That is amazing!

But regarding that statistic- 100,000 separate individual disks playing Halo 1 at the same time, that is a remarkably high number. Because Halo CE still houses a considerable chunk of dedicated Halo players, why does it recieve so little attention? Halo 3 is big right now, however I believe more could be done to Halo CE to make a better community.

They would rather make Halo 3pc than update Halo pc

Very nice. This inspired me to break out my Halo PC disk and reinstall the game. TONS of dedicated servers up still! I'd be great if someone (maybe even a Bungie dude) started "porting" some H2 and H3 maps to HCE...

Is there or is it necessary to be an update for the Mac version?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Ugh, that never even occurred to me. It probably does need updating.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

It really isn't that hard to lead. As long as you have a stable ping, it should be pretty easy.


My ping always flucutates, I never know how much to lead.

It's more luck than anything, and I'm ending it at that.

we do want to help out the fans who have kept the game alive for this long.
FAIL.

If you wanted to keep Halo -in general- for the PC alive, then you would have made Halo 2 Vista available to a non-Vista PC such as my own.

Have you thought this through at all? If there's no skill involved, what about people who consistently outshoot others? Are their pockets full of rabbits' feet? Do you really think they somehow didn't earn that?

Lead doesn't involve voodoo or sorcery. It just means that an enemy is a little bit ahead of where he appears to be. You have to gauge that distance and aim there without the crutch of a masterchief model or a red reticule. That does take skill, and it does separate the men from the boys. Play some 1v1s against skilled people if you still don't believe me.

But not Elmy; all of his shots are luck. :P

Like you're saying, you can learn it and adapt to it. But I hesitate to call it a skill. There's multiple reasons:
First, the aiming off isn't what bothers me. You DID have to lead in Halo xbox... and it was static. You could guage your velocity and your target's velocity, along with your angle of fire, and could systematically always hit your target.
But here we have a system that doesn't allow you to CONSISTENTLY aim correctly. Between ordinary network variables and the utter pile that is Halo PC's netcode, lies chaos.
I'm no slouch at Halo PC, and I haven't played in a very long time. Quite the opposite, in fact - I was damn good at the game. In fact, I've only lost in one 1v1 match (out of hundreds) since the game came out. The clan I spoke of earlier had a lot of arrogant little kids that played, so I had a healthy crop to shoot at regularly. The guy who beat me plays for madcast now, along with a lot of the kids I beat (although to be honest, they could probably steamroll me now)
I grew to adapt a little with the netcode. But I simply won't believe you if you don't feel that lag never ruined what should have been an excellent shot, time after time after time.

Nearly all the maps have already been ported - by people with a better work ethic and more love for the Halo PC community. Go to www.halomaps.org

I will hesitate to pull out my anti mac speech, except to say that if you actually purchased a macbook air, then I hope they never patch the mac version. In fact, if ANYONE plays Halo Mac on an Air, I hope they dont' patch it. That little laptop is the apex of apple's sucker program. For instance:

Posted by: Anandtech
Despite the $500 price drop, the 64GB SSD still represents a $599 option and one that many potential customers may have trouble swallowing. This becomes even more apparent given the recent announcement from OCZ concerning low-cost, high-performance SSDs.

OCZ's new 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB SATA-II SSDs ring in at $169, $259, and $479 respectively and will be available shortly. The 64GB and 128GB models will be out on July 11, while the 32GB models will saunter in during the third week of July.


Have fun paying for your shiny laptop. I hope you buy something that you have to install with an optical disk.

THIS IS AMAZING SOMEONE FORM BUNGIE PAID ATTENTION 2 A PROBLEM AND GET THIS.........FIXED IT!!!!! Thans so much man. I know you probably won't consider this or read this but if there was 96K Players on Halo PC within the last 30 days imagine xbox live!!! I know damn well I'll purchase it again. Just see ow many people agree. A good Idea is to make a multiplayer-only demo of a Halo: CE port in the xbox live marketplace and see how many players you get within 30 days. I know the engine you guys use and its almost exact as H2Vs. Use H2's online netcode and Halo's multiplayer together, port t to the xbox 360, then put up the MP demo. I guarentee you will be completely surprised. I hope soooooooo much you see this. Other posters please quote me on this so it's more noticeable if you agree!!!!!

was this is the bug/hack that some people would use to crash the server when they got angry at you, before you could ban them (good ol sv_ban), because that is a fairly big problem that me and friend encounter when we'd host for »HM«. It would crash and say something witht he word packet in it i believe

Off that disc you have lying around, or off a Gamestop shelf.

Does anyone have a solution for a lost disc, but a working and valid and legal CD key?

find a friend with a disc, or a .zip of his game folder, then change the key once you put it on your machine so it doesn't mess his up.

Well This is working great as to my dedi has not crashed once. Also another note is that most current apps utilities and hacks do not work with this new version. Aimbot finally eliminated...

Also why is it build 615 what happened to build 614??

It isn't eliminated. Aimbots will just be updated to work with the new version.

I have a really, really stupid question here. To properly apply the new update I just download the .zip file and extract it to my MicrosoftGames/Halo folder?

What is the correct way? I'm sort of new to this.
