I'm THE one and only Big, Angry Worm. Tapeworm...?

Dunno, i'm playing it right now, search times are long most of the time, bungie should make less playlists.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Search times for matches depends on the playlist and your rank in ranked playlists.

You'll have the best search times in the low 20s to low 30s in snipers. I'm a 31 right now, was a 32, and it takes a little while to find a game but that's because you want to get host boxes, where you search and there are 4 empty boxes when you search in 4's or 7 boxes playing alone and people join your game.


There are alot of standbyers in halo 2. So getting box host will reduce the chance of getting cheated.
