Anyway I was going over the list and it looks like we have gotten confirmation on numbers 3 (built in Buddy list) and 9 (New Maps) but number 8 (greater then 16 players on-line) has been shot down.

Ok here is the deal this is what i want in Halo 2 for the PC.
1.The first thing is retroactivity, that all maps all weapons possibly even teh campain be kept from halo 1, As a multilayer option you can play with Classic Weapons, or choose a Classic Map, whether or not Bungie reskins the old maps and weapons is up to them, but i would love to see the old maps, something that Halo 2 for the Xbox lost.
2. Everyone is talking about all these modding your own maps and skins and whatever, this is all great but i fear for jedi academy syndrom, i dont know who has played it but so many noobs with soo many hacks and exploits in all the maps and such its no fun, unless you enjoy that, So i think as a multiplayer joining option there woluld be Bungie Cetified, and Open, the open would include all external maps of anykind, modding whether weapons vechiles or characters, and anyother gameplay modifications
3. As good as the optimatch setup is i enjoy the scroll and go style of the Orginal Halo, i totttaly agree though that you need to add map favorits, a searcher, where you can type the name of servers or player, ips and the like, and a clan server option, where the servers of your clan, or a rival clan via invite are only shown.
4. Another very importaint thing is Making Halo 2 better, Halo for PC is much better with much cooler maps and weapons than Halo 1 for Xbox, i dont want to see Halo 2 just made for mouse and keyboard....
5. Finally bots i know he said it before but bots are totally neccesary, i have gone a week with no internet and have cried due to the lack of bots, something i really wish they had.
5.Finally a larger choice of weapon scheme, Perfect dark is a great example. All levels have 10 i think spawn points for weapons, and in game options you choose 5 weapons, with the number corresponding to spawn points, so you if want snipers on teh top of a building, and shotguns inside its tottaly duable, and you can have more than 2 weapons, also a random weapon respawn, ie the weapons spawn normally but as different weapoons each time, unlike a random set random weapons.
That is all just what i could add to the orginal

Hmm, probably not, nah, maybe, they probably will add more maps and weapons like the fuel rod cannon, no bots, and I'm all for it.

In that order.

Ya i dont think they will have bots, and the likely hood of them being great in large battles inst that good, but for thousands of peeps who have JUNO and AOL single player is the option, mabye a singleplayer only option, even if they used the bot scripts from campain, imagine playing a fun blood gulch map with one hunter vs 14 grunts lol, slaughter

Dude, stop comparing CMT to H2 PC. They're two totally different things. Anyways, it probably will be optimized for PC gaming with anti-aliasing, antisotropic filtering and whatnot, so it won't be such a system whore like HPC was.

"21) You should have to hit a button to pick up and return the flag. You don't know how frustrating it is to have one guy to kill to get away with the flag and you get smoked because you kept picking up the flag instead of filling him with holes. GRrrrrr..."

This is already in Halo 2 on the Xbox, so I would be surprised it it werent in the PC version.

in what part of that post did i compare CMT to Halo 2?


yeah kim, chill


Ummm MasterKim, acutually tehre will be NO Anti-Aliasing, remember what gearbox said, they said something about the game code running through a sort of buffer, where Anti_Aliasing, runs through, so they couldn't enable Anti-Aliasing or something, probably will be the same for Halo 2 PC, but who knows, Bungie has a massive part in the port this time around, so maybe there going to rewrite part of the game code for it, or something. They still have months and months with a full team to work on it, remember, they hired more people just to port the game.

Igg, this needs to be added:

36) More room for text chat. It's very annoying to be in the middle of typing something only to find that you've run out of space.

That's true, but not so much room that you can't see anything else on screen.

not necessarily. I mean, I only type like "hog incoming!" or "incoming tunnnels/foot" or something, I try to keep it short, unless you want to type "we've got an UDO (unidentified driving object) vecter 2-3-0 200 meters away take aim and get ready!"

It's not that the Library is a bad level per se, but its repetitive level design and gameplay is what makes it boring after you fight the first wave of Flood.

I am talking about H2 PC, of course. Halo 2 and Combat Evolved are two very different games.

A text chat filter would be nice also. I try to not play Halo online when my mom's around, because she would probably have a heart attack if she saw the stuff people say online.
