Title: I Dont Get It.....
Post by: bigjonny on November 09, 2004, 10:23:00 PM
why does it make me find a new match after every sigle one.  maybe im just doin somethin wrong but i heard other people on live talkin about it and i never heard an answer.  do any of u know y this is or if theres a way to actually stay in the game like crimson skies.  i like how bungie can pick another host if the first quits but wats the point when the match is over and u have to find another.  why cant they take u bak to the match setup and go again?  i really dont get it and wonder if im just doin somethin wrong.  thanks for the help and sorry for adding another halo 2 thread  <

yea I hope they fix this somehow.

I mean it takes over 3 minutes just to find and get in, then the game last for only 5 minutes and I have to search all over again.

Are the no 30minute - hour long games, no continuous servers?  searching 3 minutes just to play for 5 is kinda stupid at this time.

and where are the 32 person servers? some xbox dude at the release said the scaled down from 64 to 32, but the most I've played has been 16  <

What are you guys talking about? I can stay in the same party for a number of games.

Maybe you are pressing B at the stats screen after the match? That will exit you from the party. Just wait for the host to jump to the next screen.  <

I am in New Zealand and was on Live within an hour of the game Launching. Matchmaking was very fast, under 30 seconds to start a match. This would be because the majority of people were locals, fewer people on Live and everyone was at the same skill level. Now matchmaking seems to takes 60 - 90 seconds to gather people.  <

beerchug.gif Frankly I'm sick of everybody crying about this or that."I can't get online, Ive been banned, it sucks, theyover hyped it"....blah blah blah.
From experience I made sure that I didn't over hype the game and am taking it for face value....a great shooter game with great online play.  If people are stupid enough to try and get online with a modded box and just expect to turn their chip off and "puff"  magic happens and M$ does'nt realize there online with a Stock xbox they deserve to get banned.  With xbc and Kai out there breaking there humps for people to enjoy free online gaming experience everybody wants to run run run and get on live...stupid.  And whats even more stupid is I sat here all day reading post of people getting banned and and what do people do who read the same posts I do...........try and go on XBL.
Whats going on here?  
What i ask you?
What?
Peace

If you are competing you are forced to play somebody new everytime.  

If you do the optimatch or whatever you will stay with the same party.    <

Matchmaking/ optimatch games are ranked, while party games are not. For the ranking system to be fair, every ranked game MUST be random to prevent friends from killing each other repeatedly to increase to their ranking. Because party games are not ranked, you are allowed to completely customize the game and pick and choose who you play with and for how long.

I played a Kai game last night with 22 people that was smooth as butter.  Yeah it's rare to find someone that can serve that kind of game but it does happen and it's sweet when it does, and I elieve Live limits to 16 players?  

So what your saying is halo 2 via system link can have more then 16 players?  This is news to me.
