will you be able to...

[TW Cheese]

make your own servers when it comes out so it won't be like CoD when it first came out?

[Zoso Fan]

I think i read something on that with an interview about the multiplayer booth at E3. Not sure though...

[lol]

if anything it wont be like cod2 with lag :)

[KoKoS]

I liked the way Halo 2 worked, but a way to search for public games would be cool too.

[RIGOR_MORTIS]

I like Halo 2's matchmaking... Nothing I hate more than finally getting in a room (In Ghost Recon or other games)... waiting 7 minutes for a game to finish... And then hearing those words from the host when they get back in the room:

"OK guys great game, I gotta go... Be back on later!"

And I'm like... Well.... F***.

[Zoso Fan]

I just hope you can make a custom game, instead of "always random levels and guns"

[KoKoS]

Oh yeah, something that really NEEDS to be in there, is the automatic new host selection. Not that the game falls out as soon as a host leaves.

I definately agree! Good Point!

[D3LTA 38]

I know all of you have played Halo 2 and have expierenced standbyers. I personally love the matchmaking system but I really hope they have some kind of thing were as soon as you start to lag for more than 2 seconds your out to prevent standbyers. They should also have ranked and unranked maybe even custom like Halo 2. lol.

[KoKoS]

Oh god D3LTA, I really hope they will make it (almost) impossible to cheat. Also, a great feature to put in the multiplayer would be: More than 4 suicides in ranked games: kick. Because that stuff still pisses me off badly.

Ya, and the host should also be able to decide how many times a player can comit suicide or team kill. I would change it to two. First can be an accident. But after that... SEE YA!:D

[Uday23]

i sure hope it is cumstimizable game, hopefully like halo

[last spartan]

thats a good idea:D

[ThunderBunny4]

people killing themselves always makes me mad, i hope they do set a limit to that, and being able to make a custom game and play it online would be kewl, that way you arent always playing maps that you suck a lot on *cough cough* halo 2 when i had a snipers match on lockout three tiems in a row *cough cough*

[SKM D34TH]

well, a mix would be cool, a fast search for Public Games(Like Ghost Recon but you can Join Mid Game and it doesnt drop when the host leaves) for Ranked a Party System like Halo would be nice 2.

[Violation²]

Yes, option for a custom game would add so much more depth

[uR wOrSt nIgHtMaRe]

that would be soooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Uday23]

I just hope you can make a custom game, instead of "always random levels and guns"

thats my main concern

[rEDChief55]

thats my main concern
i dont think you will have to worry about it, but i will find out tomorrow probly

[Gameplay]

What I am really looking forward to is creating your own maps. There are plenty of multiplayer games where you can create your own maps and present them online. I think that would be really cool. Clans can create what would be their own little version of the GOW world, invite other clans to their turf and war it out. Take supreme control of someone elses map. Create a tournament where 8 custom maps are up for grabs, clans battle it out for total dominance. Cool.

[Uday23]

i dont think you will have to worry about it, but i will find out tomorrow probly

what do u mean u will find out tommorrow? are u planning a raid on cliffy's house?:D

[rEDChief55]

what do u mean u will find out tommorrow? are u planning a raid on cliffy's house?:D
close......jk......i might be able to ask him or mark tomorrow thats all

[HorTyS]

the only thing i wish halo's multiplayer had was the ability to search for a specific map and gametype. it should just be kinda like splinter cell's online is, you can just search map/ gametype etc... or you can quickmatch and just join the quickest game they find...

[SKM D34TH]

what is Mark gunna be in the IRC or do you have a inside man?

[SKM Titan]

I just hope they give us the ability to CHOOSE our server/map/game options/gametype when searching for a server. I hope they give us a sever list system.

In Halo 2's matchmaking system, you couldn't choose your map/sever/gametypes/game options, so you were constantly getting stuck with games you hate and cheaters. The lack of choices in Halo 2's matchmaking system was what caused me to stop playing the game. I hope Gears of War doesn't have a matchmaking system similar to Halo 2's, and if it does, I hope they implement a server list as well.

[JizzO]

Yes, option for a custom game would add so much more depth

I remember asking Mark about it when he came to the IRC and he said you could customize "to some extent". I'm not quoting him on that exactly, I just can't remember if that's what he said or not, but there will be customization.

[SKM D34TH]

GRAW had the Options that could make Various types, not as extensive as halo but its good. i wouldnt Mind a Implent of a Server list or a Revamped Halo 2 style, that let you choose which Gametypes/Maps to exclude.

also the TrueSkill and your gamerzone have to start doing something and matching you with good people who arent Left alot of feedback for Cheating.

[Quicksilver]

I hope Epic doesn't have matchmaking like halo 2 did. The custom games were fun, but the matchmaking was crappy. Who really wants to play a random map or gametype? People have been playing the same maps on Counter Strike for years, random sucks; people like to choose. The custom games on Halo 2 would of been better if there were public rooms (server listings).

[VeniVediVeci]

how about we stop talking about halo 2, and talk about gears... i have never played it so i can't have any suggestions from it... so let's not talk about halo2 anymore, please

[soadnation]

it shouldn't be how many suicides they commit in a game it should be how many you commit in a row. somtimes you could have a high amount of suicides and they could all of been accidents however, if they have somthing like four in a row chances are they are doing it on purpose. I also hope they ahev the halo 2 host switching option. I thought that after halo 2 most online games would have that feature since it makes the game more enjoyable. Unfortunently not that many games have added it.
