HALO 3= Worst Matchmaking/lobby system EVER!

Halo 3 is wicked fun and I like it a lot but it has one HUGE Flaw.. The way it pratically forces you to play a ranked match that you dont want to play. For example when i start matchmaking for a ranked match lets say it puts me in a "Shotty Snipers" game or "Rockets" game,it doesnt let you quit without getting that "Do not quit unless you want to be penalized and considered a quitter" type message. Thats what I LOVE about Gears, you can actually choose the game type you want to play so easily and you know exactly what game you are getting because thats what you choose. But no, with Halo 3 its a roll of a dice, for people that absolutly hate shotty snipers (Such as myself) we are forced to play the match or quit and be "Penalized", thats just messed up.

Its even more messed up because when it actually matches you in a game and before the match starts up and it says the name of the map and match type you are about to play, you cant even quit from there!! If your lucky enough people will "Veto" the map but if they dont veto your screwed. Other than that Halo 3 plays like a dream, but that is one HUGE flaw that gets on my nerves. Why should i Be FORCED to play a ranked match type i did not choose to play, they should atleast let you filter out the type of team matches you want to play. Like being able to select regular team slayer, rockets etc..

who cares about ranked matches, i like to start up private matches and play a few of my family memebers.HeHateMe_basic

I get what your saying but Im all about ranked matches, why cant it be awesome like gears and just simply let you choose the match type and even the map you want to play! I also have Warhawk on PS3 and it even lets you choose the exact match and match type you want to play, so does shadowrun!! Why cant halo be that way?!

playing halo 3 tomorrow but that is what i hated about matchmaking in halo2. It give you so little options. i like server based game where you can choose your map and game type better bionicle_lover

Heck yea man, Thats what I LOVE about Gears, it has spoiled me so much with being able to choose match type and even the map you want to play, i really hate Halo's matchmaking system

Sounds like a horrible way to do things.

i agree with you...but i think the reason is bungie wants you to get good in all the levels not just one.... this is why its ranked b/c you have to be good everywhere.... other then that just make a custum game with friends or something...killtactics

true but I think they should ATLEAST Let you choose the game type because I personally hate Shotty Snipers, it has to be one of the worst online matche types ever created. Im old school, I want capture the flag or regular team deathmatch

I wouldn't know how the matchmaking is.

My brother has been playing Halo 3 for like 37 hours straight like a bum. I'm still waiting for him to get off so I can play my first MP match.
