I have to agree. the number of people I would recognise as die hard players has dropped dramatically. I play Halo several times a week and recently I have not seen the "usual suspects" !!
Also when in a game the amount of people who will not even stay for a full game is on the increase, especially if the team is getting beat. I guess some people always want to be on the winning side, but I have seen games swing from side to side during the course of a few hours play. So don't loose hope after a few minutes.!!
The other major difference is no-one communicates anymore, I personally would be quite active in warning my team to incoming threats, campers etc. but I find I would be alone in this now.??
It would be a great pity if Halo were to die as it is still very enjoyable !!
So, any one out there who spots Adduxi, give me a shout !!!

Judging by the fact that no bungle employee has replied to my thread, I come to the conclusion that THEY DONT GIVE A -blam!- -blam!-.

Wait, I knew that a long time ago.

Never mind.

I`m going for about a year too...lately i didn`t see anybody i know and play with usualy on ANY servers...specialy the usual players on the EU-BUNGIE CTF servers like Twist of Fate or any other morons(this in the case that u guys play on these servers)...then the lagg is just going overboard...in the past 3 days i have not been able to play on ANY bloody server without warping or not being able to move even if the servers ping was 67 and so on.

I don`t know what the bloody hell they doin but it`s pissing me the -blam!- off.
I play UT2004 and HL2 online and have LESS lagg then i ever had on halo.

Heyyo,

MST. BF2 dude? incredible netcode. BARELY any lag onna server of 64 players, and a ping of 96! it was freakin' incredible! uber-cudos to DICE. Since I downloaded it yesterday? I've played over 8hrs I bet, lol..

Needless to say? CRLAN2 I'll have a big edge over everyone else n' totally smoke them all to the ground. I'll be the commander, I'll be the one-man-pwning-army. Heh, can't wait to see the expressions on their faces when my score skyrockets over theirs again like the BFV tourney.

Yes, HPC's netcode sucks. It will eventually (EVENTUALLY) die out, excluding a few diehard players.

And MarD, while I respect you greatly, this is The Maw. There are forums for BF2. No offense intended.

Well.... if ever I go psycho and reinstall steam and find my HL cd-key, the chances are very high you guys will never see me again unless you take up playing Natural Selection....

Team Voice Comms makes the game, imo.

Heyyo,

Heh, I know this's the maw, but let's face it, this topic's about how much life's left in Halo. I say it should expand into potential future games we could play to replace it. There was a (ok, crappy) halo mod for battlefield 1942, hopefully we see a good one for it. One I'm looking forward to is that mafia mod.. that'll rock. Just run into an enemy's bookies with my tommy gun n' pwn. OO, can't wait, lol...

HL2 is great, but it came out with pretty poor mp. HL2DM is good, but suffers from high weapon firing warping problems, and CSS has really messed up hitboxes. Very sad. The mods will entirely pwn HL2DM and CSS I say. Sure, CSS has pretty much the hype as the port of CS, the most sucessful mp game, but hype ain't everything, look at Halo2 eh? and like Halo2, the gameplay just doesn't feel as solid as the first, the original.

Personaly i despise CS and CSS...errr mainly cause of the inbred scum in my town and country who play it. Our version of the english chavs but with a lot higher steroid level and 5 tons of gold or at least cheaply gold lookin stuff driving their 300 series BMW`s from the 80`s and pickin of others cause we have longer hair or baggy pants and we ain`t wearing trainers all the time and we don`t shave our heads....sad

sorry got carried away there. :P but it`s Romania`s sad truth.

I can't believe that the bungie-ctf servers are dying. I only see one of eight up today. Before that, only one of the servers gave you the right ping. I want the bungie-ctf servers back.

They'd put them back if players:

1. Came back in larger numbers to the entire Halo MP system, not a lot of people play now
2. They had a lot of traffic, before the bungie servers usually had few people - most everyone went to private ones or some less-frequented by the idiots who usually abound in the bungie servers

Mard - BF2! So fun! I think I need more RAM, though. I have 512MB but lag like hell on that game =/

sadly, i must say, halo is losing its old sucess. Every game has lag right? Well, Halo makes lag affect things more than other games do. In Call of DUty for example, lag is nothing and the lag is much smalleer in Call of Duty. However, in halo gamers have to aim off of the target to hit it. SOmetimes, u have to aim way ahead of the target in the lagier servers.

The banning system is like awful. When u win or just yell "Booyah!" when u kill the host or hostess, ur banned! WOW!!!!!!!!!!! This game has got a ton worse. Thats also why i'm playing Runscape now, instead of Halo. Can Bungie reprogram it, stop the freakin exception data???? No, they refuse!

