Mods on power trips crack me up.

Why cant bungie admit they got Halo PC very badly wrong and left it to rot?

The Xbox 360. The customers are the beta testers.

I'm definitely up for it. You can count me in. (and yes, I am from the UK)

This sounds like a really good idea and if I could spend anymore money than I already do on 'internet stuff', I'd be in. As things currently stand though, I'm not in the position to join you I'm afraid...

Saying that though, I am in the position to offer you a free subdomain with free hosting for a 'Members' site/page/forum.

I don't expect you to make me a participant of your server as a reward or as payment, and this offer is effectively offered to you with no strings attached. I work hard for the Halo CE community already, but I don't have any objection to 'doing my bit' for the Halo PC community aswell...

I am also in the UK, and so is my hosting co.

Are you talking about 2mb up or down? If that's still only 256 up, you can probably only expect to get an 8 player server to run effectively...

Could you not also borrow one of the computers at work? That would seem like the most sensible option.

At the end of the day, the line is more important when it comes to running a ded. You don't have to have anything spectacular in the machine department. Even one of the later Pentium 3's will do the job... and I bet the machines you have at work are a better spec than that!

Well, how much are you prepared to pay? At the end of the day though, the more people that are involved, the more likely it is that something will go wrong...

Just so you know, I'm still interested. After all it was my idea. Sorry I haven't replied much to this. I'll try and be around more, and I'm willing to pay whatever it takes to get this idea up and running, so long as it's not something stupid like 500 quid, which it won't be.

I encountered Punj the other night. Once again, he ruined the game so I'm all up for a decent, controlled server.

Hi,
I actually rent a server since July 2004. with my team.( the [boo] )
A french Team of 10 members from 20 to 35 years old !!
It really the best way to enjoy playing. You can do want you want, and you can take off the game all those little kids who like team killing or stupid things like that
Our IP is 82.192.80.132:2460 X3M[boo] server
We are payins 56€ each month, so aproximatively 7€/persons (the poors of our team don't pay.. :) )

If you want to know something about it contact me smokeyoliv@wanadoo.fr

Sry for my tardy arrival, nice to see a new idea being introduced. Even if PYW didn't exsist, the concept of a UK server with admin access and pings of about 60 would be awesome. I'm unemployed at the moment unfortunately, so I can't really help you out, much as I'd like to. As soon as I get a job I can contribute. Good luck, I mean that. I hope this works out for you guys.

And yeah and, Bungie? See what you've driven us to because of your complete lack of reaction to the TKing issue? Chances are you won't see this either since you evidently don't even read your own forums. Bad form.
