Halo Wars TrueSkill Matching

Its kind of a new game and its not all too popular here at AT but I wanted to share with you a weird topic that has been popping up with Halo Wars. If you watch your Skill Level at all while you play you'll go from 8 to 23 to 18 to 24 to bla bla bla and you'll start to think the game is screwed up. Welp, its not. Check out how the TrueSkill works:

Its an interesting read. Really neat stuff if you are into that sort of thing. Basically, the system is designed for many many users and right now, since the game is so new, there aren't enough users to keep a balanced True Skill, which is why your skill level is bouncing 10 or more levels. Eventually, when the game picks up, you'll start to see better things.

The system isn't just applied to Halo Wars, but it can be used for many other games.

Enjoy

TrueSkill has been around for a while, long before Halo Wars, but yes it is interesting how it works. If you're into that sort of thing... 😛
