Ok people, this is all about Halo CE thread. In my disgust about why halo CE is dead, I am starting a new thread of why Halo CE isnt dead. Plz feel free to voice ur own opinions.
1. Halo CE has been out for a month. No advertising or campaigning has been going on. it needs time and is already beggining to flourish.
2. Two words: Custom Content. The newest levels that have been released lately have been awesome, especially Baka's newest one. It could rival any of the old levels from halo PC. As well, most of the tricks to making stuff work (flying warthogs, breaking glass etc) has been figured out, allowing amazing things to be done to newer levels.
3. Now that Halo CE has been out for a while, tutorials on everything have been popping up. one of the best ones is Kirk4's tutorial on how to make a basic map, which is a great begginer guide to making maps and will start you on your way.
4. Open projects are now being available, like custom bases and stuff like that. The idea's are starting to flow as more people figure out how to use the HEK to thier advantage.
On to why Halo CE is better for gameplay:
1. There is no more leading needed. The netcode has been updated so it finally works properly. As well, warping is down by a huge margin. One downside is that since there are no official servers like bungie has for Halo PC, pings are not always the greatest.
2. New fast shaders can significantly help slower machines, by as much as 14% in 640*480 mode. Some people disagree whether or not they are better or worse for higher end machines.
3. IT IS CUSTOMIZABLE (is that how u spell it?) Now, if you think you can make a better map, you can go right ahead. If you really feel like it, you can customize an old map like thehe map Bloodgulch 2: The Aftermath. It is based on after Halo is destroyed. It is a ravaged Bloodgulch which is pretty cool.
Right now, that is all i have been able to come up with in my first few minutes of ranting. Plz express your opinions here, but i warn you about dissin Halo CE. I take personal offence to such stuff, especially blatant lies (like in another post *cough*). Anywho, till my next post LATER!
