WE NEED A DEDICATED TEAM SLAYER SERVER. Not a server that plays a couple of team slayer rounds, then switches to other lame-o games (i won't even mention them). Even a half-wit can recognize the need for a dedicated team slayer server(maybe the fact that everybody quits immediately after the team slayer game?). You have a bunch of dedicated CTF servers that don't throw in those other retarded games??? Team slayer is just like CTF, except without that pesky flag-SO IT IS ACTUALLY SUPERIOR TO CTF.

Look... it would be nice to use the multiplayer game to sharpen skills that apply to Halo and Halo 2, like shooting moving targets with various weapons and vehicles (NOT capturing flags, runing with skulls, or defending a circle<--these are not skills, nor will they EVER be). These are cheap, shameless distractors added to make it appear that Halo has more dimensions than it actually has (it's like putting a big blower vent and side-flames on a ferarri...it's a ferrari for god's sake, no additional crep required).

Additional gripe about respawn time:
You need to have instant respawn times, there is no excuse for having the delay.
Do you know why there aren't mission-time limits on Halo, and no "rescue the hostage" scenario's??? Microsoft did some hardcore "skinner-box" type testing and found out that gamers don't like stuff like that. We want to play the game, and play it now, not 15 seconds from now. How's about I come and spend the day with you, and everytime your about to do something you want to, I make you wait 15 seconds before you can do it...wouldn't that be fun? Especially when I say each time, "There's no reason for me to do this other than the satisfaction that I get from excercising power over you and watching you become frustrated as I put little impediments in your way."

Yeah, yeah, yeah nothing but ramblings from another cry-baby fanatic, so why give a rats-arse? There are so few joys in this world, and even fewer things that can be called "perfect", that when something comes as close to both as halo does you want to do all that you can to make it perfect, and just can't seem to accept anything less.

I agree. A few good dedicated servers hosted by bungie would compensate a bit for no Halo 2 on the PC.

Personally, I love Halo PC. My vid team (Consistant of WarHammer01 and myself, so not all that big) is constantly making vids of Halo PC and Halo PC mods, so to enter a lag-free super-server to get some good filming sessions would rule!

c'mon people, you know you want this and the only chance we have is if we all demand it in one voice...kind of like those fanatic-terrorists that make a single demand, and not like Congress that makes an ambiguous rule and adds a bunch of other crazy stuff to it. We have to keep our demands simple....we want a dedicated team-slayer server to play team-slayer 24/7 and not have other games mixed in. We want it to be an official server to gain benefits such as reliability, consistency, lag-free/cheat-free gameplay...and we don't want to have to pay extra to get it (cough*cough* F.. GameSpy).
