Halo Reach Custom game matchmaking idea
We could just have multiple accounts that are dedicated to connecting people who want to play custom games.
I made a few accounts for that purpose:
HRCA001 - 98/100
HRCA002 - 94/100
HRCA003 - 5/100
HRCA004 - 4/100
HRCA005 - 6/100
rules are simple.
- I'll fill the friends list on each account.
>Each person is the friend of [b] one [/b] of the accounts
- When you send a party chat to an account you aren't a friend of, you browse their friends list for any custom games, then cancel the party chat invite when you're done
Basically this allows us to just browse friends lists for any custom games going on. If you don't want anyone to join, close the party or set to invite only. I'll do my best to list how many people are on the friends lists on these accounts to see how full it is.
If anyone wants to make their version of these accounts just list them here.
BTW HRCA stands for Halo Reach Custom Account. I abbreviated them so it would be easy to type in multiple gamertags as people type in their name.
Any questions?

the video is old now. there is no longer a limit for the HRCA friends and you should send a party chat invite to browse another account's friends list.
Gigantic update/ General info:
The different part about this idea is to have each person only on one account's list so that the same person will not be on more than one account. That way your friends list isn't crowded and the HRCA lists don't waste any space.
If you are going to make new accounts, just list the exact gamertag here and how full each one is.
I would make more myself, but it would be hard to manage a lot of them.

Just set the party to invite only if you dont want anyone to join until you are ready for them. Otherwise honor-based games would not work if someone doesn't get the rules first, yeah.
This could also work to try to get people to test your latest forge map.
fyi everybody, I am not adding people on the account myself, otherwise It would take a very long time.

[quote] Is anybody on HRC001 actually playing a real custom? Everybody i joined is testing maps that don't work. Also, you should change the title of this to attract people. Something like Custom Game Friends list accounts or something. The title makes it look like some bungie forum kids abstract speculation. [/quote] theres bound to be people testing new maps/ not playing regular custom games this early into the game's release. In time there will probably be more variety in custom games. I for one have not really done any custom games much since I am trying to rank up for armor stuff. In the coming months/years of the game HRCA would probably be used more once people have the gear they want. I am not sure what the best title would be. I tried to make it sound like I have an idea on how to fix the no custom matchmaking problem (which is what this is). If anyone has any ideas of what to name the post, suggestions are welcome. The present situation with the accounts are pretty good. I took advantage of the free gold weekend and played a few custom games on the HRCA001 account. When I was accepting requests for the HRCA002 account I accidentally deleted one I shouldn't have, so whoever that was can just send it again and I'll accept it. My bad. The HRCA001 account is officially full, but unofficially currently not full. I had not anticipated people removing themselves from the list. Its understandable, but I will just have to send a request myself to someone who sent their own request to a different account. It sounds confusing, but just know that if you see that HRCA001 has a bit of slots open don't worry about it. Although it doesn't really keep this post alive per se, it would be appreciated if you tell your friends online about HRCA so that they can be a part of it if they want to. I know that not everyone goes on this site much, let alone happens to see this posting.
