Subject: Let's Play Some Private Games Since Browser Is Down!

my name in live is matthewsjc1 If you add me, maybe we could get some games going using private invite (pretty sure we can do that w/o master server up).

Private matches don't work in H2V either. The master server is down, not just the server browser.

Actually, I'm pretty sure private matches will work. I'm a software engineer and have worked on many network systems. The only job the master server does (in most cases) is act like a "linker", providing clients with a list of available servers. When the client picks on, the master server provides the client with the server info (ip, etc). The actual network handling is handled by the dedicated server. Private matches should work, because you're inviting someone into your game and your machine acts as the server and provides the net info directly to the client in order to connect, ie no master server required. I already tried running a private match and it worked fine. So, anybody up for some private matches?

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

As right as matthews was on that matter, it's not farfetched to expect a game as badly coded as H2V to require some pointless handshaking with a master server to join a game via IP.

Besides, dumber things have been posted on this forum. Like H2 "taking just as much or more skill than CE to play," for example.
