Subject: Halo PC memories thread.

Originally Scope_n_kill, member since 12.12.2004. Don;t believe me, check out my xfire profile! Joined xfire the same day.

Xfire me: kestrel111. I often forget to turn it on. Real life functions often keep me from playing.

Having been playing Halo PC, virtually from its release date, I have far too many great memories. But the best is all the friends I have made through the years of Halo PC/CE playing, and to this date, 8 years later, I still game and teamspeak with many of them.

Iggwilv hit it on the head though,
1. These forums when I first started playing. Self-moderated, helpful, small community of nice, knowledgeable people.
That is by far the best reason. Though I have not visited these forums in a while, I used to avidly participate, beginning in 2005 (not 2009 like my profile says, I unfortunately didn't do something to stop my account from being reset when they changed the forums), and I have always found these forums to be a great place.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

So many memories...

The official Bungie dedicated servers were a lot of fun and at times very frustrating, which made them at least dramatic.

The whole ME=KING era...and then J PHD Ringo posing as TK Police and me as TK Police2. Good times. It got funny when people starting figuring out the direct IP trick to avoid the auto ban.

Me and Static getting on top of the maps and doing silly stuff to piss people off...fun.

Wall jumping on DC...a lot when I shouldn't have been. :)

Playing Halo for the first time on an unfinished Mac pirate version in 2003. I was blown away. For someone who first started PC gaming in the late 1980s, it was a revolution.

And then the aimbot era of 2006- to the present. That ruined the fun and I become very bitter that Bungie didn't care at all about it but had the time to make stupid excuses, such as that it would be a neverending patch upon patch process. Whatever Bungie, you suck. And the best part of course was that Bungie didn't even really make Halo, at least not this Bungie that we call Bungie today. After M$ bought "Bungie" the existing employees remade the game for Xbox and skipped town with bags of cash. The current Bungie's first real game was Halo 2, and we know how that turned out.

Gearbox. What a studio. They weren't perfect, but they are the real heroes of Halo PC and Custom Edition.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

The old Maw gatherings how we would have a thread for each gathering to talk trash.

The word "noob" being against Bungie's forum rules but everyone in the Maw using it anyway.

The whole self moderated community we have here.

Joined late, but managed to participate in the only time I've seen a game end in a draw due to 2 kills somehow at the exact same instant.

Also wow I joined a little late but looking through screenshots I played a lot in the maw and tui servers, and afterwards spent a significant amount of time in the hmc, BD, and B2B clan servers, among a ton of pub servers I used to have saved, all of which seem to be gone now.
