I agree with the concept of some sort of public pregame lobby. Where if you dont have alot fo friends, you can join a public pre-game lobby. The way it is now is silly. You have to invite everyone or hope someone on your friends list will join. This takes forever. A public pre-game lobby where everyone can go to join/create a party sounds much better.

It would also be nice to join a party that's currently in matchmaking, then dick around in the meeting room until the rest of them finish the game and walk through the doorway.

I think a cooler idea for a pregame lobby would see you and the other players sitting alongside and across from one another in the soldier bay of a Pelican, flying over an endless stretch of water or something, and you could just look around and chat it up from there for a minute or so.

Instead of a lobby how about it be in a ship( like the POA) and it work exactly like you said and their would be a window were you could see pelicans taking off./sarcasm

That sounds vaguely rascist.

lol Black. :)

The Lobby thing sounds like a great idea! It would be fun to just mess around like if the party leader is doing something else for a few minutes. it's better than just sitting in front of your TV. Besides, that just means another place to find glitches! If people aren't so narrow-minded and are actually creative, they will probably come up with hundreds of things to do!

"Let's get out of the lobby, guys!" (lol)

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

I think that is one of the best Ideas said so far in all of halo 3 thinking, I mean imagine spartans in full armor, tinkering with guns and equipment before a game starts, I think this should be submited to bungie , because I think its a very original idea, and im sorry if 30 other games have done it,
or my addition to this idea,

have people on a pelican, the pregame lobby, or loading screen, or just start of a match could just be your team, (8 players right now) sitting in the back of a pelican flying toword something, or just flying in the clouds, it would act just like halo 1, where you could point your gun around and stuff, but if you press shoot, your character will just tamper with the gun, or change something on the scope, pretty much just what you do when you dont do anything for a long enough time, check ammo, etc.
and when the game starts, the pilot of the pelican could say "the drop zone is hot"
or.."get ready to rock and roll" or something like that.

Sounds fun, but is it even realistic? Maybe, but probably not.

This does have some serious potential.

Include a shooting range for people to blast paper targets, or perhaps even crude holographic images (taken from Halo 1 maybe?), an interactive tactical map on the other wall of the upcoming map and where people are going to spawn so that people can talk strategy if they so desire.

If the 360 could handle it without excessive load times it might be nice if the whole thing was looking down on a bay full of marines working on getting ready for battle. They could be loading pelicans with warthogs and weapon pods.

Of course, that's because a static screen let's you massage your willy between games.

How thoughtless of us to come up with such an idea that would affect your lifestyle so...

I reackon its a pretty good idea, so long that it didnt take any longer than it does now to create, join and start a game, if it caused delays in games then it a no, but i do like the idea, and when the game starts, the room transforms into the map, and you float to your starting point wso you get an overview of the map? but quickly.

lol, trinitrotoulene, i take it you are a chem student?

Anyway, on topic i think it would be kinda fun to have an actual lobby, pointless, but fun.

A lot of games already have this such as Guild Wars. But I wouldn't want it in a game like Halo. It might be cool the first time, but after that it wouldn't be so cool.

This is one of the best ideas ever for a Halo 3 feature.

But how would it work if the map was actually Bungie Studios?
