i hope that the people that are -blam!-ing about lag have broadband. If the -blam!-ers have dialup, you are just making fools of yourselves.

MaRD let me remind you that we don't have even a nanobite of imformation about Halo2 Pc from any ofiicial sourse. As it is the question is whether it will have any support at all not how much. First let's wait till it comes out then start to complain as soon as posible.

Dont be rediculous the Mard, remember, alot of people still will buy it because of the online MP, thats why my mate wants it to come out on PC when he has it on xbox. Also Mard, some people cant be arsed to play it online, they just love the story.

There are alot of other good dedicated servers out there. Almost, if not all of them say when they are playing with modded maps.

First off there has been an issue for several weeks where all the servers don't show up unless you join a game and leave it and then refresh. This is the only way to get all the servers. I was playing on a server and had a firewall issue. Went back after fixing the issue and couldn't get back to the same server until I did this twice. The same game was going on, so it wasn't that the server was offline.

Second, this patch is causing a lot of lag. Yesterday and today I would get lagged for 30 seconds at a time. This isn't constant, I still have good pings when it happens(34-67). But it's very annoying in a close slayer game to be suddenly unable to fight. Also, there seem to be a lot of people crashing out of games since this patch as well. There are a lot more people leaving and coming back to the same game than usual is what leads me to believe this.

i haven't noticed more or less lag with the new patch. I have noticed that I can't join my own dedicated server without switching the ports of halo then switching back to default ports. The DedServer ports are 2312 and 2313. Halo is set to 2302 and 2303. Any idea why this happens?

Since 1.07 Ive noticed no change..the lag is still the same, moderate at best, and the server list is still as populated..crashes on map loads do occur more often, but I think thats because recently ive started playin the known bugged maps like rat race...
I think its purely coincidental that people seem to be experiencing more lag, especially when the vast majority of people I talk to about their experiences with the patch (100% of them in fact) tell me that nothings changed except the message at the bottom of the server list lol
I get 30-60 ping in all EU servers, and ive got an average british net connection (0.5Mb), I choose to play in servers that come up with <=130 ping, and can cope with minor porting, if theres a few people in the server with uber pings, it doesnt bother me, and from my experience, it doesnt lag up the whole server as everyone says, people I come up to 1v1 behave the same as usual, unless they are the people with the uber pings, in which case, yes, they port like theres no tomorrow. I wont go into my favourite server out of principle if there's a high ping, its not worth it. I choose to play with people of similar ping to my own (mostly) because I know that this is going to reduce my chances of lag. People who go into servers, knowing full well that 3/15 of the people playing with them have the same ping as them, and 12/15 have higher, only have themselves to blame if they experience lag. just pick servers more carefully..

Well, I'd like to give Bungie some advice so that they can avoid a 140 post flame in the future.

Some more extensive playtesting would be nice - to ensure the game is balanced, free of bugs, and encourages strategy and teamwork, not exploits and noobishness.

Does anybody think the PC version may have been intentionally jacked up so that we'd be more encouraged to buy $boxes?

Just a thought...

Chewy I would try that, but when I started having the server issue dozens of other people had the same issue. About 10% of the servers were all that would show up. So if it's on my end, it was something put out by the gamespy servers to a lot of people's clients. I think gamespy isn't making enough money from bungie and is trying to help hasten the demise of the game.

Heyyo,

True, no official word on Halo2pc.. but do you think there really needs to be an official word to think that what has happened with halo1pc will probaly be the same for halo2pc? think about that. Bottom line, bungie will be busy with Halo3, Halo2PC will probably be given to a side company (hopefully not gearbox..) and the support will only go as far as they acutally care, which won't be much once the sales dwindle. Sure, Halo2PC will crank up some good sales, but to match $box? I'm douptful as we won't get any hype. It'll pretty much be selling from mouth-to-mouth, but what if the mouth's view was sour before the game even came to be, all cause of a sequel? think about that.

I had hope for great patches back when stuff like v1.02 patch came out, after that it was all downhill though.. I'm sure I'll never play great halopc matches like back on v1.02 patch... dang, even my local lan party has decided Halo won't be used ever as a tourney game which's seriously killing me. :(

Unfortunatly MarD you are right and it's going to be damned hard to change that (assuming of course that it comes out). As for the sales Bungie/Microsoft should take a look at this post becouse that is right too.Halo2Pc won't get the hype of the xbox counterpart just becouse it would come out later. And with the sales comes the support...sad very sad...

Wo wo wo, i appreciate what Bungie did for Halo PC by doing the Patch, it really is unfair if we PC gamers dont get Halo 2, everyone here doesnt care about the patch, we want a release date for Halo 2, when can we receaive this information? Hope fully soon. Halo 3 is coming out for xbox next year, but that must mean if Halo 2 PC is going to happen, it must come out some time near xmas or start of next year. It would be unfair if xbox get 2 Halo games in a row and us PC gamers are stuck here wandering how the story line goes on. If i was Bungie, i would protest to Microsoft, and stick up for yourselfs. We dont need a patch Bungie, we need Halo 2.

I have the ultimate question.......what if after all the moaning for improvements hoping that it'll be sorted on Halo 2 PC, it has similar flaws that aren't going to be fixed either? How will people take this? Sure...some people will be so upset as to sell their copy of the game, whereas others will just suck it up and get on with it the best they can. I guess no matter how many flaws that can be fixed, the majority of people will always by the product if it's "popular".
