Hey Bungie and Bungie members, most, if not ALL of you are unaware I make maps for Halo Custom Edition with a friend of mine, I come here today with a few things I want to ask bungie.

The map used in the pre-xbox halo trailer has sparked an idea I have for a single player style map for custom edition, what I am asking bungie is if they would provide the weapon, projectile, and other tags for the map as well as the marine, blind wolf (will become non rideable if I can make them so) and the strange beasts bipeds and "bone structures"
I don't know if you're willing to allow me to have and use the tags, but I wanted to recreate the pre-xbox halo level. here is what I am at:

The level starts out with the opening cut scene where the two elites get sniped by the master chief. the player plays as a marine, during which he/she will be in 3rd person to allow them to see alittle better. movement will have restrictions as the marine "bone structure" doesn't allow for horizontal movement.

The level has less of a grim ending than the trailer's, the player ends the level by accessing the interior of the structure, but the level of resistance will be high as the covenant will of course be trying to hold down the forerunner complex.

Yes the idea sounds confusing, but the main reason I want to do this is to allow people to see it, I know bipeds can be scripted to preform in a manner (thus making them AI), such as making a blind wolf a neutral creature and the spine beasts will be as well. the water is easy to add the effects to such as if you throw a grenade at it, the grenade lands in the water, doesnt bounce but floats there for a few seconds then sinks.

I also like the old Assault Rifle's look and sound which is another eason why im making this

peace for now

I don't have it for PC, but this sounds great! Give it a shot.

You can download tags for the "Starnge beast" I think someone recreated it. PM me for the link if you want, I can't say the site here or it will be deleted as advertising.

How about creating your own tags?

No way are they going to give out their tags to some unknown independent developer.

because 1, creating that large beats with very little to no actual model of it other than what you see in the trailer is hard to base a original model on. second I cannot replicate the AR sound properly. third I'm not a independent developer my friend, map making for custom edition is common, if you really want to see a mapping team that steals Bungie models for maps, might I suggest looking at th Custom Edition mapping team known as "ZTeam" every map they have made has ripped Halo 2 tags, BR, bipeds, etc...

I'm asking, I'm not demanding for the tags. so get this straight Lodex: unless you can make a map or produce something worthwhile then shush when it comes to map making.

anyways...

I toyed with this idea:

After finding the "control room" for the forerunner structure you enter, A "The Maw" style countdown timer starts up, and you have to defend your position till the clock hits 00:00, that is when reinforcements arrive as well as the pelican that allows you to end the level.

peace for now and I'll take you up on that strange beast tags thing, mind uploading it to halomaps though?
