an afk kick would be nice. i would like a new autoban like in my earlier post. How about a voting-ban system? Don't other online games use a voting system?

another hotfix.... uggh...... bungie, u NEED to listen to what people say in the Halo forums. Take a good look at the forums here, the forums at Gearbox (whose admins are corrupt), and the forums at www.halo2ce.epgservers.com. a good company responds to its fans and fulfills their requests. we dont want security fixes: that can wait. what we do want is NO LAG. lag is HORRIBLE and we want it GONE like it is on xbox live. plus we want HALO 2 PC. halo 3 is coming out next year and halo 2 hasnt even come out for the pc yet? liek wtf?! god....... give us halo 2 pc bungie.

plus..... and i know u will delete my post for this....... i have a VERY good idea that u guys have a working beta for halo 2 pc. just tell the world about it, ok? why wont u tell the world about it and get people excited? at least discuss it or something when u do ure Halo 3 presentation, geez.......

Thanks for picking up the ball for Gearbox on Halo CE updates!
The CE community has been waiting so long for these patches.
Bungie pwnz!

I can honestly say, that I have never played a fps that has lag problems like halo pc. I think that if anyone making these patches was a hardcore dedicated fan that actually playes the game alot, they would understand why so many people are complaining. Lag problems are very very obvious to me and most of the halo pc community. FIX YOUR GAME SLACKERS.

Heyyo,

Oh, here's my list of fixes that are needed:

* Fix map exploitations on Danger Canyon's base's back walls by separating them more, or adding an invisible blocking barrier between the back walls

* Fix map exploitations on Timberland's outer area by either making the outer area a fall-thru ground, or by adding 2 sets of invisible blocking barriers to trap players trying to exploit the map.

* Fix map exploitation on Infinity to get ontop of level by using a banshee to leap out and croutch to launch yourself through the invisible blocking barriers. This fix can be done by making the top of the level's ground fall-thru, or more invisible blocking barriers.

* Make weapon balance better by lowering rate of fire on fuel rod and make it do less damage.

* Make weapon balance better by lowering damage of fuel rods attached to banshees.

* Improve video optimizations more by better level geometry optimizations and particle effects optimizations.

* Fix crashing errors on map change that have reappeared in patch v1.06.

* If possible, improve netcode for less warping by improving the client side prediction, and fix the improved chance of warping errors that HaloPC patch v1.06 caused.

* Change gamemode "race" default settings to "cumulative" scoring, and 15 laps total.

* Fix msxmenu text system bug where if you alt-tab out of HaloPC, and return to HaloPC the text messes up.

* If possible improve netcode by implementing Gearbox's netcode fixes for HaloCE onto HaloPC.

* Keep track of Macsoft's progress on Patches since Halo for mac patch v1.06 still hasn't been released.

* Add an inactivity kick (Away From Keyboard, AFK) option for servers.

* Improve the auto teamkilling bancode, so players cannot simply exploit and reset their team kills by leaving and rejoining the server. Add an option to forgive teamkills after a certain period of time of no teamkilling (default should be 1 hour).

also please fix the outer blue tunnel on danger canyon, there's an invisible wall there which prevents you sniping into it from the far ledge, anyone in that tunnel can snipe out at you. and yes the tk rejoin thing, punj yen wa must be stopped.

Least you know there are still legions of PC fans out there...

Just make sure the hotfix is compatible with Windows SP2 and video cards...I dont want a repeat of 1.06 when i wasnt able to open halo for about a month...the app kept closing on me and didnt even let me get to the opening cinematics.

Im not sure if this is pertinent to a SECURITY patch, but I think this is worth mentioning

Halo is full of problems right now. 1.07 should do more:

It should:
Fix problems with mpas. ( i fell through floor in ice fields once!)
Make halo compatible with antialiasing and such.
IMprove Halo's netcode to fix lag issues
Fix Halo "Exception error"

I hope 1.07 will do that.

Nice JOB MARD for creating this idea. U helped make millions of online gamers happy

Heyyo,

Heh, I did try to make a diff with my idea.. I'm guessing they diddn't take it into consideration though since it's just a hotfix. :(

And for your suggestions, I highly doupt they'll make anti-aliasing work with halopc as they'd have to rebuild how they implemented their particle effects like the sniper zoom blurs.

the netcode? I was hoping.. but I'm douptful.. :(

now the gathering exception error seems to be mainly caused by the msxmenu.msi sp2 (I figure so cause usually when you type the game crashes). I dunno, but it seems to be unstable on a lot of systems..

Please fix the performance problems!!!! The Xbox plays flawlessly with it's GeForce3ti, My Ati 9600pro is literally twice as good as that card and I can barely get smooth frame rates at 1024x768! My other computer is a P4 1.7 with a GeForce3ti and with all settings turned all the way down it's STILL barely playable! It was advertised being able to play at 1600x1200. Seriously, what card could play it smooth at that resolution at it's time of release??!! NONE. Anti-Aliasing would also be nice, Halo's the only modern game I have ever seen that can't use it. C'mon, this is the best first person shooter of all time! Why such a crappy port for the PC?! I have played many Xbox ports that perform so much better.

Don't -blam!- about us modders. Every single game I have played that is modded has a warning in the server name. And if modding was stopped, there would be at least 12,000 angry HaloMods members on your case.

Yes, mods aren't a problem. If you don't like modded servers, don't join them.

xbox runs smoothly because it has a resolution of a tv, which i think is 720*480 or something like that. Xbox also doesn't have a resouce-hog OS and drivers, spyware, viruses, etc.

Many problems with exception occurs:
1st type: When Halo loads and starts, there is a crash message saying Gathering Exception
2nd type: Graphic Issue causes Exceptioon: Whenever u load a game or map or just play halo, it crashes and says Exception

3rd type: What MARD ssaid
4th type: When Halo does a map change, it crashes (ex. ur on server, and the game ends. When u rotate, it crashes.

Halo has many problems. Halo for PC is fun and is a great game. Too bad technical problems are holding back its TRUE potential. Halo has AWFUL compatibility with drivers, and hardware, and different companys or brands. It also is VERY unstable. It was a great idea for a 1.07 patch. Thx Bungie, but i hope u can add more to 1.07

Heyyo,

Ver speaks the truth sadly, bungie employees don't bother looking through the forums, they have them here purely for the fans.
