Poll: what is the most important thing you want fixed in the 1.07 patch?  [closed]
new autoban:  0%
(0 Votes)
voting ban system:  17%
(4 Votes)
afk kick:  0%
(0 Votes)
rare crash fix:  0%
(0 Votes)
lag:  54%
(13 Votes)
more anti-hacking:  8%
(2 Votes)
CE and PC compatability:  8%
(2 Votes)
Better performance (i.e. graphics):  12%
(3 Votes)
Total Votes: 24

here's my descriptons of a few of the voting options:

new autoban: keeps track of the # of tk's for a set period of time (i.e. 24 hours), whether you leave, go to another server, or switch profile names. # of tk's resets after time limit or when your ban is lifted. Should make the current way to bypass autoban useless (tk, quit, come back, repeat).

afk kick: automatically kicks a player if there is no response from that player for a set peroid of time (i.e. 1 or 2 whole games; 20 min). May improve the "fairness" of team games. Can be turned on or off at will by host.

CE and PC compatability: allows PC players to play on CE servers and vice versa. May inform more players of what CE is.

voting ban system: when a player tk's, other players on the team recieve a prompt. It says to "press so and so key to vote "ban" and "press so and so key to vote "don't ban". Requires a majority of the vote (such as over 75%). This required amount of votes decreases as the tker tk's more ppl (10% per tk after that). May be used in combination with new autoban so that the tker gets banned automatically after a set amount of tk's. Can be turned on and off at will by host.

if you have your own descripions, or other things to be fixed, please post them.

also every listed in the post, except for the voting to ban system. it should be entirely up to the host whether to ban someone or else if someone is really not liked then he will be kicked off every single server and the person will hate halo and never come back.

i hate lag. if i had 1 wish to come true, it would be to eliminate world lag!

i hope they update and fix the netcode cause i have dial-up so i need the info asap or i get dropped.



or even better--get rid of the diffrent settings for network. just have it set up so that the same ammount of info is tranfered over all computers and not have one computer at t1 and another at dsl and a third at 56k. the 56k would be normaly dropped because of all that data from the t1 and dsl blocking the in/out

the voting ban system is really meant for public dedicated servers, such as bungie ctf. A host or someone with rcon should have all rights. i know, maybe the host can set voting on or off, like rcon. i'll put the turn on and off in the first post.

That would be awesome, but I doubt it is possible.

DON'T TOUCH THE HACKING-NESS.

I'm a modder, and although I don't use MP mods when online, if we couldn't mod Halo you would have to contend with at LEAST 12,000 angry people.

And if hacking continues, you might have to deal with at LEAST 12,000,000 (blatantly exagerated) who don't mod, and just want a fair game.

*Fix the lag COMPLETELY. Most games do not lag AT ALL.

*Fix map glitches.

*Make the game perform better. The game is really old but requires a $3000 dollar PC to run it well.

*Make the fuel rod gun do less damage

*Display names over people's heads

*Show server rules

*Get rid of sticky from ghosts and banshees (keep PR sticky)

*Get rid of banshee fuel rod cannon

*Add a filter that filters out: Moded servers, Heavy Weapon/Normal Weapon, Big Maps/Small Maps/Both

*Fix Exception error

*Voting: change map, change gametype (slayer/ctf/etc.), Kick Player, FF On/Off

that sounds strangely similar to what halo CE does.

Halo CE still has worse lag
Halo CE still has map glitches
Halo CE still has exception error
Halo CE does not have those filters
Halo CE does not have voting
Halo CE's fuel rod is even better to use than other guns because of the lag
Halo CE's banshee had a fuel rod

So long as the game still runs with xp SP2...i had that annoying problem where the game just closed on me for no reason for a VERY long time.

I wouldn't mind seeing online coop, and the lag gone, or close to it.

Don't get rid of it. Just put a warning that says it has been modded. Trust me, if modding stops, Halo will become very boring for people like me who have finished it many times and rarely get to play MP.
