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 The netcode is outdated and it forces players to lead their shots.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.

Hey guys... How do I enable that white text on the right side that says "you killed ...."?

  • 11.24.2006 9:20 AM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Wow, talk about getting off-topic.

The text appears on the left side, and in your Halo folder you have to open up the "msxlenu" application which will reinstall any missing or corrupted files.

And to add on to all that, i don't know if it's just me, but it seems like there's been an increase in team killers on the bungie servers.

Halo PC's been dead for a long time. We're just kicking the corpse so to speak. Unless Bungie decided to re-release a Halo Platinum edition or something, don't expect a rennaisance of Halo PC players.

DO NOT send me invites for clans or groups. You will be blocked.

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

Man, if I had a quarter for every server I got banned from for aimbotting... Hell, I would have made like 5 dollars yesterday alone.

WTF was the point of saying this when you know it's just going to start trouble....Take your own advice and think before you post.

Now getting on topic...Preety much what they said Gearbox and Bungie pulled the plug so there will be no patches or improvements but the game as it is, is still quite fun. However, we must make way for H2V and that means effort is directed towards that. So you might as well start preparing for vista because its right around the corner.

QFT!

When Vista and Halo 2 are released next year, there will be about as many people playing HPC as there are on HCE. I hate to say it, but Halo's D-E-D, DED! Yes Halo was a great game that set a standard for both Console and PC gaming, but the games nearly 4 years old now, even older for Xbox. It's time to look foreward, not backward, upwards, not foreward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

Halo PC is a good game, but from bungie's standpoint, there really isn't much they can do. Halo 2 and 3 are of far more importance overall, and if ever they look at us PCers it will be after Halo 2 and halo 3 are out there and done, and they have spare time.

Oh, how mature. Did you come up with that all by your lonesome?

Why the hell do you even bother Nessy? You obviously have nothing but contempt for the regular Halo Player, what with your demented view of "skill" and "Pro". So what makes you think you have the privilege to come here and act like that? You've been nothing but a lecherous cancer since the first day you reared your little head. And it's really grating on a lot of peoples nerves.

So just Grow the fuq up already.
