Hey all!

Stop whining pls! They closed Halo Trial but no1 said they will close Halo PC or CE too. And probably they won't close as long as people have rented servers on them. BUT, even if they do one day, Btcc is working already on a GS emulator. With that and a small server sided patch (included in Sapp and Phasor) and a client sided dll (with many awesome features like load maps FAST in Halo CE starting, downloading CE maps when you join to the game, unified serverlist, fov change, bookmarking servers, increased polygon number in ce maps, etc, Yes, these ALREADY exists and WORKING), so with these we can play Halo like before, or in even better quality ^^. Also atm I'm helping to Sean in making http://halorank.com work again, at least on some basic level. SO, halo ISN'T dead yet, many awesome stuff are just now incoming =)
PCE!



hac2 already makes Halo connect to a few different master servers, wich are all for different versions of Halo CE, so it CAN make the game connect to a 3rd party one.
This is the list of all sapp servers corrently online: http://xhalo.tk/serverlist/ this CAN possibly be used as a new master server

Elite Game Servers is working together with the guys from sapp, so they will keep hosting servers for CE, as it is one of their biggest sources of income.


In other words: It will be fine, as long as you get hac2!

I wonder if this means kornman will do something for the next os. Or if someone will make a completely new add on to make that work. In the meantime ill gladly use my hac 2 install for mp. No good yelo mp maps anyway.

personally I only use hac2 on my halo pc for the hud customization, but I use os in halo ce because of the graphics and yelo, I would mix but hac disables a few os features such as FOV

Umm, why not just have both?

Seriously, there should be no problems using both. The only difficulty with using both is that HAC has a sightjacker assigned to the same key as OS's menu, but that's not a major issue.

When changing FOV, I'm pretty sure HAC just takes precedence.(As in, HAC overrides whatever OS sets anyway)

Because it doesn't have Motion Blur and FXAA. ENB Series has bloom adaptation but OS bloom quality is higher.

Enb series also have 16 level AF, SSAO and DOF. SweetFX can also be used with it which means FXAA, luma sharpen and other good stuff.

Not sure how you think money works but simply keeping the servers alive isn't going to bring a lot of players. Just because servers weren't like this at the beginning doesn't mean people can't adjust to it. All that will change is that you have to look them up in a web browser so it's no big deal. You are just guessing numbers in an attempt to make this seem like a huge problem. This is one of the only halo games on the pc with actually good gameplay. Do you really think that the majority of players will just get up and walk away. I'll make sure to thank the latino community for their h4 maps later. Really there aren't many maps that are like aquarii where the map actually is custom. You seem to have an idea that I think due to the time it takes for good maps to come out that the modding scene is worthless. Most maps are horrible remakes of other maps in halo games or even other games. I am not insulting past mappers as you think but simply saying that quality these days is hard to come by. You also seem to think that I want halo and doom shut down due to low players but that is not the case. You are fighting for something that matters very little. In the end someone is going to do something great that can fix this (If it does happen). Until then you can just look the ips up and write them down. 343 has no real incentive unless halo ces downfall somehow makes it difficult to sell other halo games which I doubt. That or they are kinder than I thought. In the end it will cost more to keep this game going than the copies that will be bought.

As this game isn't already hard enough to get into, this is just an extra complicated step for new comers.
