A slighty higher player limit would be good like 20 or 24, nothing huge, besides people with servers can choose the player limit.

The maps were designed with only 16 players in mind. They may not play well with more.

Perhaps make it easier for admin tools to be made? Look at CS:S, you can do all the basic stuff like kick and ban from the console with native commands, but you can install a plugin called "mani admin mod" that adds hundreds of new options, all controlled from an ingame menu.

Also, to the one ranting about anti cheat programs: one things, read the original EULA, there will be something in it like "we reserve the right to alter or add anything to this license agreement at any time with no forewarning", you agreed to that, so no complaining about license agreements. Anti cheat programs make games great.

An aim bot was created, and it does work. The problem is the lag. Because halo pc has such terrible lag, aimbots were hard to create because they aren't were they are are on your screen.

You could put 24-32 people in it, but the strategies wouldn't be the same. There would be different gameplay on each map because of a raised max players.

Still, I see your point, on BG 8v8 is enough, and with more people it might ruin the Halo type gameplay. So ok 16 max then, but anyways I really want a ranking system like on Halo xbo. Lets just discuss the ranking system now.

NO NO NO. so many games support 32 ppl at once, hell ive seen a server with 60. BG was made so much larger in halo 2, it would be a shame not to fill that space. lol, i just thought of the whole golden warthog/banshee thing. if that was in halo 2 pc, so many people would be having fun, the hummer warthog, running around, no gun, nvm, not a good idea.

I want:

1. Anticheat system
2. Linux dedicated servers
3. Decent netcode
4. Multifunctional server/dedicated server application which allows you to log massive amount of data (stats) as well as sort them out in many ways
5. Spectator mode
6. More options to custom games (foor example: respawn 0 sec, Magnums only).
7. Ability to use custom (own made) Emblems.

16: New vehicles i.e. ATV or drivable Pelican
17: Setting so you can see players name visable all the time.


Who was the idiot who posted #16? The ATV (Mongoose) was taken out of the game because they tried EVERYTHING to try and make it useful, but it didnt work. and #17? thats even dumber, not only would my screen be cluttered with screennames, but you would know where all your enemies are 24/7. and no auto-aim? THEY WOULD HAVE TO BUILD THE GAME FROM THE BOTTOM UP FOR THAT TO WORK WITH GAMEPLAY. that was even dumber.

What they should do is make suicider fixes, that is the best thing they should do to improve the game right now and the one at the top of my list. oh yeah, and lets not forget the E3 demo level either for campaign mode.

How about putting the FPS view back in for the passenger seat of the warthog, or at least make it an option for the player to enable. There is just something about that viewpoint that makes me scream "YEEEHAWWWW!!!" every time I ride shotgun.

What the heck, make it an option for the driver and gunner too.

I couldn't care less if it makes it harder to hit a target, I want it because I think its fun.

They wouldnt have to rebuild the game to take out auto aim. Its a value that can be decreased to 0 whenever they want. Auto aim on a pc is not needed.

1. Anticheat system
This would be good, but there would be the pople who would complain and beetch about it saying, "It invades my privacy!"

2. Linux dedicated servers
WTF? I hope you just didnt say that. I hope that *to some complaints from the peanut gallery* that the Dedicated Servers are going to be like what it was in Halo PC. Anyone could download a dedicated server and host. This means that You wont have all of your games hosted by bungie themselves and that you can choose your won servers. Linux? Pft, I hope that we don't "have to have" Linux to run a Ded. Server.

3. Decent netcode
The better the net code, the better multiplayer is. Period.

4. Multifunctional server/dedicated server application which allows you to log massive amount of data (stats) as well as sort them out in many ways
No, trust me here, no. Didn't you see the drama and antics by people on H2 Xbox with stand-bying and hacking? Alot of it was to just get a better rank and bragging rights. If you had ranks on PC, this would be a disaster, nay, an abomination. The game would be hacked within the first week, destroyed in a month.

5. Spectator mode
This would be fine, as long as they could not communicate with people *and could not be seen*

6. More options to custom games (foor example: respawn 0 sec, Magnums only).
There should be more options, as long as they weren't confusing and deep in menus.

7. Ability to use custom (own made) Emblems.
NO! NO! NO! Guess what? Almost everyone woudl be running around with dicks and tits on their arms *or worse <=(*

What I would like to see most in HALO 2 for PC is somekind of built in anti hacker guard. One thing I've noticed in the original Halo now is that there are a lot of people who hack the game, and will get into a game, get your I.P. address and hack your computer as well.

A MACINTOSH VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!

and a warn instead of ban. Have it so that if the server dude wants to ban you they are required to warn you. They must wait a certain amount of time before giveing you the second warning before you will be banned.

For example: I'm playing halo and I betray 2 ppl. The host goes to the command and clicks sv_warn(index, comment).

Image

There should be no ban command. I have been banned from 2 servers I think I was unfairly banned from. saidly I liked the servers. I think this system will be more far to ppl that accidently betray and then get banned or someone who uses language on a no language server and gets banned with out warning or nolage of the rule.

There should be bans however you need a good moderater looking over the game, so the can see if they are doing it on purpose or on accident, so they can choose to ban them so they can get rid of the tkers and not the people making addicental mistakes. But also there should a vote system for kicking and banning like in call of duty 2. So if there is a bad moderator people can vote to get rid of the tker.
