I have been waiting for some relevant update to come out for halo pc. There has basically been only glitch fixes and a few small things. There has been nothing new and exciting so to speak. Even the FAQ about the game is out of date. FAQ means, "frequently asked questions." Well, most of the stuff on the FAQ aren't being asked frequently anymore. Furthermore its impossible to find out any news on this stuff. Even this website's "Top stories and news" for Halo PC is EMPTY. You cant get anything out of gearbox or microsoft, and if you do it's something like, "We have the update done but it is being tested by so and so." That was about a month ago.... Could someone from bungie plz go ask whats goin on for us?

It's in testing.

When there is something to be updated about, rest assured that Bungie will update us.

The point is that there hasnt been an update anywhere near what we have been promised. I mean come on, Gearbox said we would have editing kit soon after the game came out. news flash, Its soon after. No, we are to "later" now.

Hey, I understand you've been waiting for some updayes, i have too, but right now I think Bungie is putting just about everything they got into Halo 2 which, personally, I think is more important. But that is just my opinion. DOn't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to when the new updates come out too. But I don't want any time sacrificed from H2

true, but isnt it like gearbox's responobilaty to do these updates?
personaly i didn't have much opinion either way on gearbox but it i do have one and it is of unsatisfied nature... i mean isn't it their jobs to do stuff for us (the consumer) and they dont seem to be doing jack all to me

Anything Gearbox does for HaloPC has to pass through Microsoft and Bungie before it can be published. This is Microsoft policy, and it makes a lot of sense.

I wouldn't mind some info myself, We just bought the pc version, we don't have an xbox, so this is it. I've tried to find info, patchs,upgrades, cheats,anything and there is nothing, And really not to crunch on everyones love of halo but Im not all that impressed. We got it to play at home with family and friends not online where you get fragged everytime you spawn or just plain kicked out because they were running some "special" rules. There really need to be bots, And reloading sucks. I want to know why they cant fix it, if they have, but there is absolutly no info to be found. When you look something up they refer you to a page that doesn't exist anymore. I know if this is how they drop you for halo, I have a really hard time thinking halo 2 is going to be any better.

whether Halo 2 is being worked on or not, they could at least check in on it for us. I have gotten really annoyed with Halo PC and havent played it in forever. Alot people I know got the game in expectance of the editing kit. We dont even play Halo PC with each other now. If we do play halo it's on XBOX.

Why again does it make sense for the patches to go through MS/Bungie? Help me understand this logic because the system aint working. Gearbox knows the code better than anyone and its just like having two middlemen to hold things up (which they appear to excel at). If I were Gearbox, I would have told them to piss off. If they want this kinda control, then they should've ported the game themselves!

They supposedly do it so people dont get mad at them for licensing faulty products... Not really working cause peeps are mad at them now anyway.

You can't tell your publisher to piss off when they've given you permission to make one of their games. =)

Anyhow, Microsoft ensures that any software released under their name will not do any damage to the systems it is being used on. This is because a lot of people would be more than happy to sue Microsoft given the chance, and faulty software could be a liability.

I think Bungie is putting just about everything they got into Halo 2 which, personally, I think is more important

But what good is it gonna do to get Halo 2 out the door if Bungie burns all it's bridges with the Halo community by not supporting it's current products?

The Halo community was promised an editor (Sapien) as soon as Halo PC was released...how many months ago was that? Halo PC has suffered from poor netcode since its release. If you don't believe me, play the XBOX version, then play the PC version, the differences will amaze you. And what's up with the patches that have been released? 1.03 seemed to fix a little bit of the netcode problems, but 1.04 seemed to bring the problems back.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big fan of Halo PC, currently it's the game I play most often, I just wish Bungie or Micro$oft or GearBox or whoever would fix the afore mentioned problems, or at least release Sapien so the Halo community can try to work-around some of the problems on our own.

Just my 2 cents.

amen muaddib. My friends dont wan tto but halo pc cause of the problems people have been having. Maybe MS and Gearbox can fix these problems cause I want my experience to be the best possible. I hate getting killed cause of lag and other glitches. I understand they are juggling projects but, come on, i would like for them to give some more effort into halo pc
