Reach should have a new feature where people can host their own custom games and other people can search and join those games for example an infection game..No XP required just play for fun..this would make reach way more fun instead of just playing what matchmaking has

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Public custom lobbies. I've been asking for that since Reach launched. With the flexibility that Forge gives us, it just makes sense. Even if it ran as an external application like Waypoint, with a CEA style Reach MM module in it, it would still be amazing. As it stands, the difficulty in finding people that play customs regularly and keeping them on your FL makes customs a chore to play. Well, unless you want to play infection on all of forge world with every weapon available.

I would even pay for an additional disc that was specifically Reach Custom Edition or something like that, with the sole purpose of hosting and joining public customs.

Seems like it would be pretty straight-forward, given that customs your friends are in get listed and you can just join them. All it would need to do is give you a list of random people that are in customs. Hell, it could be as simple as adding a new network. They've got the whole local/system link/xbox live friends thing set up. Doesn't seem that hard to add a live customs setting.

How would one do this?


Same as in Gears of War 1, CoD3 etc search for custom games and a list of available matches pops up where we can select witch one we want to join.

Just need a server that keeps track of who's hosting, and gives players access to join them. Beyond that it's just a little interface. Really simple. Been around forever.
