Actually, I've got a dual opteron server and a seperate cable line specifically for it. It runs at 3Mbps, and has held 64 people of Battlefield Vietnam.

I used to run it.

It can be available in about two weeks for the entire summer.

I think somebody else already has a Maw server up and running...but its on Halo CE, so i cant tell you too much about it (I dont have CE).

I believe that "aM Inspire" is who you want to talk to...

Also, rumor says that there is another Maw server on PC.

But if you want to start one up, here would be a great place to ask for help.

I do think that putting the server on PC will get more traffic but if you are putting it on CE so that people will download CE... that just won't work.

Hey SLD I getting ready to by a PCI-x system and have a $150 to spend on a video card.

It looks like my choices at that price are a ASUS Extreme N6600 256MB or a Sapphire Viper X700 256MB. Is one of these cards better? Would it be better to spend an extra $40 and get a X700 Pro? Thx

PCI-express or PCI-X...PCI-X is a server-ish PCI slot on steroids.

But if it is PCI-express, the 6600, probably, though try for a GT. Much better than a normal. The Sapphire Viper...isn't that the cruddy one, or is that the Toxic? Hmm, just read reviews and compare some benchmarks to be sure.

Kinda off topic there, Igg...

I would start up my own Maw server cause I think talk without action is pointless, but I have neither the hardware nor the time to do so.

What do you want me to tell you? I had it up a while back when EVERYONE wanted it. It was up for two days and not one single person. I kept it on on the next couple of weekends and maybe 1-2 people. Why waste it when no one joins? So I moved it to another task...now everyone wants it.

Whoa! I didnt exactly want you to tell me anything...besides, like I said, I dont have the time to do so. (college+job)

Perhaps you didnt announce it as much.

Now. I will refer everyone interested in this Idea to SLD. SLD - can you make this server in a couple of weeks and keep it running? I have realized the limitations of my own connection (laggy after 4 ppl join - DSL Lite). Yours is far superior to mine. Can we make it on CE? And use the init builder to set up the auto tk ban?

And not have a password. Just make the ATK ban really strict. I can send you an init file. Also - can you enable and save the logfiles? I'd like to use them for the stats project. And, once I get the project finished, maybe we could test it on the logfiles from the server - sort like a private alpha or beta. I think it would be a lot of fun. I'm really sorry it didn't work out last time, but I really think we should give it another shot.

The mods are back with us again, too. When the time comes for you to set up the server, we can make a coherent thread, and I'll ask goweb or Recon to sticky it. That will get us the attention we want. And I think it might even send a few players over to CE... especially if their stats are going to be recorded and posted online... hehe....

So.... are you game?

Server was up all night, will be up. In about 10 days I will transition it over to my real one, as it is running on my normal pc.

Just a question, the logfiles - where are they saved, all I did was add in my own custom rotation to the init file for now. Is that okay?

You have to put a line in the init file for log files to be saved. Can't remember what it is though.

Ah, d@mmit!

Every time somebody thinks up this kind of idea, its ALWAYS on CE!

*runs to room crying and slams door*

=====><=====

BTW, Voodoo, you probably cant find it cause youre looking on the PC servers. You need to download CE and look for it in there. Those are two seperate games.

It's up now, it had a 20-minute lapse before so I could get some other stuff done. Mainly because no one FRICKEN uses it.

Anyway, it has been accessed by a few people so far.

Have you enabled empty servers to be shown? It's on H2_Zanzibar and New Mombasa, and then the bread and milk maps.

[Warning: Halo CE Bashing ahead]

CE is just not enjoyable. For the last month, when I go to play Halo I start out on CE and try to play a few games. Out of about 40 games entered I have had 3 enjoyable games. Either 1). There aren't emough players,you need 6-8 on large map CTF, are there are never more then 6 servers with 6 or more players in them. 2.) 5 - 10 FPS and lag so horrendous it tears the time-space continium. Now part of this is my machine which sucks, but not all of it. I have played in CE games where there was little to no lag and was impressed. But for the most part I'm warping a half-a-block or shooting at ghosts. The lag in HaloPC is consistent, I can adjust to it. The lag in Halo CE is all over the place. 3) The Players they are worse then HaloPC, more noobs, elitist pistol whores, whiny crybabies and tking f@#$ tards. I even came into a game, found an enemy, sniped him and he starts -blam!-ing that he was having a conversation with someone. I replied "I'm sorry, I thought CE meant Custom Edition not Chat Edition, my bad, carryon. I just not happy with CE. Rant over.

Well, I should mention that in addition to setting up this server, SLD has offered the logfiles to aid in the development of the Halo CE Stats Project. Thanks, SLD. If you have time, please remember to stop by and play a game or two, or just mess around for a few minutes. Remember that you're helping the Halo CE Stats Project when you do.
[/plug]

Also, SLD - PM me when you transition the server and we'll get that thread made and stickied.
