Halo 3 (online) noob question

okay so I just got Halo 3 a few hours ago. First I tried the offline, and that was fun (enemies are semi-intelligent, but they arent up there with the AI in FEAR or anything) and then I tried the online. The online was okay, but honestly my experience was hampered by the fact that the only game type I played was Slayer. Now, I have to tell you, I HATE DM games. I HATE them. I honestly believe that all DM games rely on lucky spawn kills. I was playing the Basic Training playlist, and now that I have a bit of a feel for the controls, the weapons, the powerups and such, I am wondering how I can find a TDM game. Well, anything team based would work for me whether its CTF, Zones, Assassination, w/e as long as its team based.

If you honestly believe that the only way you can win is by lucky spawn kills well then your wrong. I know you got the game very recently and thats probably the main issue. Give it time and learn the maps and learn some good basic halo skills and you will realize that regular slayer can be fun. I personaly like team based game more than every man for himself, mainly because i dont have to rely on myself as much and you cna count on others more if you know them.DLXMAN

I wasnt really specifically attacking Halo 3 with my "I hate DM games" thing, more about DM games in general. CSS, UT3, and CoD4 have all taught me that the largest factor in staying ahead in DM maps, is lucky spawning. Dont get me wrong, the firefights with the people in Slayer were intense and fun, and after a while, I learned how to strategically get kills, rather than just running around holding down the trigger. However, as a rule, I usually dont like DM games, and was just wondering how to access the team based ones.
