As we’ve talked about in a few updates, we have an improved version of TrueSkill that we have been integrating into Halo 5. It has already been running silently in the background for several weeks, and now we are getting ready to try it out in matchmaking.As I’ve said in the past, we are being deliberate in how we roll out the new system, so we are going to start with only one playlist to begin with. The first playlist to benefit will be Quick Play. Quick Play is popular enough of a list to give us good data while not being one of the very top lists. Also, in the data we have gathered so far, the new system is significantly better at handling new players, and Quick Play is the most popular playlist by far for first timers.We are targeting the next week or two to switch Quick Play from using the current Halo 5 skill system to the new one. When it goes live, we’ll post an update in the current week’s matchmaking update thread.The new system determines player skill faster and predicts the correct winner much more often. It also predicts kills and deaths accurately. When we matchmake on the new skill ratings TrueSkill2 provides, players will notice fairer matches earlier in their experience than before. For an in depth discussion of the new method, see this write-up by Microsoft Research Cambridge. After Quick Play has run successfully, we will move to include the rest of Social, and then some time after that, Ranked. We’ll keep you updated.Super FiestaSlayerHeroic Warzone FirefightWarzoneQuick PlayBig Team BatteLegendary Warzone FirefightInfectionSWATHalo 3 Classic ThrowbackTeam ArenaDoublesAction SackHaloWC 2018SnipersMythic Warzone FirefightBreakoutWarzone AssaultHaloWC FFAGrifball
