Anybody know what happened to the US Bungie Servers, cant find them and I cant connect via ip address? I can find the EU-BUNGIE servers but .... higher ping then I can stand.

I was wondering the exact same thing. They all seem to have dissappeared. Does this mean Bungie is done with Halo PC? Pulling all support and yanking the servers offline?

Oh well Thanks, just confirms that either no one cares or that no one knows.

I care because the bungie servers were the only ones that were reliably any good. Bungie is giving us the brush off. I would guess that the cost was getting up to where they might have started to loose money off Halo PC and so they figured it was time to let the game stand or fall on its own. Since they aren't going to add any features or fix any of the exploits in the game it looks to me like its just gonna continue withering. It's too bad because the private server operators do what they do and either make the game unfun by overpopulating the maps with vehicles or changing the game type in the map rotation. I have been banned from several servers for telling the ops that their server stinks. It kinda works out for me though, that way I don't accidently wander back into their crappy server ever again.

Aw, guess it's time for everyone to convert to Custom Edition. :D I've had good luck finding servers that run, new, interesting game types, even on standard maps. Check out "HBO's Coerce" and "EP's third Server." They're all relatively decent, at least from my location. In any case, what I'm really trying to say is that Halo PC has been dead in the water for quite some time now; for months. People who have been into Halo Custom Edition have known that pretty much since CE was released. At least with Halo Custom Edition there is a possibility of future content updates if people stick with it.

If enough people start playing CE, we get support, if we get support, more public servers open up, if more public servers open up, you have a more satisfying Halo experience because of all these things. ;)

I think its about time Bungie put up some dedicated servers and official support for Halo CE.

*Waves lone banner* Fight CE!

I just cannot stand the lag.

A more satisfying Halo experience would be like the XBOX version -- no lag or slowdown.
