the reason why Halo 2 did work fairly well was you were basically within a "range"
to quantify someones skill outside of success against their peers is near fucking impossible.
Arena was proof of such failure of analyzing someones ability
i'd go 7-0 and everyone else on my team went negative but had a high amount of kills, but the game thinks people on my team were better than me. Element is the brain. Choosing smart engagements. Everybody has a different measure of success or skill but in the end it doesn't mean shit if you lose the game.
When I'm a flag runner, it doesn't mean i'm incompetent because i'm piling up the death count. It's a measured sacrifice that I'm doing in order to advance the score and will usually go heavy negative.
That's why I want H2 ranks and not some random concoction of analysis which will force me to play against idiots for the rest of my life. yay. That way I know where I stand and know roughly where my opponent stands and I don't have to take the games word that I'm facing someone of equal skill.
