I'll just say this; I hate the matchmaking system in Halo as bad as I hate the system in Gears 2. I WANT PLAYER MATCHES WHERE YOU CAN CHOOSE THE GAME. They got it perfectly for Halo CE on the computer and Gears 1.

Sorry, but hell no.  The Party system and matchmaking are the best thing to happen to online gaming.  Microsoft liked Halo 2's system so much they made it a large chunk of the backbone of Live.  I enjoy the idea of a match.  Team vs team.  Dedicated servers are disorganized and less competitive.  In my opinion at least.

I think they need both, though.  Player matches you can browse/create and play in that are "unranked" and ranked matches that you get matched with with no choosing.

I used to enjoy Rainbow Six being that way because I could guarantee I was host and everyone would have a great connection to me.
