Ever since the latest update, us Mac users are screwed. The number of servers are shrinking daily. Tonight it's down to 100, and most of those don't work. I haven't seen the Bungie servers for weeks.

Any chance of getting an update soon?!? Please?!?!?

I have been in contact with Macsoft, and they are diligently working out the bugs in the update. Us Mac users shouldn't blame either Macsoft or Westlake for the delay. Blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of Bungie for releasing the PC update (updates for that matter) before the Mac update is ready. Especially since it sounded like the update fixes some lame server hack?? It has been, what, a month? I cannot play with my clan, and like you have an ever shrinking list of games to join. The ones you can join are really buggy and any quality playing is out of the question. Bungie should consider all of their customers before releasing an update that will effectively castrate a portion of the community. Not a friendly move from a company that started out producing Mac games, before Microsoft bought them.

Give us a break Bungie! Treat your Mac customers with a little respect please! I sent an email which has gone unanswered. How about a little service here? Consideration?

Heyyo,

I know dude, M$ -blam!- over what was once a good game company... best example? M$ now does all the tech support. That's the lamest thing ever... another company, NOT just any, but M$ with bad tech support on its own doing bungie's as well? you might as well kiss any of your wishes goodbye. Another good example? the new patch only solves security issues, it's a M$ thing, they're paranoid, so they don't care for any bigtime fixes that the game desperately needs:

- Better weapon balance (lower damage and/or rate of fire of fuelrod)
- Make banshee's plasma shots less accurate, increase accuracy on ghost (poor ghost, limited to land, and worse aim than a banshee...)
- Fix wallhacking errors at danger canyon (they can increase the size of rocks on death isl when there wasn't any probs with those rocks... but they can't fix a worse prob? jesus, M$ writter all over these lame changes, lol)

Dude, I'm starting to not care if I get banned from these forums. My haloPC copy on my comp stopped working good, so I tried to reinstall, but now? the CD won't run the setup.exe!!!! Halo's starting to piss me off really badly these days, I can't even play the -blam!- game.....

Ya know what small time game company that uses a bigger game company to distribute games with is doing a better job than Bungie? Digital Illusions. Who here has BF Vietnam? they created a WWII mod for it, so if you don't have BF1942, you get it on BF Vietnam for FREE (of course you need to have bought BFV) AND with better graphics. ;)

Bungie, you're a good gaming comp, but you're slipping, remember how you guys were in the old days, you cared more aboot quality of the game than the graphics n' stuff... Marathon ruled, Halo? hmm, I'm starting to doupt how good it is.....
