Hello.
I'm fairly new to Halo CE, and it's weird ! I have some questions i wish to ask.

Q1. - Whats all this "klanhosting" stuff? Rent a server? Why would you rent a server, when you can creat one yourself??

Q2. - How come loads of the servers are empty 0/10 for example?? How do you make an empty server ??

Q3. - The map "h2_zanzibar" that i have, is poor quality, is this because
a. I have bad graphics card
b. The graphics are bad for everyone
?

Q4. - The sword, it's RUBISH ! You cannot spurt, like on Halo 2, Xbox. - You can only hit people at close range - it sucks ass !!!!

Please help,
Toonyan

Paying for a server is for clans and stuff people who want there own server to be up non stop


if u want empty server Host on Lan no one can join also Half the server are empty cause no one knows about to CE

Zanzibar the map isent good with Graphics turn ur Setting to high should be good if it isent that. its ur card if you want good Halo 2 Graphics get Ruined Pain TE Link here :http://www.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=1037


Yes the sword isent very good cause the game isent on the halo 2 Grahics engine if u dont like it you will have to deal with it cause all the maps with swords are like that.

If I were you, I would at least be impressed with the fact that a group of modders made that sword and the new gameplay elements of dual-wielding and using the sword...for no profit. And the graphics on zanzi are probably your video card. Did you expect it to look exactly like the Halo 2 version? Heh, apparently you haven't realized how much of a professional job Halo 2 is. Modding something...from the ground up mind you...like that, with a group of modders who don't even get payed, is almost impossible.

Servers are empty because no one is playing...

I actually prefer the HCE Zanzibar (Classic) over the Halo 2 one! I don't think the graphics are bad either, but that's just my opinion... Maybe it is just your graphics.

Yes, it was my terrible graphics card, i had a Geforce 2, now i have like GeForce Fx, the best around. The graphics are totaly amazing !
I have a problem, people can't come into my servers, i run from a router, this i think is the problem, soemone told em to open two ports, but i don't know which or how. Please help.

you might rent a server if you want it running non-stop, or if your pc/internet sucks.

From what I understand, the mod for h2_zanzibar drops frames and that's why it's slow...
