Allright, now i know in custom games, you can select your map and every teeny weeny specification to your liking. It is good, when you have friends online. When everyone is in matchmaking and you're all alone, it's a different story.
I personally think that it is fucking retarded that there isn't an option to choose at least the map in optimatch. I understand that it may be unfair in rumble pit, team slayer and other ranked games, as some people have maps that they have honed their skills on, but at least in rumble training, this would be a blessing.
I like Lockout, for instance. I say, if there are other Lockout junkies like me, who want to play lockout, we can have the damn option to. If not in ranked games, at least in rumble training for god sakes. I drag myself through five or six fucking coagulation, collossus, and foundation shitbag maps, with shitbag gametypes, before i get a half decent Lockout or Ascension battle. And even THEN, you have to cross your fingers for a good game type, not random weapons or sword duel or some other dumb shit.
With such a good game, why would bungie fuck up so bad as to do this? I understand that you may like the maps or gametypes that i mentioned as bad, so ignore them if they offend you, but post your thoughts at least.
Would you want to be able to select your maps, in ranked or even unranked optimatch games, on Halo 2 on xbox live?
