The problem with a custom game search is that now Halo 3 turns into every other game on XBL- and ultimately, people will just stop playing. I truly think that this will happen- custom game searches will take away from people playing MM on a consistent basies, and then it gets just as little traffic as other games do. Have you ever tried playing another game over XBL? It's murder just to get into one, and let alone play it for longer than 20 minutes before everyone leaves. It's kind of like joining the custom game of one of your friend's friends. It always just ends up being lame. IMO i like custom game over MM, and alot of other will agree with me
Don't get me wrong- I LOVE custom games. I haven't played in MM in months. But I'm thinking that both Bungie and MS want Halo 3 to have the longevity of Halo 2- I don't think that the custom game searches will allow for this to be fleshed out. The good thing about MM (that keeps Halo 2 so easy to play for many people) is that it just puts you straight into a game, without all the fuss. It's actually the easiest game to just jump online and play out of any I've seen. Very user friendly.
