"Undoubtedly this is the heretic's doing!"

Their online setup is okay as it is but there could be some improvements worked in. Drop-in/Drop-out co-op would be a fine addition, that way the game won't end if someone lags out or disconnects.

Another obvious improvement can be matchmaking for Firefight, but most importantly Custom Games. Bungie has included a lot of features for Halo 3 that are nearly unrivaled but they need to expand upon them and open them up to the community more. I should not have to come here just to look for custom game matches for example. I should be able to search for gametypes like Infection right off the bat, maybe choose from a server browser list.

They should especially let Forge mode be more accessible to the community, let a server browser list custom maps and such a la Far Cry 2 style. Again, one shouldn't have to take extra steps and measures coming to this website to look for maps. Their availability should be accessible from the game itself.

If you think you've got lag just think how jesus felt, it took him three days to respawn.

on the pc version of halo:Ce they had a multiplayer search browser which i thought was ok.

bungie dosent use serevers

they use pvp hosts thats why it laggs more then other games....

basicly its because bungie is cheap.

*Peer to Peer System

They aren't cheap. Have you seen other developers attempt at Matchmaking? Not a lot of them pull it off as well as Bungie and Microsoft did.

Sounds like whining to me.

Drop-in/out co-op isn't necessary because you should be playing campaign with friends that you know won't quit.

Firefight is team based and as such you should play with people you know and not strangers.

A custom game search list would be nice but again not necessary, we have Bungie.net.

We have Bungie.net which is 1,000,000 times better than the FarCry 2 map browser.

Not really.

You're right, it isn't necessary, but it would improve experience if a friend had to go or lagged out, plus you wouldn't have to quit to invite a buddy in.
Firefight is team based and as such you should play with people you know and not strangers.
Personal opinion. Why does everyone sound so elitist when people bring up MM for Firefight? Again, no one's forcing you to play with randoms. You can always close the party or invite friends in, or leave it open to the public. Firefight would be more successful if you could hop into a match 24/7 without having to wait around and send out invites hoping people join in. It's annoying, and a major inconvience.

A custom game search list would be nice but again not necessary, we have Bungie.net.
But we shouldn't be forced to come here to look for matches. It's ridiculous, and the beauty of Far Cry 2 is you can always find someone's custom games or maps when you want to.

We have Bungie.net which is 1,000,000 times better than the FarCry 2 map browser.
Again, personal opinion.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.
