Is it harder and harder to find a "normal" Halo server? Servers that used to use mostly normal weapons are now no-shields, or snipers only, or snpier-no-shields.

Has the world gone mad???

Yeah, I definitely agree with you. It takes me forever just to find a good server with a pistol start. It makes me so mad when the only games I can find on Hang Em High are rockets matches. I usually go to servers with a ping under 100 too, so that limits my options further.

Most of them are BG only with normal settings, once I get a server I can do all levels normal settings

Most games I play are CTF or slayer...I have some good gametypes that I host on a regular basis though. Those are generally pretty popular.

I counted 4 out of 5 servers running 'rockets only' yesterday. On HPC, any way. Open up CE, and before I could say 'Damn, this takes soooo long to load', I was playing Blood Gulch CTF Classic Weapons. That's some goooood pwnage.
I like the Diesel -PL- servers, he sets up some good gametypes, and uses a ton of custom maps.

What makes me mad is that most servers are on blood gulch which i hate because i played blood gulch for a year on trial. Also lots of servers are on a heavy weapon set. I dont have to worry about this much as i play Halo Custom Edtion mostly, everyone should get CE it has better internet code and the custom maps are very cool. you should really check into it. Here is Halo CE and here is the maps. Please think about getting custom edtion if you ask many people that play it they will tell you that it is so much better beilve me.

Well, it's good to know I'm not alone. Too bad there's no CE for Mac. My next Mac will be able to play it, but I'm not getting one till this one is outdated for the work I do, and it's doing just fine in that department.

I like using "skill" weapons as you say, but I find it boring when host, as it's near impossible for anyone to have "skill" while not host...makes it quite unfair in my opinion.

And yeah, I meant in custom edition. I think I uninstalled regular halo quite a while back, saw absolutely no reason to keep it.

Yeah, left and right all you see these days are all things like hev games in all the maps or shot gun slayer with 400% health in infinity (0_0''). This is why I will only play in dedicated servers like the one my clan owns. If you ever want to come it's called {GoG} Recruiting, i am one of the Rcon holders so I can change up the maps to anything you want.

i also found that there are a lot or heavy weapon servers. Which is for complete noobs who don't like pistols.

  • 09.22.2006 1:10 PM PDT

I'm just so freaking tired of rockets matches and heavy weapons matches. Here's a crazy idea-try using a weapon that takes some skill to use like the pistol, AR, PR, PP, Needler...etc.

It's so annoying when I go in a game and find that it's rockets when I'm thinking it's a normal game. Rockets take skill to use when everyone else has one, not when you're the only one wielding it. But not as much as the pistol does. I end going into a [TMC] or other BG servers and play there, or in the XK servers. They ussually make fun games.

Its even more difficult to find a decent CTF server if your in the UK. Just want normal games with normal weapons.

Some of the crappest games ever is all rockets on that small long one (longest?).

Basically just a spawn -blam!-. Soon as you spawn, hope you live long enough - about 2 seconds - to fire at their spawn point.

1) That's not going to work.

2) I know you guys have the rights to advertise HaloCE to people who only play HaloPC, but I'm effing sick of people who does that everytime a randomthread mentions CE. Guys like that is one of the side reasons to why there are less servers in HaloPC nowadays (the main reason is that HaloPC is a fairly old game, but seriously, look at the CS series, they're way older but still has thousands of servers 24/7).

And to the thread creator, try creating your own server. I know it's not much help, but hopefully, a little by little, people will start creating servers/dedicated servers with classic weapons. =/ I sure hope so.

That's a good thing. The reason CE is advertised so much is because it's better, and doesn't have as many players as it should...please don't rail on it until you give it a try, i seriously don't see any way in which PC>CE, except that PC has more people, and so why not just make one better than the other?

One gametype i've been finding really popular is snipers, no shields. Slayer is still out there though, especially on nice big maps like autumn slay which I just played an awesome game on.

It's not just you. More and more servers these days are becoming 400% health rocket Battle Creek Oddball type crap, most likely because people are becoming bored with the game. They've exhausted all the possibilities of online play, and the'yre trying to find new "fun" gametypes - but failing miserably.

  • 09.25.2006 3:13 PM PDT

In high definition baby!

People now love rockets now. I just like Normal CTF with all vehicles.

I second the XK servers escpecially since I ping well there.
