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.

Use H2's online netcode and Halo's multiplayer together, port t to the xbox 360, then put up the MP demo.

This isn't an Xbox /360 forum.

I seem to be having a problem with this--I can't find the directories. It doesn't auto-install either...

Does this mean that people can now join servers that they couldn't before, or able to host them?

Here's an interesting stat: There have been 96152 unique Halo PC users in online multiplayer in the past 30 days! (That's the number of unique, legit "yellow sticker" CD keys seen online). This game certainly lives on.
Just for a point of reference the Halo Custom Edition Game has been downloaded from the Halo maps website over 253,484 times since we started tracking it in Jan 2005. (we use FTP so we can track a completed download) There have been 71,610 downloads of the game this year alone. I have no way of telling how much that has impacted the longevity of the Halo PC game but it has been surprising nonetheless

H1 and Halo Custom edition name: madkiller92
xfire:madkiller92

Is this going to go up to auto-update anytime soon?
And Dennis, I didn't know you had a b.net account.

Thanks to Sawnose for the patch. I dunno if its me or something slipped into the code but I've honestly never seen the shottie look like this while I was playing.

Also for those playing Halo 2 with some "minor mouse twitching." Try putting -novsync in the command line parameters in the shortcut. I had the same problem with a Nvidia 9600 and that helped me ;)

I don't remember what the original shotty looks like but the only way to change the way it looks is to change the skin located in the bitmaps.map file. Changing the halo.exe or stings.dll doesn't affect the weapons (at least not in a weapon desgin aspect).

Just a small suggestion for the final update release if theres still time since this seems to be a security patch.

Recently some people around the halo boards have been getting paranoid over a "rcon hack" some guy posted on youtube. I think to put their mind at ease, having a 3 unsuccessful attempt limit on rcon like most network secure logins have adopted might put their mind at ease. I figure something similar to kicking the user after 3 rcon attempts would interfere with any amateur programmers trying to crack someones rcon pass in a brute force algorithmic attempt.

No, that's a normal shotgun. ;)

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

It's funny. Back in the 2004-2006 era when Halo PC was full steam ahead we had major problems on un hosted dedicated servers with the direct IP trick tkers were using to quickly reset their tk limit and rejoin a server faster than 3 seconds.

A very simply way to fix this would have been for them to tweak the code so that the direct IP address would reset/erase upon exiting a game. Very simply to do I'm sure.

Could anyone be bothered? Nah....

That rcon hack you talk about has been brought up before but nobody has ever shown evidence here that it even exists.

Either way, the many ships known as Halo PC issues have sailed long ago.

Thanks for the Patch.

It's a shame to hear that the Halo bot will stay around.
What I do like is the hint you gave us about the game is in your hands now and also the hint about the banlist.

Thanks to your statement I have an idea of getting rid of them, THANK YOU!

You might be using this all along, but just incase you didn't.
For insight to "all known" glitches just search Youtube hope to see them all fixed ;)

PS. DON'T YOU DARE TO TOUCH THE HALO's NET CODE !! Leave it like it is :)

The "quick join" that you are referring to does not involve using the direct ip feature that is available when you select "muliplayer" in halo. Instead it involves using the rcon console command "connect". Say if the server ip that you want to connect to is 1.2.3.4:2302 with a pass = b45 , then you would put: " connect 1.2.3.4:2302 b45 " (minus the quotes) into the console. If there is no password, simply put "" as the password.
While some ppl do abuse this feature in pubs where tk is on, it is a very useful feature (especially for scrims/ hpts) that shouldn't be removed.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

i tried using the halopc.exe but it said some dlls were missing but the dedicated server one worked, weird, this bug is affecting me too
EDIT:Nvmd figured it out

forgive me guys if i am asking a obvious question, but its been a while since I played halo PC and moved on to newer games. i used to enjoy the online game and met some nice people in the clans XF clan espcially, but it became obvious after a while that most of the people playing the game or at least the game i were in were using enhancements of some kind to win continously. it became very annoying to the point Halo I put the CD away one evening and vowed not to return to the halo servers.

my question is has Bungie finally resolved the hacking/aimbot problem with a fix/update? if so maybe I'll see some of you in the servers again. be gentle with me LOL

Thanks

Many people are actually in fact, that good. Better to just play with friends and others you find around your own skill level.
