So uhh... where are all the CE players? CE only has a few servers that actually have people in them, and those are mostly the servers that run halo 1 maps

Agreed. It just never took off. People are just too lazy to download Custom Edition, either that or they've never heard of it, and even then most of the people who downloaded it don't play it that much. It had so much potential, but now it's a desert wasteland only with a few nomads roaming the servers, small pockets of inhabitants that you'll see only once in a blue moon.

I play Halo CE. My name on it is MasterChief. :)

However, I don't play it nearly as much as the retail Halo PC, because not only is there no campaign without additional downloads, it is also not as fun. The Halo 2 maps are pitifully constructed, with blocky and ugly player models, and the maps can be taxing of a vid card if played with medium settings.

Halo PC also has more players right now, which is the main reason for my playing it primarily. Still, like the mighty Master Kim remarked, CE had much potential.

*cries too* Halo ce is soo much fun most people are just too stupid or too lazy to move that thing called a mouse. I have tried to get ppl to download it but they just don twhant too. Maybe its cause bungie didnt make alot of it?

The few, the proud, the leet.

Funny how that people say it's dead or never took off, considering that there are well over 1500 unique players to have visited the HIV server.

Well, originality was never my strong point.

As for download phobia, I'm certainly not too lazy to download stuff, and again, I DID download it. But it just sort of never took off, making it unworthy of playing if you're looking for lots of unique action. Still, I suppose that it's nice sometimes to have a small, tight community like that.

I guess you guys are all right about people not playing this game much, and sadly i am very surprised because halo ce is just too much fun. the guy who said that either people dont like it or people never heard of it, the answer is that people never heard of it, and i see that very few people play this custom edition program

but that is where i come in, i just started a clan about 3 days ago, and it is called the Custom Edition Squad
anyways this is the clan where i will gather all of the halo pc fans and we all group up. once i have alot of people in my clan, there will be lots to do on halo ce. even if the people dont know about halo ce then we will show them and if they do then this is where you can group up to meet friends who play halo ce, share new maps with you that you never knew of, and maybe even learn how to create your own new halo maps.


If you are interested then join my clan here! and you will be on your way to fun, remember this clan like i said just started so give me a little time to find all of the halo ce fans/halo pc fans out there. I have ran a clan once and it was called Glitch Squad, which had over 170 members in it, but that was long ago, so you can trust me in gathering troops. Join if you like! (you must own your own halo pc full edition game not a demo)

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

You.. should post your clan advertisements in The Classifieds..
I havent played CE in a while, and I've hardly played PC this month. I've just been distracted with more important things(Yes, somthing more important than Halo).

Actually I never play halo PC unless I need to do campain or get into a really big fight (16 people). But the diversity in the maps in CE is like a breth of fresh air. They offer so much freedom and diversity, your not limited by the stuff halo had. I don't think people are to lazy to download it...its just that they never hered of it. CE is one of the only things that gearbox pulled off right.

I would love to have Halo CE, but I tried to download it and it said it would take at least 17hrs. to download.

I'd play it more often if the only 3 custom maps anyone ever plays didn't take 15 minutes to download.

That bugs me too.

There are a few terrabytes worth of good maps out there. I don't know why people don't download it. Especially those that have the retail version of Halo PC.

It's FREE! And I think a few hours of download time are REASONABLE for an online multiplayer game.

I think CE only took an hour for me to download.

you'll probably see Pet0sh, I'm on fairly often, though my connection sucks.

Yeah, most of my friends think it's cool, and go YEAH I'M GONNA GET IT and then completely forget since they play halo 2 already. Or my cousin who keeps making excuses that he searches and can't find CE.

On thing that's bad though, is the dwindling number of dedicated servers for CE.

  • 08.12.2006 5:53 PM PDT

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

here is a way to revive halo ce. go into every halo pc forum that you can find on google and post Chewy Gumball's thread.

That'd do it. Also, the number of servers that have people in them depends on the time of day. Convert your home time to GMT, and subtract seven. That's what time it is somewhere near America, which is where most servers are hosted. Please excuse if I am incorrect in the time zones.

American GMT Times:
-5 for eastern
-6 for central
-7 for mountain
-8 for pacific


I think.
