Why doesn't Halo 3 feature a custom games server list – Halo PC-style? Perhaps it's because of matchmaking. If such a feature was available to Halo 3 players, the number of people using matchmaking would decrease. But wouldn't that be because gamers would be able to do what they want? And, if so, doesn't that mean they're only playing matchmaking because that's their only option if they want to get their Halo 3 on? Isn't that a bad thing?
Maybe people would continue playing matchmaking – perhaps advancedmn is wrong in their assertion. Maybe it's the custom games browser that nobody would use. They doubt it, but it could happen. Anything can happen.
Halo PC had this feature four years ago, and it worked just fine. StarCraft, a ten-year-old RTS on PC, has the feature. And so does every WarCraft game ever made. Numerous first-generation Xbox Live games – on the original Xbox – allowed you to do it, too. Rainbow Six 3. Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. Crimson Skies. Mechassault. Project Gotham Racing 2. Do they need to continue? Why doesn't Halo 3?
" I didn't quit playing Halo 2 because it was mechanically flawed (it was). I quit playing Halo 2 because I didn't have a choice."
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing.

In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
They need to do something quick or they are going to start losing about a third (or more) of the H3 players to HL2:OB, Mass Effect, COD4 and all the other games just over the horizon.
Not that everyone's going to suddenly sell their copies but Halo 3 Matchmaking needs a lot of people playing to match people evenly and quickly.
agree, they really need to add in a custom game search....it sucks when it becomes a challenge to play with your friends once all of you have different skill levels and want to play with other people also...custom game searches are something that is STANDARD on all online games....come on bungie, man up and give us custom game searches!!!!
