Do you like Yax? I do.

I've recently started playing Halo 3 again, and it usually take 5+ minutes to find a game.

Halo 3 matchmaking isn't dead, but it is reaching the end of its life. It's still easy to find a match, but it's getting slower and slower as the days go by. It has about 6-7 months left or at least until Gears 3 comes out.


Maybe but people still playing Halo 3 are mostly diehards at this time. I mean how many new FPS games have come out now since Halo 3? It will die in the not too distant future but I doubt it will be because of Gears of War.

Its funny I remember reading about how MW2 was going to kill Halo 3 and now here we are 2 years later with another Halo and another COD out since then and there are still people playing Halo 3. Not nearly as many but we are still here.

Suck it Red!

Halo 3 is a great game, I prefer it over Reach and it usually only takes me a few minutes to find a match and I have a moderate NAT and an ok connection. Too bad its almost impossible to get a custom game going now though.

Reach is a joke compared to any of the previous 3 Halo's.

@crosseyedmonkee
I disagree with you on all points here.Armour abilities do not render the game unbalanced because everyone is issued the same armour abilities and can pick the one they favour.The speed and jump height point is rediculous because one i don't notice that much of a differance and two I just pick sprint anyway(I personally never use any other AA).Vehicle damage resistance is fine I have no idea what you're ranting on about.The DMR does do everything but slow the game down.If you are a skilled player(I am certainly not implying I am because im not)you can have someone dead within seconds.I never find that armour abilities steal perfect sniper shots because they should be dead after the first shot and if not just wait for them to drop the shield than shoot their guts out(same points with the sticky).the grenades are definatly not over powered it's just that Bungie have made the Halo reach online harder than halo 3 by lowering the health.I dont now what you're talking about in your energy sword point(genuinly im not disagreeing with you're point i just don't know what you mean).The ranking system in Reach admitadly could use some work but you saying that it differs from halo 3/2's ranking in the fact that you need skill is a lie because in 3/2 you just need to play a lot and assun=ming you're team is okay you win most games so you rank up even if your sub-par.
I quite frankly love halo reach (I am definatly not saying i disliked 3 infact i prefer 3 i just feel it is slightly 'Outdated')I play halo reach and have adapted to it and if i were you i'd give it another try. *breaths in and out after typing long reply* :P

RIP Bungie Service Records. You shall be missed.

H3 Matchmaking isn't dead. I see over 35000 people online EVERY DAY and I always find a match within 30 seconds. And I'm NOT from Mexico.

I noticed that too. Where did all these Mexicans come from? And in Social almost everyone is an Enlisted, not even an officer. noobs

When I play Halo 3 I can get a match in about two minutes. Not dead at all.
