    That phenomena when you pick up a new multiplayer game and the first few days, or even a week go by where people are still figuring out the game and having fun. People who haven't dedicated their lives to mastering multiplayer shooters still stand a chance against grizzled veterans. Well that seems to have gone the way of the DoDo bird for me. Upon hitting level 19-20, all lighthearted fun ceased and i joined the ranks of the hardcore death dealers of the Halo world. Anyone else still getting games with people who are relatively new and can't headshot you from 100m away whilst falling through the air and sipping a mountain dew?

    Been playing a lot and I haven't encountered this problem yet.
     
    You might just be unlucky with the random groups.

    Well the skill set required to dominate at Halo has been basically unchanged for over 10 years now, so of course that's going to happen.

    i've never really got into the mp of halo that much before 4, but i've been doing relatively good at the game, i'm only at SR15 but still. And yeah, it's still halo, so all those people who are really good at it still are. As long as it's still fun and so far it all is, unlike other shooters where i get killed in a really stupid way. Here i have a feeling i always know what's going on and if i'm gonna pull out on top in a firefight.

    Is there some kind of level cap? I remember last I used to play halo, even playing after a lot of time had passed, I'd still get matched with people near my skill level. Or at least, the mix in teams would be similar even if there were better players on both teams.

    After I hit 20 I noticed a sheer cliff of a skill spike. Havn't even played with anyone under 20 in about 15-20 matches. Up until that point I was regularly doing great and now I'm having horrendous matches. Still remaining fun but in the last days of Reach I felt at the top of my game and I don't feel like Halo 4 has changed enough at a basic level to change that.

    the aiming feels slightly looser with 4 than reach. i don't know if it's less aim assist or faster character movement or what but something feels different.

    Slightly unrelated, but it sounds like there's a "double-shot" exploit making the rounds. If you're familiar with Halo 2's BXR tactic, then you'll know how lopsided this sort of workaround can make the multiplayer experience.
