I just got done playing a few games of MW2 and got thinking about what makes me not as into it as past FPS's that I've played. The biggest thing for me is the matchmaking system and how they have really no effect to put you into games with people of equal skill. I'm better then the people that its been putting me in games with because my KDR is 2.19, but no matter how many multiple prestiges I see they also always have some starting low level (5) players in the match. The ranking system really means nothing because I stomp on most of the Multi Prestiges that I've played with. I loved the Halo 2 ranking + matchmaking system because if I played better it would start putting me against better people, but this just randomly throws me into any player that is on and I hate it for that.
From an Elitest stand point this is a horrible thing because the best way to get better is to play people that are better then you and to not give up. This leads me to a problem. I like to play for a point (to get better), but how am I going to get better if half the people I'm facing are far worse then me. I just stomp kids and while its fun I like close matches a lot more because I feel like I can take things away from the game that will help me next time I get into that situation.
If I'm wrong and there really is a ranking system that the matchmaking system uses to put you in games please tell me because I play in any given night 10th prestiges and low level starter and it bothers me.
Does anyone agree with me or am I the only one that feels this way? If I'm being an Elitest jerk please tell me
