Halo1 is dying. Who can we blame for this? Microsoft, Bungle, and Gearbox. They obviously do not care about their customers. They failed to even include the most basic elements of online FPS's: Voting, AFK kick, and decent ban system.

The worst of all is the lag, which is TERRIBLE. Halo1 is the LAGGIEST online game OF ALL TIME, and Bungle, M$, and Gearbox don't give a crap. They wanted it to work well on 56k modems, which 1% of the game uses, lol. Ironically, it would have worked better if they tired to make it for fast connections - HOW SAD. Every patch M$ makes contributes even more to the lag. The game at its current state is UNPLAYABLE due to lag.

This game is dying at a very rapid rate. After the release of Halo2, the number of players dropped online at any one time dropped by 1000. Since then, it has dropped from ~1200 to ~800. In about a year, this game will be a ghost town.

Bungle and M$ manage to mess up another one of their games. Mabey thats why they didn't sell many copies of HaloPC.

Well, the death of haloPC will still be a happy ending for bungle and M$ - they still get their money, and a few thousand pissed customers.

The only thing that is saving HaloPC is a HUGE patch, that fixes LAG, Glitches, Crashes, and adds basic online features.

Otherwise...

GG BUNGLE & M$

Yeah, I'd give it 6 more months tops, with the new maps out, and xbox360 around the corner, (also the craptacular lag), this game should be dead.

I think you're both wrong. CE and PC will last quite a while longer. It may lose some popularity due to Xbox 360, but most of the CE/PC croud is the croud that will not (or cannot) buy a console. HPC and HCE will be a round quite a bit longer than 6 months, mark my words.

And please, Sh4rk B1t3, Bungie cares quite a bit about their fan base. I can't say the same about M$, but I know about bungie for a fact. You have now insulted not only Macs (a mortal sin), but Bungie too (almost as mortal), both by not being quite up on the facts. I understand that you are up on the facts about the player drop, but bungie and gearbox not caring? Definitely not (they released CE and HEK, free upgrades that virtually turn halo into a different game).

I hope Halo 1 lasts a long time. Or at least until they make Halo 2 for PC. As for Halo 2 for PC, they'd better make it. I really want to see the new weapons and multiplayer maps. I just really hope they make Halo 2 for PC. Otherwise, Halo 1 FOREVER!

Halo1pc will last a long time. CE...not really. Its already in its death throes. But PC has some things that xbox will never be able to do, like provide FREE online gaming.

Look at Counterstrike, for example. Its still going...I think HaloPC will do the same.

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

I agree with Phoenix, though. Halo2pc probably equals the death of Halo1pc

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

Yout3 is right...Bungie does care a little about its fanbase. Enough to establish several bungie servers online and create this very forum here. That stuff doesnt come cheap...

Pheonix, understand that halo 2 is a much bigger game. They probably won't make it because of the fact that only the people who have a good computer would be able to stand the amount of lag it would give. Online would be impossible.

You overlook the fact that bungie operates more like an individual company than as a subsidiary of M$ (as noted in their history section) which is what yout3 is referring to.

HALO WILL NEVER BE DEAD!!!
I know some of you may have your own points,but im one of those[few people that like halo]die hard fans but there is now question about it that halo is dead.I found that if i played halo 2[ at a friends] for a while that after a few weeks when i came back to halo, the weapons were so POWERFULL. i feel that you need to think if halo goes what will people do. if you take a look, you will see that there is not a great deal of games that are alot like halo.

[but I do wish they would bring out halo 2 on pc!]

I'm not sure if anyone's said this yet but this guy is either spelling or thinks "Bungie" is spelled Bungle, oh wait...now i get it. anyways i think we all know that when Halo 2 PC comes out Halo 1 will be all but abondoned, unlike with the release of Halo 2 Halo 1 still has a dedicated following, and it's still one of the greatest FPSs ever created, however Halo PC's shortfalls and even alone it's terrible lag will surely scare people off for good.

I don't really ever see a return of "classic" Halo PC games happening or anything like that, Halo 2 would just be the new baby, and the old one will be thrown into the corner of the tool shed and left to rot...well in a manner of speaking... However until then I think we'll just have to sit back and bear listening to this whiney laggey baby.

Heyyo,

I say Halo1 has a year left innit, ce is pretty much just a clan or lan game.

Now, let's compare HaloPC to Unreal 1. Unreal 1 was incredible, had coop, lots of game modes. Let's compare the player count of HaloPC vs Battlefield 1942.

Release Dates

Battlefield 1942: Sept 10, 2002
HaloPC: Sept 2003

Player Counts:
Battlefield 1942: 3183
HaloPC: 1211

Yeah, HaloPC's definately got a year or so of life left innit, I figure BF1942's still got plenty of kick innit, of course the release of BFV (and soon BF2) impacted these numbers. So the Battlefield series on PC ain't gonna die down anytime soon, but Halo for PC? seriously dwindling, if only we got support..
