I was wondering how I would go about creating a campain mod for Halo CE. I have plans to make a D-Day style invation by the covenet into a lage city. The mod would start out with the covenet landing on beaches ouside the city (the city would be like Miami). You will be droped by a pelican on a ten story building, all the cool wepons will be avalable (Rockets, Snipers, etc...) to prevent the invaters from reaching deep inside the city. Many of the buildings will have rendered interiors, giving a realistic look. leave feadback.

1. You'd need a huge team to work on this: terrain mapper, interior designer [lol], person to do textures, person who knows how to program AI [can't just throw covenant on a beach and expect them to know what to do, have to write scripting].

2. I believe you cna really only mod current levels in Halo Campaign. Can't really add a new one, I don't think it would start - it'd give an error.

3. So if the above is true, you'd need someone to mod the .exe - and I'm not sure if that's illegal or not.

Halo PC isn't very mod friendly.

I don't think theres a way you could create that. Like SLD said, you need a whole team to do that, and theres no way you could create it if you can't even spell 'large' or 'dropped'. It's a good idea, but it won't work.

Like I said, though - you'd need a programmer to go in and literally change the .exe file, along with other files, to work with a new map/new geometry. Sure, you can mod skins in Halo, but whole levels...

It would be very hard. you'd almost have to release a seperate version of Halo - in which case, why don't you just do this for CE? The Area series are like single player maps, you can do something like those and it would work.

yeah, CE would be easier to do than PC. however, this would still be a BIG mod to do. you'd need to have halo hoger-like skills.

Of corce I will be using Halo CE. What If I use another game to tell my side story, like Half Life 2. I can have the covenet look purdy. I could inport all the models from halo.
