What do you think of Halo: Reach?
I think it is B.O.R.I.N.G... and I agree with Honorable Heroic Member, "N7R" and I quote...
"You cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail."
Unquote.
Halo 3's servers are not in the best shape at the moment.
If you go to matchmaking and you can't play...
These reasons could be the problem.
1.) Matchmaking DLCs:
Do you have the Mythic Disk or any DLCs? If not, it is possible that the Ranked Playlist requires the DLCs, "Legendary Map Pack", "Mythic Map Pack" and "Heroic Map Pack". If you go to Social you do not require the listed DLCs for playing the matchmaking.
2.) Matchmaking Bug:
From time to time, Halo 3's online servers get an odd bug that will say, "Someone is joining game..." or "Reloading Playlist..." This is a common bug and just swap playlists between Ranked and Social to fix the error. (Sometimes this bug proves to be completely annoying and will not go away if you reload the playlist variants. This means one thing, you must be wait to few mins [1-4 minutes].)
3.) I can't find anyone... Why?
This depends on your internet speed and NAT settings. If you wait for a bit, you'll find a match. (Trust me, I wait about 5 to 10 minutes for a Big Team Match on Halo 3.)
4.) The game just keeps restarting search... Why?
This is another bug with Halo 3's servers. It will from time to time say restarting search multiple times because one player in the current game left and/or lagged out. To fix, stop searching and then manually restart the search.
5.) I finally get a match but the map and gametype keep randomly changing...
Why is this happening?
This is one of the more "strange" bugs on the Halo 3 servers. When you finally get a match started with people, especially in a Social game, the gametype and map with switch in and out about four to five times... Once before voting, During the voting, After the voting and when the game loads the voted map. This bug is rare though... and only happens about 1 out of 100 chance. But, still I rare and odd sight to see your matchmaking game randomly going crazy for no reason...
I hope this little assistance guide can help you with your problem. Even though I'm not a Bungie Worker, I'm going to say this... "Sorry for the the troubles on Halo 3, I hope you can play without a problem next time." Seriously, I hope you can play Halo 3 without a hitch next time! =D
