Exactly, I play CSS which is server based and I see a hacker once in a while.


CS:S is client side, sorry.

I'm getting a job and buying a new computer.


How is it client side? It is on servers.. (I'm probably missing something)

its obvieis that people are going to buy halo 2 pc because of all of the online capability to the xboxs capablity you are going to pay for xbox live and i own a xbox and i liked the halo for it but i got the pc game of it and am much more satisfied with the verietiy for pc as apose to the xbox so it going to be a big sale in the marketing for bungie.And so that what they are probebly going to use to make halo 3.So bungie is going to make a prophet out of this pc game.


English please.

The few, the proud, the leet.

It is client sided since what happens on your machine determines the game. The server is simply there to provide a stationary gathering place and to transmit data from client to client.

In CS:S if you shoot at someone's head and get a kill, your computer will tell the server you did so. The server will tell everyone else. You are always right when it comes to where and how you shoot.

In Halo if you shoot at someones head, your computer will tell the server you shot at a certain direction. The server will determine if anyone was hit, and if so, calculate what happens. When that is done, the server will tell everyone else AND you what happened. The server is always right when it comes to anything involving shooting, movement, death, etc.

That is the difference between Halo and the other games. The lack of knowing this is why people can soo easily say something rediculous like "Gearbox sucks, they did a terrible job," when it's quite the contrary. It is Gearbox that has kept cheating out of PC/CE. Gearbox has proven to be better at multiplayer security over Bungie. It confuses me still to this day as to why Bungie did not include even a simple check over a multiplayer map to ensure it matches the map that is supposed to be played. The data is allready in memory at that time, so it would only take a few unnoticeable seconds.

If it was done that way, people who have modded their maps would never be able to have anyone else join them unless they have the same exact modded map. They wouldn't be able to join a game where the origional was being used either. It's the exact same thing that is done after you start/join a sever in CE.

It's not just the netcode - you're forgetting about Halo PC's horrible optimization. Halo is a huge system hog and even then, the shimmering, distortion apperance of the active camoflauge only works with higher-end cards, and the teleporter appearances look different than on the Xbox version. Gearbox still could have done a better port aside from the netcode. With my system, I should be able to handle 1280 X 1024 with max settings with a consistent framerate above sixty frames per second.

HOLY CRAP! THERE IS THE NEW MOMBASA BANNER AGAIN ON THE TOP OF THIS PAGE!

I'm going to pwn tons of noobs in H2 PC, while defending the Maw from the voracious horde of spammers at the advent of H2 Vista.

I hope there will be a dedicated server option like there is in Halo 1 PC. Oh, and I hope bungie doesn't add any new weapons or vehicles or junk like that.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

So has it been confimed one way or the other about 56k support? M$ would be VERY wise to make broadband a requirement. I mean, if H2 is going to lag like H1, why bother?
