Back to Gaming with Halo 3 and Gears of War
Over the weekend I received some awesome birthday presents from people. I received Halo 3 and Gears of War. I consequently spent the weekend playing Halo 3 on Xbox Live. They seem to have 2 different sets of level in the online play. They have experience which determines a rank; corporal, private, etc. and they also have a skill rank. I am pretty crappy right now. My skill rank is only a 5, but give me a break because I just started playing. It is a great game. If you haven't played it I recommend giving it a shot. I've been enjoying it so far.
I love Gears of War as well, but I've not been playing it as often. I've been playing Halo with some friends who have never played Gears before, so I would rather play a game that they're also able to play. Since they've not played Gears ever they would take a while to get up to speed.
Halo 3 does an adequate job matching up teams for the most part. It tries to balance teams so that everyone stands a chance of doing well. It will look at skill ranks of the players and try to match them up accordingly. Although it is not always great. I've been in games with skill level 12 people, and I am only level 5. I am guessing it was an off peak time because it took a while to find a game.
Let me know if you play Halo 3 and want to play on Xbox live.
