Gamers Rally to Save Halo PC Scene Before GameSpy Closure

GamerZines writes:

On May 31st, the multiplayer framework GameSpy will shut down for good, leaving numerous online communities without any means to play their favourite game of choice.

Those who play Halo: Combat Evolved on PC are one such community, and they aren't taking the impending destruction of their online competitive shooter of choice lying down.

Could this be part of the reason that Microsoft /might/ be re-releasing the halo titles on steam? Just maybe? I hope they do. I'll buy the games again to have a blast with friends!

Probably not. Halo CE. had dedicated servers through gamespy. You could have mods and all sorts of goodies. Any speculation of microsoft releasing halo on steam is pure speculation without any merit.

Steam would host the dedicated servers if they brought it over.

I say yes. Noting the reasonable success of Age of Empires HD they are now working with Valve/Hidden Path to build a Steam powered version of Age of Mythology titled with Extended edition.

Hidden Path is no stranger to FPS genre. CS:GO works pretty well most of the time. They could bring it over no problem really. Microsoft knows gamers will still want to play the games online. I personally believe if they bring Halo 3 to PC it would be a big sales success even with its age. Working with Valve would be the best option. They likely could enhance the game to some degree.

RIP Gamespy servers... I played online on Wii and I also played Halo PC.

I remember using map editors and altering physics and allowing the warthogs to be driven and fire missiles. Flying hogs ftw.

GentlemenRUs3685d ago

Not fair! This was a great game to play online...

HaMM4R3685d ago

I used to have so much fun playing custom edition with friends. This game was the best.

The Callisto Protocol has some gross ones as did the Doom, Dead Space, and Quake games.

That had to be one of the worst list I have ever seen.. The flood from Halo makes the list? Left for dead? Terrible list… they didn’t even mention silent hill or Bloodborne. Obviously they haven’t played too many games.
