You guys probably get more threads like these than Kakarot's power level, but eh, I still feel like ranting.
Your matchmaking system is -blam!-. It is literally impossible to have an even mediocre team, because 9/10 of the time, I'm pitted with sergeant grade 2-warrant officer levelled retards. Most of them are squeaking little -blam!-s who cry for their moms every time I steal a DMR they wanted. The other team just happens to be a bunch of max ranks, or close to -blam!- max ranks, who all happen to be in one -blam!- party. In a time when none of my friends are online and I just want to play a few matches solo, I run into these more often than how many people there are in China. It's the reverse when I'm in a big party myself, it seems you're hardwired for -blam!- lopsided matches.
Also, even if I set my preferences to 'good connection', there's no way in hell I'm gonna find a -blam!- match without 16 blackscreens. Last -blam!- game I had restarted the entire match because of a half hour blackscreen that the wonderful god that is the CEO of Bungie decided to slap across my face, right as I was about to win a match, and when the blackscreen finally -blam!- left, half my team was gone while the other team was still 6 strong. We got -blam!- wrecked.
Also, please add the title update changes to Invasion, I'm tired of my needle rifle's bloom going haywire every time I fire a single shot, I have to waste an entire -blam!- clip on a doucher with no shields while he downs me with a -blam!- plasma repeater.
Bungie, I doubt I'll play any more Halo. Hopefully 343 will have a better matchmaking system in Halo 4, cuz the current one is complete and under bull-blam!- mixed in with dog puke and Justin Bieber's hair.
Whelp, I'm done with my epic rant. Love you all, hopefully I'll get Hero rank before I quit.
The only issue I have with your post is that Bungie hasn't had any control over any matchmaking for any Halo for almost a full year now. Ever since July 2011, it has all been in the hands of 343 Industries, and they refuse to get dedicated servers for Reach (or even Halo 3 for that matter), hence you get black screened.
I agree with the matchmaking being messed up completely. If you ever float over to the Waypoint Forums, they are awash in people who are Halo stalwarts/veterans who are extremely unhappy with how 343 is changing the matchmaking (lets remove Squad Slayer, and add in another Slayer that's all but identical to Team Slayer and pimp it out like it's completely different... even though there is nothing different about it).
But 343 refuses to listen.
Other than the company you named, you nailed it on the head, OP. 343 tweaked the True Skill matchmaking system that runs behind the scenes, and now you will get matched up with/against people who are nowhere near your skill level. Either above or below.
Now, I'm not trying to say that I'm a great Halo player. Far from it. But I love Halo and I love to have fun. But 343 is actively working to take any fun that remains in Halo and eviscerating it.
I do not have a good feeling about Halo 4... it almost seems like 343 is trying to turn Halo into CoD... and that's just a blasphemy I don't even care to think about.
