New Mombasa - Classic for Halo Custom Edition was supposed to be released tonight at 12:00 Eastern time, but............. sadly it was not. The huge map New Mombasa - Classic will be released, just not yet. There were hundreds and hundreds of Halo PC players waiting for this map, yet they were all really pissed off when they realized they weren't geting it tonight. It was pretty funny.

The difference between New Mombasa - Classic and New Mombasa - Final is that NM - C does not have any of the Halo 2 weapon, vehicle, or skin mods in it. New Mombasa - Final with all the Halo 2 mods in it will be released in a week or two. I'm just keeping you guys posted because it seems that this place is dead. Most of you reading this probably do not care, but oh well. I have no New Mombasa to play, so I might as well write this thread. : - /

I care, I have got my brother to download CE at his work for me today because my connection is too slow. He is going to burn it to CD for me, I did this just so I COULD get the Halo2 mod.

As for the Halo2 mod coming out in a week or two I doubt that, I dont know where you got that info from, please link me to it. I was at the Gbx forums today looking for any info on it.
Even though Nitro posted before the weekend saying Dblfire had assured him if all goes well it will be out by sunday, I knew it wouldnt be.

All im really interested in is the team releasing the tags for there weapons, which im not sure if they said they will yet. Would be a shame if they didnt.

Im guessing you one of the people who were dissapointed about the delay? Anyway, map is looking good, should be a blast.

New Mombasa (not classic) will be released at the end of the month. Mrs. Doublefire and the whole Halo 2 mod team have stated this many times that if they stay on schedule, it should be released. We are even lucky they are giving us New Mombasa classic ;) Second, they have said and I repeat that all of thier tags will be released to the public once their mod is released. How could you not trust Nitrous? They have said many times that they want this to be a community thing, and as such all things will be released.

End of the month, well its the 20th today, so that means 10 days!

Its not that I dont trust Nitrous, I dont even know the guy, why would I trust someone I dont know? Sure he and the team are making what looks to be a cool mod and they have talent, but I wont be like the majority of people and kiss there ass and treat them like gods just because there making a good mod.

Thats good they are releasing the tags, I dont go there alot, only to check for info about the mod or CE. Either way man, I dont trust anything anyone says about releases until I see the actual release! Why? This threads topic is a good reason!

ahhh, but that is the thing. Some of us actually read their posts, and have had many a chat with them (dorectly and indirectly). The Halo 2 mod team will not disappoint, even if the game is a couple days late. Im sure that you never get excited about anything if you dont trust release dates (as in Halo 2??) JK, but honestly, Mrs. Doublefire and Nitrous are some of the greatest people I know (online) and thats saying alot!

Ahh, Doublefire is finished with 50% of the portals. That means it will be released tomorrow night or wednesday. I read this on the gearbox forums, so I can give you a link if you want.

I remember Suprme Taco saying that it would be done once Kerhalla finished the ATV skin. I know I keep going off topic when this is about the NM map and not the H2 mod.
