Heyyo,
Odie, sure, being able to play is nice, but being forced to play a jaded game? that's a different story. We're screwed to horrible clientside prediction, uber weapon balance problems, and a better anti-tker/afk system. Those are just the main problems. There's plenty more. My first clan, a Halo clan, no longer plays HaloPC. Why? it pisses them off more than gives fun. It's the same for me now. I always see people with the fuel rod guns. A fellow pistoler is a rare thing, especially a good one at that. Everyone's also against the convenant weapons.. wth I say, cause they are darn fun.
Lack of care and true support is ruining HaloPC. So odie, we say, "what's the use of security hotfixes if the core of the product is bugged?"
Another thing I don't understand about the predicament is Bungie owns the rights to Halo, gearbox is only there due to a contract. Why the hell do you have literally no control over your own product?? why not just tell gearbox "hey, and the source code over, we're gonna do improve the game since you guys won't do jack squat." or is there too much 'legalities' to deal with to actually try n' improve the game?
Btw, BIA... gearbox should come back to HaloPC, lol, bia wasn't that great, mp with only like, 4-6 buds is very limiting.. although fun for a bit... very limiting. I doupt it'll become more than just a good rump for a month or two. I think the best thing gearbox has done was help work on Half Life 1 since that game turned out to be darn good.. mainly cause like, valve patched it n' constantly improved it, NOT gearbox.. gearbox helped build the core, and then valve took over the patching. They had the right idea.. Bungie should learn from this.
