Heyyo,

I'm gonna try sending the product feedback once a day, until changes are made. I'm including my e-mail each time to let them know I ain't gonna stop anytime soon. ;)

I re-worded the 2 parts there angel, I'll explain why too:

* Add an inactivity kick (Away From Keyboard, AFK) option for servers

* Improve the auto teamkilling bancode, so players cannot simply exploit and reset their team kills by leaving and rejoining the server. Add an option to forgive teamkills after a certain period of time of no teamkilling (default should be 1 hour).

For the AFK kick? it should be more than for dedicated servers, cause if I'm hosting a listenserver I'd be annoying if I had to manually boot them myself.

For the auto tking bancode? well you have to be more precise than bancode, and m$ hates the word exploit, to them exploits mean a hotfix. so we must scare them into fixing HaloPC. Plus giving them an idea should help them think it's within an acceptable time of work.. and not take forever to fix. ;)

so the new setup I'm sending?:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp?from=cu&a mp;fu=%2F i sapi%2Fgomscom%2Easp%3Ftarget%3D%2Fmswish%2Fthanks%2Ehtm

Ok, now, once you click on the link above, uner "Products", select "Games - Other".

Checkmark the boxes that you deem appropriate for what you suggest. For the suggestions I have below, I suggest checkmarking these boxes:


Preformance.

Networking or Connectivity

Customization of Preferences

Interoperability or Integration

Security


I say mention these statements:

These fixes should be implemented for HaloPC patch v1.07

* Fix map exploitations on Danger Canyon's base's back walls by separating them more, or adding an invisible blocking barrier between the back walls

* Fix map exploitations on Timberland's outer area by either making the outer area a fall-thru ground, or by adding 2 sets of invisible blocking barriers to trap players trying to exploit the map.

* Fix map exploitation on Infinity to get ontop of level by using a banshee to leap out and croutch to launch yourself through the invisible blocking barriers. This fix can be done by making the top of the level's ground fall-thru, or more invisible blocking barriers.

* Make weapon balance better by lowering rate of fire on fuel rod and make it do less damage.

* Make weapon balance better by lowering damage of fuel rods attached to banshees.

* Improve video optimizations more by better level geometry optimizations and particle effects optimizations.

* Fix crashing errors on map change that have reappeared in patch v1.06.

* If possible, improve netcode for less warping by improving the client side prediction, and fix the improved chance of warping errors that HaloPC patch v1.06 caused.

* Change gamemode "race" default settings to "cumulative" scoring, and 15 laps total.

* Fix msxmenu text system bug where if you alt-tab out of HaloPC, and return to HaloPC the text messes up.

* If possible improve netcode by implementing Gearbox's netcode fixes for HaloCE onto HaloPC.

* Keep track of Macsoft's progress on Patches since Halo for mac patch v1.06 still hasn't been released.

* Add an inactivity kick (Away From Keyboard, AFK) option for servers.

* Improve the auto teamkilling bancode, so players cannot simply exploit and reset their team kills by leaving and rejoining the server. Add an option to forgive teamkills after a certain period of time of no teamkilling (default should be 1 hour).

I dont see having to pay working. It is the internet guys.... pirates. But yes, I too would repurchase Halo PC given that it was updated and alll the problems were gone. Of course Im sure there would be more problems found but fixing the existing ones would be a blessing. Time to resend!!!!!

Heyyo,

Well, if you're looking for Halo on PC with multiplayer bots, better netcode, better video optimizations, and pretty mcuh guaranteed to update ti'll the products perfect? Project Torlan's a guaranteed bet. It's already shaping up to be a great mod, I'm sure the next big release will put it over the top and make it a true 3rd party mod. :)

I agree that it shouldn't cost any money, but i would definetly pay if i had to and it was a good update or patch or whatver. Lol i did hear about those new halo 2 maps, too bad they cost 20 bucks while we PC players got 5 sweet new maps for free.
I just realized that we have basically always been comparing halo 2 on pc to halo 2. Becuase halo on pc easily is better than halo on xbox and with online play is a match for halo 2. Now how much sweeter do you think halo 2 will be on pc baby!!

Oh, good idea mard, i might not be sending one every day but i will start sening more over and over whenever i can.

Chewy, I'm gonna be a jerk here, but... this thread is about Halo fixes, not UR...

K, I'm done.

Seriously, though, MS is a bunch of money sucking little (long string of expultives). Anyway, I'm just thinkin that it would be nice if they added the new Halo 2 maps for live players as a free addition onto the PC version... wouldn't that be great??

In Chewy's defense, I see what he was getting at though. It DID pertain to the topic because someone mentioned project torlan because it has better netcode and such.
Now, does anyone know if the demo will support project torlan? I had the demo at one point and only used it on occasion when I wasnt playing Halo PC or when I was at school where we havent gotten our new vid cards yet and Halo wouldnt run right. But I would like to try project torlan if it is supported by the demo of UT2k4

Off to send another!!!!

Heyyo,

Hmm, I don't think the demo supports mods, but you can check.. maybe it might say in the readme or something since the demo is ut2k4 just limited by a few files.

Project Torlan ain't complete yet. They've converted the vehicles, a few maps, all the characters (and then some), and a few weapons (pistol, ar, and plasma rifle I think)

well i think microsoftr is working on halo 2 for pc. Wel, microsoft gaming ain't doing anything so maybe they 're building halo 2 for pc.

well, i would like an update for halo mainly cause the weapons balance is a little off.
Ex. Fuel Rod fires so fast and does almost the same damage as rocket launcher.
I would also LOVE IT if microsoft changed Blood Gulch more. Blue team is at a major disadvantage cause red has such a hill to hide behind.

Yeah, make sure u say halo on PC somewhere in there cuz there only option is "games-other."
I also really dont think they should change Blood Gultch at all, that hill isnt any real advantage. I mean look how they ruined blood gultch in halo 2 on xbox!

Heyyo,

Doupt m$ is working on Halo2 for pc. They'd probably do more offsite contracting like they did with gearbox. Anywho, m$'s working on their only really good game series: Age Of Empires. AOE3 is in production, and that should be very good once done, if not? m$ just lost their best rts series.

Is Torlan just multiplayer or does it have another story line too? I might just get UR soon cause I need someother things to do than Halo, not saying halo is bad.

Maybe Mirosoft alreay realse pacth 1.07 i think its called Halo custom edition. I think that microsoft will not realse another pacth because the problem is alredy fixed on halo custom edition the netcode is better and there is the delagganatior which stops lagg.Also you get custom maps. To be honest this sounds like pacth 1.07.

Microsoft will be so stubborn about releasing another patch, and who says that they even read the bungie forums anyway. Maybe we can all use linux, that might get their attention.

Heyyo,

It's UT2k4, but you might wanna wait another year since ut2k5 is apparently in production, which's really ghey, they're starting to whore the UT series now... the upgrade from ut2k3 to 2k4 was worthwhile.. but for 2k5 they plan on adding just 1-2 new gamemodes? oi, sounds like a waste of cash. But I'm sure ut2k4 mods such as Project Torlan would work on ut2k5.

and Project Torlan so far is just a Halo to ut2k4 multiplayer mod, so I don't think there will be singleplayer. It would be interesting for them to make one, cause coop implementation in the UW Engine is pretty easy.. speaking of which, I saw that one dude was making an Unreal Coop 2k4 mod which would bring all the original Unreal campaign levels to UT2k4. :)

Yeah, digimaster mayve have gotten a little too overworked aboot the mentioning of rts's, but yes, we should keep this thread focused on Halo related things.
