I'm just curious... do you still play Halo CE? There are a few people who still do, myself included, but is this a lost cause in your opinion? Some of the best maps ever released for it are coming out now and there have been some really good additions in the past couple of months...

What would it take to get you interested again? I can't understand why more Halo PC players aren't coming across when you take the benefits into account, plus with no H2 on the PC (yet...), I would've thought there would be more interest...

Help me understand why this has happened and doesn't really seem to be improving in spite of the recent surge in new players for Halo PC... If you have any interest in Halo CE, give me your thoughts...

Something needs to be done...

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

I don't actually play CE anymore, but I'd love to do again. Biggest problem is that there is basically only a handful of people playing there hosting their own games. While this isn't bad by itself, the dedicated servers are mostly deserted, and lag is worse than Halo:PC (at least for me); I get average 60 to 70 pings on Halo:PC, while there is not a single server on H:CE with pings below 150 - when they're empty.

All could be solved easily if there where only more people at least trying out H:CE, instead of skicking to H:PC.

That's my point exactly... and the lag isn't such a problem if the server is using the Delagonator...

Well, how about some of us getting to gether and writing up some sort of 'Halo CE Guide'... and I'll tell you what, if these lot here won't put it up as a sticky when it's done, I will display it on my main welcome page...

I don't think this should go quietly... especially with the likes of THIS coming up in the future...

I know how hard it is to reach these people, and I know that some of my ideas have been done before... what I'm saying is maybe it's time to do them again!

I'm not quite ready to give up just yet...

Heyyo,

Yeah, not many people play HaloCE, so that's the main turn off. I once saw 60 severs, and only 28 players.... ya know something's wrong when there's more servers than players...

The reason people get booted from the server is cause they probably don't have that map installed, and since there's no option for offserver map downloading, many people find custom maps very tedious and annoying.

I used to until I installed my new video card and now it says there's something wrong with directx9.0 so I reinstalled Halo CE and directx9.0. I even ran dxdiag. The strange thing is that Halo PC runs at maximum settings without a problem.

i never would have known Halo CE existed were it not for the bungie forms and my desire to make maps.
