Halo Dedicated Server (Pre-Release) Available
Okay, here's the deal. Bungie and Gearbox didn't wanna let you folks spend the weekend without a dedicated server for Halo PC - so they're seeding you with a pre-release version. It runs nicely, it's just a bit rough on the front end. You'll want to read the installation instructions very carefully for details on setup - and be aware that there is not yet support for remote management. (You have to have access to the server itself to make changes. RCON is coming.) We've put up a mirror page, and listed a pair of our own servers for hosting this - but what we really need is mirrors - and lots of them. This is a 100+ mb file, and a lot of people are gonna want it... Please, once you've got a copy, if you've got the bandwidth, make it available somewhere and send us a link. (BitTorrent links are appreciated, as well; we haven't put up a seed, but we're happy to point to one, if someone else can host it.) Update: A couple more mirrors have come online: FileRush has put up a BitTorrent seed, and WorthPlaying has the file on a number of servers. (Links for both are on the mirror page - and the mirror page mirror, on www.bungie.org.) Keep 'em coming! The more mirrors there are, the smaller the cost for everyone helping out! Update 2: The mirrors keep pouring in - you guys rock. :) From this point on, simply visit either copy of the mirror page; the list now is up to 9 sites (some with multiple mirrors) for http downloads, and two sites for BitTorrent seeds. We're always happy for more, of course! (Louis Wu 19:51:01 UTC)
