Forge. The coolest fucking thing I've ever seen in a console game.
Why aren't top tier custom maps allowed in match making?
Can't you just put in a foundry mode for matchmaking? Why the fuck not????
Single player 4 person online coop
I am still fucking shocked there is NO matchmaking for this. Get off your fucking asses. I'm an ADD gamer, I want a quick coop session on level 1. Give me the option to pick all the skulls, I have no desire to hunt them down.
Has anyone at Bungie ever admitted they completely dropped the ball on both of these things? It really is a fuck up beyond belief, I would love to hear what their shit excuses are for not pushing these EXCELLENT features out to the masses.

Agreed.

No search for custom games is total bullshit, at least offer a server list if you don't want full on matchmaking.
CoD and Gears have no problem supporting both ranked and custom matches without ranked being unused. And why should the integrity of ranked games be placed over the fun of the user? Just delete social playlists and make custom maps searchable, because I typically play with 2-3 IRL people and we don't know anyone else to get in custom games with.

EXACTLY! Why the fuck are they ignoring the fact that their system is broken as fuck?
Adapt to the new features in Halo 3, matchmaking was great for Halo2 but this a new territory.
Bungie are truly self destructive, that shitty lighting model killed any real graphical fidelity this game could have had. But this shit by FAR takes the cake. They are dangling a real gaming revolution in gamer's faces but refuse to follow through.

This in particular is a good point. Gears had the option to join co-op sessions and I made use of it frequently.

No custom games REALLY sucks. I haven't bothered with Forge because of it; for a game centered around its community and multiplayer, not having a major feature that is well-implemented is just stupid.
But I still enjoy playing the game online regardless.
-
Foundry. The coolest fucking thing I've ever seen in a console game.
For a second I thought you meant the new map Foundry. Then I realized you were talking about Forge.
One of the main reasons I never got in to Halo 3 is because of the shitty maps from matchmaking. Wtb Chillout, Lockout, Prisoner, Midship, Beaver Creek, Rat Race...god I miss playing Halo 1 on XBC.
Why don't they just keep maps from old Halo games and continue to add more?
-
seriously, some of the original halo maps are fucking classic
Forge is awesome for all of the possibilities
Let me pick my own servers though. I hate getting shotty snipers on valhalla a million fucking times. goddammit.
I WANT TO PLAY ROCKET SLAYER

halo 3 is dying because COD4 is so much better
COD4 :bow2
-
pretty much. ive barely touched the Halo 3 multiplayer because COD4 and R6 Vegas were so much more fun

I understand your frustrations.
But while I agree, I am still able to find fun in the game. While people complain about getting shotty snipers on valhalla way to much, I hardly ever get that map. But really, the biggest reason people get the same maps so much is because people veto certain maps almost immediantly.
Maps people constantly veto when I join a slayer game:
Snowbound
HC snowbound
Isolation
Last Resort if not snipers usually
Guardian has a decent veto rate as well.
Valhalla: if its not shotty/team snipers.
Bungie uses the Veto data to judge what the community at large wants and then prefers what the community doesn't veto.
Thus why we see so much Shotty/Team Snipers on Valhalla, so much Pit, so little Isolation, so much construct, etc... But to me it doesnt excuse the fact that the Heroic maps are hardly ever played still.
As far as the Campaign goes, if you post a thread on Bungie.net about it, usually within 10 minutes you have 3 other people willing to go through it with you.
also, i agree custom games should have a search function.
Oh Yea, COD4 rocks too. I love it and Halo

It's just the game is starting to show its age in terms of console online matchmaking in comparison to its peers, and it feels very limited as a result. A simple patch could fix a lot of folks' gripes. Having lost that number one spot on XBL must've been a blow to Bungie.

I actually really liked the first 80% of the single player in Halo 3, certainly more than just about any other single-player FPS I've played (admittedly not many)... haven't really delved into multiplayer too much on the game, but I am still a bit surprised at all the backlash H3 is getting. Maybe I need to actually play COD4 one of these days and see what the big deal is.
