Subject: Why do large parties(4+) get matched up against randoms?

I'm getting frustrated by getting killed by 3 or 4 players at a time, so much so I pretty much exclusively play Rumble Pit or Anniversary FFA. An organised team can destroy the best of players.

People who claim to be 'good' at this game usually hide behind a team and banshee/warthog whore. I never search in a team and shouldn't get punished for it. I'm sure this wasn't the case in Halo 3.



Rant over.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Because Bungie has down syndrome.

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

good players always play with a team of other good players, then they rarely lose a game

lmao stop crying bye

Because not all playlist have big team restrictions like Doubles, Squad, etc.

Most people who are good play in a team, because they're smart enough too realize that playing as a random is the most retarded thing you can do.

Fixed.


343 didn't make the matchmaking system, kid. Bungie, with their infinite stupidity, did.

1: uh duh? something thats organized is always gona be better then something random.
2: because not everyone plays with full teams. it would take longer for the game to pair up full teams with full teams. and its not fair to make them wait when a random can hop into a match in 2 seconds flat.
3: you obviously don't understand anything. people can be good in a team. teams work because everyone has there own individual strengths. "banshee whoring" or any other type of strategy you bash on is legit. it takes preperation and effort to pull them off.
4: your not being punished. your being beat by people better then you and your upset.
5: apparently you didn't play much halo 3. people got matched against full parties all the time.

so basicly your complaining because a good team managed to best you pulling off an effective strategy and instead of complementing them or learning from what they did you decide to come -blam!- on the forum about something that doesn't need to be fixed or addressed because its not a real issue.

rant over.

I played plenty on Halo 3, just on different accounts. There's a reason that full parties don't get put with randoms in Ranked....and that's because it's UNFAIR. A good 'team' player is not necessarily a good individual player. I know I could beat the majority of those who I have lost against 1v1, or even if they searched solo.

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

i used to play alone in ranked an h3 and still got matched with full teams just like i do in reach. nothing has changed. except "ranked" doesn't exist now. so technicly everything is social except MLG and arena.

1v1's don't prove anything. your only looking and playing in one situation. just because you beat someone in a 1v1 doesn't mean your better then them. if anything all it does is boosts ones ego.

It should never be about one persons individual score. the team matters. the objective matters. winning matters. who cares how negitive you are. you helped your team win. thats what halo is about.

if your tired of being matched up against full parties get some friends. make some friends. or deal with it. its not a problem.

Breaking barriers.

Just another side effect of the Reach matchmaking system.

This never happened. If you matched a team, you had to have a team of at least 3 on your side as well.

Squad battle was the only exception due to population issues.

alright. let me go look through my ranked big team. because thats what i played alot and i didn't always have friends playing with me and i still got full teams. granted it doesn't happen as much in reach but it still happened.

  • 12.30.2011 12:20 PM PDT

Lol

That's why every time I see a part of 3 or 4 on the opposite team, I'll just dashboard or sign out, sign in. I'm not dealing with the headaches anymore. So retarded how the matchmaking system works.

Yeah but we blame 343 now for not fixing it.

Why fix a sinking ship?

Well I did play a big team CTF game were the entire opposing team had all ranks of reclaimer and above and they were all in a party. They had all the vehicles in the map and my entire team had an average life span of 30secs or so.

I think I played that same team. Either that or there is another full team I played too much Reach rolling through BTB.

Because it's funny.

I agree. If it's a full team you're gonna be matched up with the game should try to find you parties of 3 or 2 so at least some of your team-mates have some semblance of cohesion.

There's enough players on this game to make better matches.

MLG is not a social playlist. :/ It should work like Halo 3's ranked. There may not be enough people in that playlist to make it happen, but I think we can all agree that it could at least try. I'll wait the extra few seconds if it means my next match will be somewhat fair.
