I really hope Bungie improves on Matchmaking. It was a good idea with lots of flaws. Here are the things they need to include to make it worth while.

* Only balanced maps. All maps should be symetrical. Perfectly symetrical. There should also be no distracting art work as that just takes away from the competition.

* Only balanced weapons. That means the BR, the sniper rifle and needlers.

* No grenades as they are only for cheap kills.

* Spawning needs to be perfectly balanced. In fact, every tie someone spawns no kills should be allowed by anyone for 5 secs. This is the only way to make it fair.

* Rank should be hidden except for legit really good players. That should take care of cheating.

* You should be able to set special matching requirements. As in no non-Americans or no little kids or no creepy old guys.

* The highest ranked player on each team should be the leader and be able to give commands to other players.

* No vehicles as they take no skill.

* Only slayer playlist, as none of the other playlists are balanced. People can play them in custom if they want.

* Only for clans. This would solve the problem of no one playing clan match. If everyone was forced to play clan matches, the playlist would get a lot of action.

* The leader should have the ability to boot any player on his team. The game would freeze and a replacement player would be brought in. This would also happen when people quit.

I'm really not sure what to say.....

Unbalanced maps are fun for certain gametypes like 1 flag and assult. Pretty much all the weapons have pros and cons, and even the BR is unbalanced in a way.

Actually, pretty much every one of those points you have are pathetic.

"I'm hungry..."

This is quite possibly the DUMBEST post/topic that I have ever had the misfortune to lay eyes on. Very few of those ideas even make sense, let alone are any good...

Bad. Bad AshWalker...

Also the highest rank player should automatically get the sniper rifle. Either that or the youngest player by age.

* Both teams should have the same color armor so it is fair. Either black or pink. One or the other.

  • 07.07.2006 11:25 AM PDT

Implement the True Skill ranking system into H3. The present system in H2 pits you against much better or worse players in each MM depending on the gametype and not your actual skill level as was originally intended.

Create a quick and simple way to disable proximity voice or mute entirely.

Weapons in MP should match weapons in SP, such as the Plasma Sword.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I think that if they implemented those changes in the game, they'd have to change the name of the games to Pink and Black Grunt Wars, and have it made by Activision or something. Those ideas do not cover any of what is really wrong with MM.

Lovely. Just Lovely.

My suggestion for Matchmaking is to take out carbines, BR's, swords, and magnums, and replace them all with Needlers, Plasma Pistols, and Brute-shots.

i think he ment to de noobitize the br and sniper. i agree with this, but slayer the only fair one? i think its the least, heres the strategy:

1.get noob weapons
2. say own3d even tough ur using an overpowered weapons plus camping.

fun?
objectives make more sense and are more entertaining

the only thing wrong with matchmacking, is having two level 34 on the other team and the highest player on your team is a 32

Intresting

Strategy for objective games:
* get "noob" weapons
* say own3d even though you're using an "overpowered" weapon plus camping

weird...

I pretty much agree with everyone else. I don't like or want a single idea you posted. Go play custom games.
