And after about a year, the special playlists had hardly anyone in them. Matchmaking SUCKED. The only playlist that routinely had enough players to get good matches in was Social. I played it till the servers were shut down. it was good but looking back, hated when host left, lag switching was real (and easy since all you needed was a laptop to figure out how to steal host) and a plethora of other things. What kept me playing Halo 3 over the years was going in with a team of 5-6 and betraying each other. The MP had gone to trash after a year.