Halo needs more ppl thats it

Well, you can't really do much about the crappy admins... also, RUNESCAPE?! Jeez man, that'll wear off eventually, and you'll wonder how the -blam!- that game ever hooked you. Although, I do admit, that it IS fun while it lasts.

Heyyo,

Ok, runescape sucks. http://www.kalonline.com is better.

HECK, I'd rather play http://www.roseon.com/ more than runescape, lmao. :P

Sounds like you guys don;t have an X-BOX. If you don't you should get one. Halo CE is dead already. Halo 2 is a great game though. Don't get me wrong I still play Halo CE. But Halo 2 for X-BOX is fun too.

Hence the problem...NO BLOODY WAY AM I PAYING FOR ONLINE GAMING!
I pay 30$ for my internet conection as it is no way am i gona pay extra for Xbox live or for World of Warcraft of EQ2 or other such crap!

"Halo needs more ppl"...errr well halo had lots of ppl the thing is they got tired and pissed at the lag the horrible banning system,the lack of a AFK kick the fact that the game looks like a 2000 game and runs like a 2005/6 game ...not like anybody who could do somthing about it would!

and again to you iced evil killer,why would i bother playing a FPS or any game on a console? i and most ppl here can`t stand a controler @ a FPS.
And you can`t play MMORPG`s,RTS`s,RPG`s,RTT`s and Quests(Monkey Island :D) on a console so i wouldn`t get an xbox or PS whatever if you payed me.

Heyyo,

Lol, I'm sure you could play Monkey Island onna console (MST! dude! there's one theatre class that did a Monkey Island Show! check out the pics and view some of parts of the show here!!: http://www.worldofmi.com good to see a fellow MI lover!)

rts's work on console, but yeah, can't crank out the apm that you can onna PC. So think of it as yes you can play games onnit, but just not as EFFICIENTLY as a computer. That's how you get a console.

Now, if PS3 n' such had native keyboard & mouse support? I for one would be more likely to get the console as I wouldn't feel soo degrated.

and yes, if I had the choice to buy a console? I'd be a PS3. Bar none. No way I'm gonna support m$ for consoles after they bought out bungie and gave us a half-assed HaloPC. buggers.

But I seriously bet if they built HaloPC better it wouldn't be dying off soo fast. I bet Battlefield 2 will last for many years. BF42 is already outlasting HaloPC by nearly a 3x bigger online player count, I bet BF2 will be around for many-a-years indeed. Great weapon balance, incredible netcode, huge player counts, mp bot's that really rock... you name it? BF2's got it. I seriously hope you guys pick up this title to enjoy a true full quality Computer game with a damn goood company to back it up. ;)

"Now, if PS3 n' such had native keyboard & mouse support? I for one would be more likely to get the console as I wouldn't feel soo degrated."

Then why bother making consoles at all? with a PC you can do a lot more then with a console that has a keyboard and a mouse...ah i see...a console with a keyboard and a mouse would be like the low end PC that is set up only to run games and music and some movies and nothing more. No programing,no movie editing,no picture editing,no downloading,maybe e-mail. My point is that a console should stay a console and ppl should just wise up and get used to the fact that a PC is just smarter,it`s constantly upgadable and totaly versatile.People should also get it that PC users play games as much as console players and that we want games to not to be shut out.Oh and pirated software is in any dept. not just the PC has fake stuff. I`ve got a m8 with a PS2 that ain`t got one original game in his 100 or so stack so don`t gimme bull about loosing money.

Halo 2 was on emule,kazaa,DC++ and so on the week it was released.Doom 3 had about 50000 ilegal versions on the net the weekend before it`s official release heck S.O.A.D.`s albums were in another m8`s HDD 3 months before getting released.

BTW realy cool link man :D thanks

I do, and to be honest it doesn't feel like the classic Halo style. It's not as demanding for skill and tactics. I dunno, after 1 hour of multiplayer I feel like I've had enough, plus I walk away feeling angry and other emotions no one likes. It just seems the rating system, in addition to the general lot of a-holes on there, ruin it too.

Halo 2 Pc will be the nail in the coffin, though.

Such positive thinkin :P

Personaly i hope it`ll bring the world of Halo on the PC out of it`s current ruined state with less lag,better comunication posibilies and such.

If not then one of my favorite games with some of the best multiplayer features and stuff will just be left in that dusty corner of my room and it`s place will be taken by somthing that is just simply better....

*plays lots of crud till the releases of Halo 2 PC and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.*
