Is online gaming dead?

Is online gaming dead? I can't find people in HALO REACH in containment mode to complete the achievements

[アウトコールド]

yes. it's fairly dead. It's mostly just a few people playing Halo 3 in social which is harder to find a match in these days. You might find games in other games but it's a lot harder. At this point, either find a customs community or do something other than matchmaking.

[le mec la bas]

Search for custom games, there's a lot of people playing, but yeah, the matchmaking is plain dead

[Malagon]

I only play the campaigns on legendary.

See you online boys, omni is here.

I try to play halo 3 multiplayer, which i really want to because I never could back when i played on xbox, but quite frankly the combination of me being terrible, using keyboard and mouse, versus guys who only use controllers and have been playing since day one makes it very hard to invest any time in to mp. I tried MP reach, same ♥♥♥♥, but now with that gross weapon bloom lol

MKB is way better than using a gamepad. In some ways they both have their ups and downs but imo MKB will always come out on top with enough practice. Just keep in mind that it may take years but will help you a lot in your life as you start playing all future FPS titles to MKB and it just becomes natural.

Also, one thing I noticed is that on gamepad the Halo 3 pistol is very hard to use since it relies heavily on auto aim to where it's considered almost useless. But on mouse it's a very powerful weapon.

I was able to find games today, Sunday morning New York time in 4v4 social. I tried 2v2 but no one was doing 2v2. Also, the players had a lot of EXP but were very bad at the game, which was interesting.

I have never waited more than a minute to find a game. Though Halo 2 multiplayer is definitely dead. I can never find a game in it.

Could be that they earned lots of xp from doing pve challenges.

The gamepad aim assist is pretty horrible to fight against. I also forgot to mention, but I am gimping myself by playing an elite in mp. It's just that I love Sanghelli, and I always wanted to be one back in the xbox 360 days but I couldn't because I didn't have xbox live. Closest thing was playing COOP as player two, playing the Arby

They can be very challenging in a 1v1 BR fight for sure and they are just a few meters in front of you because the really good gamepad players don't tend to miss much with the BR. Their reticle just sticks to your body no matter what you do. ARs can be very challenging too. At longer range though, gamepads will be at a much bigger disadvantage with those weapons.

So staying farther away increases chances of winning? Good to know, will keep in mind.

Wow miss the good old days when there were always people to find to play with.

Well, it always comes down to shoot them first and don't miss ofcourse. But I recommend engaging with gamepad players when you can comfortably hit them and they are unable to land all their shots as much as much as possible for an ideal scenario. I found on Halo 2 Midship with a mouse I can comfortably shoot across the entire map and hit most of my shots with a BR.
