Open Source Halo Dedicated Server

[Craig]

I don't know but it seems to me like you guys might as well look up some reverse engineering references and reverse-engineer the whole dedicated server thing.

Of course we will need to reverse engineer certain parts of the dedicated server to understand how it handles data, but we will not make a 100% copy of the server (will be nearly impossible), but are trying to improve what gearbox originally did, and create as close to an official dedicated server as possible.

You are extremely bound to the constraints of an unmodified client. There is only so much you can do without modifying the client to accept new features.

I never said we were not constrained by the client, I stated that we will have to work with the existing features of the client, but expand the server. (read my post properly)
