"i have been playin reech it is kewl game i like 2 spam armer lawk in it its fun and i win against good peopls. i plai cod alot so idk much about halo. wat is halo ce?"

About 6 months ago I traded in my copy of Halo 3 for some DLC and assorted marketplace content.

Now I have the itch to go back and play again, raise my K/D, etc.

Obviously without DLC there are only a few playlists I can play, mainly Social Slayer and Lone Wolves. Given that I play most of the time around early morning to mid afternoon EST I obviously encounter lower populations in most games.

My simple question, how still play these main playlists earlier in the day? Do playlists like lone wolves and social slayer have close to/over 1k at times like this? Also, what playlists are there that I can play with no/free DLC?

I dont know what the time comparison would be as im in england (GMT), but at the moment lone wolves has 687 players and social slayer has 2000 and those numbers stay pretty solid when im on.

Thanks, that what I pretty much needed to know. I don't want to re-buy a game and just get stuck searching alot for a decent match.

Turn on, Tune in, Drop out

GT is fat aggre55ion

I'm on the west coast which puts you 3 hours ahead. so your early morning play time is our work time. I would try playing either in the very early morning or much later at night. As for only playing the non DLC playlists, just buy ODST like I did for like 20 bucks (used) and you get the multi player disk to play all the playlists as well as getting a new game.

See if you can buy the H3 Complete Multiplayer Experience disc (Disc 2 in ODST). It features all the maps ever released for Halo 3, including Forge, Theater and Customs (doesn't feature campaign though).
Then you don't have to worry about map-specific playlists!

I'm buying Halo 3 for campaign achievements and Reach unlockables as well as multiplayer.
