I am pissed, Other player's like UT 2k4 should not be able to port halo ( Exporting modle's map's ex from pc version of game) Then making a port and making it on another game system.

I.e,
http://torlan.forerunners.org/

Should be stopped, how many agree?

Bungie shouldn't stop porting. Jay strongly supports Bungie's release of games on multiple platforms. Not every one has an Xbox, but almost every old Bungie fan has a Mac and some have PCs since some Bungie games were ported to Winblows.

Jay doesn't mind Halo-inspired user-created content for other games. It's free advertising, right? Jay does mind this porting of the entire game so it's a free download, though. The honor system won't keep people who never bought Halo from downloading it to enjoy extra features and stuff. If there were some way to make it only available to people who own a copy of Halo, Jay would think it a good idea since the latest Unreal engine is pretty slick...

These people arent doing nothing, there taken the modle's 'stealing' the maker's work, importing into the game and just moding it to be the same, there will be nothing new just the 'same' game but on UT 2k4. There just stealing the stuff from the game. at least the mod form battlefiled 'Home front' had there own custom gun's tank's jet's ex.. this one isnt makeing nothing custom just importing coding.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

... Meh.

I believe that the UT2004 team are actually creating their own models rather than taking them from the game.

Be they re-making everything or just converting it, (Jay thought it's the latter) it can't be exactly the same. There will be things you can do within UT that can't be done with Halo PC now. Support for mods and mutators, and added eye candy will be unique to that TC. It shouldn't be made, though, unless a way can be found to make it ONLY available to people who have bought Halo fair and square.

There people are Stealing basicly, Take the modle's textsure's and map's. If you read the forum www.unrealtournament.com I forgot what the post was called anyway, there useing the halo tool to export the textsure's,modle's ex. There stealing the work from the maker's which is not right, One thing is remake it with your skill, it is another thing to steal and just import it.

And they 'arnt' putting custom map in there makign the game right into UT, isnt this breaking copy right's by calling it 'Halo'

Yeah... since there's no way to do that yet, it's definitely stealing.

If I am reading this right: some guys are using unreal 2k4 to create a free version of halo (well, free if you have unreal)? That definately not right. Unless of course you bought halo, but we all know the people who download it haven't.

You read the same way Jay did, Templar. All Bungie fans must unite in opposition of this project, unless it can somehow be limited to purchasers of Halo... Jay doesn't see a way for the latter.

Every game for every platform..is completely ridiculous.

Why not just have one platform then?

Because then there wouldn't be any competition, and the game designers and the game system companies would get lazy.
