As a Clan Leader of a 54 member Halo PC Heavy Weapons Clan, The Tenth Legion Halo Heavy Weapons Clan, I must say that I am disappointed with the 1.06 Hotfix. It has totally fragmented the Halo PC community, and is destroying the fun that we usually have here. Our clan members and our 8 Dedicated servers all updated on day one of this update, as we always do. On the first days, there were not more than 300 people on the entire Halo PC Lobbey for 1.06. Now over a week later, I have never seen more than 1000 people on at once, and I play alot, daily. There use to be over 4000 players in the lobbey or more at most given times before this update. Our servers have been mostly empty, and we were forced to temporarily take down several of our servers due to inactivity, and as not to fragment our remaining visitors.
The fact that you released this update, and did not make an update for the Mac users seems careless, and has upset our Mac Clan members that have not been able to play with their team mates anymore since the update. With so many posts, why has no one addressed this issue?
THIS UPDATE IS DESTROYING THE HALO PC COMMUNITY. With so many strong game titles being released recently, including Halo 2, you need to address these problems so that our community can remain strong and not dwindle at this critical time. If you can correct this problem, I have no doubts our Halo PC community will remain stong and loyal to this game, as Halo PC is THE BEST MULTIPLAYER PC GAME.
As a programmer myself, www.mn8.net, I SUGGEST you do this. Create an autoupdating 1.07 fix that will autoupdate all 1.06 users, and all previous versions, as well as all Mac users. This is a simple solution to fixing a blunderous problem that is extremely hurting the community you have created and fostered. This way we can all be one happy family again, instead of having a practically empty lobbey for all of us that supported your update.
If this problem is not fixed very soon, I will be forced by overwhelming pressure from our members to downgrade all our servers (which we have been resisting) and announce our decisions and reasoning on our forum, which have had over 10,000 unique IP visitors in the last 3 months. Our members have been disappointed by seeing less than 25% of the normal players and servers, and not being able to play with our Mac based members, and not being able to see and play on all those servers of friends and clans that have not upgraded. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE MORE HARM TO OUR COMMUNITY IS DONE.
I do ask this Respectfully, but intently, as I believe Halo PC is the best PC game ever created, and my clanmates and I enjoy it immensely.
Please Help Us and someone please reply to all these concerned posts, and give us an update......please!
With Gratitude and Unwavering Support,
