What the -blam!- is wrong with matchmaking. I always get the worst 3 team mates on the list. I go positive and they go like -10. Why the -blam!- is that? And the other team have normal players. Why the hell I HAVE to lose 9 times in row so I could win once???

Find teammates who are good at the game. If you go into MM alone you are bound to find players who are not so good, and some who are good.

In your case, it's the former, and that's why you should make some friends good at the game.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Because the alleged TrueSkill system (I honestly doubt that it exists in this game, despite there being numerous claims to the contrary) is a joke.

Precisely why a proper ranking system is needed.

This seems to happen to me the vast majority of my games going in solo. I think "trueskill" matches the best with the worst on one team and mediocre on the other. Second accounts make the situation even worse.
