The day has came which most halo players have been dreading for years.
GameSpy will stop hosting for Halo / HaloCE servers. This means you will no longer be able to go onto the server list.
According to the GameSpy website 'Effective May 31, 2014, GameSpy will cease providing all hosting services for all games still using GameSpy.'
So why is this a bad thing? Well, a huge part of gaming is playing with other people, and without being able to see which servers are populated, no one will play. There will be no more laggy Mexicans, no more noobs, no more fun. New players will not see any servers so will not bother playing. You will also have to know the IP address for every server you will want to play in.
Halo has had a good life guys. But unless someone does something drastic soon, halo will die within the next 6 months. I can not imagine even 1/8th of the people playing today playing without the lobby. I've seen how quickly other games die without the most basic server browser. It's going to be a horrific end to what I can only class as my favourite FPS ever.
RIP HALO - thank you for the memories.

I'm sure that someone will do something. Even Halo trial has a mod with a new master server (from what I heard).

I hope that someone will do it, Halo CE will never die

Halo is not the only epic game, which is going to shut down :'(
Here's a list....

Games like SWBF2,Crysis, CoH, BFBC2 ..... shutdown .....

As they solved ps2 issues with games like Project: Snowblind with a 3rd party program, I'm pretty sure they someone will gain courage to do something against this, or solve the problem.
Or, we have to make a page, something like "Halo servers.. Name | IP"
So retards are kinda left out from that idea, which I support.
Also, with HAC2 you can copy, and even bookmark servers, so... that's an option too
I hope that's just an april fools' joke, with a distyped date, or something like that

Don't forget about Xfire and http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=66 (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=66)

There are only a hand full of people who are capable of solving this problem. On top of that, there's only a handful of people who could put it into action. I have big doubts.
-
I heard that creators of SAPP and HAC2 are already working on something.
-
Yes, but that will require everyone to install a modification to the game.
A lot of players won't know that and we will lose tons of players because of this.
The best solution is to keep the gamespy system running or have an official solution.
I'm trying to get in to contact with gamespy to see if we can take over their services.
Anyway some guy just asked me to sign this:
https://www.change.org/petitions/steam-adopt-halo-combat-evolved-custom-edition-multiplayer#share
Might just as well sign it ;)

Someone should sign it as Master chief^^
-
We should spread the word by contacting gaming news websites (for example ign) and newspapers.
I've already submitted this to a Dutch IT news site which also posted about the gamespy shutdown.

I have played Halo Trial online multiplayer for years. because i didnt know about Halo Ce. there was a Patch for it so we could see all the servers on Halo trial in the list. it was made by Tavrin the leader of the ?XHS? clan. i dont know if it is possible or diffecult to make a patch for Halo Ce to fix the server list?

HAC2 will have update which will use new master game server. Also, the guy who made patch for halo trial also made it for halo ce. You can stop worrying now.

I've tried to get email contact with gamespy but they have not responded.
Last week I send a letter to their HQ in San Francisco and to their office in London, but I haven't heard anything back so far.
