LOL it's 2006 isn't it...*sigh*

Halo is four right and KW is two, Hmmm....Ah yes. Ok now I got my dates right that would make sense. Funny though, I remember hearing a lot about KW back then....Time must've flown by and I didn't notice. I wonder if back then people just KW to mean just that, just an unofficial scrim. Seems unlikely but would make perfect sense. An unofficial KW.

....Well looks like I'm finnaly starting to lose it.

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

yeh I doubt you get banned from 20 servers for aimbotting everyday.


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.


ditto to you demitard.


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.


OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PWNZORS!!!!!111!11!11111one!!!!!!

This issue is being resolved so don't say anything that would fire it back up. Get back on topic.

Still seems like 3,000 players on average to me, as it was two years ago. Though I can't say I'm not surprised. Considering the travesty of the port (as in the net code), the only reason why people still play it is because it's one of the two ways to play Halo: Combat Evolved online (the latter being a much more complicated process with just about the same sort of online lag). The game is not God; there are plenty of other games out there that many at this board consider better. The game is now five years old and you honestly expect people to still be content with the same content and gameplay for five years to not recognize anything else?

Yes, I am a fan of Halo, as we all are, but be realistic. What is left to talk about a four year old port? Halo Custom Edition is what makes the game so much better because of the custom content, yet you only find, on average, about 150 people playing Halo Custom Edition, which the majority are either playing Bungie maps or vehicle maps (Hugeass, Coldsnap, and all those other novelties). They aren't even playing the true and great maps that even Bungie themselves would have to take a double take to see if it's forgotten map development they abandonded. That's what you should complain about. 150 people and declining as we speak play Halo Custom Edition, yet halomaps.org recieves hundreds of thousands of downloads every week. Hundreds of thousands does not translate to 150 people. Something is obviously wrong here, and the answer is obviously the server cycles and not being able to play the maps unless having it first. At least for H2V Bungie has addressed that problem and is giving some thought into being able to download the custom content as you join the server, as you would do for today's games like HL2:D, or CS:S, or F.E.A.R.

In the end, Halo PC isn't dying; as far as the gaming community as a whole is concerned, it has been dead for quite some time. Hell, it's most popularly known for the aimbot. Go ahead and search "aimbot" in YouTube and look at your top choices. Not only has the gaming community abandoned it but so has its "creators" as well. It's time to move on.

I don't think the Halo community as a whole is dead. You still find some worthwhile players and clans here and there, but they're few and far between.

No game takes as long to master as halo pc, you can play it competitively for a year and still have room for improvement.

ive been playing CS:S lately its alright... but halo PC with out the lead... there would be no such thing as a halo pro... with lead it takes skill to aim your shot acording to your ping and how -blam!- the server is (KL sniping zone=-blam!- lead)

seeing that ive had halo PC for almost a year... i never really see the ammount of servers or players go down... but recently i find that its going up... i dont know if it means halo PC is at its last gasp for air or what

also about KW and stuff... i really hope somebody haxxors that site and crashes it... cause it is the worst site ever. lol kinda random

personally i will not be getting vista at first but later in 07 i will and you will see me on halo 2 vista... ive though many times of quiting halo pc but i have not found any game that beats it... hopefully halo 2 vista will. i mean with all the "hacking", finger pointing, retarded, anoying noobs there are in halo PC it kinda gets old... thats why im starting to not like it... cause before my computer crashed i could go like 30-10 now i cant go 10-5... its horrible... all my skill kinda left me

Coming from the person who thought it was called BF2194. And yes, I agree with TUI_Obi_Wan.

I still see a lot of people attending Maw Gatherings, and many servers, but yes, less than before. Every good thing comes to an end, in this case very slowly.

  • 11.28.2006 5:23 PM PDT

Remember "The Maw"

Well, hopefully H2V will give Halo on the PC a boost and revive all the old players who left. And from what i've seen and heard, H2V will be better than halo 2 on the xbox, so that should be really cool.

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

Halo PC is a lost cause filled with smelly orange zerglings.................
