I felt compelled to post to Bungie. As a software tester by trade, I can only say...rubbish. Meally mouthed crap from Bungie. Having installed the above patch to the correct directory (I can follow instructions) I now find that Halo will no longer open. It has totally trashed my installation. The large number of posts clearly identifies a poorly tested patch. I note that player numbers are well down on the servers...no suprise if most people like myself can no longer open Halo. I love the game, but can I be bothered to reinstall and patch again? You have lost a regular user Bungie. Sort your act out, act like a professional outfit, test your patch properly and reissue a new one!

Heyyo,

Letme be the 1st to say: CAREFUL! I reinstalled, now my comp won't even start up the "setup.exe" on the cd!!!!! :o

first try popping in your cd, if it won't autostart the setup.exe, try yourself. If that fails? don't even bother to uninstall or you'll be just as screwed as I am....

No doubt thier is some glitch, I'm a Lan Admin for Verizon so I also can follow directions. I have 5 desktops and a laptop on my LAN now I only game on 3, BUT on the main machine I had no probs, on the machine my kid uses I have reinstalled a minimun of 10 times. I have tried to update from a clean install, tried to update from patch 1,3,4,5 to no avail. I have loaded the updater in and ran that, it says my game is up to date. As soon as I manually install 1.6 the machine won't connect with the Game spy servers. Anybody got any ideas. How about you Mr. Saw nose guy

They can't test it out, or get their acts together. They're being pulled by Microsoft's string for a puppet show. They completed Halo 2 and probably working on Halo 2 or something now not to mention they abandon the PC community after getting bought by Microsoft. And I think thats the end of Gearbox's involvement with the game especially when they said "we must get Microsoft to approve the patches before releasing it". Usually its the game developer's responibility to release it when there is a glitch.

Heyyo,

Yeah, in brief, we've been pwned up the buttox very badly by M$ and the other 2 companies. Oh let's face it, we can't just blame M$, sure, they're the root of all evil nowadays, but hey, bungie never told us what's going on, neither did gearbox, no confirmations, no condolences, no nothing.

They have our money... Why should they care? Let's face it, even these forums aren't moderated properly...

Heyyo,

Yep, look at EA, massive amounts of revenue on their Command & Conquer Generals & the Zero Hour expansion. Most people say that's the best RTS out there today, and EA? they stopped supporting it, and what's worse? they told NO ONE, an insider found out and told the community... how lame is that eh?

No news of anymore updating, or anything... guys, I'm starting to presume the end of our highly-needed patches......

well lets look at it the real way

1.05 had a bad auto updater in it.

so they had to fix that problem.

i had no problem with it, you jut drop the new autoupdater in the install folder, then run patch? how hard can that be?

anyway, 1.06 wasnt messed up, 1.05 was, and as a result, a lot of people who werent able to install 1.06 right got pissed.
