all of the above, especially considering HI pretty much just turned into HR, all the active members went from HI to HR.

Intro is done right?
Good.
Any information on whether or not this thing means anything?

**Morkon2112** · July 16th, 2009 11:18 PM

what intro?

I find it interesting that Marathon was released in 94, and the source was released in 2000. If you do the math, that should line up with Halo PC's release in 03 and now. Probably just coincidence, but theres always a slight possibility...right?

It's not bungies to open source, and they've already stated that it won't be happening.

**Morkon2112** · July 16th, 2009 11:38 PM

i kinda figured that was the case... how big of a job would fixing the netcode be?

**Masterz1337** · July 16th, 2009 11:41 PM

It doesn't need to be fixed, there's already a lag less net code programed for it on some drive at GBX.

I'm not sure about the HaloPC codebase (since MS contracted GBX to do that code) but Halo's code before then is their code, and I doubt Bungie would let MS claim full ownership of it.

All I remember from Bungies announcement of them seperating from MS was that they lost the rights to the Halo IP. I'm not one to know much about who would then get rights to the code of games based on the Halo IP, but I guess it is possible for Bungie to have rights to it. Its not like MS would want to restrict Bungies rights to a now ancient game, they're too worried about selling xboxes and making the next halo
