Most custom weapons/vehicles aren't piss pore. Excluding the Longsword.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

The problem with the longsword is that there aren't any levels big enough to support the speed, power, size, and use of it, in both campaign and multiplayer. Same with the pelican, it's just too clunky and big, and the bsp and collision just plain sucks.

i meant the AI....i have found thru years of experience that...unfortunately...third party mods, without years of fixing, plainly suck

I hate to say it because i am a big fan of half-life 2 and its "modability"

its just that most cool mods or tweaks...or AI for that matter...just isn't good without a bunch of work

Same with the pelican.

I resent that. The pelican on coldsnap is perfectly balanced and flyable. Most people just can't compromise for the constant downward thrust.

But, the collision just sucks, you have to admit that much. But, yeah, your right, but Coldsnap, is one of the only ones, I would say is big enough in both Halo, and Halo 2. Hope Halo 3 does better, heard there is finally a human counter-part to the banshee that will playable. (Probably not the longsword though, unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong, about the longsword part.)

The LS would be fine with me if it didn't have unlimited rockets that fired at the speed of a pistol. I'm cool with the nuke and the fact that it has a large amount of armor. Just the missiles. God.

I am sorry to make this huge bump, but this would be pretty useful for anyone not knowing what the Debug Menu does.

For the people that are lazy, the objects placed on the map loaded in Sapian, will NOT be compiled into the scenario, it will simply not appear in the map. Also objects referenced in the Debug Menu (Like the drop object function for the FLOOD JUGGERNAUT.) are not in the tags folder because Pi Studios didn't give us a proper tag set to use. Almost all tags that are in all the Halo 2 default maps, are not in the tags folder. So we cant do, basically, anything.
Even the Halo 2 Map Editior help file lied to us, those files it said was there? Not there. What about the Tools? Are they any better? Take a look at GBX and PI Studios.

GBX had great tools, and with a little help, they turned out to be better than ever. With Guerilla, you could make any tag and edit any tag. With Sapian, you could edit almost everything. And with Tool....well....you know where I'm trying to go.

Pi Studios gave us some.......primitive tools. No debugging feature in Halo? Thats a no no.
Sapian that cant compile scripts? No AI? Nada. Completely striped down of its greatness.
What about Guerilla? Almost no capability of making new tags and editing tags. The first Guerilla had more tag making and editing features than this Guerilla anytime.
And Tool....Hell, the first tool was better than this. It had more commands than this tool ever had.

What I am trying to say, is that Pi Studios gave us some crappy tools to work with.

We should of let GBX handle this......

Whatever that dude said is probably true. I know nothing about the modding crap and a few people started talking about getting working AI and vehicles with this thing on the h2v forums, and I totally go for it.

To the guy who said most third party mods suck: Uh... haha you haven't seen Halo CE mods then..

And about H2: Modding sucks now. In about a month or so, it will pwn, due to the efforts of some crafty individuals...
