If only that were possible...

It would be one long game.

Turn off the time limit and have everyone cluster...

On lockout no sheilds rockets instant respawn near enemy with nades and no time limit or kill limit. Or make it CTF...

Yea. That or Midship. That's a pretty small map.

Midship:
8 player-KotH-no teams-starting nades-random start weps-no weps on map-10 minute win-no respawn time-no moving hill

=

Lag and uber extreme awsomeness fun. And Midship's center under the bridge gets dyed jet black dotted with brightly colored weapons. I dare you to stay alive for more than 30 seconds. Its hard.

Do you have an Xbox now or something?

Sword and Deox better not be greedy and keep their "God Modder" titles.

We need to learn too so that nice looking "new" maps can get out faster, and so that there is a larger variety of them.

I'm going to be honest with you: about a year ago, when this forum was basicaly the greatest HDmoding site on the web, you guys were a little...how do i say this politly...smug about having people learn the hard way on their own with minimal help. that's really kind of brought about the imminent death of HD modding. But i do agree. if there is anyway to save modding, there must be...sacrafices...knowledge made public, Gods coming to the level of n00bs to let them join their ranks...so on.

Oh, and to anyone who cares, Rhombicosidodectuple is not a real word.

No, but LAN fests at freinds house are da 1337 hax! Fun to play Zombies, SWAT, CTF, slayer, that gametype, etc. Whatever we think of.

Post by **>Shadow<** » Fri May 18, 2007 5:15 pm

Yea, I do that nowadays too.

Zombies with split screen and 4 people is so much fun.

Has Anyone read this guy's post? He seems to have an opinion here! We need to read and think about it. If it's good or bad is up to you. After all, the world is ruled by opinions.

What I think we need here is one of 2 things, or possibly both to save modding the Halo Demo.
1. We need a nitty gritty, very bottom, absolute basic tutorial for 3 day old modders like myself. Something to get us off slowly, and to help us build from there. Possibly even a group of experienced modders who are willing to take the time to help individual noobs (Like Me

) and get them going. I have gotten this kind of help from Syperium, with my little "Vehicle Substitution" topic.

2. If anyone here has ever played or even heard of a game called Marathon, now Aleph One, (a predecessor to Halo, it's logo is in Halo's, multiple similarities, ect.) there was a tool brought out called "Forge" which was an all in itself Marathon map maker and editor. Now it is far less sophisticated (requires classic, goes with a game a decade old), but the principle of this is an easy way to make and edit a map. We NEED something like this made for Halo/Halo Demo. It would make it a lot easier for folks to take it up overnight (Maybe not exactly, but you get the idea), make it fun, and not cause people's brains to go in a loop like mine does when staring at HexEdit.

That is what I think we should do. What we need to do. I know there are experienced programmers out there, and on this site, who with the proper patience and encouragement could do this.

Think about it,

I love marathon! Do you have a link to Forge? I still have OS 9

Yesterday I was playing against my bro online. Flame-thrower in marathon is so much cooler than in Halo.
