But as soon as everyone masses to 1.04, wouldn't people start halobooming again? What you're saying does make sense, but it's like believing that if everyone all of a sudden start buying macs, they would stay virus free.

If everyone starts halobooming again, then that's a reason for all those who can to go back to 1.08. Crackers get what they deserve then.
+rep. Relying on this mod to bring more players to the current version and acting like the police in the community by not supporting players who have cracked versions I think is stupid. Plus, there are players who have bought the game who play on earlier versions, and I don't want to force them to change and to go play with less people.Originally Posted by Masterz1337

But - is it really a matter of if? If it just takes one nerd raeging in kid to crash all the servers (correct me if i'm wrong), wouldn't it be easier in the long run to just have everyone update to 1.08?
In theory it would be nice if everyone could, but relying on the mod for that to happen is impractical.
I don't see what the big fuss is over the versions, but wouldn't you want to try for 1000 players in CE one last time?
Anyways, good luck on your release CMT.
And you should be the one releasing for the newer version so they have a reason to switch. I can't believe you just played that card, saying that the LEGAL population is AT FAULT. What a fucking dick.
Thinking people will not update their game to play this is bullshit. I actually think they have a fairly large legal population, but the reason they stay there is because they are pussies. They have the same thought process as you - that they should just play 1.04 because it has more players as opposed to 1.08 - instead of thinking that by playing 1.08, you'd be increasing the numbers and making any further reason to play on 1.04 a null argument. If people update to 1.08, they won't be playing with less people. They would be playing with the hundreds of people who updated for the mod and actually speak English.
If there's someone who wants to play this, they will update their game. It is just like having to install CE. With your dumbass logic, why don't we just say why not make this for Halo PC instead? SCREW HALO CE! It has 1/3 the population of Halo PC, so they are the minority here! We can get THOUSANDS to play it then and they won't have to install Halo CE!
I'm actually unsure of something here: who are you doing this for?
On one hand, you are catering to the scum of the CE population and taking it up the ass from them. You are sacrificing advanced features and benefits to CE so those who never bought the game can play it. This is utterly pathetic of you. On the other, you are doing this in your own self-interest. You want to see more people play what you have worked on. The bigger the numbers, the happier you are?
So is this an act of selfishness, or selflessness?
You should really make this the best it can possibly be. Pull out all the stops, release a separate easy installer for the mod, and have it install alongside HCE. For me, it's quality over quantity.
Thank you goatse
jcap has spoken
The thing is, what reason is there to play 1.08 anyway, other than some memory hacks out there?
I can't believe we are having a debate on how SPV2 should be for 1.08 ONLY when the team has ALREADY put extra effort into giving 1.08ers features like HIJACKING.
The majority of the team works on the mod for fun, we're not doing it to save the game, and we're not doing it to save this community. In fact, most of the team (not naming any names) looks down at the community with great disdain, and you guys are now doing exactly what you laughed at people like Recon Devastator for doing, acting like we owed him something or it's our job to help people. Except you all are trying to take advantage of our "fame" to get more players on a version of the game, which frankly you are the majority playing.
