: This is the sort of matchmaking that makes me wish 343's algorithms were

: 38, 12, 12, 12 get matched against 18, 18, 18, 18 - but this kind of awful
: matching usually only happens when you have full teams looking for

Is CSR actually being used for matching? I'm under the impression that Trueskill is actually the underlying skillmatch system, and CSR is essentially 343's web-only Reach arena rankings.

A quick look around at each player's stats (there doesn't seem to be a way to view games by playlist) seem to indicate to me that the randoms Morpheus faced have played too few for Trueskill to figure them out in a 4v4 playlist. Add to this fact that Halo 4's low population would certainly have 343 setting TS to "loose" mode to keep match times reasonable.
