Halo 1>Halo 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>Halo 3

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

It takes forever to find a game in any of the playlists now. To fix this, I strongly suggest compacting Matchmaking into four core playlists:

Team 4v4 (Ranked, 4v4)- Combination of Team Slayer, Team Objective and Team Hardcore

Rumble Pit (Ranked, 6-8 player Free for All)- Pretty much H2 Challenge but with a different title since that tournament is over

Team Training (Unranked, 4v4-5v5)- Every kind of 4v4 gametype that has appeared in matchmaking

Rumble Training (Unranked, 6-8 player Free for All)- Every kind of FFA gametype that has appeared in matchmaking

Please do this, I'm sick of waiting an hour to find a match just so everyone can quit within the first few minutes

Were it so easy.

Buy ODST.

Does it need an update? Yes. Will it ever get one? Probably not. Bungie lost the keys to the Halo 2 matchmaking playlists a long time ago.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

If they would do this, I promise, I would at least play once in awhile.

And that's more than zero. That's me now with H2 online.

Lad, we all would. The point is it's impossible. They "lost the keys," for good, updating H2 is over unfortunately. But that shall not, and I stress, will not prevent thee from enjoying the everlasting pleasure from whence we gain through playing thy ultimate sequel of combat evolved. Aye Halo 2. There's yet to be game in us. Let us waste not, let us stop not, let us game. ~Cm

yes the game terribly needs an update. I much prefer Halo 2 to Halo 3. But it's impossible to find games so I dont play it anymore....

That "lost the keys" excuse bungie gave is a complete load of BS. The most popular game on the original xbox, and the original xbox live, and the "lost" the codes they use to change matchmaking? I dont think so. It's just a way to get you to move on to halo 3 and ODST. too bad, as Halo 2 has such better maps.

When this sniper is shot at a velocity of 88 mph your gonna see some serious -blam!-

Thats because half of the halo lovers left halo 2 to play ODST and Halo 3

Gamertag: I am 7he 7ruth
I have all the Halo games(From 1 to ODST).I just don't know how to link my gamertag.

It will never get updated,and it's a crime for leaving great maps to never be played on.If they could add 5 maps(fan favorite) maps from halo 2 to halo 3,that would be great.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

"Lost Keys", Yeah right, after all, MS probably has them anyway, and they could give them to bungie (MS owns the systme, after all)

good idea. They really should just reset the ranks or take them off.
