Last night there was a Gearbox/Modacity reunion party of the Halo CE community. It was the first time I played for real in about two years. But enough about that...
I was shocked at the numbers of the 1.08 community. Only about 200 people were on (which isn't bad for a holiday, but still). Just for the hell of it, I switched the version of Halo to 1.07 to see the population, and then I switched to 1.00 (or 1.04, whatever). I was shocked by the results.
I remember some saying the population of 1.00 was greater than 1.08, but I never believed it would be so dramatic. 1.00 was pushing 700 players. Now I'm still in shock as I'm wondering "WHY!?"
Is there anyone here who plays the outdated, vulnerable version instead of the updated 1.08?
Does anyone know WHY people play the outdated version instead of the new one?
I really can't understand, and I've been thinking of an answer for hours. I doubt it's largely because of piracy because you can't have two of the same CD key in any server. And it can't be related to no-cd issues because the 1.08 patch doesn't require a CD to play. So what motive is there for people to want to play the outdated version?
