what do u want halo 2's online lobby features to have?
i was thinking a little UC and GR mix.
UC for the searching for games style, with rankings, and GR for time limit and waiting to join style.
they should also have of xservers hosting most of the games bc alot of ppl will be playing taht game for sure.
thats all i could think of for now. i'll post some more up when i think of some more.

HALO2 should have 0% lag, they have to make this the best game ever and not get ruined by lag. so t3 connections or whatever is better has to be to it with dedicated servers. Other than that i dont want the white botton thingy to it. and the lobby to be like gr and finding games like mech or uc or nfl2k3

That would be crazy if we could have lag-free 32 person matches. I think they shouldn't make us hit the white button to talk, instead make it the black button, that would be WAY better.
Just kidding.
I think it would be nice to have dedicated servers. Imagine if it came with all the old maps as well. I can dream it now.

Id like a lobby to find games, with voice etc.
And support for more than 1 team would be nice too...

Pressing a button to talk saves badwidth. You dont have those sloppy *******s breathing hard into the mic eating up bandwidth.
And i think people should be able to join games in progress. It would be cool to here cortana say "reinforcements have arrived" and the people waiting in the lobby parachute in or come in on a pelican, guns blazing!
Theres so much potentiel for this game. Its scary....

Yeah Lag free, plus GR style pregame areas, but with MOTOGP style of clarity and looks, GR was too dull. Also 16 Player coop would be fun. With just hoardes of Covenant.

Well PC games have 32 to 64 players on some servers. And people are constantly coming in and out in and out.
Does that cause lag? No

o well, i didnt know aobut that white button that saves bandwidth part. so, i think it would be aight to have that in halo.
would u like halo to have the map that shows up when u press the left trigger, like the one in GR? i was thinkin it would be cool, but i think it would ruin the fun. wacha think?

Alls I know is this game is going to be sweet and I can't wait. If they keep the old levels + new ones that would be AWESOME (re-texturized of course, but I wouldn't mind if they didn't because Halo 1 still has awesome graphics) Also I would like to see bots included for the multiplayer, so if say we could find only 8 people to join we could have like 4 bots, etc, etc.

A new type of Multiplayer mode would rock, I'm thinkin of a Swarm-like game. You and your friends have to fight off waves and waves of AI controlled Covenant/Flood/Spartans/anything else that game has up it's sleeve. Chances are, the co-op play will make that useless, unless they don't exceed the 2players only for co-op... More CO-OP MODES!!!:eek:
