Why was Halo Combat Evolved So Successful?

  • Had a dedicated server that allowed the Admin/Host to kick and ban user’s “IN GAME”. Was able to auto kick user’s for being Idle. You were able to auto rotate the maps. You were able to have a Server Name in the Server Browser. - You had a fully functional Server Browser. - Great Game Play. - Was able to make custom maps that were saved on you local hard drive. - Bungie had their act together when It came to Halo Combat Evolved.Just to name a few things.
    I just wish 343I had their act together. IMHO If 343I wants to have the PC gaming community to get into the Halo franchise they better get out of the console mindset and get into a PC mindset. I have been a PC gamer since 1998 and always will be. If 343I comes out with Halo 6 for the PC they better have the basics I mentioned above about Halo Combat Evolved in Halo 6 for the PC. If not Halo 6 for the PC will fail IMHO. I know for a fact after talking to other PC user’s about these issues and other issues for Halo Forge for the PC. I for one will NOT buy Halo 6 for the PC if it comes out if it does not have the basics that Halo Combat Evolved had. I ran a Halo Combat Evolved Server for 5 years. I loved that game. That is why we need the above basics in Halo 6 for the PC because I don’t need the aggravation like I’m getting in Halo 5 Forge For The PC
    Just my 2 cents! :wink:

To be fair, Halo CE became so successful because of coming out in a era when gaming on pc was just becoming a thing. Having a great campaign story and a fun multiplayer other than modding compatibility made it easily spread across the internet.

Nowdays the gaming market is entirely different.
