The executable is looking for a file that isn't on your hdd, and is on the cd, so you need the cd. Just put the file some place where the exe can find it and there ya go.

Umm, im kind of scared. Too many things are still ambiguous, and i see a lot of "user friendly" schpeil. I'm one of the few really, really dedicated and talented modders, and i don't want anything different from what the actual Bungie programmers/devs used, aside for updates and other text telling me the changes from this editor to the last. I don't want anything dumbed down, i want single player level creation, i want every single asset in this game available for my maps and mods. this isn't asking for much, we basically have it all already on a compressed version stored on an xbox disc when we buy the game. I really, really really will be quite saddened if the microsoft people just go "tough noogies, pound sand" if they dont want to debug the vast amount of sp content in the game, which really is MOST of the game from the tech standpoint.

Once again, ever since the announcement of the new HEK, im still cold and shivering in the winter--waiting at the window of Pi pondering the question of if they'll dull down or leave parts of the game in the dust. Don't let us down guys, especially not on something so dear to me and others as halo! Not this time!

*still has a small grudge against microsoft for the 56k support crap-move on the Halo netcode to get more customers when gbx already had STABLE and FUNCTIONAL netcode worked out already*

Iggliv, can you please add an 'antispam' function in the main list (on page one).

Basically something that stops people from spamming text chat, i.e.

Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Player: STFU noob
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another player: ffs
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot: I PWN JOO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You get the idea. Simple something which stops someone from posting so many messages in a row, or time frame.

OK I edited the list adding if the idea has been confirmed or shotdown. Also made the most popular requests in bold. Keep 'em coming!

Lag warner. If you have a bad connection, the game tells you that you have a bad connection.
-EDIT- And everyone else, as well.

How about release Halo 2 for Windows XP, so you don't need a super computer just to run Windows!

-Off Topic- Suggestion please, don't make the ninjas lock this HUGE thread.

-On Topic- {ADMIN} tags. Halo monitors who is logged in as an admin (using rcon or w/ever), and automatically applies {ADMIN} before their name.
Increased profile name length.

All the posted ideas are good, I won't bother to re-cap.

I will throw in my support for the Race type. I belong to a clan (Assassins of the Damned) that is dedicated to Halo Race (although some of us play other mods too), and we would be lost if we couldn't play our favorite mod.
With that in mind, being able to turn vehicle destructability on and off would be a really good feature.

Server Lobby. It would be nice if there could be a step between the server lists, and being in the game, where there was a sever specific lobby, where it's Admins can post server rules, game configurations, map listings, website links etc, with buttons to go ahead and join the server, or go back to the listings.

Differentiated in game text, between All, Team, and Vehicle chat.

Third person view for the passenger in a warthog. 1st person is nausiating, and virtually useless for aiming. Also being able to turn around in the passenger seat. When was the last time you saw a chase scene in a movie, where the guy riding shotgun didn't/couldn't shoot at whoever was following them???

I love racing on the AD servers! In order to bring back the race gametype they would have to make the vehicles indescructable, which maybe why it was removed from Halo2. Nice idea on the Lobby, others have suggested being able to see info before joining but no one has suggested an separate area.

Yes, no, yes, no, hell no.

About online co-op, at the very least I hope they have LAN co-op if it's too unstable to play it over the internet.

More flexible game settings. I mean, not 25 kills, not 50 kills, somewhere in between. (33.333 kills?)

  • 08.27.2006 7:29 PM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Just adding another vote for Race. Its the gametype that always brings me back.

General
1) Profile names should be able to consist of more than letters and numbers. Include special symbols too, like
=
-
}
{
|
[
]
/
\

2) Include a couple new weapons and vehicles.

3) The map editor should be able to do water and you should be able to set properties, like color, visibility, etc.

4) The ability to swim in water.

5) Map editor should come with some basic materials, like glass, metal , dirt, etc.

6) In integrated utility for recording videos.

7) With the upgraded water, comes water vehicles. ;)

8) Upgrade the blood. Make it looks more like Gears of War blood.

9) Ragdolls.

10) A "Halo 2" marketplace where you can download and browse custom content.

Graphics
Since the PC is FAR more powerful than the original XBOX..
1) No compressed textures. In other words, make the textures sharper.

2) Post processing effects.

3) Imporove the pyrotechnics/explosions. Make the explosions like in Chromehounds except not so griany when you get close.


EDIT : would be nice if, in the server browset, moving your mosue over the server popppoed p some basic info.

All good.
Perhaps improving weapon effects. Not the flashy visual effects, but the math-side effects. I mean, the rocket does some pretty unbelievable damage for having a blast radius that small...
