This was originally posted at http://www.h2vista.net but I thought that I might as well post it here.

And before I start posting anything I would like to point out (for all those nibs who don't investigate what games the movies are of), THIS IS HALO CE this is not Halo 2 or Halo 3, it is Halo: Custom Edition[b] on sanctuary (either a rip or a remake, I'm not going to say because I don't know).

So now I bring you,

Halo CE - Halo 3-Styled "Backpack" Weapons:

So what do you think? And yes I know it looks a helluva lot like Halo 2, but it is not.

Holy crap, they did a fantastic job. I never thought they'd make it so that Custom Edition would look so similar to Halo 2. I especially like the backpack weapons. This is very interesting.

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

Hopefully, in H2V, though, we will be able to use this as a foundation for something that has animations as well.

Still, awesome.

Except that Halo 1 isn't open-sourced, yet.

Having weapons on your back doesn't look very good, to be honest.

I wish they had an animation for changing weapons.

That map looks good, but I can't get over how similar that biped looks like to the one in Halo 2.

Btw, anyone could tell this is Custom Edition. It still has that Combat Evolved feel to it.

Ya, I've been following that mod for a long time now, and I thought it was dead. But it seams they still kept going and are doing a kick ass job of it.

Those are the best models I've ever scene, from my point of view they even beat CMT bipes and models.

Keep it up!

CMT Mod team leader

Those models are all ripped, it's Leet's H2 Conversion. He has like, almost everythign ported over. He's also on CMT, so expect to see backpacks in the new CMT MP maps.

The mods forums have been dead for months, I thought they stopped. Did they relocate?

If you mean HaloMods, that's old news.

H2V will hopefully put some life back into the modding community.

Really though, the same old H2 conversions are getting old. Its great and all, but I think most mappers would agree that we've gotten to a point where our imagination goes farther than that engine can handle. There are exceptions *cough* Church *cough*

One word: scripts.

A few more words:

Annoying scripts that checks and checks and changes and changes. =)

Basically:

The basic concept of the script is:

1. Check to see if you have the weapon at all
2. Check to see if you do not have the weapon readied
3. Set your model permutation accordingly

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

That was awesome. I wonder if you can get that map anywhere?

I highly doubt it. It looks great, especially for CE. Zi wouldnt call it "backpacking" I like to think of it as a series of specialized clips/ magnets that hold a weapon on, and can be turned on and off with a simple thought.
Also, after much examination, the "Mark VII" may be the Mark V in higher def. The gauntlet shape is similar, and Halo: Combat Evolved didnt make great use of its engine. maybe some overlays and a little imagination you could see resemblance. His Mark VI may have had its fusion pack damaged.
