to Tempus Irae and Dr Syx: the great thing about Halo PC multiplayer there are many servers. You don't have to like every one. I have three or four that I will play. The rest are there for whomever likes them. Time to give up and stop bashing other peoples work. Start your own server and shut up.

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.

Some rename this thread to "Lamb Chop's Play Along", because there sure are a lot of sock puppets in here.

LMAO!

Anyhow, Hozerdude2 you came in here to try to promote the server and you pretty much achieved the opposite. The "sock puppetry" added to the comedic value of the thread but your credibility suffered a devastating blow. I believe Tempus was biased going in so his evaluation is probably a little harsh.

I'm going to give it a try tonight with an open mind. Here are the things I will be looking at:

The speed mod - I'm actually OK with Halo's speed but it could use a very small boost. I have a feeling it will be too much for my liking but I'll keep an open mind.

Marked teleporters - This has always been the biggest turn off for modded servers. The ppl that know where the ports are usually have a significant advantage over the ones that don't.

Tanks, banshees and many heavies - These tend to dominate the strategy when they are present. The team with the most camps the team that doesn't.

The AFK kick - I want to see it work. I wish Oxide would make it public so as many server admins as possible could implement it, but if he charged you for it then he probably wouldn't.

Auto-balance - I think this would bother anyone who gets switched against their will. also, you can have 8 on 8 and it be very unbalanced skill-wise.

Spawn, port and flag camping - I lot of ppl like to call this "map control", and in a competitive game it is. But there is no more competitive HaloPC, so it now just an excuse for noobs to pad their score.

I'll let you know what I find.

I did say to myself before I went in that I would have an open mind.

Agreed. The only two things I can ever find is either modded servers that make Halo into the worst excuse for a FPS multiplayer I've ever seen or a great gametype with tons of people who think their -blam!- doesn't stink. Earlier I actually found a game that had respectable people AND a great gametype that matched the maps perfectly. The first time in years I've found a game that showed how great this game can be.

Then why don't you make one that doesn't? Go ahead and create one that fixes what you think needs fixing and doesn't break anything. All the tools you need are there, just do it. I am tired of hearing those that can't or won't do bashing those that try. Is it perfect? By no means but it is a no hold barred server with all the weapons you need. It never claimed to be the best thing since sliced bread. Just place to have to fun.

This -blam!- is funny!

Anyway I did give it a go for about 5-6 maps.

Speed - IMO too fast. Near vehicle speed which makes the following obsolete:

Pistol and sniper: near impossible to nail down the lead.

Hogs and ghosts: You can run almost as fast so why bother.

The only useful vehicles are shees and tanks, the best option is heavy on foot.


The ports are marked clearly with three med packs. Typically, the port take you up the the top of map with some powerups and vehicles, or halfway across the map for quick getaways with the flag. Would take time to learn kinda like Chiron TL-34.

Typical modded server in that there are tons of vehicles and heavies strew about. The maps are balanced in that each side has all this in the same place. The shades seem to be there to make sure that tanks and shees can be controlled because they are two shot kills on anything.

The AFK kick seems to work. It didn't when I tested but they said sidewinder was glitched and it doesn't work there, but it looks like it worked on other players on other maps. It would have been nice if this mod was sent to Sawnose years ago, he may have been able to sneak it into one of the updates.

Auto-balance when it activated worked by switching players if there was a difference of two or more. Interestingly, this revealed the most damaging evidence. When the auto-balance activated one of the {BB} guys got switched. He immediately switched back and the other that got switched quit, another joined and we were right back to 6 on 3. Then the {BB} guys started asking players to switch and even the teams! So they weren't really interested in balancing the teams. They wanted to stay on the side that was consistently winning 5-0, the side that had the players that knew exactly where the ports were and the best way to cap the flag. In addition, after capping a flag or winning a match they would say "All too easy". Seriously?! You think your a badass for winning against a team that does not know the ports as well as you?! Pathetic.

I owe Tempus an apology. Sorry dude!

Oh, no offense was ever taken ;)

Also, I'm pretty sure that the "all 2 easy" thing is some sort of macro that makes a player who just scored say that.

The reason we're "bashing" is due to you (or if I may tickle your fantasy of us believing in your sock puppets, "HOZERDUDE2") coming in here and reacting like a complete ass to every suggestion we gave. In short, he really asked for it.

Also, the reason I personally don't have a server is due to the fact I couldn't get one running properly with this computer/Internet. I would possibly consider paying for a server if Halo PC was still in its prime. Things are far too dead in the Halo Community for me to even consider dropping money into a dedicated server.

If you're getting more players, it's sure as hell not from here. This place is dead.

Funniest thing about a bunch of mods on the server that make it a noobfest?

MODS? Yes but no nOOb Crap mods!!

Hilarity.

This will be my last post on the bashing issue...............

We really appreciate the bashing of or server. We have received a few new user's and have downloaded the new maps and Teamspeak. So we can thank you for that. Like the old say'n "there is no such thing as bad press!" we thank you for that. If you dont like the server thats fine. Its like a TV show. If you don't like what your watching you don't whine about it you just change the channel "its just that simple!" I have been on a few "SNIPER ONLY" server's. They have 1 shot 1 kill servers. I did not like them. But I did not come on Bungie and whine and cry about it. I just moved on. No BFD!! I did not see any post from user's bashing them lol.

