hi i installed the newest halo patch + ce version but I'm still finding only a few servers (filter out).
after joining Gamespy i saw there 100 of servers but i'm not able to join because my version is older then the server ? what the heck why i've got the newest patch.

make sure that you got the newest halo PC patch. best and quickiest way to do this is to goto your Halo directory.
-my computer
-C drive
-program files
-microsoft games
-Halo
now in that folder, theres a program called Haloupdate.exe. run that program and see if it solves it.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

If your game is all up to date, only one thing comes to my mind. Gamespy Arcade doesn't support Halo CE... If you join a HCE server with HPC, you will get the older/newer error message, and vice-versa HPC to HCE. I know that error message doesn't make sense, but that's what it says. I can't think of any other reason for that error.

If you are using the Halo no cd patch, then it will only give you a few servers. Make sure you are using the halo cd.

Are you talking about on Halo Custom Edition having very little players? This is very normal in Custom Edition.
