: I don't recall them having dedicated servers then.

: If that is the case, then you're telling me Halo customs will play
: like......they always did?

That's the thing, they said the game would use dedicated servers, period. No one had reason to think it would be more limited, so we were expecting the games to play better than before. I know that was a big early selling point for me. It's especially bad for Halo 2 customs because that game had a ton of host-dependent bugs and exploits, and it's pretty bad for Halo 3 because it means BRs will be all over the place depending on who's host (and carbines and pistols presumably, and I've seen complaints about grifball being affected too). We're not exactly losing anything, but they waited until now-- when a lot of people have already bought a console just for this-- to tell us this thing they practically outright stated was there isn't there. (In fact, I could've sworn they specifically said everything would use dedicated servers at some point; does anyone else remember that?)
