Does anyone think that Bungie should consider changing the Matchmaking system of Halo 3 into a server list? This wouldn't be for custom games or anything like that, it would be for the playlists currently offered in Halo 3.

Each playlist would have a certain amount of servers (depending on it's population) that people can browse through and join. The games with the best connection appear at the top of the list, so people in my situation (who don't live in America) can join games without lag. The playlist servers wouldn't each be for a specific map or gametype either, the map and gametype selecting system for the server would work in the same way that it does now.

It is something that I would REALLY appreciate as I love Halo 3 and want to start playing it again, but am deterred by the long search times (with good connection preference which is extremely long, so don't tell me that it isn't) and the lag (when I don't search for a good connection).

Console games do not run on a server system. Halo is not programmed to be.

Gears of War 3... Homefront... Killzone 2... Plenty of console games use the system.

It would work because this game doesn't have a massive population any more.

Halo games made by Bungie are played on a host system.

Also your a little late. Halo 3 has been out for 3.5 years..why would they put it on servers now?


Because the population isn't so massive now, so it would be possible... It would remove problems with search times and finding games with good connections (for people from Australia, New Zealand etc.)

Also your statement about Bungie games is false, Halo 1 and 2 for PC offer a server list system.

I hope that you didn't vote for no based on that, I hope you voted according to what you want...
