Custom games browser for Halo 4

This is my first topic in these forums so please bear with me.

Ok, so it may be talked already about this or not, but as I was seeing in a topic about the infection gametype for me at least it is indeed a custom game contender instead of a matchmaking contender. All of you seek on a custom game is to have fun or maybe sometimes some interesting competitive play. For infection this is not the case. Yeah, yeah call me an infection fanboy if you want to but if you were present in the good 'ol halo 3 days when infection was the funnest and probably the most played game-type in custom games you would know what I’m talking about.

Now as far as I remember since Reach was a more matchmaking driven game most people stopped playing custom games(don’t get me wrong some did but it was just a few amount) and just played it on the living dead playlist which lead to the default maps with infection which it was a little disappointing because many maps on halo 3 were made to be for infection, some did well, some were kinda stupid sometimes. You would realize that one of the reasons halo reach failed on custom games was because it was not a social experience compared to halo 3 due to the party system not being present were you could go in social slayer and get some buddies to play some custom games.

Well I’m getting far from what I really wanted to talk about which is a custom game browser were you can search for a custom game, hop in it, try it out and maybe have fun. This would really raise the replay-ability on Halo 4 were we could have: Campaign, Spartan Ops, Matchmaking, FORGE, and now a dedicated custom game browser that if you feel too alone when your friends are not online you can get in there and make some more friends.

So please lets make this happen as this may not be so hard for 343 to make and nobody gets harmed in the process.
Tell me what you think about this.
Thanks.

I would hate a search for this

A custom game browser would be great. Why would you hate this? You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.

This community baffles me.

At first I wanted a little browser type search, but until I realized that would mean that I would be playing with complete strangers who could be complete idiots. Plus it would take up some more valuable resources. I’d rather just play Custom Games with my friends then strangers.

By that logic we might as well drop matchmaking from the game as well, considering they’re the same exact thing except for custom games having more options.

This would be the best idea ever!! I would NEVER stop playing Halo 4!! :smiley:

Yeah I hope Halo 4 lives up to the hype too :slight_smile:

This is definitely my biggest wish for halo to include. To do it right it would be a little complicated, but definitely worth it. Unfortunately I doubt it’s already in halo 4, and I think it’s too late in development to add it in. I think it’s something I’m gonna have to hope they include in halo 5.
