**Are there any combat changes?** No, the combat for the standard matchmaking is vanilla and probably will stay like that. However we will try to add popular combat mods as options for clan matches. **What is the ruleset for SKM?** - No regen - No throwables - No shields **Will you add other (modded) game modes in the future?** Yes, if we find that a specific modded game mode is very popular after release, we will consider adding it to the matchmaking. Before that we can again try to add it as an option for scrims. **How does your Ranking work?** Our Ranking Algorithm has similar thoughts behind it as the True Skill system which Halo has, with variations that fit the melee genre and specifically SKM. More detailed info will be provided later on.
