I was just in CE and the host of the server stopped time so I kept throwing frag grenades on top of each other and then when he started time again it was like "*HUGE BOOM* "Gathering Exception Data" and had to close...cool explosion though.

The "Gathering Exception data" thing has happened to me too... usually after i play on a really laggy server.

Happens sometimes also if more than one key is pressed at the same time. See's it as a bug. Happens if I hit F1 key and try strafing at the same time sometimes. Has to be precise.

Sometimes it happends sometimes not, this dude was doing stunts once in Infinity normal Halo and kept using time freeze so we could nade the tank and then we would all get on it and BOOM!! went flying... literally. It's better to do it in Halo and not Halo CE, because CE alone without hacks or Dev has some chance of getting the Gathering Exception Data thingy, so Dev will only add to it, so it's easier to see that happen.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

Heh heh, once, me and a bunch of guys filled an entire cave full of grenades.
We unfroze time, and the explosion was so big, that we all got an exception.
Good times.

u freeze time with dev trainer its realy kool. and bout the exception error: i ust to get that alot also on ce when there was alot of explosions, and stuff, and a few months later i got a new graphics card, 1 twice as good, and i have never had the problem again, so u need a better graphics processor.
exception errors r when there is over-heated software and/or just errors due to hardware malfunctions

It's the explosion that caused Halo to die. Plain and simple. Huge boom = lots of particles = lots of lag = a frozen game. You're actually luck that Halo did die, otherwise it could sit there half frozen while the explosion, well, explodes over a 5-10 minute period due to the extreme loss of frame rate.

Also exception errors happen when there are certain colisions that the makers didn't plan for. For instance, one time i was in bloodgulch and somehow, i forget, someone got a warthog up the tree by blue base. this hog was sitting there just asking to be shot by a rocket, you know what happened. it all happened pretty fast. i had enough time to look over towards the hog and then BOOM! *exception error*.

That happened because, in that split second after the hit by the rocket, the hog bounced around inside the tree. It was too much for the server to handle, so the game probably died, allong with the fact that Halo couldn't handle it. In the really old version of one of my Halo CE maps (Trepidation, mb you've heard of it) I flew the Pillar Of Autumn into the base and BAM! The thing got in there and the game died.

I have a fun combo in campaign where I get to some Hunters, freeze time, bump posses them, then start shooting off the FRG to hit the other one. Add some stickies and needlers, reposses you body.


Unfreeze time to see the flying hunter!

I used that to send 5 rockets at a jackals feet in AOTCR........and he went up to the top of the map while outside. I then decided to do this, except with 20 rockets. The jackal misteriosly dissapeard, although 5 minutes later his blood started raining from the sky.
