Just PM Frankie. He'll probably reply. I'd love to play them, but I'm sure everyone fears the wrath of Achronos.


even if he does reply its not a guaranteed answer of yes is it, afterall Bungie doesnt care about halo pc anymore they left it.... i would be suprised if this does happen. Just hopes

this could be awsome. im guessing bungie would host the games, since they probably have like a pair of t3s or something. I think that we should make another thread where *if bungie agrees* that we could sign up to play. then a few days before the match there should be try-outs so that we dont get any tkers or really bad players.

Yes, great ideas, tryouts would be good. I don't really care about how good the people who play are (no I don't terribly suck myself) just I don't want to accidentaly accept a TKer who wanted in on this game to piss of the most important people: Bungie. They're just the kind of jerks, who'd go up to their jerk friends and brag about how they TKd a guy from Bungie and couldn't even do anything about it. Just in case I'm sure either Bungie or us will get rcon control and be able to either kick/ban people who start TKing, either that or make a very harsh auto-ban (something like 2 kills if it's only a normal slayer or CTF).

Oh and Bungie should defenitely try and run the game, as most of us (*cough* me *cough*) have pretty bad internet, I really can't host more than 4 people in any game.

I went to bungie HQ and asked every amployee if they want to play you in Halo PC.They all said no.Even Frankie.


What??? Do you work there? Bungie is busy with Halo 3 I guess or something else... I would love to play them though...

well, we also dont want any super-dudes(dudets) who cant even aim at a target right in front of them either. and jman youre lucky, i barely can host myself sometimes...

since bungie goes with 3 games, how about have bungie chose three of these:
Pro Team Slayer
Assault CTF
Team Oddball
Team Race
Team Crazy King
FFA Slayer

but they can make up their own.

well, those general gametypes, yes. But as it's a rare occasion, and games in Halo PC can be set up with detailed settings then the actual gametypes we play can be unique and interesting. See: invisble ball carrier anyone?

P.S no word yet from Frankie, if there's no answer by the time I get home tommorrow, then I'll resend the email, to a slightly different email address (because I've seen two versions of it now) and I'll make an additional post at halo.bungie.org, as I know Frankie frequents their forum.

-jman571 (where's that damn email!.....*grumble*...)

Wow....Have you guy's even practiced yet? You have to think, if they accept your challenge, you probably won't have much time to practice. Get on it people!!!

I would like to take part, but my schedule is kind of crazy. Although I am pretty good as well, and would make a good person to practice with. I play every night around 7:00, mountain standard time.

I say we should get enough people to assemble two teams. The best players play Bungie, but this way we have enough people to practice properly.

I guess the first step would be to set up a server for us all to play on. My pc won't support more than six people without lag, so does somebody here have a server that can support at least ten people? If so great. Post here the detail's, set up a password, and distribute the password via pm or xfire to certain people.

Hope this helps jumpstart you guys into doing something. I think Bungie will be very surprised at the skill levels still circulating in Halo 1 online.

Good luck and let me know how I can help.

okay so....still no reply :(

I'm now going to resend the email to a slightly different email address that may in fact be a correct one. The weird thing is the old email was sent, I'm almost sure of it, because I checked the HTML version and it looks like the time recieved was PST, as well, I didn't get an email saying the email failed to send. So I'm going to send the email, and ask if he read the original one. I really don't see why he wouldn't respond. Does everyone think the title Humpday Challenge- back to Halo PC? is a good subject line?

-jman571...still waiting for a reply........


EDIT: ok so I emailed Frankie with a slight change to the email address and so now I'm hoping for a quick reply. I think the discrepancy between the two email addresses I had was the fact that Bungie moved offices, and I think Frankie might've changed email address as well.

So, I think we should really get down to business, find out the time zones of people who are going to play, and set up a server to practice and see each other's skill levels. I doubt I can host, I have no idea how good my internet is in comparison to that of all of you guys. I live in VA, so my time zone would be Eastern Standard Time. If they're going to answer soon, I really think we should start moving. And people, get xfire if you don't have it (most of you do)

hmmm I live in Toronto, Canada same time zone as New York. it's GMT -5, Eastern Time.
Oh and boys, looks like we've got some support:
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=5623460
awesome, I'm not sure if he saw our little thread or not, but this means that we'll have attention in 2 forums. Maybe either Sketch or Frankie will notice these posts. Also, I've decided that if this amount of attention continues I'm going to make a post over at halo.bungie.org as I know Frankie and several bungie employees (now including Shiska once again) frequent their forums.

Just do it on a Bungie server. Try to group together and connect through x-fire. There are plenty of empty Bungie servers around the clock. This seems the most logical, unless one of those tking -blam!-s shows up.

Me and my buddy can help with the practicing. We will need several more people than what will be on the team. p1i2z3z4a5 and jman should be the top dog's on choosing the team, since they are doing most of the footwork on making this possible.

Hey p1i2z3z4a5, congrats on the idea. Seems you sparked some interest in more than one forum.
