Edited by SpartanHex on Apr 21, 2015 at 02:07 PM Halo ce will never get 32 players Microsoft doesn't support that game no more only HO. Based on what you think the community wouldnt be able to mod 32 players on halo ce? And microsoft wont set 32 players on HO as well and neither will offer any kind of support to eldewrito users. Not sure how microsoft support would be relevant at this point. Edited by SpartanHex on Apr 21, 2015 at 02:18 PM Emoose did found out that you can raise up 32 players on HO. Talk to Emoose if you don't believe me. Where is that link again?

I'm honestly not sure even who's trolling who anymore - it's like setting a horde of rabid dogs loose in a confined space and seeing which one comes out on top. This is utterly pointless, it's demeaning to the community, and while I personally get to have a laugh at watching the idiots wallow around in their own faeces, it's a hollow victory since I'm still only watching morons slapfight. Halo Online is not going to supersede the Halo: CE community. It simply does not have the capacity to do so without years of extensive modding, and tools that haven't even been developed yet. Any idiot flipping his shplit about this needs to be checked out to make sure he wasn't lobotomised as an infant. Now, with that said: please. Continue funposting. It's a source of amusement for me.

If we treat each of our fingers (or, 'digits'[/puns]), as a binary digits, we could easily count everything on them.

Other than that the actually game seems pretty bad. The powerups you can throw 3 grenades at once, theirs also like a ground pound armor lock type thing, another one is you can sprint even FASTER! :D So I'm not sure how I feel about the actual game, I want to try it, but I feel El Doritos version is better, also in the Alpha only 3 maps, Turf, Edge and Guardian. http://www.reddit.com/r/HaloOnline/comments/33dqi8/halo_online_public_alpha_release/

I agree they are damaging the game..... and Idk what gamecheat13 is doing to it. y'know, i think i just discovered why this community is dying... I'll spell it out; someone has to. It's you. And people like you. Seriously. Threatening to rape peoples families? Threatening to cut off peoples heads and fingers? Maybe the reason people are leaving is because of a combinations of xenophobia, illiteracy, psychopathy, and god knows what else i havent seen yet. This may come as a surprise to you, but that's not actually normal human behavior! Thats very, very troubling, and the lot of you probably need to contact a psychologist. Not even a joke. You seem to have very troubling anger issues and violent fantasies, mixed with a hatred of anything you don't understand, a ludditical outlook on life, and even possibly paranoid schizophrenia. Which is different from the "voices in your head" schizophrenia. There are many kinds. The point is, the community is dying because you insult, threaten, harass, stalk, and put up various conspiracy theories about why your community is dying when the exact reason why it's dying is because nobody can stand you. You take everything way, way past the line of acceptable behavior, and you really need to take a good year or more away from the internet, re-evaluating your life choices, possibly seeking medical help for your rampant psychosis, before you even consider interacting with another human being. And that's exactly why this community NEEDS to die. Because as long as people like reach even have a presence here(if this were any other major forum, people like reach would be permabanned long, long ago, because news flash! Once again, violent threats against other people is not only not tolerated, but it's also an actual crime. That you can go to jail for.), then this community is doomed. By not banning reach, you are tacitly acknowledging this behavior and silently saying that it is acceptable, which it absolutely is not. Mic. Drop. There was another post about Halo Online a couple days ago and all Reachfan did was call everyone stupid and a ***hole, well I just spread news about HO cause I want to see what this game can offer, but yes many of the members on here who are defending the community are the ones actually destroying it.

Even if Halo Online made it outside of Russia and saw a World Wide release, where is there any indication, discussion or proof of concept that Halo Online will have a proper HEK released with it? I fail to see the idiocy behind assuming it won't given the most recent Halo port, ala Halo 2 Vista. Second, if not Innova or Saber....who is going to provide this "Editing Kit" you speak of? A member of the Halo Online Community? If that is the thought, that's just cute. I'd like to see a member of any community actually write out a working from scratch command line or UI driven compiler for Halo assets. To date, the only one to come even close to making that happen has been Kornman with his GuerillaRadio. And even that was just adding code to the existing compiler and all that was done is he got collision models and physics models to compile from a standard jms. Halo Online isn't going to kill anything! Nor is Halo Online superior to any other Halo game. And Halo CE isn't superior to HO or H2V, and vice versa. It all comes down to preference in what Halo game you choose to play. NOT wanting to play HO becuase of a set of personal reasons CANNOT be argued or claimed to be WRONG. Everyone has their reason and who is anyone else to judge these people for their reasons? All I have seen is a lot of misinformation, wild claims and a whole lot of e-penis swinging. I've seen very little actual discussion on it's potential outside some photoshopped pics and "claimed quotes". From here on in, why don't we focus on facts, not allegations. Focus on truth, not lies. And stop calling each other out when someone DOES point out a fact that someone just simply doesn't like. Edited by Twinreaper on Apr 22, 2015 at 11:31 AM

Does anybody remember what it was like when Halo 2 Vista was released? Chaos, absolute chaos. Everybody was terrified that the Halo CE community was going to die and that everyone was going to move to Halo 2 Vista. Look how that turned out. Let's be honest, Halo Custom Edition is where we all started and is where we all end up at the end of the day. Halo CE isn't going anywhere. Just give it some time for this Halo Online stuff to simmer down and you'll see everything is back to normal - if not better than before. Halo Online and Halo 2 Vista is a major slap in the face from Microsoft. If only they realized (or cared) about how having a fully functional "Custom Edition" game has basically formed thousands of peoples lives of becoming programers, artists, game developers, hell even hackers (which is how I have my current job with a software engineering company breaking into our own systems and exploiting our software so we can make it more secure). Halo Custom Edition will live until the day we all die, and then some. Halo CE will always be the game that made us who we are, nothing will change that. Just give it some time, everything gets better with time. -Dark (Well, I guess maybe Halo 5 Fully Unlocked Custom Edition for pc might change a few things, but i'll worry about that when that day comes.) Halo CE will always be alive and have it's community some way or another, I haven't been on the forums like crazy back in the day but I started playing CE back in 09 and I had the time of my life with it. I want to try something new, I'm sure a lot of people want to and Halo online can be that new Halo game to let us have some fun and relax :) So I never really understood all the hate coming from some of the players (ReachFan) But yeah CE will last

It is the beta testing period that is being made available to Russian players. I think there are two reasons for this, since MS did not give any reasons. Firstly, it is to MINIMIZE exposure to the game while it is in its beta testing period, since Microsoft's major market is in the USA. Secondly, it is a clever way of flushing-out software pirates so they can make the appropriate IP bans before the game is officially released worldwide. I'm not implying that there are more software pirates in Russia, but I am saying that this is their approach for pin-pointing software pirates and NDA violators. Haven't you noticed that companies have been increasingly tracking IP addresses of those who pirate software and issuing an increasing number of "takedown notices" (lawsuit threats)? Edited by sparky on Apr 22, 2015 at 02:45 PM Thats strange because I remember Microsoft making the official statement that the game itself has no future target oitside Russia, and that any plans to expand the game oitside Russia would require content and mechanic changes to appeal to the uitside broader markets. As foe your supposed IP bans...that accomplishes nothing if proxies are being used. Microsoft has no way of permanently preventing you from playing a game such as Halo. Look at the console attempts? Many jtag users were able to successfully unban their consoles. PC users have a much easier time manipulating packet data and networks. Pirated versions of Halo and Halo 2 are proof of that. Aside from all the silly techie mumbo jumbo...Microsoft has absolutely nothing to gain by testing an alpha or beta to a secluded region of the world such as Russia.
