So fix dropouts. Adding drop-in doesn't make the experience better.Devolution said:
It's like nerfing the pistol because it's too good, instead of fixing all the other weapons. #BadAnalogy
Banshee Easter Egg: If you press the "Y" button while flying the Banshee you can use a secret plasma cannon. When you're done playing around, press "Y" again to revert back to the normal Banshee Bomb.

On this there can be no debate. They're also good for finding games of minimal latency. What they absolutely ignore is skill matching, although if you've already convinced yourself that skill matching sucks, you'll have no problem abandoning it.MrBig said:
They should at least allow custom games to be publicly searchable and joinable.

Either servers or something like KZ2 or the older XBOX games like the Counter Strike port where gamers could create a room and set a map rotation along with whatever they want to play and just play.
I wonder if I could just play The Pit and Avalanche BR Slayer/Assualt/Flag over and over would I hate Halo 3 as much as I do. I came close to that back when Legendary map pack launched. I believe there was either a rotation of Avalanche and Ghost Town or just Avalanche and I recall just playing Avalanche over and over and it was the best. They then decided to merge it with the previous map pack and I started getting the oval Rat map and Standoff and it lost all appeal to me.
When you get a map as good as the Pit I could play that forever without getting tired of it. It sucks when you can't just play what you want. I don't expect them to ever get rid of it because Bungie popularized it on consoles and it has become synonymous with Halo.
Halo4: Can we please get rid of voting? Make good playlists with good map/gametype combinations, no ARs in Last Resort or BTB on Atom (imo that was bad, and it did get removed...) etc shit. No voting needed (and make it clear that certain lists have objective games and if you don't like that, go away).
And give us custom game browser.
And slap some sort global true-skill or such... if you're good in Team Slayer, then you're most likely equally good in BTB or Squad Slayer.

They tried that by punishing offenders. Didn't really do much. And I'll admit I've dropped out of more than a few games because the game type or hosting was terrible. The best irony though is when some group votes for something that I hate, my team whoops their ass and they rage quit.
In fact it happened just last night in Doubles now that I recall. They really wanted slayer on Asylum (ar starts) so I just horded long range stuff and made them miserable, then eventually they rage quit.

I'm right with you guys and have been since day 1. Give us a browser. Let us find the games we want. Don't force us to have to pick between 3 maps and gametypes and then force us into one if we don't like any of the 3 choices.

Agreed on the voting process, but no matchmaking...what? Can you elaborate? And you do realize that there is no way in hell that Halo 4 doesn't have matchmaking?
EDIT: I saw your post above. I think a custom browser would be sweet to have alongside matchmaking.
Kuroyume said:
But then you get half filled rooms or you wait for rooms to clear up... how would boosting be prevented. All sense of skill based rank are irrelevant.
Absolutely not. It just doesn't feel right for a Halo game, let alone ANY shooter imo.
I'd LOVE a customs browser but Matchmaking needs to stay. I get mad when a console game doesn't have matchmaking in this day and age. I was pissed when Gears 1 didn't.
Quit penalties don't work (i have no idea how many times i've gotten quit ban, don't give a shit about it really*). Make the game good enough so that people don't want to quit, don't have reason to quit.Devolution said:
*I might care more about quit penalty if i lost credits. I don't quit that much. Only when people are being too idiots. And that happens too often...
The notion of a custom browser has always been an intriguing concept for Halo, but the breadth of custom options available poses problems. For some reason, a lot of people enjoy playing really, really dumb gametypes. Unless the custom browser displayed EVERY setting that was changed, or allows you to search based on exact criteria, it would be pretty frustrating. 9/10 games that said "MLG TS" would be some bull**** screwball gametype with 3000% speed or something.
wait.
In light of my junior status and previous discussions about dickishness, I'll refrain from saying anything here...Woorloog said:

AR start sucks, sure. But this way BKs can't get the same swordbase garbage every game because they have less opportunity.

There-in lies the issue though. I doubt a game will be good enough or separate out people well enough to keep others from quitting. The doubles games I did last night, Barrow actually put on the skill selection and the opponents became worse. How that is possible, I have no idea, I just know that it occurred.

That was amazing! Nothing beats the sound of Halo 3 dual-wielded SMGs. So meaty.FyreWulff said:

For shits and giggles everyone post their worst weapon/vehicle spread.

Funny enough my explosions is +74 and my greatest k/d ratio at 15.8. Bomb explosion is -14. Was looking at two different things whoops.
Devolution said:
I've fallen 166 times, with two kills... Don't ask.
I have negative KDSpread with AR at -150. Which is funny since i prefer AR* and i think i use it a lot but i use the pistol more in fact. A lot more. (Still, i have over 1000 kills with AR)
And other statistics.
I've been Banshee bombed 121 times. How many times you've been bombed?
I have KDspread of +1 with Falcon (driver)
I have positive spread with Armor Lock *evil grin*
*I Prefer AR in theory. Too bad Reach AR sucks most of time.

Thanks for the invite! Sorry if my ukishness was lagging things up I noticed a few red bars here and there lol. Was still a ton of fun but goddamn Halo 3 needs an injection of Reach netcode.
I would love to hop back on but work tomorow.
, make this a regular thing and ill be there! Who where the other guys in the party by the way? Sorry I was in party chat the majority of the time. A friend needed to talk.

I also love how they have given us mobile shield doors. Armour Lock FTW!

Just felt like normal Halo 3 to me. Encounter starts, and now, suddenly dead! Looks like the client actually started shooting you 2 seconds ago.
I'm siding with letting people vote for map and gametype separately.
4 maps
2 or 3 gametypes
no skips to a next voting screen
no seeing what others are voting for
no vote changing
Let's get the trolling out of the equation for the most part, and let people play what they want to play in matchmaking, don't know why Bungie is always so against that. I'm hoping for some big changes to the Halo online experience with 343 now in charge and common sense being applied into decisions.

I never had that problem tonight, thats only ever happened to me when its EXTREMELY laggy. I struggled a lot with people sponging my br shots but apart from that it was just generally as bad as Halo 3 has always been but not 'uh oh blackscreen' aweful. I doubt this would be the case but if you havent played Halo 3 in a while maybe it was just from not being used to it? Maybe those 3 guests lagged things up more on your end though.
