Was it not even a month ago that we were able to get new maps?

Majority of players still cant get the new (not even that great) maps. The fact that most people have them here does not represent the majority.
Furthermore there wouldn't be constant bitching (of mostly the same things) repeatedly if Shishka fixed his fucking playlists
like i would

Guys I have runny nose and my throat is sore.
How can I blame this on Shihka?

That's so easy, the stress of bad gameplay (due to terrible playlists) has been shown to compromise or weaken the bodies defenses allowing microbes to freely march in and invade like my BR invades Dax's face.

i dont care if bungie gives people free stuff. it's like if my house was on fire and the firetruck shows up, but instead of putting out the fire they give me a new car. matchmaking is in flames. and most of us didnt get free cars, either.

if by satisfactory overall you mean overall it is satisfactory enough to take an awesome game and makes it play like a complete trainwreck 50% of the time, than i agree. over and out

Do ye really think your constant bitching about the state of matchmaking is going to change something?
You don't think if they agreed they'd do something?
About time ye get past this, constantly pissing all over a good thread.

Umm yeah, so I played against a dude earlier who has played over 61,000 customs. All he does is start one up and then quit. I assume this is a move to try and pull host. Is this banworthy? Because if it is, I would love Shishka forever* for banning this guy and ruining all the time that he put into playing these customs.
*Forever=until tomorrow when I play and something else pisses me off

Why in the world would # of custom games played affect who gets host?

I'm not sure why it should but it does. The more games that you play as host seems to affect how strongly you pull host. Therefore, the more games that you play by yourself and force host upon yourself will give you a higher chance of pulling host in matchmaking games. Or at least that's how I understand it.AnEternalEnigma said:

Anybody think ODST will have drop-in/drop-out co-op with matchmaking of some kind? I would love to be able to join random games.

It would be awesome, but I don't think so. I don't really think it's appropriate with Halo's matchmaking system, at least in ranked games.LunaticPuma said:

What'd u get your 50 in? Campaign!
The Librarian

Actually, I think having a rank that correlates to how much time you have put into campaign isn't a bad idea; it'd be neat to show off. Of course, it would be more like a rank for an individual playlist, and wouldn't contribute to your overall multiplayer rank.xxjuicesxx said:
sixthsubset said:
It's not that difficult to get a 50 in mlg. I've done it in my off time not even trying after not playing the game for over a year. You can ask tashi, I honestly go into games fucking around on my 50.
It's cool that you play mlg and stuff but I think it's bullshit that you come in here telling people that you are better than them. Leave that shit in matchmaking. It's embarrassing.
*edit*
enough with the ranks you monkeys. it's stupid and meaningless.
Cuckooo said:
how does it look cool? there has to be a reason why someone does 60,000 custom matches other than 'looking cool'. But I do remember some employees on here confirming that your custom host record and matchmaking host record aren't shared so I have not idea wtf they are doing.

I know it's probably unpopular, and extremely unlikely to happen, but I think you guys would be much happier if drop in/drop out was in matchmaking.

Never thought of that. Maybe that's the MP portion (aside from the three exclusive maps) that they're holding back from revealing for now?
But you'd like looking for randoms to play campaign with? I'd just imagine a bunch of douches grenade spamming and shooting their teammates for the lolz all the time.

Oh, really, custom host is different from MM host? Then this guy is just a no-life loser.KevinRo said:

KevinRo said:
Since the hosting record for customs and MM are seperate, afaik, it would probably help you if you want to have host in a lot of your custom games.
But also, people do it because the somewhat general consensus in MM is that if you play a lot of customs, you're an MLG pro.

Yea I remember Luke commenting that the people doing that were retards because that custom game host record doesn't count towards good host possibilities in matchmaking.
I dunno if this is a bug or something (because I rarely ever play this gametype in Customs) but why is it that when you select INFINITE AMMO, one person's ammo count suddenly switches to normal at some point during the game? It happened to me locally AND over Live. And it affects more than just 1 player in the game.

Serves me right for not reading what I type.
did that make sense?
Last Resort is okay for 4v4, as long as there's a Battle Rifle start. Most of that map is spread opened and it needs a rifle start. The Slayer type should be Team BRs and for Objectives, Territories, 1-CTF, and 1-Bomb should have the open box in the base removed (yay for putting it over the flag spawn to ruin the game -- why it has not been removed is beyond me. Must be great to look at a blue box) and BR starts.Domino Theory said:
Last Resort is one of my favorite maps on Halo 3, so I do wish I would get to play it more often in Halo 3 MM (playing it in ranked is so much more appealing that the shit in Social). It needs added to Team Snipers. Funny how Team Snipers is in Guardian, a smaller, corridor map, but not a medium-to-large, open map with coverage like Last Resort.
I dislike getting High Ground (even though I like that map, too), Standoff, Valhalla, etc. so much more than Last Resort in Slayer and Objective.
Explain why we've gone through barrages of mishaps and odd changes. Symmetrical gametypes on Ghost Town? Check. Game variants that have been pleaded to be either removed from Ranked or heavily reduced (Heavies, VIP, etc.)? Check. Strange or puzzling weapon placements on map variants? Check.
Surely its not horrible, no. But it could be vastly improved with simply changes to game variants, map variants, and other small items. It's not a general map thing or even a playlist thing. Changes need to be made FOR them, and it will improve.

Does anyone know if Team Snipers is in Social Slayer? I've been playing with my buddies and they dont have gold accounts so were limited to SS and I have yet to come across it... seems like it was all over the place months earlier.
I would search bungie.net but I am too tired.

Barrages of mishaps? Symmetrical gametypes on Ghost Town: what was so bad about those? *shrugs* Last time I checked, Heavies is a great concept, and most people are demanding it be altered, not significantly reduced. VIP has been heavily reduced. I don't really have any big complaints about matchmaking right now, besides those that can't be helped by Bungie.
I played my worst game in a long time this morning. It was Team Slayer on Sandbox BR starts, and my team lost 50 to 16 I think; somewhere around there. During the game, I just couldn't seem to get a hold of it: nearly every time I attempted to kill someone, a teammate of theirs was there and killed me, I kept on getting kills stolen from me... I know there are games like this one, I just hate it when it happens.

I was talking about campaign. ODST won't have multi-player last I had heard (not talking about the Halo 3 stuff on the disc). I just want to be able to jump into campaign games that are already in progress.
