Total Votes: 11
Well, the title should be fairly self-explanatory, but for those many who don't logically deduct and conclude what they say....
To date, I have spent $800 in computer hardware and software to get my PC up to speed for Halo 2 Vista.
This thread has been made in the hopes that bungie will make matchmaking playlists for halo 2 vista. We, the users of their service, have paid for our Xbox Live Gold memberships, so why can we not play in matchmaking? here is what was stated before about Halo 2 Vista...

Q: How will online play work if XboxLive is no longer the system that Halo 2 Vista will use?
A: Bungie is implementing a new system called Live Anywhere, which is, a service similar to Xbox Live and will bring matchmaking to H2V players. It is stated that we will be able to do all the things we could do before; system links for local connections, global online play, and dedicated servers. Bungie has stated that there will be no ranking or player stat tracking systems for Halo 2 Vista, nor will it offer clan support.
Upon recent events, we also learned that matchmaking will only be available to those with Gold memberships. Also, it will no longer be possible to run a dedicated server and play on that server at the same time, as it is supposedly restricted. In order to host a regular game, you also must have a Gold membership.
Q: Will we have to pay to play Halo 2 Vista?
A: For a free Silver membership, no, you won't. With a Silver membership, you will be allowed a single gamertag, a common gamerscore and and gamer profile, single player achievements, private chat via text and voice, a common friends list and online presence, and a browsing list. With a Gold membership (which you do have to pay for), you have everything the Silver membership offers, matchmaking, and multiplayer achievements.
When i first bought this game, and even still when I log in to Windows Live, I don't see any matchmaking options- with the exception of quickmatch. But for some strange reason, there are little "lock icons" on optimatch and quickmatch. I have a gold membership. why can't I, and countless other users get in to matchmaking? Was it never implemented in to the game?
Are there any future plans in the works to implement matchmaking in to the game? We were told there would be matchmaking. there are no playlists whatsoever that we have access to.
