Creating PC based Halo servers?
Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2004 2:12 pm
Hey guys, I'm acutally more interested in this for Halo 2 than Halo, but its worth discussing regardless....
I know for a few games (such as Tribes: Aerial Assault and Star Wars: Battlefront on the PS2), the developers took the game, took at all of the character models/everything that wasn't needed and created a server application to be run on PCs for dedicated servers for PS2 owners to connect to.
I'm just wondering how possible this is for Halo or Halo 2. Is it possible?
It would be a much better way of hosting games, and it would make hosting permanent games much easier, and would possibly open the door to more than 16 players.
Is this possible at all?
Thanks for your input