I got the impression that a few of you have got on the BASHING WAGON to show the world how tough you are hehehe that's kinda sad and did not even check out the server on your own. Well that was lame. Criticizing without if knowing wtf was going on. lol. Some of you did not read the very first post that tells you what is going on.

Look its just this simple. Dont like the server? dont act like cry baby and whine about it just move on. NO BIG DEAL!!

Here are the facts about our server.

The mods on this server are balanced so no team has an advantage over the other. Each team has the same portals, weapons, vehicles and powerups on each team.

01. Added more ammo amounts to most weapons ( More Than Stock Servers )

02. Added More portals for better game play ( More Than Stock Servers )

A. There has been some whining out the portals. Did not know where the went. We all had to the learn the portals. NO BFD!
All you have to do is go thru them to find where they go! It's not rocket science.

03. You can sprint faster ( Faster Than Stock Servers Halo is just to damn slow when sprinting. )

04. Added More Banshee's ( More Than Stock Servers )

05. No Need to Download Special Maps!. We are server friendly! ( except for the custom maps )

06. We found 7 Halo 3 maps that we're converted to halo 1. The reason we decided to put on the custom maps on our server is because after 8 years playing the same damn maps over and over and over again for 8 years it got boring and Bungie has refused to make any new maps for Halo 1. Hardly anybody plays Halo custom edition. So we have the best of both worlds on 1 server. So that is why we put on the custom maps
on our server. And yes you will get and exception error if you dont have the maps. That is expected if you run custom maps.

07. We run a modded server script called Phasor that Oxide made. It allows us to do the following:

A. To Have Welcome messages when a user logs on the server and add more info IE: "Look for 3 health paks they are portals"

B. We have server info that pops up every 8 mins. ( 3 times in our 30 min per game server )

c. End of game messages.

D. Better admin commands. IE: speed up the sprinting like in Quake, Tribes and UT3 and other's. Halo Sprinting is just too slow.

E. Auto Kick AFK'ers. We only turn it on when the server if full. No need to do it when there its not full.

F. We have logs for the server. People that are admins know how important it is to have logs. Example: If you need to ban a user because they are being an jerks and creating hate and discontent and they leave before you can ban them, Thats where the logs come in.
The admin can goto the logs look up the user "WITH" his hash codes and add the user to the ban list "WITHOUT" the user being on the server.

G. The admin can switch user's from one team to another.

H. Our server will automatically even up the teams every 8 mins. So the admin does not have to babysit the server.

08. We will not tolerate ARSEHOLES or RACISTS remarks PERIOD on our server PERIOD. We have 4 admins on our server and you will be KICKED or Banned "WITHOUT WARNING" Cursing is allowed on our server but only at a minimum.

09. We have a free Teamspeak server for our user's. It is fantastic for team interaction. To help each other get the flag and or need coverage while capping the flag. This is a big advantage over the other team. That's how we win alot of our games because of Teamspeak. All are welcomed to join us on Teamspeak. User's can Download Teamspeak and how to setup Teamspeak on our webpage.

10. We are a CTF server only.

11. We have a weapon cache area in most of the maps. Both teams goto the same place thru their portals. There can be some big fights just trying to get some more weapons. It can be hell trying to get to them. lol

Now thats pretty much it how our server is setup. If you want to check it out that's fine. Don't like how the server is setup? that's kool too. And if you wish to continue to bash the server that's fine too. We could use more user's!

Like I Said Before...."There is no such thing as bad press!" lol

So I see no reason to continue this issue on the bashing of the server.


..............END OF DICISSION............

05. No Need to Download Special Maps!. We are server friendly! ( except for the custom maps )

But you do need to download special maps, so number 5 makes no sense.

  • 07.08.2011 9:25 AM PDT

Here's an idea. From now on, we just stop posting here, and let him play with his sock puppets by his self. If he bumps it, we mass report the post. If he doesn't bump it, this steaming pile of crap thread dies, and that's that.

=================================

Not completely true!

1. Yes you do have to download the custom "IF" you want to play them.

2. Yes you will get exception errors if you dont have the maps.

3. However you can play 14 games of the regular maps before you
the custom maps come up in the rotation.

4. So you don't have to have the custom maps if you dont want them and play the same ol maps over and over and over again.

The numbering of those sentences made absolutely no sense. Should have just typed it out regularly.

If a server has a map that will kick you for not having it, it is not joiner friendly. The entire point of things being joiner friendly is that anyone can join the server and play on it whether or not they have the mods you have. If even one map requires you to download the mod, it's not joiner friendly. (By the way, this isn't meant to be a bash. Just telling you what joiner friendly actually means)

The Valve games and early Call of Duty games (1-4. Not sure if any of the ones past those have this feature or not) are completely joiner friendly with all mods even if they are total conversions due to an in-game downloading mechanism for mods. Another point as how Halo PC was also a console game in PC clothing... (Sorry, completely different topic. :P)
