Rod Fergusson over at Epic (developers of Gears of War 2) has posted on the official Gears forums posing an interesting question to the forumites - what do you think of changing the current TrueSkill system of ranking and match-making in Gears of War 2, to one based on match experience instead? Fergusson explains:

“What if, instead of skill rank, we instead showed your experience level. You would gain experience through your individual performance in Public multiplayer matches - the higher your score at the end, the more experience you acquire.

“Of course the experience gained across the different match types would be balanced so you couldn’t just grind on the respawning game types to try and level faster. The experience requirements for each level would grow with each level gained (like a typical RPG) and we’d have 99 levels of experience for you to show off your leetness.”

Well, what do you think? Head on over to the Gears forums to check out the responses and maybe post your own.
