They talk about HPC at 48:05.
Heh, that's cool. I like how Halo PC is unsupported yet we get a little nod from them every now and then.
Gah you cant stream it =\Quote:

There are only two possibilities I see:
- Something related to Halo 3 PC. But that's highly unlikely: they'd give that right to H2V owners, and it's already been said that we wouldn't see H3PC for years.
- GPL'ing Blam! as they did Marathon's engine before it. But that's highly unlikely as well: It wouldn't involve the CD key at all.
So it's something I could never guess.
I don't even know what to think...
Also, what FAB said above me. Maybe they meant Halo 2 PC, not even thinking of Halo 1? They should give H3 away as a free upgrade to H2V...fucking waste.
Downloading now.
Well they were specifically talking about Halo 1 PC, making all the references to Gearbox.
lol probably some way of making money.
Well you kind of need your cd key to use Cerebrum :rolleyes:

And to install it you would need your key? Doubt it. But whatever it is, it better be good. :P

You paid for Halo CE? Someone ripped you off.
I doubt it's going to be any sort of update. My money is on "enter your Halo-PC key for a chance to win recon!"
I have two ideas:
1) Halo 3 PC Beta invites to Halo PC owners, or
2) Halo Custom Edition 2
Sadly, it's most likely this...Quote:

How can we quote 70 mb of words?

they were talking about halo pc and how this guy roger is the only one left supporting it, how he made the patches for the latest exploits.
then hes like oh i guess i ll say this now, anyone who still has there yellow sticker cd key, hold on to it, something interesting is happening in the near future.
btw, the segment with nathon fillion, joe and marty was awesome.
I dont want quicktime fucking up my pc, clutters everything up. Thanks rentafence, saves me downloading 70mb, thats nearly a whole episode of House in bandwidth:O
For those who downloaded, the interview with Nathan Fillion is great as well.
its a fucking mp3, play it with any media player.Quote:

Time to go buy another copy of Halo :bunchies:
God, read the post bacon...
The fact that, the only guy who deals with Halo PC said "get your cd keys ready" to me sounds like something is happening WITH Halo PC, (rather than Halo 3 PC beta).
I hope it is Halo source code released.
I'll have to give this a listen. And... I guess I have to go find my CD case. Seems I got slack since the 1.08 removal of the CD check.
I love how there are like 20 people hovering over this thread.
Edit: I have to reinstall Halo PC anyways, so I should go hunting for my Halo PC CD (with key) sometime.

Drop any hopes you guys have of an update or anything. With a single guy doing minimal support for this game, the chances are slim to none. He said specifically "we might be doing something interesting with that in the future" with the it being a direct reference to the CD key itself, not the game.
I was the one who talked about Halo 3 PC. And I said a possible invite for Halo PC owners (which you can prove that you are one with your CD-Key).Quote:

its cerebrum
HALO PC NOW USING WINDOWZ LIEV :haw:
Wouldn't they just come out and say it then? I mean Cerebrum isn't exactly top secret.Quote:

My fear is that they'd dare to drop Gamespy for the LIVE service. That would be horrible...
Everyone knows that Halo + G4WL =H2Vpile of shit
Have you been holding out on us Jcap?
As in a secret Bungie involvement
whats cerebrum
Cerebrum is a stat tracking program in development for Halo CE. It is a server side service. It has its own stickied thread.
Edit: Cerebrum would sound like something Wolf would be interested in, considering he is the one who did most of the work for stat tracking in Halo 2 and Halo 3 if I remember right.
Made a small version of the CD key discussion for those that just want to listen to that part: http://flibitijibibo.awardspace.us/halocdkey.mp3
Obviously not, but they wouldn't let people download Halo PC/CE for free. I'm talking about a merging here, one game instead of the two we have now.Quote:

Also, for anyone that did actually listen to this podcast, they give away one of the achievements for ODST, which ended up being one from the leaked list...
After listening to it I kinda lean towards Cerebrum.
I mean they mentioned CMT with it's first spv1
It would make sense, I mean Korn does know bungie well (If I recall that special trip he won.)
I think a change in servers like LIVE instead of Gamespy would help out a lot. Such as the lag problems.
How often does this podcast come out? if it's monthly then something would most likely be coming out within this or next month. Why would this one single man say something like this if it wasn't coming out soon?
What the hell is he talking about? "We'll find something to do with it." It makes him sound like he's not so sure what the hell he's going to do with it.
Well they said THEY had something planned. I wouldn't be surprised if it was CS though.
I can see them reselling the game on DVD with custom maps included. It would be pretty sweet to buy it in a store and get mods and maps out of the box.
spv2 :mech2:Quote:

Prometheus is gunna be released.
Nitro I don't think has anything to do with Bungie anymore, he still pops on AIM every once in a while though.
Interrogate him!Quote:

Something to do with GBX I think.
If it was Cerebrum, why would they go through the trouble of making it seem like a surprise or something we don't already know about? Couldn't they have just mentioned it on the podcast if it was Cerebrum they were talking about?
I'm not claiming to "know" Bungie over any other person in the community, don't put words in my mouth :P
But yeah, anyone remember Randy talking about some super project he had the opportunity to lead in (or take part in, in some way, anyway)? The one that only needed a few key, but really talented people (at least then). How long ago was that...
There were mentions of the source code. I couldn't tell who it was though I wonder what it meant when they mentioned it...Quote:

Ummm....so what is Cerebrum? Too exhausted to read the pages and decipher the information but it sounds like something from X-Men. :v: And why should we hold on to our copies of Halo/CD keys?
You speak as if we're the only people the podcast is intended for. There's an ocean of Bungie fans who don't even have Halo CE, or Halo PC for that matter.Quote:

1.) unlocked h2v HEK (very unlikley)
2.) upgraded engine
3.) Halo 3 PC (WOOT)
4.) Beta for some upcoming game? (prolly not)
5.) Open source (again highly unlikley)
6.) Custom edition 2 (epic)
7.) Halo 3 reach beta (No.)
8.) Chance to win recon (prolly)
9.) ?????
10.) profit!!!
11.) Cerebrum (whatever the hell it is..)
sorryz :(Quote:

It's probably nothing too exciting, so I'm not getting my hopes up.
This would cause a bunch of problems.Quote:

That would be really gay because I already bought that :(Quote:

Since we'll obviously need a key maybe they looking to release more development tools like a hek2 lol, but most of us have already made enough apps that are probally better than bungies.Quote:

They'll make us play bingo!
or
If your cd key is THIS! You've won our recognition! AND you've just lost your cd-key thanks to our public announcement.
I heard the word feature when they were all talking at once

p.s. listening to the whole thing now...
Almost done with it.
I can almost guarantee that it's just going to be a shameless Recon Armor plug.
It could be an update. If you listen right before they talk about the cd key they he says that they look back and examine halo pc atleast once a year.Quote:

And they have a good reason to look back to the original.Quote:

But in all seriousness, it's the foundation, the basis for the Halo games released/and coming up.
And it is still the best one to date.
