Hey Sawnose, I'm a long time Halo PC player, from about the release and I wanted to thank you personally for all this. The CE community is shrinking and shrinking but there's still lots of fun going on there. Keeping those patches alive means alot to me and probably to other users of the community.
If there was one thing I could ask, and I know it has been asked before, it would be to merge PC and CE together so that the players on CE learn about the possibilities of Custom Edition.
Anyway, Thanks again and hopefully we'll see you some day playing some of our custom maps!
You're welcome, and thanks for still playing! Incidentally, there were 76,000 unique players online in July, including 5500 first-timers! (based on cd-key)
Unfortunately, the original reasons for splitting off CE still hold - most importantly, that CE maps are language-neutral, and PC (including Campaign) maps are language-specific. The engine can only deal with one of those at a time, and it would be a huge amount of work to get both running in the same "game". Also various other things, like that the shader tweaks made for CE were never tested against the campaign and would probably have to be revised. Basically, we made the right decision to separate them.
