Subject: :( no new Update

So it looks like its been a whole year and no new update. But We all know Bungie still loves us due to the recognition we got in Reach with our little medallion by our name. But other than that I just wanted to say thanks to Bungie and mostly Sawnose for the support through the years. I've been playing since 2004 and just wanted to thank them. The reason I made this was because people on Xfire were wondering about an update. but who knows maybe Sawnose has something prepared for us.

What needs to be updated?

Idk I think i just like seeing that Icon when it says searching for update... and than it finds one.

But I like it how he put it so the message bar says something new.

If anything, it'd be nice to see the source for Halo 1, and have the original editing tools to allow even more, better custom content.

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

Then we wouldn't need Halo 2 Vista, Halo 3/ODST/Reach at all, they'd be redundant. :D
And then Microsoft can go blam! themselves. :D

The day the source code is (legally) released to the public is the day that my social life ends. Seriously, the community would dish out so much stuff that I'd probably never have to play another game again.

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

The only thing that really could be updated is the dedi server, to prevent against crashing. And there are patches against the private server crash apps (that DO exist for 1.09), like Gandanur.

As for the source, it might happen, but MS usually doesn't give out source for games and crap. They DO give out source for some of their products (shared source as they call it) to encourage development for Windows, but they don't release everything.

MS also hasn't offically opened up the xbox to homebrew, and they probably won't either.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

This.

It'd be nice if the old netcode were put back in. You know, the one from the beta where 56kers couldn't play but it ran nice.

But then teh emulator authors would be able to fix it to run Halo 2 Xbox, so that can't happen. xD

It seems stupid for a company to keep hold of what they don't care about anymore.

SO BLAMMING! STOOPID!" -_-

Not really. I've just accepted that the game is what it is. The only reason I see M$ updating the game at this point would be to counter server attacks/denial of service attacks.

Gearbox's original netcode won't see the light of day because the game was sold to allow crap connections, and continues to be sold, so that could open M$ up to legal problems if changed. I think that the HPC netcode is unique and makes the game sorta interesting and more challenging. It would be weird to change it after all this time.

  • 11.30.2010 2:09 PM PDT

I dont want the code changed i just think we should have the rights to the Source code. Yes bungiie i said it. I know you hate when i bring it up heck you ban me everytime. but come on I think M$ should give it to us.

Okay, why is everyone asking for the source code? There are games decades older than Halo, and the source code for them hasn't been released. You guys are talking like a company releasing source code for their games is some sort of common occurance, when in fact, it almost never happens.

idk, we let our imaginations run wild, but the coming back down to earth bit is, knowing Microsoft will never release source code. :'(

The only company I know that releases source is ID software. No one else does it.
