Subject: Calling all H2 vista map makers!

Stealing kills in a Team Slayer match is like eating food, it all goes down the same hole

Mining and tunneling through hundreds of asteroids while shooting others who are doing the same thing. It's a game. Check it out.

I myself do not have a copy of halo 2 vista, but i was wondering why there are almost no user made maps out there. Anyways to get to the point i'm making a request...

For a group of map makers to make two maps based on alpha base and the other a reach themed map.

So thats my request. By the way if anyone asks this "If you don't have H2 vista then why make this request?", to answer this I will one day get vista and H2 vista, but i'm just trying to kick start some crazy ideas so when i do get it i'll have plenty of cool choices for custom maps.

"I myself do not have a copy of halo 2 vista, but i was wondering why there are almost no user made maps out there."

To be honest, I dont think that many people have this game.

1. It requires Vista, there goes 70 percent of the players
2. Live is buggy, there goes another 10 percent. They cant freaking login.
3. Reviews are shoddy, a 7 out of 10 at gamespot is IMO right on the money, people see that and they don't buy - another 10 percent
4. Discussion on forums that its a jacked up port with missing features and somewhat sloppy - another 5 percent or so.
ZERO feedback from M$ or Hired Bum (yes I call them that now) on issues and Live problems.

If you ask Bungie about H2V, they say "what? that didnt goto PC yet? I thought they were still working on Halo 1 for PC right ??? Definitely no help there.


That leaves not many people buying it... as evidenced by the online community.

The MOST I have seen online is around 55 people. Thats for ALL servers. And thats when the in game browser is working.
I have seen 2 custom maps online on empty servers in 3 weeks, and both times those servers are locked.

Not anything factual, just my obsservations, just my 2 cents

Try www.halomaps.org. I only got it for the editor because i was limited with the halo ce engine. The editor is very limited all you can do is make levels and bitmaps. when i mean levels i mean just the bsp or whatever its called you cant make new objects like crates unless you build it into the bsp and you cant make weapons, vehicles, characters, animations that kinda stuff the important stuff that made Halo ce special. but i will make one level and some new bitmaps before i give up and buy UT2007 and use its editor.

Halomaps is where i did go. And i found only two maps on there. But i'm pretty sure someone will crack the code so we can use pelicans scarabs and maybe even ported dracos.

I hope so i love the halo2 engine compaired to UT200x because all the game code is there all i need to do is import my models animations bitmaps.

www.halomods.com have a forum for halo2 vista and some ppl have already unlocked stuff.

Edit: You can place vehicles, weapons and crates in sapien. they gave us some stuff to play with but we can oly go so far.
