Halo Maps Forum

HCE is fine , we just need all the halo trial n00bs to get Cd codes and all the Pc players to shift to HCE. I still dont understand how Pc players havent shifted to CE yet. We should give Bungie a call and ask them to put a message whenever halo starts up : ' Shift to HCE NOW! '.

There have been god knows how many attempts over the years to get people to movet o CE, videos, maps, everything. Face it, if they didn't then, whats going to change their mind now? Thats why we need more stuff that will change their mind.

KID, i know its irritating, but I think it would be best if you were to ignore his posting style. Although,t hats jsut my opinion on the matter.

As for the thread, I agree with Recycle Bin, I haven't seen anything 100% custom in a long time. What, did people just lose their imagination over the years or something?

Hey man, I know that he is saying the right things and that it's not idiot. I am just annoyed that he butchers the good posts by typing like that.

Fair enough, I was just giving my opinion on the matter.

Then who the hell is sucking all my bandwidth and downloading the 11 million files we have served? Your statement does not correlate with the bandwidth or file download statistics.

Well my idea of Halo CE dying is when there are less people online. When I first played Halo CE it was in the thousands but now it's diminished down to 200 or less. At least when I'm online.

@mastur cheef.
You have an invalid CD key says it all. If you want to play the game that much , get a keygen , buy a unused cd key or the game itself.
Im tired of all the crap on HCE. Most of the dedicated servers now run BloodGulch Snipers , someone needs to revamp the entire game , best candidate would be CMT's SPv2 , really looking forward to it.

ehm... i can't even start a game when i play v1.06 i can join every game and can start a game so that means its something other no my cd-key

You mean you can't play on 1.08 but can on 1.00?
Thats your illegal cd key if it is

Quote: --- Original message by: mastur cheef
ehm.. i dunno cuz it works on v1.06

There is no 1.06 version.... There is 1.08, 1.07 and 1.00.
The 1.06 you are referring to is 1.006, which is 1.00 and thus your cd key is the problem, because fake versions of halo can only work on 1.00 (Though there is another argghh pirate way :P)

No, its not the CD Key moron, its a patcher. People use downgrade patches to play 1.00 or 1.07.

for those wondering WHERE the population is; theyre mostly on 1.04; where people continue moving to 1.04 because of their whoopin 900 players (that number is an estimate, sometimes theres more, sometimes theres less)

I don't want to read all this thread but here are my opinions:

Halo Custom Edition is dying for many reasons.
- The game is very old, may people have moved on the COD4 etc.
- The thousands that play haloPC or version 1, have pirated the game and don't care to upgrade anyway.
- There are no good map makers left, they have all moved on. All i see now are crappy "Hugeass, coldsnap" like maps and halo2 and 3 stuff. I CAN GET HALO2AND3 ON MY XBOX, I DON'T NEED IT IN CUSTOM EDITION!

most of all, people are sick of the same old crap over and over again. We either need some new content (NON HALO2/3) and some well thought out maps. Otherwise i can see the community dying within the next year.

Are some players reluctant to upgrade to 1.08 because their 'hax' might fail? ;)

Nah I think that auto update just failed on them. They probably use a map the disables it such as yoyorast island UI

hmm... want a BoardingAction mod??

ill think that over..

Yeah, uh, no. They all just moved to modacity down the street, may want to check that out, and thers still plenty of good map makers who are doing original stuff on this forum.

When i started playing CE in 2005 i saw about 100 servers all the time.
Now i see only about 6.
Like i said CE is dying. SPV2 might boost it up a bit though maybe.

what
last weekend when i was on 1.08 there were like 92 servers

and people still play marathon online. i was playing with a bunch of people about a month ago.

Unless Dennis is lying about the stats :O

Lol @ Recycle Bin

You must have had some crappy internet or your filters were screwed, because I would see way more than 100 servers back in 06, and just yesterday there were 95 servers on 1.08 and a few hundred people online.

He's not.

Thou Shalt not question the almighty DENNIS, defender of nubs, sage of halomaps, Saviour of halo CE!

For as his quote quotes, He is much older than thee UnevenElefant5, if that is indeed your real name!

Anyways what reason would he have for lying?

Ok how about the fact that blood gulch is played more than all custom maps combined (maybe excluding coldsnap). And what's all this sh*t that we need to make better maps for the game to grow. You think there is something wrong with all the awesome maps we have already? Anyway i've given up on this whole thing since people still think better maps will bring the game back up.

ok #1.we have great maps and always will
#2.better maps will not bring hce back because its not gone
#3.if you combine all the custom maps compared to blood gulch it is custom maps 5:2 blood gulch i was on earlier today.
#4.hce is not dying because when i was on earlier there was at least 200 servers and only about 30 of them were blood gulch

Sure Halo Custom Edition is not dying and slowly gaining players but why is it that more stock maps get played than custom maps? Because everyone has stock maps. And why are some people still playing Halo PC when CE offers all its features improved? Because they dont know or are idiots. HCECMP is a group devoted to playing custom maps and promoting Halo CE. Anyone can join as long as they follow to basic rules. It is not meant to be a clan but more a way for all Halo CE members to communicate through Xfire.

Game nights will be planned and a server will be created shortly with only custom maps. If this works as I hope all members will recomend maps for the cycle, download the all the maps on it and try to focus on that server instead of the stock maps servers.

Ftfy. Sure , some guys might be leaving , but the number of players are increasing because of all the potential CE players out there. No worries.

Yep, I see players coming in everyday. Yesterday, I went to a dedi hosting bC_raceway_mp and there was this new guy. He said he learnt of haloce via the BFM(beg for mercy) racing servers.
So, all we need to do is to advertise HCE on HPC.
Anyway, not all hope if lost. If you go here http://files1.halomaps.org/ . You can usually see someone dling halocesetup. If, not all hope is lost! Halo ce is not going to be dead.
Yet.
