Respawn: When "balancing" is an foreign word...

"The matchmaking is a joke and makes the whole thing a game of chance"

But here's the thing. This^ is the ugly truth that nobody has ever wanted to talk about since the first competitive multiplayer fps went live on the internet. It isn't a new phenomenon at all, it's just that it has got a lot worse as the games themselves have become more complex with much higher skill-ceilings. But I'm here to tell you right now that some of what you accomplished rank-wise in Halo 2 had to do with your skill. And a lot of it had to do with the skill, or lack, of the three other people you got matched up with. And that matchmaker, while slightly better than Respawn's, was still not very good. And don't even try to play off-peak, or during the launch of some other major new game, or on a Friday before holiday weekend in a month containing the end of a lunar cycle when Saturn is in opposition....
