That's right, one more patch and Bungie can discontinue this game all together.
I think some of you know what I want, what I want is a fixed netcode.
Now I know, I know, a lot of you have gotten used to leading and all and are probably good at it. Some of you will say that leading takes skill, but I don't think so.
Leading is a guessing game. Especially for those of us who don't continually have the same ping. My ping goes from 33 to 67 often and back. This means that I have to continually adjust my lead. This hurts me often, as what I thought was correct, is no longer correct, and 3/4 of the time I am dead before I finally get the correct lead. This cycle happens time and time again.
Now I'm no slouch at the game, but I'm not as good as some other players, pulling off 3sk's and such. I'm a veteran that relies on knowledge of the weapons, maps, and vehicles at hand.
I've also been playing other FPS games too. Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, I've played a lot of them, and in none of them did I have to lead. Getting kills was easier, and of course, getting killed was easier. But I had no problem with that. You play these games longer and you get better at them. Halo is not really one of those games.
Besides, the reason why the lead is there is because Gearbox was instructed to include 56K support, but considering the number of Halo players on Dial-up, that netcode is no longer needed. I don't think the whole netcode needs to be re-written, but it certainly needs to be fixed or edited. Bungie/Microsoft will probably never release the source, so it's at their discretion that a patch gets made.
A lot of you will dismiss me as being whiny about the netcode, but I assure you, Halo will be 10x better if it's fixed. The bot makers will have to update their bots of course, but they may not need it, the whole reason for the bot is because aiming is too hard for noobs. We've seen that Halo still has a large fanbase and it will continue to grow as long as this game stays on shelves, so Bungie, how about giving us a final edit so we can wrap this game up, eh?
Also speaking of bots, what is this clickbot I've been hearing about lately? The only ones I know of are Bitterbanana's and the OCG color bot (which is stupid).
7711 characters remaining lolI'd like to see that happen, but it probably won't unless someone does in-fact feel that Halo's net-code might need tweaking. For the click-bot, it automatically shoots your weapon when your reticule turns red.
