In Response To: Re: 'Random' power weapon drops in Halo 4 (RC Master) : Contrary to popular belief, Matchmaking cannot and will not solve all ills. : Online, you cannot ensure that new players won't go up against experienced : players: day 1 you have basically no information. New gamertags, new : playlists. Moments of low population or in sparsely populated areas. : If you mean beginning by matching new players at the lower end of the skill : spectrum (a la Halo 3) then that's no good. You can get good at the game : without ever entering MM - in campaign, in customs. And you have to grind : out games to show that even though you're new to MM, you're not a bad : player. Always having to play against people's who's skills are greatly in : excess of your own when you're a known low-skill player is a horrible : experience as well, even if you have managed to learn where the weapons : are. : It is more sound to match new players closer to the middle of the skill : spectrum so the maximum possible skill difference is less. : Of course, because of the knowledge gap, new players often still lose a lot : to more experienced, but equally skilled players. : BTW, it's 'TrueSkill.' Frankie: "You cannot start with snipers whenever you want. (unless you are playing a sniper mode) The weapon drops are not "random." They are telegraphed and in some ways, predictable. There is variation, however. Map control will still be key, but yes, changed. Custom games will be heavily customizeable, and initial playlists will be clean and focused. Players will not be presented with stacksof lists, but there will be variety for different tastes. "
