Subject: What about a virtual lobby?

While your buddy is off using the can, or getting a drink between games, we're waiting around for the next game to start. H3 should automatically put you in a lobby level that would have complex jumps or moving targets, ghost racing, warthog racing, anything that you could walk around in and occupy time until everyone is ready for the next match.

it's been posted before, but not exactly like this (the other person suggested just walking around)

it could work out ok, but....maybe not

I like the idea kind of like dead or alive 4 where you pick your animal or person and can just chat and watch matches.

That would be immensely cool I think. Slightly pointless since you can switch to a TV channel with a remote (yes, that amazing invention cherished by all ^_^) in order to fill your time. But nonetheless, I'd like that a lot. Warthog War's are always fun (kind of like Destruction Derby but with 'Hogs)

For me, I say it's a very cool idea, but I'd rather Bungie focus on better in-game gameplay if it means they have to sacrifice time in order to develop and hone a virtual lobby, since you can do other things while you wait.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

i think since you can already take part in live chat while your 360 is turned on with anyone the need for a virtual lobby isn't really high. while waiting you could just sit around and talk story, or drop to the dashboard and play some of the arcade games and have your friends message you to come back in.
