Exactly when the point that happened for anyone is going to vary wildly

For me it was the Halo 2 graphic novel.

I do think that the gameplay concept of “extraction”, and the risk/reward of betting your accumulated gear in a gameplay session is one that can work very well (I love Hitman 3’s Freelancer mode to death and it makes fantastic use of this). I just have zero interest in doing it against other players who are probably better than me.

This is the thing I'm wondering about. I think they'll have to do the same thing with putting other teams on the map as they did with Halo 2/3, which let the skill level swing a bit. You'd get both even games, and lopsided games, some of which were in your favor and some which aren't. I feel like you'd NEED to have those few games where you just walk all over the other team, or you'd just be constantly losing. Pure skill based match making I feel like would fail here.
