Hey guys, I want to start doing frequent surveys / polls for feedback from the community to get a general idea of what you guys like or would want to see added. So this is kinda the first one of em. Please take a moment to fill out this survey for Project Cartographer servers and game types feedback: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1F8eB58ZL80AtGWnzd8nLpiCep-lJPGEhzKeJGJXjzjc

Also if you'd like, add anything else you may want to see in this thread.

I would like to see the ping meter return, that's it really. The rest is pretty great and you guys have done a fantastic job at this project!

FEEDBACK: First, I just want to say great job to all of you for making the original Halo 2 experience great again for many years to come! I'm staying up to date on every bit of exciting Halo 2 PC news on Discord, your Twitters (through my browser since I don't have a Twitter account), and here every day! Second, I can't wait for LIVE with the pings and voice chat to get back up and running very soon here. I will be planning on buying my first desktop computer in a few weeks! A mini gaming one that you can set on a surface or attach on the back of a monitor/TV so I can play this and other games MUCH more smoother than my laptop!

SUGGESTIONS: I'm wondering if we can add the Desolation and Tombstone maps to the servers to play on since they weren't in the list of maps when the game came out for the Vista in 2007. I'm also wanting some Multi-Team games here and there within the servers, or just a Multi-Team based server!

Keep it up, PC!

Is there a mechanism in place to ensure that people don't double up on the feedback tho ? I just submitted a second one because I think that my first one a few days ago wasn't as well informed. I mean you could have 1 guy that submits like 50 for ctf coag and bam then we only have CTF coag servers :eek: lmfao

Maybe some new maps for cloud ctf? Kind of getting bored of foundation and lockout. What about beaver creek or even midship? would make for some crazy gameplay.

And maybe some sort of fix for controller/mac issues? But maybe the porting team needs to address that? idk.

Any way to implement rankings?

1. Be able to change the game name while hosting rathar than your name being displayed.
2. Bring back the -kick option
3.Voice Chat
4.Chat room
5. Vote kicks for dedicated servers. Everyone gets to vote to boot that unruly fuck that just wants to kill his team mates.
6.Ping meter
7.Have the ability to host a modded map without being banned. Possibly a simple Modz tag in the in the game varient like RvB and GunGame
8.Have games display Top Down with the highest number of people in the game to lowest

These changes would make this game lit!

Actually, could you guys add more options for the graphic textures and models like what half life and republic commando has?

Where you can change the quality of character model textures and environment textures, I just would like the best performance on my laptop without having to look at ugly marines with no eyes.
But hey that's just an idea/suggestion you guys have done an amazing job with Halo 2 I wish we could fund this project to help you guys out.

Have a great day!

another option idea that could be added to the cartographer menu is lod distance, like what og battlefront 2 has where you can sacrifice the graphical detail from further distances to improve frame rate on the more detailed maps like felucia, just thought it would help with fps on lower end pc's for more detailed maps like district.

Have a great day!

From the main menu: Cartographer -> Advanced Settings -> Other Settings -> Static Model LoD will let you force all models to force at a specific model detail. I set mine to cinematic 'cause I've got a good setup, but setting it very low if you've got a potato and worried about performance may help, but all I've found it does is just make spartans look like they came straight out of Half-Life Deathmatch.

oh I know about that option, and the elite models look hilarious on the lowest settings, but what I mean is when you set the lod distance in Battlefront 2 to say, 50 the models and texture are normal up close but the further away it gets more fuzzy and lower in detail the environments and models get, I think its called a draw distance, I'm not sure though.

but if i'm wrong and those lod character settings work like that well thanks for answering!

This game deserves more recognition and positive feedback. It has been well made despite the technical challenges. Online play is very good considering how Halo 2 was never a fully polished game upon its release.

Suggestions:
1. Vote to kick feature: although rare, sometimes there are those who "deranking" or betraying teammates.
2. Voice chat.
3. Maybe a general chat room like in BattleNet for Starcraft/Warcraft. Of course the only problem is that there will may be bots or people spamming.
