You find a game faster in Halo 3's Lone Wolves, Team Slayer and Social Slayer playlist than TO in Reach.

Really? Thats great news, hopefully down the line at some point we will get a core selection of playlists, id play H3 much more if it didnt take so long to get a game.
I fear when Halo 4 is out i wont even go back to 3/Reach unless for nostalgia reasons but if something happens before the holiday season ill be all over H3
As long as you realize consolidation with small numbers will lead to more quitting/voting issues.

Double edge sword, ill take quitters over long search times.
I will take this moment to link to my attempt to gather consolidation feedback on the Waypoint forums.
For what it's worth though, I was able to play Action Sack just now and play a familiar selection of people three times in a row.
Still waiting for the third game to process at this point - but everyone on my team quit out, so it might be a bit. Got a cool kill out of it though. The people on the other team in the last game were the people on the other team in the Dodgeball game. I almost felt like I interrupted a matchmaking get together or something :lol
Well, the first thing they could do is remove DLC requirements from everything besides Team Mythic.

7th of the 7th was never going to be a high population playlist. I still find games in the core playlists pretty quickly. Of course getting games as party of more than 2 is near impossible in playlists like Snipes at a high level but rather than consolidation I would just prefer to see a loosening of matchmaking restrictions.
Agreed!
Agreed!

A new serial article feature has gone live on Forward Unto Dawn.
There are four sections up; Introduction, Prepare to Drop, Mombasa Streets and Teyari Plaza. Updates will be coming soon and regularly.
Hindsight: ODST
Hope you guys enjoy the read!
I hope approve, Coco.
It doesn't take long to find games in there, at least for our group of four it doesn't.

That makes me sad.. Are we sure Anniversary series 2 wont be there though? I wonder if McFarlane plans on taking a break before the Halo 4 line starts up.
Remove AR starts por favor.

Man, I'm dying to play some Halo 3. I used to own the Mythic disc, but I lent out to someone and can't remember who...
I need to make some phone calls. :: cracks knuckles ::

I have some serious work to do today, but tonight I'm going to finish Cryptum. Here's my query: After Cryptum, should I buy Glasslands or Primordium? I haven't heard great things about Glasslands, so my heart, mind and wallet tell me to go with the Bear.
Of course, I could be wrong. Your thoughts?

So does that mean STILL no drop in/drop out?
He's talking about Halo 3, not Halo 6.
Word, Timmy.

Maybe with the help of some fairly oddparents...
Primordium. The beginning is a bit tedious but a bit better than Glasslands.

From what iv heard both are fantastic. Get Promordium first and Glasslands later since one is a direct sequel and the other is more of the universe

Sounds like I should read Primordium next. Thanks, guys.

I just felt like saying that I hope Halo 4 has armor permutations based off MC concept art from the early days. It would be cool to be able to see those, or at least some in action.
Such as that ^
i saw you in a halo helmet your awesome

Matchmaking times in H3 stunk way before Reach ever came out. It was one of my biggest issues with that game. Got so tired of looking at the blue screens with the soldiers on the couch... Which (if I'm not mistaken) was also in H2 so that got really tiring to look at. During Reach's development I was seriously considering suggesting to Bungie that they include some kind of mini game for us in matchmaking just to make the wait bearable.

Armoury 2.0 needs to be epic.
I wish Halo would make the jump to 2 disc games. 1 Campaign 1 Multi.
I wonder how much more costly this is from a logistic stand point, and a development stand point.

You could argue that it would cost LESS for development, because then you don't have to spend time cramming and compressing everything to 8 GBs
Namco has the patent on that type of thing. 'Mini-games' during any type of loading/wait period are their domain iirc.
Fuck Namco.
edit: i remember people were saying this patent ends in a few years. Can't find a source though.

Jelly confirmed.
Seeing their gallery reminds me how pathetic the Halo game areas at GamesCom were since ODST. Especially compared to other AAA titles. lol.
They should do it like Halo 3 again.

Wait I thought this was just KyleJ joking, how can this be a real patent, what the hell?
Yeah exactly, good point! I love the Fifa loading mini game.
