Subject: Would it be cool if CE was given something from Halo 3/Reach?

Warning: wall of text, skip to bottom for tl;dr

I mean, it would be really cool if we could change what type of armor we wore, or if we could enter theater mode. Especially since Halo PC users are really dedicated and have been playing the game for a long time.(except for the people who bought it just for the visual flair) I think that we deserve something. I mean, sure, Halo CE is fun, but, instead of updates that solve things that I have never experienced and most people never do, how bout a new map?
It would be really cool if we all got something besides a NAMEPLATE for playing the original Halo game. I think that we deserve more. I know that we have Halo Custom Edition, but barely anyone plays on that anymore. I really wish that we got the game improved a little. And don't flame me, I'm grateful for the updates that we get, but I just don't get the feeling that Bungie really pays attention to the CE community. If you play Halo 3 and Reach, you get an opportunity to play against Bungie employees, but in CE, plenty of people say they work for Bungie but they don't. I don't think Bungie plays CE anymore.
Also, most of the people who play CE and want an update like this don't want to go out and spend $400+ buying an Xbox360 Elite, controllers, Reach (60 bucks), and a live subscription card.

TL;DR: Bungie doesn't pay attention to us CE players anymore, we deserve more than a nameplate.
So, does anyone agree with me or am I just a troll?

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Well, we did get updates as recent as 2009. So we got something.

but it was just a security update or whatever, nothing that will make the game more fun at all.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Netcode (supports AI, Scripts, cinematic = awesome sauce)
Graphics + DX9, DX11 Tessellation
Custom Havok physics plz.
New tag definitions

These would be great for Halo 1 PC/CE...coming never.

Also, Microsoft has made it clear that no more Halo games for PC, because they suck and failed with Halo 2 Vista.

Bungie giving out nameplates for Halo 1 PC users is like saying "here we give you this thing for free after you pay money for console and game...hehehehehe, you might as well, because no more Halo PC games will be made. :P"

Yeah, er, the problem is that HPC has never actually received anything in an update apart from minor security fixes. The game is still full of bugs that could and should have been rectified. Even the patching program doesn't work properly on Vista (not sure about 7) without crashing.

Let's list a few:
1) Controller support should have been sorted out
2) Game frequently hangs during map loads. Always indoor maps for me, for some reason.
3) Patcher crashes on Vista.
4) Widescreen support.
5) Multiplayer text. How did they get this wrong exactly?
6) Implement the GameSpy 1.1 protocol properly. Not hard.
7) Pings don't work as you would expect. Least they updated the scoreboard style a bit in the first patch.
8) PCR was never updated to support more than 12 players. Again, how did they mess that up?
9) Missing a bunch of graphical elements. If the community managed to sort most of them out, why couldn't the actual devs?
10) Active camo.

I could probably go on all day.

They should have thrown in the two maps they didn't finish in time to ship (they did say they might show them off) and the balance tweaks they were going to release.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

I don't see a problem with Widescreen support, i play in widescreen and it's perfectly fine. Also, I had no problems with updating it on Vista, although maybe, because it was meant for older operating systems, maybe that's why it crashed on the latest OS.

It's not perfectly fine. Not only do you have to force the resolution through a shortcut, your field of view is messed up quite badly too.

Or maybe if we got a forge world :D I can't wait for someone to make a Halo Custom Edition Forge World

  • 09.13.2010 5:07 PM PDT

they should make an update that gives halo 1 graphics like halo 3/reach maybe a new biped with animations and new multiplayer features such as when u stick someone or snipe someone it should say you "stuck" or "sniped" someone cuz i hate that it only says kill instead of that. the biped should be just like the one in the cmt spv2 poa beta. maybe new maps if we're lucky. new flag skins. the scoreboard should look like halo 2 or 3 or even reach's i dont care. forge world would be aswesome with a theater mode so it'd be easier making machinima and should come up with new weapon skins so the sniper looks like halo 2/3/reach's and the assault rifle needs some minor skin changes along with all the other weapons. newer ai bipeds if that is possible because im tired of having marines look all like octagons and grunts look a little more weirder than in halo 2 and the elites, jackals, and hunters should look better than the ones in halo 2. maybe some better looking flood. and if even possible firefight. because i saw some firefight maps for halo ce and some people figured out how to sync ai into multiplayer but it still has some bugs. and like say u do something that would get u a medal in halo 2/3/reach such as sticking some a medal would appear when u do that. maybe a new ui while they're at it. and maybe getting to choose day or night except in indoor maps just like the cmt snow grove map. and how u want the map to look but it looks different to other people who r playing with u. such as chossing bloodgulch to look more like a snow map or how it is in reach. and for indoor maps having wall textures. i dont even think this would be an update but even if this was an update it would be almost impossible to do because of the "limitation" of halo's 7 year old pc engine. but bungie please help us halo ce fans!

"It doesn't matter what I say, since Halo is already more popular than god!" - Zero Punctuation, Halo 3 review

there is a MOD for a kind of Theater mode. however I don't think it would be worth the time for Bungie or 343.
however It would be nice.
I think we need to be ported onto GFWL!

I want a game that is Halo 3, or Halo Reach.

A Forge that has more features like Garry's Mod.

H3EK/HREK, that will allow real-time gameplay to test the map, and place objects correctly.

DX11 Graphics.

Theater mode which allows direct file conversion to wmv format.

Mod support. Mod support. Mod support.

I think we need source code, screw Microsoft, they don't know how to make a game that Halo on PC fans want. -__-
