I always go on to Halo and check the multiplayer, but nobody's ever there. I have recently found out, shortly after buying the game, that multiplayer is better than campaign in most ways. So please people, keep it real, keep it koo, and play Halo/Halo 2. ^^

Because...
* It's years old now
* It wasn't that good in the first place
* There's much better games out there now

That's about it really.

Sorry for the obvious question but, you do click on 'Get List' while on the multiplayer screen, right? That aside, most of the people on The Maw are active Halo players (We even have a weekly game to meet and frag) and there are usually plenty of servers with lots of people for whatever game type you want to play, be it CTF or Slayer.
If I had to choose one of the options above, then I would have to say lots of people play Halo 2 instead of Halo PC since it comes with more features and is newer.

Umm, I really found something really weird on Mp. It's weird, its this circle in the server browser just look across the top side of the browser. It's weird before I would only get like 90 servers max with only dozens on people with it on I think. But after clicking it, hundreds of servers came up along with thousands of people. I think that button filters out all the modded servers, leaving only stock servers. So that may be your problem there.

the little ring in the server filter/organizer thing makes it so that you only see servers with classic halo content. (none of the PC only stuff, fuel rod gun, ETC) Read the manual so that you would know that kind of thing.

There needs to be an option for "But I do play Halo PC!"

Even at 0500 this morning there were something to the tune of 400 people on. There are some newer games that are supposed to be so much "better", but still had less people playing them.

Not eneugh time to lug around the CD everywhere and install it every time... so this one usually does the demo when outside of the home... which is where the majority of online play takes place.

A lot of people play. Maybe you're not on v. 1.07

The player list should be about 2000

you just dug your own hole here because I get 360 servers and there is always someone on. This only happens if your using a no-cd patch or a illegal version of halo pc. Good job.

or there is some sort of security system on his computer. that blocks his accessing the main server listing service.

Heyyo,

I tend to not have time anymore cause of work & since I don't live at home I have to do everything myself. Not as much time for the computer as I had before.

I think what he means by not that good in the first place is the massive balancing issues. Like how all the newly added content actually made HaloPC worse. I could go on, but I've posted this billions of times, my head might explode if I do again. :P

But yeah, I for one love HaloPC, and I try n' find a good classic server full o' people if I can, but most just flock towards the bungie servers (which I might add, I'm extremely amazed they're still going on! ty Microsoft for that one, cause it is their servers I believe) so I tend to just go there n' snipe the n00btubers if I do play. :)
