Well, match making would be fine as long as they don't make it the only option, they have to have the ranking system. Ranking is a great system, but match making should be done as a option for playing really quick so if you don't want to search for a server just let the game handle the problem. It's all about options.

Also, yay, the thread has now reached the 300 mark in 13 days. Let's keep this thread going, we should be able to make over 10000 by the time the game comes out at this rate. Seriously the game will probably take a whole year to come out and this thread is going in people posting. So do the math and we get over 10000. lets try and get 10000. It'll be a forum record I think and a record in the histories of threads.

Thanks a moose for the correction.

Good spot. Ten thousand, thousands is, well, a lot of zeros....10 million posts, to be exact. I don't reckon that even Halo has a big/crazy enough following to be able to post that many times in a single thread.

Uh, please don't attempt to prove me wrong, which would cause the Bungie Mods to be filled with rage unto destruction, so that they would force me to drink strawberry milkshakes through my nose.

EDIT: Does anyone know the true difference between 1 million and 1 billion? It's only three extra zeros, right? Consider these questions before you decide:

If a new-born child only lived to be 1 million seconds old, how old would it be?

Answer: 11.5 days old

If a new-born child only lived to be 1 billion seconds old, how old would it be?

Answer: 31.7 years old

Doesn't that just blow you away?

How long would a newborn baby live if it lived for only INFINITE seconds?

... INFINITE YEARS!

No, seriously.

Hey, there's an idea. Have a server setting for time limit: -1, score limit: -1

ergo an infinitely long game.

How's THAT for a Halo 2 match?

You can get a score of -1 in halo, just so you know.

Yes, you might think i am on some drugs but iam not. I have been going to college for some time and they are offering many computer classes. One of them is called the Preperation for the A+ exame. Basicly what it is its a class where you are trained how to fix and repair windows based system and as well trouble shoot hard ware issues as well. Now you are asking me what does this have to do with anything. Well if you want windows vista for free, you have to take this class at your local community college. Get signed up and your teacher will sign you up for Microsfts student program. This is a wonderful ever so great thing. What this lets you do is allow you to go to web site where you can download any windows os for FREE!!!!!!! Microsofts appreictes students who are training for microsofts products...so this is their gift to you. However, like i said you have to take the class, pay for the units which is not very much pass the class with aleast a D, and bam you get your Windows Vista for free. But you only get to download one different OS per machine. Also you can noly download the OS's durning the duration of your current enrolled semiester. I did this and i got windows 2003 sever, Windows XP PRO SP2, SP1, OEM, and Windows 98SEC, also virtual PC. you can dowload the os for free or order the cd for 10 dollars

So if your love Halo 2 for Pc let your freinds know what i said and they will love for it.

sorry for the bad spelling

Don't think you have to enrol in any specific class, just being a student that uses a computer (windows obviously) can get atleast a discount.

Uh, but maybe people wanna do something else like become an enginner, programmer, or scientist. Who would want to change their entire life and possible in their image ruin it for a new OS.

I totally agree! Optional matchmaking to find player with similar skills= more fun to play.

I got the idea of making it an option, from Blizzard's game Warcraft 3 and Warcraft 3:FT, which I play and it'sa really great game. Anyways Warcraft 3 has a system similar to this, I think they invented it first, which you click on this button and the game starts searching for people with a similar skill levels and you play. The only problem with the system should be that sometimes it's takes forever to get into a game. But this works both ways too as sometimes it takes only 1 second to find a game and I should know becasue in Warcraft 3, sometimes I pushed the matchmaking button, went to watch TV and then I heard the matchmaking finishing sound 1 second later. So I went wow....

Back on topic... They should have a ranking system, so it's a little bonus in getting better and better, ranking gives the person meaning to get better.

no no, this class is an elective. its not a life changing class or anything like. Taking this class is what prepares you to pass the actual test so you can get a certificate to run a computer reapir shop or something, but you dont have to get the certificate if you dont want to. I didn't. i took the class becuse it was fun and i got an A in it. just taking the class will make you eleigable to get the free OS's provided. You can even take the class as a pass or no credit class so it wont affect your GPA. So what do you have to lose. Take the class get a bunch of expensive software for free.

also the student discounts suck. I remeber the class being worth 4 units and it cost 35 dollars to enroll. So its like paying 35 dollars when it really cost 299$. Now thats a discount!!!

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

Better main dedicated servers! All those player made ones was the worst eva! *Sigh*
Oh and the MP have to be just as fun as the lucky one playing LIVE! Lag = joykiller deluxe oh and not lets talk about the cowardly hackers, n00bs and so called HardCores, sickens me.

Oh as they did in Halo PC by including the Banshee in MP, please include the moongoose in Halo 2 PC MP.

Well, anyway we should get back on the topic of this thread.

Well, matchmaking should be added to the list on the front page but only as a quick game option, and there should be a ranking system.
