In Response To: Re: Bungie's quote on a Public Server Browser in H (Achronos) : That's becaue standard server browsers don't work, and you aren't very : observant if you think that they have been working. Step back and think : about it. How many times have you looked a server list in a game, and : couldn't find a fast server, with open slots, that let you play a game you : want? How many times have you hit "join" and then been told that : the server was full? How about if the host quits - who do you migrate to? : What if doesn't want to play that game? What if the host is losing, and : boots you to make things easier? And how many times have you gone into a : game, thinking it was one type or map config, and then found out that it : had been altered in an unpleasant way? : To put it in perspective of Halo - how many times has some jackass come into : your forge session you forgot to close and screwed up hours of your work? : Now, before you say, "But, Achronos, my friends won't do that to : me" remember that I'm talking about a server browser used for general : users to join. You already essentially have one for your friends list... : and their friends list too, using the friends of friends feature. Adding : in anonymous custom game searching makes the above common place, where : right now it is just your friends messing with you. : Server browsers are not the solution. Matchmaking playlists are really the : best compromise for anonymous game gathering. Maybe for future games we : make we'll try something different or alter our approach. But for now, : this is the best we have in terms of game matching. I've actually always agreed with this philosophy. I wouldn't want to play some random guy's custom games. I want to play customs with friends (which shouldn't be hard to do if you're a nice guy) or I want the "my friends and I against the world" that matchmaking offers. Sure, I suppose it's a personal opinion, but I think the server system is outdated and way too easy to exploit.
