Former Halo 2 Lead Designer Weighs in on Call of Duty SBMM

Former Halo 2 and 3 Lead Designer weighs in on Call of Duty SBMM, and how they tackled it with past Halo games.

This is a good read. To this day I still think the matchmaking from the old Halo games were the best I've ever seen. You'd win one and lose one pretty regularly...a great mix of having fun and getting schooled a bit. Nice to read how that was engineered all along

SBMM was the worst thing to ever happen to competitive games.

I will have to disagree. I have heavily played games with ranking systems in the past, notably Gears, Halo and StarCraft. Those games were generally more fun when playing against people of similar skill. Plus your skill would be tested every once in a while against more skilled players.

@Sciurus_vulgaris Your are confusing SBMM with a ranked playlist. Halo 2 & 3 didn't have SBMM for their social playlists and fans prefer it to be that way.
