Well I'm finally going to address this issue. As i made in reference to my post here: thread. I feel that this forum is out of place. It seems all we can talk about anymore is boring PC tech. help and people coming who know nothing about Halo asking whether or not Halo 2 will come out on PC or not.

I believe its up to the job of the forum regulars to meet the needs of this forum, I've come to understand in the past few days that there truly was a golden age for Halo PC, when it first came out there were plenty of front page topics on it, the HEK was announced, guides were made, and there's no reason to abandon those times were people truly cared about this game. Anyways all I'm saying is that I think we should all stop complaining about the lag, the fuel rod gun, hackers, and other things that annoy or bug us. Sure, there's always going to be people with a comp. problem that needs fixing, and they feel like we're the ones to help them, but I can understand that, a message to all the new people: we understand you're new and you won't know or understand as much as everyone else and there's no reason not to reply to your queries.

Anyways, to start us off here's a neat Halo PC guide I find lurking in the Bungie.net metanet: Halo PC Guide Vol. 1 I'm not sure if there's a volume 2 or not but look up some of the older Halo PC news topics and you'll realise that this game really used to be the new Halo 2. And it's unfortunate there's no one here from that time, but we still must try and bring back that magic. So as a Halo PC community I know we can do it!

Yo no disrespect but Halo is old now. There are other games that are coming out like BF2 and Halflife2 and counter strike-source.The games is old because microsoft and bungie didnt want to give us cool updates and stuff. All they gave us was Halo Ce which no one plays and sercity updates which none of us care about.

I missed the golden age by a few years and yet I yearn for it even though I didn’t experience it. Back then there probably weren’t all these mods in servers which lag it bad, there wasn’t as much lag (when I first joined I had barely any lag, even though I have dial-up), and it was fun.

Zoom to today, every game I join I get lagged out, there is a plethora of modded things (in Halo PC), and people are jack azzez. There aren’t enough of the fun people to make the game fun.

What happened to that beautiful golden age?

you all realize that if they release Halo 2 PC, we'll all be enchanted and fascinated again, and you'll have another awesome Halo game to play on pc.

Contrary to what others say, it really is an awesome game, Halo 2. It could really rock the pc market.

That being said, look to what vectorracer said: play future games, get into them....

ya it's really sad what has happened to Halo PC in its old age. It now has to be spoon fed semi-solids, and currently resides in a cantankerously cranky old folks' home. And let's not get started on it's weekly "bowling" trips.

Anyways I really do think that by trying to make threads concerning the game, and not just it's faults, we could really boost the community, at least make it better in The Maw. And maybe, just maybe, relive some of Halo PC's glory days.

P.S Did you upgrade ur comp. sexy legs, or are you just putting up your old specs. now?

Heyyo,

Yes, the good days of HaloPC are dead. Back when it started, people actually used the chat system to ask for help getting a flag n' such, and no one really used the fuel rod gun, sniper, and lots of skilled kills... now it's the complete opposite. Halo's gone a long way.. definately inna bad direction though....

I dunno, I think HaloPC's been soo scewered nowadays that all we have left is complaining of the probs, and hoping IF Halo2pc even happens, that it turns out better. Yep.

Well i started playing halo about 2 years ago but i didn`t exactly have the very original version so no netplay.I tossed that crap and bought the original last summer.Back then lag was not a real problem and i even had a crap netconnection with a joke for bandwidth yet the game went fine on the EU-BUNGIE serves(wich i don`t even see anymore)...Had realy fun playing it and it`s one of the first games to put teamplay as a high priority in such a manner.I don`t know if those were the golden days but they were ok.The forum wasn`t so dull and threads getting killed for being off-topic or other such garbadge.The mods wern`t so "strict"(to keep it nice and not get banned yet) and actualy were helpfull...rofl.
Been fun back in the day...errr a year ago... :)
I`m not giving up on Halo Pc yet cause i`m waiting for RDSlink to gimme more bandwidth...as if that would be the real problem...have you guys seen as how another patch came out the game got worse?

As for moving on to new games...well i played and finished Doom 3(utter crap),Half life 2(brilliant but the MP is nowere near Halo),all of the Call of Duty PC releases(great games and yet the MP is still not even close to that of Halo)...See Halo gave me a feeling being part of a team and doing it for the team...just like all sort of the edge situations like i`m up top with the flag in Death Island and no way to get the flag down so i write wasting time and posibly dying but i told the team to catch :)...i threw it to the balcony bellow to a m8 and we scored. :) it`s stuff like this that made Halo rock.

There are 3 things that could be done to pull the Halo universe on the PC out of the crapper 2 of wich are necesary in any way and yet doing all 3 would be best.

1. FIX THE BLOODY LAG IN HALO 1 PC
2. FIX THE FORUM
3. RELEASE HALO 2 FOR THE PC

Aaaanyway thats my word on the whole matter.
I`ll be around :) later guys.

well with Sketch's recent sticky on the situation of Halo 2 PC I fear that it may never come out, unless Bungie's going to surprise us PC players. Anyways I'll still continue playing campaign, but other than going to my clan's DS I won't be going online a lot more. The games & the people in them have really gone down hill.

oh well...there's always some grunts left to be killen'.

I was in the Halo Xbox golden days and just got HaloPC two weeks ago. I would love some guidelines and things like that for help. I try and try to dig up old tutorial videos and things but I find nothing. :( If you'd like we can play HaloPC. I'm usually on as [RPC]«£ríc». On Halo Custom Edition, the same but sometimes also known as "-¦-". I'd love to play. I'm seen usually on my clan server. I still love this game and am glad there are still usually 40 pages average of servers.

EDIT: I sent you (topic poster) an Xfire friend request.
EDIT2: Anyone who wants to join my clan play frequently on our servers. We're on a lot and feature mostly older people. (30-45). I myself am 13 and there are other teenagers in the clan too. My clan is very active in HaloPC and some of the clan play CS:Source, BF2Demo, and Half-Life2 and HL2: DM. We go to HaloCE sometimes too, custom maps are a good break from the slight repitvity.

i wish i could have been there 2 years ago.... ever since ive bought this amazing game the forums havent left me much to work with and the online games have been going to hell everytime i try to join another game insteadof hosting my clans recruit server i see dirty servers. very dirty servers. and everytime im like wtf? this game wasnt meant for that and i dont think bungie intended it for that i mean why hasnt anyone tried to do anything about and the servers are full to ive always had lag since i bought it 5 months ago and i lag even when i host i think the servers have gotten so bad i always host now unless were going to kw cause i mean i dont have to see that -blam!- on my computer and when one of those people get in my server no offense but i outright ban them there is no f**cking way im gonna let those perverted b*****s dirty my server up. and another thing this server has hit rock bottom. now all i see is whining whining and more whining. plus the flame wars and the mod corruption(which happens in every forum). this forum could be something great if only people would stop whining and started working on this forum and made it more about the game than about stupid questions and one final thing if you guys ever want to play me my xfire is grimreaper01919 my halo name is [{ff}]true5 and my server is almost always at the top of the blood gulch listings the server name is {[ff]} tryouts all welcome
