Why does nobody question the "fun" of 24/7 Halo 2 customs?

Last month I joined a revived clan for a 6 hour marathon on Lockout and honestly, half the lobby was just two guys spawn camping with sniper rifles. I called it out and got told to 'get good', but I left and started my own server with a 3 cap rule on kills. Has anyone else ditched the sweaty meta to just go back to silly rocket launcher only nights?

The Halo 2 lobby that turned toxic on us in 20 minutes flat

Last month our revived clan of 8 jumped into a custom match on Coagulation and one guy kept team-killing us with the banshee, so we banned him, but then he started posting our gamertags on some Discord and now we're getting spam invites, has anyone else dealt with a salty ex-player sabotaging a comeback crew?

Dropped $85 on a Halo 2 LAN adapter and it resurrected our whole clan

Last month I bought one of those old Xbox LAN adapters off eBay, the official one with the two ethernet ports, for $85. Our group of 6 kept getting booted from system link matches because of lag, so I figured it was worth a shot. Plugged it in, set up a 4v4 in a basement in Akron, and it ran like butter. No disconnects for 3 straight hours. Now we're talking about doing a monthly LAN instead of online only. Has anyone else found that spending on hardware is the only way to keep these old games alive, or do you just stick with what you got?

Clan rules that ban 'meta' loadouts killed our TF2 group in 3 weeks

Last month I joined a revived TF2 clan that prided itself on 'classic' play, so they banned anything considered meta, like the Cow Mangler or Direct Hit. Seemed fun at first, but by week two, half the team stopped showing up because matches were just slower and more frustrating. My buddy from Portland said it felt like we were fighting with nerf bats, and honestly he was right. We lost our core four players last week, and now the whole thing is dead. Has anyone else seen strict rule sets push people away faster than the game itself?
