[begin rant]
Why? I'll tell ya why. Because if I join a server with an admin, I get kicked - for playing well. This ass bans me from a server he's hosting (not ded) cuz after he goes on and on about being so l337 with 14 ppl on and nobody has less than 300 ms lag, I cap his ass - twice. Now, it doesn't take a BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM!!!!!!!! rocket scientist to figure out that all you have to do is lead your shots. I get called a cheater and get banned - FRICK! I'm one of the more active Halo players out there- i don't mean just playing - I belong to a clan, I belong to these forums and Gearbox's forums and I'm a regular contributor and some sawed off no good schmuck teenager is gonna call me a cheater and ban me because he doesn't know how to lose. Little punk shoulda played some team sports.

Ugh.... So why does Halo CE suck? Because the people suck. Yeah, they play better, but they're full of themselves. All of em? Nope. Some of em... ehhhh - more like a handful, and when the community is as small as Halo CE's, that's enough to spoil the whole lot of em. Why would I never cheat - no time, no desire, and I don't see the point in asserting my own video game l337ness over others. Yay! great you can mow me down 50-0 in a slayer match, that counts for what? Nothing - absolutely nothing, cuz even when I lose, I still have a good time. that's why I play, because it is enjoyable for me.... until some n00blet bans me from the only server with ppl on it.....

I would have you make one tiny change to your forum post, if you will.

"Why Halo Players in General Suck"

Whether you're playing Halo PC, Halo for Xbox via XBC, Halo 2... all the people suck. Most of them are inconsiderate and rude - admins and players alike. That's just the way things are, unfortunately. We can only assume things will get better in the future and move on.

What you posted above has very little to nothing to do with Halo Custom Edition and only serves to further tarnish an already defiled reputation. I have no idea why I even care about Custom Edition anymore, as Gearbox and Bungie have killed it beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it was my impression that you were only hours ago trying to set up your own ded for CE?

You should keep up with that.

As you rightly state, the Custom Edition player pool is very small. Thus, with your own dedicated server, you could prove a large positive force in such a very tiny community. Don't get me wrong. Halo Custom Edition is past its prime. Its heydey is long over, but that doesn't have any bearing on our ability to have fun with it. I'm not sure of the current status of your project, as I don't keep up with this forum as much as I used to, but I for one would still love to play on a CE Maw Server.

The situation you outlined above is as old as game servers themselves. You will see this in any game you play, to varying degrees. Halo as a whole - meaning Halo CE: Xbox, Halo CE: PC, Halo 2, all of them - seem to attract the immature younger crowd. For what reason is beyond me, but it is downright infuriating for those who are looking for some good, quality gametime... for people who just want to play the game the way it was meant to be. I know where you're coming from. I've experienced the same thing under Halo PC and Halo Custom Edition. But that's no reason to quit or post messages like these. The power-freak wannabe admins have won round one of their little game. Don't let them win a second or third by throwing your hands up and high-tailing it outta here. Especially if this is the behavior typical of ALL good players. O_o

But whatever, there has been no great loss, has there? Who wants to play on unbalanced non-deds anyway? ;)

The one thing I can tell you for sure is that posts like these serve to do nothing positive for the game... except maybe release some of that pent-up steam in there, which is a positive thing, I guess. My only mandate is that you forum regulars not start falling appart at the seams, as I'm only just getting around to repairing my computer and being able to play HCE again for the first time in about four months. It's been torture sitting on the sidelines. You guys dang well better not leave just as I get the chance to come back. ;)

Ah well, anyway... You guys have a good one. I hope everyone takes this with a grain of salt and I'll maybe see you all in a game at the end of the week.

Wow! That was one of the most mature,respectful, levelheaded posts I have ever read. Am Inspire, don't give up man. The reasons you sighted were the exact reasons you wanted to create a ded server, and the reasons why I was done with CE. I started playing CE again because you guys are setting up a MAW server. I'm getting tired of playing PC against random people I don't know and can't interact with.

Halo CE is fun to play with halo zanzibar and other maps.

However, some -blam!-tards, considered me cheating from making all those head shots with the battle rifle, and owning them all! Then some dude named lightning, said leave, now. I looked puzzled, and suddenly it ssaid i was banned. I wish M$ would make a tracking system of admins, and ban them from halo if they ban for unecessary reasons.

Also, once i had a banshee duel with one admin., and i did a spiral spin manuever(very common, but this admin was a newb see.). Then, i rear ended him and punded him with endless rounds of heavy plasma. He was shot down, and he called me a "a cheating crack, whos a malicious hacker!" I got banned, and i haven't played CE for a long time, until the Maw server came up.

*sigh* Good point Leoht - but, for the record, I didn't quit - I was banned. Since I'm pretty busy with school and now that I see you guys haven't lost interest, I'll set the server back up for friday evening and run it until I have time to actually play. I really wish I had an extra box for you guys... I'd leave the server up 24/7.... Maybe when I upgrade....

Thanks for the support guys.

Oh no, I know what happened. I have no delusions of what went on during that game you were explaining. You explained it well. I was referring to the possibility of you quiting Halo Custom Edition as a result of a bad public server experience. I've seen it happen many, many times. In any case, It is good to hear you will be sticking around for a little while. :)
