Ever since the Combat Evolved patch, I have been noticing less and less players and servers, tho higher quality games, I find myself playing agains the same guy from 6 till midnight, and I like diversity. Most Halo PC new comers tend NOT to read the little scrolly bar under the games in Combat Evolved. If it were possible, I personally whould like to see a (if it were possible) a instant link to a CE download section, not just the mainpage, the very page. Again i'd just like to say that this is probebly impossible but would be nice if so possible, and also, on the scroll bar it says "Visite gearboxsoftware.com", but it is not there, make it say Cortana.Org, faster.

The 1.04 patch introduced a rather nasty crashing-during-MP bug. I agree that there aren't enough people using Custom Edition (not Combat Evolved - that's normal Halo).

No offense, but here is my view and I think most people probably agree with it.

After playing the game that you can barely run at 1024x768, I think everybody would rather go play Unreal Tournament 2004 where it is not only fun, but pretty to look at. Everybody blames Gearbox Software for porting the game, but they should look at the publisher who orders them to have the game gold by that certain date or be hit with lawsuits and that publisher was Microsoft themselve. Halo PC was shipped very laggy and given the gap between the Xbox version and the PC version, that is a major gape if not communications. Right now, I'm just hoping someone will create a Halo CE fast shader and fix the single player portion of the game that the PC community was denied from 4 years ago and now is still denied from Microsoft.

Not to be critic against Halo, but by the time Halo 2 reaches PC, (If it does, but I do suspect so), their will be plenty of games that have similar gameplay styles, and just as advanced game motor + graphics. Though of course there will be a Halo 2 rush, just like with Halo 1. But people loose interest in everygame eventually.
Though I still think Halo is one of the best games to play at a LAN.

Halo 2 on the PC if ever release has already signed its death sentences already. By not having the game out before the Half Life 2 rush or by not developing it in the first place along side the Xbox, this game is likewise in the dust as Unreal 3 rolls in on 2005.

I've heard that Bungie and Microsoft is not planning to release it to PC. Due to the fact that I heard of that console games make a lot more money and less time to make than PC games.
