I’ve been playing Halo PC since it was released in November of 2003 and although I understand that you’re focusing much of your energies on Halo 2 and your upcoming projects I’d like to take this opportunity to express some very important issues. So please bear with me as I try to explain my point of view. I belong to a Halo PC clan called [XK] and the clan in itself makes the playing experience much more entertaining for I am able to play with people that share common interests.
There is a rapid decline in participation within the Halo PC community; that of people playing and people adhering to enjoy this classic first person shooter. It seems to me that you guys have lost complete interest in Halo PC, for the lack of security updates amongst other critical elements. It is difficult to understand this ‘lack of interest’ for we both know that Halo is the reason why Bungie is now considered to be a company to make exceptional videogames. I find it quite disappointing for you to abandon the game that made your company popular, moreover, recognized globally. In addition, I think that you should be considerate to those players that participate in Halo PC and do something about the problems that are occurring in the game, such as cheats, explicitly “aim-botting.” I am not the only one to address the concerns but hopefully with more people like myself expressing our concerns action may be taken to improve this dying community.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Sincerely,
Paul Fiskratti
Though your request is noble, I am afraid it is futile, Sir Fiskratti. Bungie and Gearbox have long pulled the plug on Halo PC, in terms of support for the game.
People may have their opinions, but Halo was in ways a fudged up port. The game taxes more on computers than it should. The netcode is outdated and it forces players to lead their shots. Since many players don't like to lead their shots, they decided not to play Halo PC anymore and play, dare I say it, better games.
There are so many games out there that are significantly superior to Halo PC, in terms of graphics, gameplay, story, etc. And that's just counting first-person shooters. I love my Halo, but there are many other games that I like more. Give me some F.E.A.R. over Halo I won't mind. It's a sad fact, but Halo PC is indeed dying. There's nothing we can do to stop it I'm afraid.
