Subject: Matchmaking

How is it possible to change the maps to what you want to play in matchmaking.

I see this happening all the time but am unable to find any means by which to do it.

The veto system? Or are you referencing when a player is unable to load a certain map?

  • 01.05.2012 10:07 AM PDT

You're telling us, that after playing over 2000 matchmade games in Halo 3 and however many games you played in Halo: Reach, you still don't know how to veto?

I thought this was a joke topic until I saw your stats. Your stats tell me you are being serious.

How on Earth do you have a 0.24 K/D ratio in Reach? You have a 0.24 K/D ratio in both Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, I'm certain you don't give a rat's ass what gametype/map combo you play.

  • 01.05.2012 2:03 PM PDT

I appreciate the replies given by all members even those that wish to slag off my gaming abilities, but my question was not about veto, it was about simply changing the map to a map of choice when playing in Matchmaking.

I go to matchmaking select my game type and up comes a map, fine.

But then after the map has been selected presumably by the computer and after all gamers have been selected and in the count down to the game start, suddenly the game will change to something totally different, same players some times but a totally different map.

Just a point for all those players that like to brag about how good they are, if not for the losers you would not be winners.

someone has to lose, I don't mind losing but it bugs me that the game maps keep repeating themselves so much, when there are so many other good maps to play.

Oh just one other thing, I don't play reach that often as yet, i'm working my way through the Halo 3 game attempting to gain as much of the game as possible using that which the game offers without the aid of cheats.

I'm sure there are many cheats on the halo 3 game especially when you find you empty a whole machine gun into a player and this still are able to turn around and one quick burst of a hand gun and you die but if you have to cheat to win then you are not winning.

I know there are plenty of cheats on this game as other players have offered me cheat codes and other things, I also know the game is not equal even though you gain much of the in game achievments.

Also I know there are cheats on this game because of the way the game produces the selection process of gamers.

So please lets not pretend how great some of these players are.

But my post was not about the cheating going on.

  • 01.06.2012 3:35 AM PDT

um

it sounds like people in the game just cant load the map, so it skips even after veto

umno.

there are probably 0 cheaters left on halo 3 in 2012, except for the tradional host boosters/standbyers at 50 high, but not actual game hacks.

you're just getting destroyed cause your bad

duff b0y 1o1

When I go in to matchmaking this happens a lot to me, a map comes up then suddenly just when it is about to start the game it will change to a completely different map.

The thing is it is not just one map it may scroll through two or three maps before it settles to a map not always but sometimes, most times it will simply change from one map to another at the point of 1 or 2 seconds to start the game.

It looks as though someone is actually changing the maps to suit themselves, and if that is the case then how can this be done as I have seen no means by which to do it.

I don't mind getting smashed in the game but believe me or not that is your choice there definately are cheats in this game, other players have had the same experience as myself and it often puts them off playing at all.

I've stood directly behind another player shooting with the machine gun empty a whole mag into them, they turn round two shots with the hand gun i'm dead they run off.

If that ain't cheating I don't know what is!

  • 01.06.2012 3:46 AM PDT

I have never not once seen sandtrap on matchmaking, there are also 3 new maps for h3 and only twice have they ever come out in matchmking.

So if the maps are random there is something seriously wrong with the random selection process.

So can I take it that there is supposed to be no way to change the maps other than veto in matchmaking?

It's not like it is only restricted to maps that some players may not have, this occurs on maps that we all have or should have.

if they knew how to cheat, they'd make it 1 shot, not 2.

it's probably lag

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

It's just because someone is playing without all the DLC. Certain playlsts allow players to play without all DLC, but will still select the DLC maps because the game thinks that everyone has the maps. If they don't have it, the map and game mode change. Also, players occasionally can't load maps due to a scratched disc, etc. Does that answer your question?

  • 01.06.2012 7:15 AM PDT

That would be a problem with the disk. If it's happening nearly every game for you, that would mean it is YOUR disk. Your disk is scratched to where it cannot load certain maps. So, obviously, it won't let you play those maps when they come up. Get a new disk.

