True PC multiplayer in 2003: launch game, enter MP lobby, search (dedicated) servers list, join, shoot multiple random players, and occasionally frag yourself
After May 31st: launch game, enter MP lobby, enter server IP information, join, hope there are other players to shoot. Or just frag yourself
Gamespy runs the master server. Which is what communicates with the game clients to populate the server list where you see how many potential victims are running around on what map and in what game variant. Without it, people will only be able to play with each other using direct connections (ie, IP) which they will have to know ahead of time.
Believe it or not, people still play HaloPC and Custom Edition. And Custom Edition isn't just about going and tea bagging people on Bloodgulch for the millionth time, but playing some bad and some honestly spectacular custom maps...where you can then tea bag other players.
Custom Edition: not your father's HaloCE. Thanks Gearbox :thumbsup:
In other news, aren't H2V's G4WL servers still up?
