Dear Bungie;

I know you just releashed the update 1.08 on 08.06.2008 and i realize that wasn't that long ago. But many of us other halo pc gamers have found another big problem. During online games we have somthing called "non syncing" and were wondering if you could make an update to fix that. If you don't know what i talk about when i say non syncing here is an example: A player joins another players game w/ ai in it and the host is shooting at one ai but the new guy who just joined just sees him shooting at somthing invisable not even there. and then the new guy gets hit by it but can't even see it and eventualy dies. There are other causes of nonsyncing to, people have complained why they aimed at someones head and missed while the other player was standing completley still. And on more just to top it off. The non Tbag sync. When a player kills someone on halo they like to Tbag that guy by going over to his dead bocy and crouching multiple times on him. But the dead guy if still waiting to respawn sometimes sees him just Tbagging the ground and not his dead body. because of a non sync eror. I have played other pc game w/ online and they sync. So my question is just to ask you if you can fix this with an update?

Isn't this your third thread about this?

1) The AI syncing is never going to be fixed. The game wasn't built to handle AI over the net (sadly since it could have been done) so it's not even really a bug.

2) Corpses not syncing isn't a bug, it was made that way. They don't sync because the developers didn't view corpse location as important since it makes zero difference to the gameplay. They rightly felt that the bandwidth could be better spent elsewhere.

Long story short, this won't be fixed.

Hey you never know. Bungie might look at halo again and want to try to fix the not bugs but issues with the game. So it could be funner to play those ai maps!

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

Actually we do know since we've been at this a long time. :)

Gearbox did the port. Bungie is so far removed from this game at this point it isn't even a question.

Besides, Halo Custom Edition is totally unsupported and has been unsupported from day 1.

I feel for you younger guys who are into Halo PC now since you are experiencing all the frustrations many of us did 3-5 years ago. But in all that time, Bungie has never lifted a finger. They are Xbox developers and have been since around 2000.
