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. :) I forgot to mention the page number in my little write up, sorry about the trouble I caused. But it looks like you guys found the quote on pg. 102 and 104 of the December 06 EGM Issue. Thanks for looking it up :) And maybe 'promised' wasn't the best word to use, but the way the Bungie employee described the server browser-like feature and mentioned that it was "oft-requested" made it seem like the feature would definitely be implemented into the final game.
