dude brah bungie invented fps didn't you get the memo?

>>377130572

i was gona call you a retard, but i genuinely cant think of a game who did ranked matchmaking before h2.

anyone?

>>377132289
No, actually for once OP is not a faggot. Halo 2 really did do matchmaking first. This fucking shocked me as well

>>377134063
btfo did any other game after even implement this before Halo 3? I know WoW had arena, but that was only team queues

>>377130572
Yeah go ahead and try to patent react and see what happens

can you actually patent a concept within a videogame?


are there examples of this?

>>377135925
load screen minigames, patent law is retarded and should be defied

>>377130572
>tries to improve fps on consoles with matchmaking and more
>everyone else fucks it up over and over

>people still doubt the greatness of Halo

shame

>>377135925
Apple patented the IOS interface with the square apps. I believe they've successfully sued companies for copying the look too. Should be no reason why Bungie couldn't patent matchmaking

>tfw no one was smart enough to patent oxygen

lmao @ "humans"

>>377136063
Nobody really fucked it up, they just all decided that matchmaking is more important than a server browser.

>>377136290
You laugh but some corporations in the US tried to patent sequenzes of the human genom not too long ago

>>377136281
Because "matchmaking" is a general process, not a specific one.
You cant patent the process of players automatically connecting to each other, only your specific technique.
Thats like patenting booting up an .exe file.
