Pardon Our (CMT's) Ignorance.

Did you read Dennis's PM? Obviously not, because there's more bad than good.

You're obviously not going to see any other side of the argument, other than your own.

I'm not downloading a 10GB mod, hence the reason I refuse to touch FakeFactory's monstrosity for Half-Life 2. It may look great, but it's a goddamn waste of space.

Well, I got some good news for you then, because when rared the mod is only going to be about a gig and a half.

Well rather than attack me, why don't you explain to me how Dennis's points aren't valid and worth listening to.

Personally I think more people would download the mod if it were 3gb as opposed to 10 gb (example figures). I also believe that if the mod were less limited, that would also get more downloads. And the people with difficulties running halo ce already have most likely given up on the game, so there's no use in catering to them (considering they're a small minority anyway, even if they haven't given up on it). Placing a single .dll file is as easy as placing maps in the map folder. If that's not enough for you, it could be made even easier if you'd simply make an install for the entire mod to simplify the process further, thereby eliminating the need for a readme and the use of half a brain to understand what you're supposed to do to get the mod to work.

Ima go stab Flyinrooster for lyin to me. brb

When I was talking to you, I was using example figures. If you want to look at the real file sizes, then I'd much rather download 400mb instead of 1.5gb.

I'm surprised that he, as a webmaster, is willing to subject himself to more bandwidth rape in exchange for playability.

That actually surprised me a bit too. Then again, he really has given a lot to the community with the hosting he's provided all these years... Without him, Halo CE probably wouldn't have existed as long as it has.

[Jean-Luc]

Does the human being reason? No; he thinks, muses, reflects, but does not reason...That is, in the two things which are the peculiar domain of the heart, not the mind,--politics and religion. He doesn't want to know the other side. He wants arguments and statistics for his own side, and nothing more.

May not be politics or religion, but the idea still applies.

Well you believed Barack Obama was a Muslim, so I don't really care what you "personally believe". The point is, placing a single DLL file that doesn't work on the majority of computers isn't an option we want to follow. You say use an installer, majority of people aren't going to use an installer, and it still doesn't solve the problem of systems that are incompatible with OS.

Its still a huge waste of space.
