Before I say anything, I would like to point out that I am horrible at modding, this is why I am asking to put together a team. Now, onto the project

(sorry its a little long, bare with me.)

I had posted in this forum about creating AI players for HaloPC. It is very possible. I had read a forum off Halomods.com about a guy who created a map called "The Spartan Training Arena" where there were several AI Spartan Players hunting you down. It was very intersting. Then, by matching this idea with an earlier idea removed by Bungie from Halo: Combar Evolved, I came up with something great.

The Forernners created these rings so long ago, but who says the only creatures that were living on this ring were the Flood? I have decided to recruit a team of Modders who can create an entire Animal Kingdom for the world of Halo.

We will start with one creature, then move onto more species. Each species will have their own individual characteristics including how they react with players in the game. They will not attack, they will all simply leave you alone unless they are provoked.

Just imagine for a second, Blood Gulch. Two teams in CTF. You load up a Warthog and begin to drive to the enemy base. Hitting up a hill like a ramp, you launch into the air, land then come to a screaching halt before a heard of these grazing horned creatures. One, feels threatened and lets out a call. The others react in defense and now you mount back into the Warthog and speed off before any damage is done.

Adding AI creatures will not only increase intensity of gameplay, but will also add a more alien atmosphere to your Multiplayer games.

Now, these creatures can be anything from very aggressive plants to massive aligators. This is an alien world, the creatures can be anything you imagine.

If you have any ideas for a creature, please post the description below along with a link to an image (if possible). If you wish to be apart of the team that starts this project, please PM me with your e-mail adress and information letting me know what you would be able to do for this project.

(((website coming soon!)))

All you have to do if you wanna help is just submit ideas for aliens but if you really want to see this happen, I will need a team of modders to put it all together.

I was thinking that as well, but aren't the Engineers members of the Covenant? I'm looking for creatures unseen in the game. But since we do need to start fresh, Engineers does sound like a good idea.

I think this is a great idea, but think of the bad stuff too. More lag, and to solve the lag proublem they will have to make the games for less people like 8. Then the maps ar to big for only 8 people. Anyone who dosn't have the "mod" will have to download it. Their will be mayjor programming involved, many halo playerz can even dream of prying out of their little fingers. Also I dont think such rendering of halo like that could be even possible.

I say that we should submit this idea to Bungie and see what they think, because they would be the only ones on this forum that can do something like this.

Lets just say that this is not possible. Sorry if im Mr. Jonny Rain Cloud, but its the truth.

Okay, to answer some questions...

Yes it is possible. I have seen videos of a mutliplayer map called "The Spartan Arena" that showed mulitploe AI Spartans.

I have entirely no idea how to go about this. I am in the midst of contacting the creator of "The Spartan Arena" and getting his help with this project.

What I can really use now are some examples of animals. Aliens. Creatures. Monsters. Anything that you would feel is out of this world and on Halo.

I had the idea of creating Ton-Ton like creaturs for snow maps and this Sabor-Tooth Reptile thing for Blood Gulch. More information and pics later.
