'Days Of Old' Ideas #2

• Multiplayer matching system would match players depending on 'Grade'. 
• Grade is determined by measuring your 'Performance Rating' across 15 recent matches. 
• The average of the 15 Performance Ratings are then tallied into 5 Grades: Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum (placeholder names). 
• Performance Rating is based your 'Performance Score' compared to the player with the highest Performance Score when the game ends (quitting matches does not affect Performance -- other measures are taken into account for quitters). 
• 'Performance Score' is measures via kills, assists, deaths, suicides, supporting actions, objectives, etc..
  However Performance Rating is the percentage of your P.Score compared to the highest P.Score.
  E.g. Highest P.Score in match is 1650, your P.Score is 1205 (not actual numbers), your P.Rating is 73.03%
  E.g. Highest P.Score in match is 1820, your P.Score is/ties 1820, your P.Rating is 100%
  Grade is determined by the average of 15 previous P.Ratings and then assigned as either Steel 0-19.99%, Bronze 20-39.99%, Silver 40-59.99%, Gold 60-79.99%, Platinum 80-100% (e.g. averaged as 78.22% would be Gold Grade). 
• Players who search for a match will NEVER find allies or opponents higher than their own 'Grade'.
  Players in a group searching for a match will NEVER find allies or opponents higher than the highest Grade in their group.
  The only time players will find allies or opponents lower than their own Grade is if the low-grader is in a group with the high-grader. 
• In playlists below 12v12, groups of 4 players is the maximum single group count.
  12v12 to 15v15 (if 15v15 exists), groups of 6 players is the maximum single group count.
  16v16 and above (max 32v32), groups of 8 players is the maximum single group count.
  Free-for-all playlists and special team playlists do not allow groups. These playlists do not allow Join in-progress via Friends list, only via Quick match. This rule applies to the standard playlists if the friend group is at it's maximum. 
• In relation to maximum groups, think Halo 3/Reach when certain playlists are capped at number players in a search lobby.
