Anyone else think that the custom games make halo the dominant game in fun

Nvm.

No. Maybe in Halo 3, but not Reach.

Ever wonder what's up there?

Not having to play a certain ammount of hours to get access to OP guns, perks, attachments and all that other BS that adds to all the FPS's unbalance.

I disagree. Good customs can be much better quality than MM. Of course what exactly defines a good custom game differs from player to player. I imagine that what you and I find fun would bore the OP and vice versa.

That said, for me the most fun thing about Halo is that if I do something right I feel rewarded for my actions even if the game doesn't tell me so.
It just feels really good to get a quick series of assists, to win a fight over a power weapon, to get that clutch kill (or multikill), to score the flag or arm that bomb etc, etc.
Admittedly hearing the announcer and seeing a bunch of medals when you get a big multi or a long spree is pretty awesome too.

I think it feels that way because (except for Reach) everybody spawns with the exact same gear so you know that you either outplayed somebody or got outplayed. I just like the honesty of the game in that aspect.

Playing with friends makes any multiplayer game fun as long as it isn't head through glass unbearable. Most games aren't bad enough to be something people refuse to play out of frustration.

Long time players can get frustrated, but the game can still be enjoyed after a good cool down time.

Also Customs was what made Halo great, but now the new fake progression system reinforces not playing Customs which means only little kids who don't understand the ranking system and experienced long time payers who don't care about the ranking system, are the only ones who still play customs regularly.

Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

If you have a lot of friends customs are legit, but the only thing that makes Halo fun in my opinion, is a good community, without that, there is NO hope for it ever being successful/fun.
