Well on CE....fun has been limited or lowered for me...I see alot of the good maps have only 1 or 2 players...thats no fun...those maps for example towards me are H2 zanzibar and H2 new mombasa, now ive played huge ass and coldsnap and those are all the maps that are loaded with players, not to offend anyone who like those maps but coldsnap and hugeass to me are boring, I mean the map is stretched so far that most kills could only be 3, on coldsnap you have to go wicked far to get the flag and you hardly get any kills unless you snipe which leads me to that, the snipers do so much damage that sometimes when people are sniping somewhere and you're in an LS heading towards the flag, that person looks in their scope, zooms in, pulls the trigger, bang, everyone aboard that LS is dead. Its the same thing with hugeass but slightly smaller with different weapons and has different terrain. And trust me Ive played those maps a lot of times only because im bored. All im saying is...alot of the boring maps have alot of players, and all the good maps have none.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

I just look for a server with like 14/16 players in the game. It usually is pretty fun.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Yes, I think this thought is smart. Oh wait, you said stupid? My bad.

[EDIT: About time they brought that.]

Spartacus, Coag has more duels, weapons, an better files and bitmaps, H2BG's graphics are just good, H2 Coag's better.

I agree. Hugeass and Coldsnap aren't that great. The maps are much too big for sixteen players, that is, if you're lucky enough to get that many in a server, and then the maps are very unbalanced.

To be honest, I find H2 Blood Gulch more fun than H2 Coagulation. Because Coagulation is made for H2, not Combat Evolved.

Case in point; and that's why I no longer attempt to play CE. The few good maps are not played nearly as much because the weapons are too balanced and many CE players like the weapons that make big explosions. That's why there are so many that flock to Chaos Gulch...

Right. You see, mods have to do the potential to do great things like balance Halo's gameplay, make awesome level designs, and make tons of fun for everybody, and they do, but nooooooooooooo, most amateurs decide they have to make flying warthogs that fire spartans with assault rifles that fire grenades. They have to make flying ghosts that fire automatic fuel rods. Pistols that shoot rockets (Fastmatt), sniper rifles that fire tank shells, ugh.

Before I even go about reading all the posts here, I'd like to say this:
The only reason people play PC but not CE is because people play PC but not CE. Take the time to try and understand what I'm saying.
If everyone that said they don't play CE because of a lack of players played CE, there would be no lack of players.

Are you referring to some variation of reverse psychology?

I'm saying the people play PC, but not CE, because other people play PC, but not CE.
Which means that it becomes an infinite loop of PC players that don't play CE. There is absolutely no reason to play PC. The only reason is # of players. If bungie just suddenly stopped all gamespy coverage of PC, and put up a nice big message in the marquee saying "Play CE, it's much better", then everyone would see. Of course, bungie did not make CE, so they won't do that, but it's true. There is no reason to play PC, at all. And that includes single player! Especially with CMT's revamped one!

Yes there is. There are PC gamers that never played the Xbox version of Halo, so they played the PC version instead. They'd be missing a great story line in Halo PC that Bungie made if they only played Halo Custom Edition. And no offense to CMT, but their campaign isn't as good as Bungie's original creation.

But I do see your point, if people played campaign once, saw what there was to see, did everything they could, and the only thing they did anymore was play multiplayer, then they should all play Custom Edition instead.

Every single Halo PC Single Player map is available in its orginial form for Halo Custom Edition. You lose.

Yeah personally I kind of find the graphics for H2 coag kind of bad. Or is it just my computer? Whenever I walk over a weapon the only thing that comes up is a big huge blue block and thats it.

OK steamedbacon...do you recall a mission for single player mode for regular halo on a map similar to hugeass or coldsnap? I think not!

Well Master Kim, I beat the whole campaign on regular halo before downloading an upgrade like the CMT campaign...

It's not just your computer, it just looks terrible. At least when Halo 2 Vista comes out, we'll see what Coagulation will truly look like on the PC, and it will be absolutely beautiful with the latest DX9 cards or the new DX10 cards.

Yes, thank god I wont have to worry about getting DX10 seeing as though I already have DX9.

You'll still be getting a visual treat as the latest DX9 cards are clearly superior to the five year old Xbox, and Halo 2 looks awesome on the Xbox.

But the thing is MasterKim, how big of a improvement can dx9 and dx10 make, sure they'll make the textures and effects overall look better, but not enough to make the game look like its a new game. Too make it look like its something next-gen they're going to have to overhaul or improve at the least a little bit on the textures, and add in effects or reprogram effects so it truly takes use of dx9 and dx10.

Remember everything on Halo 2 was programmed specifically for dx8 with 8.1 being used. Also the textures and graphics were limited by the xbox hardware.

It'll still look good though, but if they're only reprogramming for dx10 and dx9, it'll look better, but not like god-like like people are hoping.
