Hello everyone,
I am hesitant to post this here based on mixed feelings about the expansion and continued development on Halo: Combat Evolved, but truly believe this needs to be posted, so Im going to try to convince some of the nay sayers here that this is worthwhile.
We (Myself, Sean Aero, and Btc22) have been discussing viable alternatives to help breathe new life into this old game and its community.
One of the suggestions was of course an open source alternative to the halo dedicated server, now it doesnt sound very exciting at first glance, as its only a server right?..
Wrong, the server is the key component to online play and competition and is the fundamental part of the halo community, and we believe it plays a crucial role, not only to players, but to administrators and commercial server hosts alike.
To save me having to copy/paste, more details are located here
Now its starting to look like something worthwhile, not only does this give developers chance to experiment with online play in halo more than they used to, but it gives us a chance to create new experiences, add new features, the ability to customize your server more than you ever could before, to suit your personal tastes and those that play on your server.
Now as with a project of this scale, it requires a huge amount of time and effort, and will require people of exceptional skill and motivation in order to make this happen.
If you are believe you will be beneficial for this project, please read this, or have some feedback you can post here, or post on the project forums (will be there more often).
