Halo PC/CE now just that bit more safe from piracy!

Because everyone on 1.00 is a mexican.

I was completely serious with this statement, and if you don't believe me go play on 1.00. I'm not fucking joking around here at all, the entire playerbase is mexicans.

So hry why don't you get your shit straight before you even touch the rep system again. Ok, thanks.

well.. more like mexican+south american if you want to nitpick.


It'd be nice to have a bigger playerbase, but we'd be sacrificing quallity for quantity (and the quality of the current players is dubious at best). I like HCE as much as anyone here, but the only people left are either elitist fuckheads (you know, the ones that type 'headshot' every chance they get or can't stop ROFL'ing anytime you might actually kill them since they can only attribute their deaths to a lucky shot) or people who love to play nothing but stock maps.

I still can't figure out what it is about BG that never fails to attract people like flies to stink...

Freelancer don't be a idiot. If you get him to disable 1.00 and 1.04 you would be the sole person responsible for killing Halo CE.

You would not only eliminate 95% of the pirates. You would eliminate 95% of the player base.

I don't really care about people pirating, but...

Why would we give a shit about killing the player base of the old versions? Almost everyone here and in the various other CE communities plays on 1.08. Also, as already pointed out, killing the old versions would actually result in an increase of the 1.08 player base. How would disabling them kill CE? You think the life of this game relies on those old versions? What...? The state of the game has always been gauged based on the player base of the current version.

this man is right. all arguments for 1.00 are null and void.

So you can't DC to pirated servers when you're banned from the master server?

[jcap]

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.

I'm more for getting rid of people using 1.00 and 1.04 being able to retrieve a server list so that we can get some of the legit owners of CE from those versions to 1.08.

This.

I think it would be awesome if they replaced the real server list with a list of fake server entries that said "PLEASE UPGRADE TO 1.08"

[Higuy]

hi
can we just force make them all go to 1.08 somehow instead of banning them
bye
