Re: Bungie's quote on a Public Server Browser in H

In Response To: Bungie's quote on a Public Server Browser in H3 (Leviathan)


: Just noticed on the front page the post about Planet Halo's article. Just
: thought I'd let Louis Wu and other folks know where that 'Server Browser
: promise' that Mr. Titan mentioned originated from.

: Here's the quote from Dec. 2006 EGM (p 102-104).

: "..But now you can go one better: You can advertise it. Bungie has
: revamped Halo 3's Xbox Live interface to include a hopper just for custom
: game types. Here, you can post your DIY variant along with how many
: players you're seeking-for example say you only have four friends online
: and need to recruit another four. "It's like the oft-requested
: matchmaking for custom games," Green says. "If you want to play
: some crazy variant that you can't find in the hopper, what you can do is
: create that game, advertise it on Xbox Live public, and then see if people
: want to play it. Or go the other way: Check to see if there are any of
: those particular types of games going on.” In addition to the public
: browser for custom variants..."

: Don’t know if this was a ‘promise’ or not, but I do know anything can be cut
: in development. Sad this was one of those things, and I doubt Bungie could
: retroactively implement this into the game...but oh well! I guess I'll
: just have to be happy with the final product that already sucks hours and
: hours out of my life. :)

Thanks - I'd completely forgotten about that.

It's not really a 'promise' (heh - "really" is a totally unnecessary word in that phrase) - but I DO remember it now, and I DO remember being disappointed when it got cut.

Front page updated.