  • 01.06.2012 7:18 AM PDT

There is a little glitch, if the host cannot load the map sometimes, it will change the map by its self, but that's only sometimes.

this and there are very few people left who cheat, there are some host booters still but that's it.. there is no one who can manipulate health, damage or shots from a gun.. I understand if you lose alot but don't come on the forums complaining about cheaters when there are none. there is lag and weird connection issues sometimes but that's not cheating, its just a mexican or foreign host problem

  • 01.06.2012 9:20 PM PDT

look with regard to the cheating issue, i'm not complaining about them, i'm just saying it seems pointless playing a game if the only way someone can win is by cheating, I'm not the only one that has this problem, I know others that see exactly the same thing happen with regard to the way the game plays out.

Not only have I experienced the emptying of a machine gun into a player to then have them turn around and a couple shots and die this happens to other players as well.

It is not only lag, as there are different systems being used ie cable or none cable, but same problems, now you can't tell me it is down to my system that they are experiencing the same issues when they use a totally different system to my own.

Also if there are no cheaters on this game why would people offer me cheats, why would you be able to put cheat codes in to speed up your player and so on.

But that is not such a huge issue for me as like I said if someone has to cheat to win then they might as well not play at all.

I have other games I could play but from what I have been reading it seems cheating is a problem with these games also.

Some people just simply take these games far to seriously, they are supposed to be games fun, I play them for the entertainment value I get out of them and like I said I don't mind losing as it is only a game but it is a game that should be equal, all players should have the same chance of winning, but they don't.

  • 01.07.2012 4:22 AM PDT

As for the reason why I posted this question in the first place, ie changing the matchmaking maps.

I have two discs of this game one which came with odst and one with the actual halo 3 game on it, but this occurs oddly enough irrespective of which disc I use, like I said some maps continually load up while others never do, some maps will suddenly change to something completely different on count down irrespective of what map that may be as though someone was changing the map.

All I wanted to know was if it was possible to actually change the map at will, and if not then how come the map is changing, other than veto I found no means by which to do this in matchmaking which seemed odd.

The suggestion of a dodgy disc is a good one but as I have two discs unless it is another person within the matchmaking collection of gamers then it cannot be so.

Lag was suggested also for some of the issues related to the cheating, but again this is something that happens not only to myself but to atleast one other using a much faster system than my own, so again a potential but does not seem likely.

All of the issues seem only to come from online games.

I know i'm a crap player but all competitive games need us crap players in order for the good players to be classed as good, if not for us crap players the good players would never be classed as good in fact many would be classed as the crap players themselves so lets not go down this line.

We know there are cheats on this game, we also know that the game is not equal, in fact one player I was reading was complaining about how bad the computer was at selecting players for him to play against on his new account and how he was being beaten all the time using his new account but on his old account he was one of the top dogs.

I thought that to be a bit odd if the game was equal his skill level should be the same, but it wasn't he claimed.

So clearly not equal.

  • 01.07.2012 4:36 AM PDT

Check out the br riffle for example, I empty a whole clip into a player running away he turns around one brrrr and i'm dead how is that equal.

I can understand armour upgrades could make your armour tougher but it seems somewhat odd just how tough some of the armour is on some of the players.

And yet when I play the game my armour is not such a big problem, if there are no cheats on this game it seems rather odd just how tough their armour seems to be, also how some players seem to pop up out of the blue not showing up on the radar or how they are impossible to target due to them flashing from one place to the next without any trace.

This last one may well be down to lag but again i'm not the only one this happens to.

Armor doesn't change your health at all. I think it's likely that you were either on a suck host or your connection is just awful. The instances you are giving sound exactly like the ones most people complain about and there's almost always an explanation. If you could post a link to one of these games, we'd know more what you mean.

It sounds like you are blaming things for your lack of talent.

And im not even trying to be mean, but it really seems like you are just really bad and are trying to blame cheating.

A scratched disc. I was in a lobby for 30 minutes before because of it.

there is no such thing as cheat codes for halo dude... This isn't playstation 1 or gamecube man... The only legit cheat i have ever seen and is very very rare is an aimbot, but there is only a few ppl that have one..

there are also mods for certain armor variants and such but those players all got banned a while ago

on another note, everything you describe is consistent with lag, really bad lag, not cheating and i've experienced this too, just not so often
