Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

Get off your asses and remove oddball from doubles. It does not take any skill. 4 people (2v2) is not enough to sustain a healthy game of oddball. Anything less than 4v4 turns into "who can get better spawns" and "who can run around the map faster".

4v4 Oddball is a strategic game where you set up and have to outslay the other team while still being in possession of the objective. If you're team is good enough, 3v4 is doable.

2v2 Oddball is a bull-blam!- game where you run around the map in circles and drop grenades behind you like banana peels in mario kart. 1v2 is a lot harder than 3v4, and it doesn't even really matter anyway because it's just a constant chase around the map.

2v2 Oddball takes absolutely no skill, and I am sick of playing it because kids who lack skill keep it because they assume they will get lucky rather than having to play Team Slayer or Team BRs which actually does take skill.

Oh, and while we are at it, add BRs to all other objective gametypes in doubles. Speaking of that, I find it extremely pathetic that you still have AR starts in Ranked Gametypes - this is just inexcusable.

I don't care if you are "in the process of transferring Halo over to 343i". That seems like a pretty poor excuse to me. Buy me a plane ticket out to Seattle and I'd be happy to get off, take a cab to your studio, take 30 seconds to change these few problems, and immediately take a cab home.

You show absolutely no effort to help, and I am starting to think you don't even care about your fanbase. The reason 343i is replacing you guys is probably because you aren't doing your jobs right - that's what usually happens when people fail to do their jobs correctly. All that said, I'm sure you also don't care about this thread. But on the off chance you do, take 5 minutes out of your day and at least address these issues that should have been dealt with years ago. There is no excuse for your actions.

The thing is, a lot of the best default Halo Reach players and some of the biggest default Halo 3 Matchmaking warriors.


Gotta love those verb-less sentences.

Quoted in case you get banned. I agree, I lose to colonels who dont veto objective and ar starts.
Oddball is annoying, MLG Team Ball is fun though.

I like team based games that don't revolve around host, luck, and idiotic developers' failures. I guess I'll just have to find a new hobby because I don't see any game like that happening in the near future.

Although I agree, I remember Achronos saying that it's not as simple as just changing the settings and putting new playlist in.

Here's the post.

Also, if you want this to have any chance of being noticed. Put it in the Optimatch Forum.

More like "when" I get banned. The moderators on this site ban for the dumbest reasons imaginable. My last ban was for a thread I made that asked people to sign up for the waypoint forums and get a thread about updating Halo 3 forum.

Apparently trying to help spread the word of helping Halo 3's immensely broken matchmaking get fixed was a "stupid and pointless thread".

I can't see it being that difficult. But I'm sure that if they even respond to this thread they will make up some absurd reasoning as to why they can't fix it, when in reality they just don't care and don't want to do it.

Also, I've tried posting threads like this in the Optimatch forum, but it just gets pushed to the next page almost instantly by all the Reach threads.

Half of the threads on this forum are about staffies wanting 50s. This is not pointless, I fail to see why that would be the case

Just because lol Reach is out, doesn't mean Halo 3 can't have minor changes made.

Sorry, I didn't mean playlist, I meant gametype. They can't just edit the gametype and put it in as easy as we can edit a custom and save it. That's what Achronos said in that post..

Sure it does. Months ago before Halo: Reach came out they said they would be making no more updates to Halo 3 aside from maintaining current playlists. They would leave behind a small team to maintain the online aspect of the game and the rest would move on.

Doubles is a current playlist, and what the OP is suggesting can be considered maintaining it.

While that clearly isn't what they meant, sure if you want to get into semantics you could say that. Absolutely! Just don't get your hopes up is all.

Just because it's harder than clicking 2 buttons (if that's even the case) doesn't mean they can't do it. Why not spend some time updating Halo 3 instead of taking the entire company outside and taking retarded pictures of life size Halo weapons made out of paper mache?

They can do it, they just won't.

I miss Team Objective, Head to Head, and Rocket Race. Bungie should bring back Team Objective at least.

I have an entire thread about this, kinda. I would love to have TO back, but only if they give everyone their old rank back.

  • 04.01.2011 10:22 PM PDT

Yeah, and they need to get rid of 7 on 7. And maybe add some Double EXP.

Blue shells were a real pain though. I mean, they were basically impossible to avoid unless you hit a speed boost at the split-second exact time. You put in all that work to get to first place, only to be showered in Blue shells! Really frustrating.

  • 04.01.2011 10:28 PM PDT

Or bring back Squad Battle / Ranked BTB
