I can answer that question for you because I just had an "encounter" with him not so long ago. He's off and on those servers as soon as they go down and come back again. If people are actually getting through to Bungie now then maybe this is the time to approach them about Punj.

Hi guys,
Here is the correspondance I had with Microsoft:

From: Doug Boyce [mailto:dougboy@microsoft.com]

They are my servers and we have been too busy to pay much attention to these.

Hello Doug,

I checked last night and the European server were unavailable, I could not get a response from the American servers but that is often the case.

Who is it who runs and maintains the servers ? and why are there so many problems with the servers.

It is very annoying not to have the servers, Halo is a great multiplayer game on the PC and fans would love Halo 2 on the PC as well but the Bungie servers as unreliable as they are have the best games running and the best performance.

Please let me know what you can find out Doug.

Thanks Viper.

OK, I gave them a kick. Unfortunately, I cannot check them at the moment, so please let me know if they are up. Maybe you could check the US ones for me also.

Hello,



I am looking for the status of the Bungie EU Halo PC servers, I have noticed they have not been available recently, could you supply the following:



* Current status of Bungie servers
* Who to contact if there is a problem
* The future status of the servers - how long will they be running

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I had a feeling there would be a response like that from Doug. And as for the Bungie servers now, well....does anyone remember the days when both Bungie CTF and EU Bungie CTF servers were almost full whenever you went for a game? I think those days are long gone now for the following reasons:

1.) Rampant tking on the servers has destroyed the prospect of any decent players using their time on those servers.
2.) The pure unreliability of these servers now is enough to put any decent player off.
3.) Like Mr B said, constant bickering ruins the overall feel of the game.

I went on the only EU CTF server that had players on the other night. Your own team rarely helps you out, they STAND STILL and then approach you for a tk when you so much as look at them. If you make a mistake due to your idiotic team they then have a go at you and either tk themselves into a ban, or the slightly smarter ones try to get you to tk them.
And so many players are doing a Punj now that it's barely worth going on. I used to love the days when the 2MA clan were on frequently. I had good games with them. Now, I think they've finally learned that there are better places for a game of Halo.
