Can we make a matchmaking mod?
Hello modders,
I see alot of theory on why matchmaking will or will not work in NS2 and rather than debate I thought it'd be more productive to try it out instead.
Anyway I know nothing about modding so I'm asking the community if it's possible to create a matchmaking mod, and also to discuss the best way to rank the players, whether it's by k/d, personal score(per match) or win/loss ratio, maybe a combination of these factors. Then find someone who wants to create this mod.
I think each player should have a kind of Match Making Ranking (MMR) which will be displayed to the server upon them joining, maybe the mod will display the average marine team MMR and the average alien team MMR on the scoreboard, or somewhere. The players can then decide to shuffle the teams themselves or cast a vote to have the mod shuffle the teams for them to being more even.

But if enough servers can pull off integrating ns2stats into their servers.
it might just work!
