Hi there, I recently bought Halo for the PC because i have no Xbox...Ive seen my friend with Halo2 on Xbox and it has loads of features for online play.For example..Clans,Auto Matching,Ranked games,Non ranked games,etc.

The reason im posting is because..I dont seem to see most of the features on Halo1 for the PC.

I would like to know, what features are actually provided by the online play.Like i said before..Does the PC version have Ranked and non ranked games? does it have anything that keeps how many games youve won on ranked games? You know stuff like that :)...

Could any1 give me information about halo1? if i didnt make much sense i will try to rewrite smaller and easier to understand..

Thanks for your time.

Nope, most of what you are talking about is all new for Halo2.

Halo1 is just pick a game and go. And try to stay below 100 ping.

Heyyo,

Like MadFF said, most of that ain't there. If you think aboot it, lots of Online games don't have built in clan support... The only other one I know is Quake3: Team Arena.

For stat recording? nope, not in Halo1. But there is a "Post Carnage Report" that tells you how well you did and the end of a round.

HaloPC is pretty much like most other games, those features are added in by 3rd party mods. Stat tracking for the HL1 engine? the HLStats, or Statsme mods. Most clans are 3rd party too. Look ingame for several people with matching parts of names.

If you think aboot it, Halo2 is the sequal to Halo1, so of course they're gonna try to improve it. From what I've seen though, yes, it does look more cartoonish than the 1st, but whatever, I still think it's cool. ;)

Thanks for the help guys..But i have one more question..People dont have Screen names on Halo1 right? they can just come in with any old name? Is there a way to find people or search to see what they are doing or where they are playing? Or all No again?:(

Well thanks again and Nice use of the word aboot :)
