LOL. Here you will find that a 14 year old kid is planning on making a prequel to halo. He claims that he is gonna ask bungies permission to do make this game and he is claiming to have a team of environmental artists and the like. Oh but he isn’t starting to make the game first. First he is gonna make the case and the book then start work on the game. Also it will supposedly support 16 players online!

Well, the site is impressive. The proposed name sucks, and the kid is offering no money to the designers until the game makes money. I want to know if he even realizes how much capital is required to get it produced once, and if, the game actually gets finished. He obviously doesn't have a great deal of money, he is using a free website and a free email. So he doesn't have a server for the site even.

Bingo! Ive sent you one.If anyone else wants to post anything here please email me!
Or send me a message

My e-mail is on the official site for the team:

We need bungies permission for this game. The games name will be set from the book Fall of Reach, we are still planing on story mode but it depends. What would you guys rather have? Loads of mutliplayers levels with xbox live enabled on the title or multiplayer levels with xbox live enabled and a story mode.

The game will be avaible to buy online firstly. Once we get the team organized any bungies permissions we'll be getting pre-orders settled out. Thanks.

Shortman or your xbox live tag: Flame of Honour...
Really now...

If this game came out you would get it. I know you would. It would be a big success, Bungie would get all information about it. Xenon-designs where going to be called 'Mini-bUnGiE' though considering we would be making other games expect a pre-quel to halo in the future we decided on making it xenon-designs. Look I have a talented bunch of people who are working together on the new website. Im already getting people who actually want to beta test already. My brother has 3 years experiene with:
Maya
Quark express
corldraw
microstation
microstation tri forma
photoshop 7
autocad
brcye
3d studio max 5
architural desktop 2.0
pixar renderman

There you go. One talented person down, 30 more environmental people left. Programmers? Still nothing

First and foremost, no one is talking behind your back, if you are going to pretend to be a professional, act like it. This is an opinion forum.

Second, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into. A few games here and there like Halo: Blood Covenant, are fine and easily attainable goals. Bungie will not let you put out that game. It cuts into a profit margin.

And consider this, the type of talent required to make the game even as good as the first Halo, or even Goldeneye for that matter, is expensive. That kind of talent rarely (if ever) takes pro bono cases. Meaning you probably arent going to get workers that are worth their salt for free, even if it is supposed to be temporary. ( The term if you hadn't noticed is pro bono, NOT freelance. Freelancers still get paid, they just do the work in their off time.

Third, since it is essentially a Microsoft property, you won't have the option of where it sells from. If Microsoft ever did agree to take a hit on profit just for your game, it would go where THEY want it to go, not you.

Think this out first, kiddo. It's a lot more involved than you think...

I thank you for that...
Yes, I know what Im getting myself into. And I dont want it to go that way. I basicly just wanna make a mod maps for halo on the pc or xbox. Like make a mod package for Halo on the PC then make one afterwards for the XBOX. Yes Halo is a great game, and there is no way I could develop a game such good to that standards unless I was actually part of the bungie team. Anyhows for that momment. Xenon-designs will be a mod designing unit for now on. I have thought it through. Yes I agree. I cant do it. Though, I wanted to be able to just make a simple Halo game just to let people to enjoy it. I was hoping to use actually the orginal game, just to mod it though. Thats my only option really now. Thanks for the feedback!

Moded maps are without doubt great fun to play on. Though It would be good if they where a bit pro-er. I want my maps to stand out upon all the others basicly. I want them to be fun like Blood Gluch.

Thanks for the site feedback!

Can you actually mod the story-mode version?

I don't know about this, Modding the Story mode on PC would be neat. I would like to see it, I just didn't want you to get discouraged by trying to do something that takes professionals millions of dollars to do. I seriously doubt you will be able to do anything for the XBox however. But best of wishes, and good luck.

This would mean:
New animations to replace the old ones.

I would be hard but I'll give it a go. If I cant ill just work away on like about 20+ level downloads for Halo in my spare time. My team will work on some of this stuff.
Ill still make it a pre-quel anyhow. And the multiplayer levels will be set back in time also. I was thinking of having A red-vs-blue special edition level and a desert island one.

Yeah, right.

Halo is owned by Bungie...no -blam!-. IMO, ONLY Bungie should make Halo games (thats why Halo PC sucked, b/c Gearbox made it). Just look at Bungie, dude...think of how many people they have, how skilled all those people are, and all the people who made Halo and are making Halo 2. Now, you honestly think, in your head, that you can actually create a game good enough to have the name "Halo" on it? Sorry kid...but no freakin' way. Don't permit this dreamer to make the "game", Bungie...it will disgrace the Halo name.

LEAVE HALO GAMES TO BUNGIE!!!

Er, so he's making some maps / a mod for Halo that takes place in the Halo universe... Sure, just don't expect any money from it. That's the excessive part.

And Zero117, how exactly does Halo PC suck?... Since Gearbox only ported it back to PC, I don't see why the XBox port wouldn't suck too.
