You'll always be able to direct connect to a server. That's why I made mention about not listing any of the 1.0 and 1.04 servers. The game would still work for directly connecting and LAN, but it would not provide a server list.

I really want to change the direction of this thread back to finding CD keys. If you can find a LEGIT Halo CD key that is not on that list, post it here. (+rep for posts)

I was planning on making a thread similar to this eventually. We need to blacklist all the CD keys ourselves from our system (and to add to the global banlist). Then, no keys can slip through the cracks.
