Subject: The only thing MW2 has that Halo doesn't

Now i dont play MW2 but i have played it and although the game itself is terrible they do have a playlist called Mercenery team death match. This means that you are only allowed to search in that playlist on your own. I think that this will work great on Halo 3 and Halo Reach. Mainly on Halo 3 because its hard to find a game of social without getting put up against a full 3/4 man team who have teamwork and strategy and they will normally beat all of the randoms that they get put up against. This option could be activated by pressing X in the MM loby and it could sit below the prefer connection, language or skill. By doing this it will allow randoms to go against randoms allowing for mixed teams and a better MM.

Good idea? Post your opinions

"Team shoot the wraith!"
"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"
*starts betraying blue teammate*

I guess... but that's kinda of what Ranked is for.

Yes but when i come on to Halo I dont jump straight into ranked. I like to warm up in social and it can be hard to if im facing 3/4 man teams.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

I think when you are searching in a party in halo it will try to search for a party for you to play against so it is always even. For example, if you are in a party of 4 in a team playlist with 8 people then i think the system will try to make it so the other team has a party of 4 aswell. So usually, if you are playing by yourself then it is likely that everyone else is by thereselves aswell although this isn't always the case.

I think it could be a good addition to have it as a more strict option though like you have said. At least if it is there then you can choose whether or not you would like to use it. I think it could help to even the teams.

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

Play custom games with people that you know are better than you. That's the best way to "warm up". It makes the matchmaking games really easy.

It only puts you against another full team in Ranked. It may of used to try in social but too little people are playing now so it feels like it just throws you into a random game.
