matchmaking in Halo 3?

What will it be like? I'm assuming it will be the same as the matchmaking in Halo 2.

i didnt think you could choose a game from a list in xbl for halo 1, meh never done xbl for halo 1, only halo 2, and they auto create a game. (i think)

Meh this is pretty useless of a topic.

Bungie has stated that it will be a lot like halo 2's but there will be filters to let yourself get a map or certain game type. As for custom games they said that there will be private games and public games, where anyone one can join if its public, but in private only friends/clan members can join.

I hereby declare this thread useless.

I'd like you to explain the details of Bungie's system link matchmaking to me.

Matchmaking and selecting a server from a list both have pros and cons. I pretty much don't care what they choose to do.

I like matchmaking and choosing from servers.

Or if you use something called context, you'd realize that Halo 2 is the only game by Bungie to feature matchmaking. The player can be a matchmaker in the games, but the only game to do matchmaking is Halo 2.

no what i meant was like in halo pc wen press get list and all these games show up, they should put something like that in halo 3 i think it would be much better, but still include the matchmaking feature

Agreed, a list of open games in progress would be nice.

Thats what public custom games are for. But they aren't going to be ranked. Which is good, cause you could boost from playing with friends as suicidal enemies.

No, custom games are only open to the players' friends lists. I was referring to a game list. For instance, when creating a game, you could set it to Public, Friends, or Private.

Thats exactly what I said.

You said "That's what public custom games are for." I got the impression that that meant open custom games as were in Halo 2. The way it was worded made it sound like you were referring to something that already exists.
