I've been F5ing this thread all day in hope of a Code being posted.CrazedArabMan said:hoping for a F+F code, but doubtful

You're right door. I'm going to set the status of my stream to, "Halo Reach Beta Steel with Tashi" :lol
To the first: I think there are just too many variables in Halo for custom browsing to work. Everything from spawns to weapon placement to player traits can be changed, so a preview in the browser would not be useful for describing how the map and game were changed. And restricting the maps to the default setting would defeat the purpose of a custom game.Church RvB said:All of your concerns are legitimate. But what I'm saying is it all depends on how good this Custom Game Browser was.
Would you be able to select Last Resort DEFAULT?
Can you view the game settings before entering the lobby?
Could you (the custom game creator) put up a description tag of the people your looking to play with/what you're trying to accomplish with you custom game?
Matchmaking is great. I just get sooooo tired of playing the same bullshit. I want variety.
I tend to get more irked, not Urked. What does being "Urked" entail?Blueblur1 said:Anyone else urked

Halo 3 has near 20 playlists. In your mind, isn't that really splitting itself? I think the population reasoning is null and quite frankly, redundant.bobs99 ... said:They FRUSTRATE me on the PC :lol , I dont want to play weird rules and mods! I guess if you were lucky enough to come across a cool bunch of people playing a unique gametype it could be good, but I garuntee most of the games will be people who want you to try out theyre crappy custom game rules.
It would also take population away from matchmaking. I just dont like the idea of a service which will be hit and miss taking away from a service which works well.
pfft, tashi if you finish below dax.. you need to turn in your Halo Elite badge.Tashi0106 said:lol, I've been talking so much about Onyx, I'm gonna end up in Gold and just embarrass myself :lol :lol I'll stop now.

Does that just effect you, or are your guns silent to enemies as well?

To the latter, I don't think custom game searching is the solution. I think community hoppers are. Forge variants via Atlas were added late in Halo 3's life cycle, and while a valiant effort that yielded some nice variety in some playlists, didn't have nearly the impact they could have. I suspect due to a lack of resources, infrastructure and planning needed to make it really work; it wasn't part of the matchmaking or playlist design initially.
If we had a few community hoppers to test custom map and gametype variants that Bungie - or the community - flagged, and Bungie had a process for pulling the best out and moving them into the general playlists, I think we'd have a middle ground where user content could trickle into matchmaking, which would no longer be so stagnant. Given the overhaul Forge will inevitably get, it's my hope that the process to flag, test and roll out community content into the playlists is likewise a top level priority from day one of Reach's release. Obviously, resources will be an issue.

Thankfully Reach is addressing that serious humility and cutting it down a ton.

I meant to say "partly" defeat the purpose. You're saying custom gametypes on default maps, but that's not especially exciting to me. Since Halo 3, custom games mean more than chaging gametype settings.Church RvB said:So wrong. A custom game IMO can use a default map. What if i want to play territories on Valhalla this instant? I can't. Chances are I couldn't find this even if i searched for a few hours. A Custom Game Browser would allow me to get my territories fix and allow other to get their crazy map fix! It's a win-win for everyone! (the only downside is development cost/time/man hours and MAYBE splitting up the MM population.)
I want to know how all of these off-brand websites got codes to give out.Kuroyume said:http://www.thehdroom.com/news/Early-Access-to-Halo-Reach-Beta-Code-Contest-10-Available/6617
For something like this why is info like that even necessary?
bobs99 ... said:I agree 20 playlists is crazy, now imagine if you had a custom game browser how much worse it would be. The thing is, the playlists in Halo 3 all seem to have theyre place, and I wouldnt want to see any of them go =(
Ive come across really negative and that wasnt my aim, I was just pointing out all the flaws with the system and soI want to finish by saying that I do see why its a good thing and how cool it would be, so despite the fact I have pointed out all the flaws, I would like it. If they can impliment it in such a way that it doesnt hurt Matchmaking then that would be awesome.
Church RvB said:I personally would like to see a dedicated playlist for territories (I know, they had one and apparently no one played it). I'd like to see a dedicated playlist for all gametypes. That is, as an example, a CTF playlist with 1 flag CTF, Neutral Flag, Regular CTF, Blah blah blah. Somewhere where you know you can get your CTF fix on!
I hope you're an Inter fan though .CozMick said:Wow, I'm gobsmacked.
Just finished watching the Barca/Inter match and this strange advert came on, I was like,
"WTF, these fuckers have stole the Halo theme!"
Then it hit me............
An advert for a damn beta? (It was about a minute long)
Microsoft are gonna go mental with the marketing for this game :lol

This is why I wish Gamersyde captured footage from their event, but apparently they didn't. They don't seem to like Halo anyways though.dilatedmuscle said:Whats the best resolution video you guys have seen of the recent beta clips? Every video i see seems to look terrible even in "HD".
I was wondering about this too. WTF at all the bragging going on...darkressurection said:Wait, did I miss something, did some of you guys get confirmations you are in or are you just being optimistic?

I KID I KID. You should play with us tomorrow. We will dong so hard.

I tried out Action Sack a few days ago for the first time and GODDAM it was awesome. I loved playing dodgeball on Sandbox.Rowsdower said:Isn't Action Sack a playlist dedicated to "wacky" customs? I don't have the required DLC so i've never played it, but that's what i get from the description. I don't see why they couldn't include something like that in Reach.
