How will the Bungie community get together when Halo 2 PC is released?

Perhaps our community shall organize some kind of event for this release?

Discuss.

Nah. The PC version will probably be more secure than the Xbox version. Since Bungie is aware of all the cheating on the Xbox, they can learn from any possible mistakes and make H2 PC a better game.

I like Halo.

I'm going to stear clear from the pc version...If cheating is bad on the consule, the computer will be worse.


Actually striker, If there's no matchmaking system, and they let people create their own rooms, with control over them; (basically like customs) The cheating will be alot less frequent

I'm hoping they have somekind of anti-cheat system in place or make it so you can use Punkbuster to protect your dedicated server.

LOL! One of the ninjas moved this topic from the Maw...to the Maw.

I noticed that too. But right now, as I post this reply, the top banner on the webpage is not the Maw banner, but the New Mombasa banner instead.

Cheating will be non-exsistent as long as the game is server-sided and there are map checksums. Why do you think there's no cheating on CE? Aside from the aimbot, which came from the Zelda mod and was going to be Z-Targeting, it's impossible to cheat in a server sided game.

Edit:

You guys dont seem to realize that the way Halo has its multiplayer set up is completely different from other games that would use 'punk buster' and 'valve anti-cheat' and so forth. Having that stuff wouldn't do anything besides hurt the custom content going into the game.

CMT_Coagulation is currently in weapon balance mode. Assuming that my balance works out, all it needs is some fine touch work and it's done. We've got to work out a better lightmap, see if we can get better reflective water, texture fixing, etc.

I'd personally like to rework the weapons layout to fit CE better, but I dont know if I'll be given that chance. The weapons are pretty much where they are in Halo 2 and I dont really think that works out allright. Especially since the weapon respawn system is different. I'd also like to rework the bipeds multipurpose map to try and give it a better look.

But alas, I have my own 82k poly creation in the works that I need to try and clean up for actual testing.

There is always a way to cheat, regardless of servers.

There's no way Bungie can make Halo 2 "cheat-proof". You can put in all sorts of anti-hack features but people will eventually find a way.

Let people cheat all they want. If servers have good admins, they will be banned quickly.

We'll from what I understand you can configure Punkbuster to look for new hacks as you leanr of them. A friend of mine is a cheat admin for America's Army and he says when they discover a new hack and configure the cheat server to detect it he has to ban a bunch of people until the word spreads they can detect it and then it dies off.

But you are right client-side code is easier to hack then server-side, but server side is not impossible to hack.
