Subject: Gearbox's official word on Halo PC and Halo CE

In case you missed it, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford has announced what the future holds for Halo PC and Halo CE here.

I'll sum it: if you are still playing Halo PC online, and are experiencing problems with it, then move to Halo CE - it's unlikely that Halo PC will have anymore patches. However, for Halo CE to be patched further, the number of people using it also needs to increase. Randy has said that a patch will be released if at least 1,000 are using Halo CE simultaneously, and that more patches will be released if the numbers continue to increase.
So stop waiting around, playing Halo PC - download the far superior Halo CE and help Gearbox create the best multiplayer experience ever. And then make and download some custom maps and mods to convince even more people to downlaod Halo CE.

Yeah, I am using Halo CE for mupltiplayer now. Less servers with cool new levels (i.e. created ones).

Thx you goweb for posting something about this. Nad dont punch Randy, read the posts first. What he said makes perfect sense, and if you wanna punch somebody, Ill help you do it to Bill Gates. (Microsoft is pretty much the culprit here...)

Not really.You have to have the code on the HAlo PC cd case to install Halo CE.

Umm, I dont know if you read the posts, but Randy rarely ever talks as if hes the owner of GBX. He acts just like any normal Halo player. As well, he said if anybody says that he is himself, they lie.

There is like only 46 people playing in HaloCE the last time I saw. And most of the servers were empty. 0/16. Just sad.

And that's exactly the sort of attitude that's stopping people playing Halo: CE. It's a vicious circle.

We need to get more people in there. I would gladly play with 3 or 5 people, but not with Zero inside. You should start up a game gathering in a server Goweb, maybe that might help the Bungie PC community give it a running start.

I think that Bungie replacing all of their servers with CE ones would get more people to play CE.

ooh ooh... i got an idea... make Halo "CE" a patch for Halo "PC" and force everyone to use it, then seperate modded rooms from non-modded rooms with a little check mark box alongside the ping and players and room name and such, and you can sort by that, just like everything else... such a simple concept... dont create an entire new and seperate program years after release with no advertising, that will RIVAL the original product, and seems like many to be pointless and just an inconveinance.... if you want "Halo CE" to happen, then make it a patch, seriously...

  • 07.09.2004 2:40 PM PDT

They can't - CE is a Gearbox game, while PC is still a Microsoft game.

Can the Halo CE work for the downloaded trial of Halo PC? (I'm such a rip-off, I'm never going to get Halo PC, the trial gives you everything you could want. =)

  • 07.10.2004 1:17 PM PDT

No.

* CUSTOM CONTENT
* Server MoTD
* Supposedly faster shader
* Future update potential (unlike Halo PC)
* Fewer -blam!-tards

That's probably because you can't see the servers with the new maps on them. This is because you're filter won't show them. Go to filter and make sure it lets you see custom made maps, then you will need to download some maps to play with.

Click Here for a site where you can download maps for CE

I've downloaded like 20 already. 10 of them suck, but 5 are average and 5 are great! the New Mombasa one is REALLY nice. A bit o-blam!-h, and the Streets of Earthcity let you pretend to have a BattleRifle and Plasma sword, and fly a pelican! But the map sucks rocks...
