Re: Halo 2 Matchmaking: Setting a precedent

In Response To: Re: Halo 2 Matchmaking: Setting a precedent (Th3-Re4p3r) : If they had used the traditional OptiMatch system, I think it would have : worked out better. Sure maps would be overplayed, now that I've played : most of the maps I can truly say I would not play only one map: : Foundation. Whoever thought that 2 rocket launchers was a good idea was : wrong, especially when one team has both. I love the party system, it : makes everything easier. The problem with H2 is the skill curve is so : small. It's all about who has the better guns now. That, I think takes the : fun factor out of it significantly. I get really irritated when I die : because I don't have 2 SMGs, and then I lose rank to lower level players : because they dual wield more than I do. The matchmaking system makes me : more frustrated than I have ever been at a videogame. I shout and curse as : much as the rest of you during LAN parties, but God, Halo 2 is annoying. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to guess that you are pretty darn good at video games, and were probably pretty good at Halo. I suspect that people who were on the other end of the "skill curve," those people who got their asses handed to them on XBox Connect for instance, probably appreciate being matched up with more comparable people. (I'm not sure what your point is about losing rank to lower level players because they dual wield more than you do. Shouldn't you be, according to you, basically playing people who are about as good as you are? Plus, why don't you dual wield when appropriate?)

pretty sad, really...
