Personally i think matchmaking really started to suck after the rank reset. I don't have the new maps and im not going to get them. I guess making it suck even more for me. But i think im gonna quit H2 MM and just stick to something more appealing like Gears. Anyone Aggree/Disaggree?

I agree, but I'm sticking with Halo 2 anyway. I don't want to turn this into a flame war, but I don't really like Gears of war. As I was saying...matchmaking isn't as fun and friendly as it used to be, unless you play with your friends in Hardcore or something.

Blending BTB Slayer and Skirm has really dulled the experience. Also, removing ranked Rumble Pit makes it virtually pointless. Even with the new maps ( which are average) it still is missing something.

Halo 2 is not what it used to be....I want to play a ranked game when I have 5 or more people in my party

Yes, MM is definitely different. I think a lot has to do with the rank reset as well as the beta being released. Lots of people are having to readapt to MM because the beta was so different-that includes getting used to the new maps. I have the new maps and they just don't feel like HALO to me. But I'm gonna be faithful until Halo 3 comes out in September. Gears does NOT appeal to me.

I disagree, I have been playing ranked games ever since the beta ended. It has been fun and challenging again. Meeting new people, playing on the new maps. I am playing this until Halo 3 comes out. Period.

My last thread: Why Reach Sucks

I hate gears, the network code sucks, the double jumps suck. If you're playing anyone decent its obnoxious, and host is way too strong (network code). You have to play the shot when its lagging, and the sensitivity isn't high enough to do that unless you unscope which is incredibly inaccurate. But i guess it attracted enough people to be played on a world wide level so it can't be that bad. I just love halo to much, a game so close to perfection, to then turn around and take a game as flawed as gears.

Gears sucks. My friend went from H2 to Gears. I dont have the new maps either, but I still do Team Hardcore and ended up as a level 14
