected your division placement. A lot of players lost the passion to win and strive to achieve level 50.
The hidden trueskill system definitely does not do a good job of creating fair games as many times a person who just got the game can be matched against a person who has won almost all their 1000+ games played. There really isn't denying this, any one who has played matchmaking enough knows that most matches are unbalanced as far as teams go.
Now there isn't really much incentive to win and improve in Reach as in other Halo games and the population numbers show it. I'm sure the ranking system isn't the only factor for the low numbers but I'm quite confident that it had a large impact.
Anyways, I never thought in my life I would create a thread in this forum this long, but next time think twice before giving input because you may be ruining the game for many others.
I'm too lazy too add anymore to this thread but hopefully you got the point of this.
