As I mentioned in the other thread...

Its called matchmaking for a reason. The halo matchmaking system takes rank, skill and record in to consideration when looking for people to play with. You can't choose a map to play on in matchmaking as 1 map doesn't represent your skill level hence matchmaking fails completely. There are clans who would all become level 50 generals if they could choose Snowbound and camp with shotgun/mauler over and over...

The thing is, there are 2 types of matchmaking styles. One involves dropping in and out of a game at any time, playing with unknown people, having different people finish the match as the ones that started the match. Games that use this are COD4, Left 4 Dead, Battlefield...

Then there is the Halo/ Gears of War syle system which focuses on smaller groups of people, individual stats and more luck of the draw.

It really depends on which style you prefer. I presonally like the Halo style much more beacuse:

1. The same people that start the match finish the match, or lose rank if they drop.
2. The people that I teabag at the end of the round are the same as the ones that I teabagged at the beginning of the round.
3. Its more fair to have maps selected at random, than have 1 person who knows a map really well constantly have the edge.
