You make such a big deal about needing this "SKILL GAP"!


Then in the same breath you talk about wanting even matches.

What is it? MAKE UP YOUR -blam!- MINDS!



I'll bite to that.

Higher skillgap + tighter trueskill = better matches for e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e.
That includes the more competitive looking players as well as the occasional thumbless random.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

EEEEEHHHHH!! Wrong!

Higher skillgap = One sided matches.

Nothing more... nothing less.

Any ranking system you come up with, can be circumvented. Making it almost worthless to even include in the equation.


Hey, I got this idea.
It's a push towards the attempt to make every match "feel" like the skill levels are just about even regardless of peoples actual skill levels.


You know what it is?

It's called putting the better players in check and raising the difficulty for them. Instead of handing wins to them via a silver plater. (Killstreaks, Zero Bloom)

Do any of you "Skill Gap"er's play on Legendary difficulty?
WHY?!?!?!?!

Then why the -blam!- would you -blam!- so much about something as insignificant as Bloom and Armor Abilities?


Bloom is basically, stimulating the difficulty for you.
So that stomping on noobs doesn't become a bore fest.
Armor Lock, is the same form of stimulation.

The only part where it failed. Is it gave you the option to use those "Crutches" as well.

IF you ask me, anyone who's pulling near 2.0+ K/D ratios w/ 75%+ or better W/L during games, needs to be put in check. If your pulling 3.0+ K/D's and 90% wins. How the -blam!- do you get off in -blam!-ing about anything? Obviously the difficulty in multiplayer is not high enough for you.

Competitive: "It's perfectly OK to let the AI have advantages to challenge my AWESOME SKILLS!!! I pick legendary difficulty because I'm a Halo GOD!!!! But -blam!- human players. If they suck and can't challenge me, leave it be, so I can pad my K/D on them while jerking off to the controller vibrations!"

Even if you are pulling a 1.5, you obviously are not being challenged by the rest of the players out there on the internet. Time to up the difficulty on you. Since we can't gaurantee people won't cheat whatever ranking system we create... what option is left?

CoD deserves a mention.. simply because of how much gamers CRIED about deathstreaks!

Hey I just went 7-0.. give me a reward that lets me hide in a corner and kills everything for me! Oh WHAT?!! you're going to give people who suck ballz 'painkiller'?!?!?!? OMG!!!!

You people and your -blam!- skill gap, is basically the same -blam!- stupidity as the Killstreak/Deathstreak argument.




The perfect FPS game...is gonna take a player that goes 30-0 and -blam!-s all over him make to make him go 30-15 instead. Thats what you call catering the difficulty to the player.

If it was really up to me. Anyone who's been sitting in a banshee all game flipping over spawns. Would have the banshee just randomly explode out from under him. If your opponents are incapable of doing it. The game should do it.


It's better to have games go 49-50 as oppsed to a 10-50 scenario. Even if the game had to artificially stimulate the "skill gap" to do so.

Bloom was nothing, it had about the worth of a .25 in terms of a stimulus package.

That would be the case, if you take "increase the skillgap alone".


I didn't bother reading anything else as it's probably your usual "competitves sucks, I know everything and dedicated servers is the answer to the universe".


Again, higher skillgap + tigher trueskill = better matches for everyone.

Good match Good
Average meets Average
Thumbless derps around thumbless.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

TL:DR
The higher a persons K/D, W/L Ratios, the more the games should -blam!- that player by lowering their maximum shields, health, ammo reserves, ability to drive vehicles or use certain power weapons, etc. The list goes on with the amount of -blam!- you can do the stimulate the difficulty for players.

Trueskill doesn't work.

Because guess what?

You can't have dumbasses who are too impatient to wait up to 5 minutes for a match to properly match while having tighter truskill.

You people would cry to much about how long it takes to find matches.That's why Halo doesn't match teams vs teams. IF all of Halo was team vs team... Trueskill MIGHT WORK! BUT THAT IS COMPLETEY OPPOSITE OF THE TRUTH!

Let's use a little bit of made up math.

75% of the players on Halo are Solo players
25% of players on Halo are Team Players

Now apply truskill to the 25%

How much of that 25% do you think is going to reach the upper echelons of trueskill? Maybe half?

So your left with 12.5% of the community to match up against if you tighten up truskill.

The tighter you make it.... the worse it gets.

How long are you willing to wait to get into a match?

You want the truth.


I troll



Remember kiddos, trolls "win" when you feed them.
Let the starve and die.


I bit to your "conversation" to see what you had to say, if anything was new at all, but all you do is spatter your usual uneducated "guesses".


Good night to you.

Think about it.

Truskill was meant for teamplay. Tournament play.
That's what it's designed for.

You are playing with or against randoms on the internet.

There is NO REASON whatsoever. To treat these matches like they have anything of worth to record or reward people for. Unless its something funny.

IF you can't keep a mental note to yourself how well your doing... well that's too bad. Don't ask for my pity when you get alzheimers when your older because you were too lazy to track your own damn numbers.
