So the matchmaking system sucks?

2007* called, and it wants its complaints back.

: Instead the ENTIRE TEAM always rushes for the ball. If its the start of
: the game then its understandable. But not when its clear on the other side
: of the bleeding map! I'm so sick of always having to play goaly by default
: because of idiot players.

Standard ball-focused gametype noob play. Ever played any Football in School? I remember everyone doing this for ages until they got much better and the PE instructors bashed their heads together enough.

: And why hasn't 343 addressed the
: camping issue that was raised in Grifball when they made Ricochet? Enemy
: Team Camping (ETC) complete ruin the game considering the fact that the
: teams ALWAYS spawn near the goal.

They're not very good at gametypes, why would you think they're great at making maps for said gametypes, when the latter is much more complicated?

Just how difficult is it to create a 'No
: Camping' zone/hill? A hill or zone that allows the Forger to set settings
: that do the following: -Team Selection
: -Respawn Timer: 0 to 10 seconds (respawns players after set time within the
: zone.
: -Weapons: Yes/ No (Despaws weapons once player enters the zone/hill. This
: will also help with machinima)
: -Weapon Select (If weapo s are allowed in settings this determines their
: weapons.

Is this a serious suggestion?

Better maps and better core gametype design is the solution. Introducing weird ad-hoc fixes will cripple the design and limit map flexibility.

: KOTH
: You should o ly be able to kill or be killed if you are within the hill.

So extending the Mosh Pit idea? Go look how well that worked.

: Oddball & CTF
: Only allow players to die if they are within a certain ratios of the
: ball/flag. Doing so will force players to focus on the ball instead of
: randomly killing to improve their k/d.

It'll also make combat inconsistent around the area boundary. Generally a bad thing.

*MM was also rubbish in 2004 with Halo 2, but it was so new and at least better than everything else out there it wasn't as talked about as much.
