Halo 1 & 2 for PC

Subject: THREE new Halo maps and Song!

I made the blueprints and gameplay design for three maps and was gonna just dive into mapmaking again. But the problem is, even though I liked Decoy and Transfer, it was obvious that I had next to ZERO artistic 3D modeling ability. So this time around, I enlisted the help of Neuro ko neza and Mrs. Doublefire to make the designs come to life in an artistic sense. (This is how Bungie works. They have designers who plan the level and how gameplay unfolds, then the art guys model and trim the designers’ designs.)

I couldn’t be happier with the result. Before I get to the huge unveiling, I also have to give a HUGE thank you to the following:

DOMINATOR – He modeled the WASP you’ll play in Immure. Awesome job

Lightning – He did a killer job skinning the WASP!

SSDC – Thanks for ketting the WASP tagged and ready to implement. You rock.

Mrs. Doublefire – I’m honored that you picked up the job. You are one of the great art talents out there. Anxiety wouldn’t have been near the quality if it wasn’t your interpretation.

Neuro ko neza – Dude, it’s sick how talented you are at a young age. It’s been great to work with you on TWO maps. Thanks for picking up the slack when people dropped off. Please make this your career.

Beta People- Everyone above plus Texrat, Wave of Lag, Jack Burt0n, the Goat Herd, The Ghost, Nitrous, The EP guys who hosted the beta and helped out and of course I thank everyone I am forgetting.

(ALL MAPS ARE SET UP FOR ALL GAMETYPES minus race)

IMMURE

Design: Mothergoat Artist: Neuro ko neza


Immure, an open air prison facility built by the Forerunners for those forced into exile. No one is confident where exactly on Halo the mountain facility is, but the gigantic communications tower and solar panels provide an amount of autonomy, suggesting that the Forerunners were very interested in maintaining contact with the prisoners.

ANXIETY

Design: Mothergoat Artist: Mrs. Doublerfire

Anxiety, a symmetrical rat race designed to create a certain sense of claustrophobia before being shipped off to one of the mountain prison facilities. Those exiled were dropped in this enclosed canyon for several months to prepare them for understanding that there is no longer a way out of imprisonment.

CORRUPTED

Design: Mothergoat Artist: Neuro ko neza

Deep in the center of the mountain of Immure are a group of prison cells. However, since the Forerunners seemingly abandoned the facility, these old prison cells were turned into rooms made for recreation by “The Prisoner,” the one who corrupted the system.

I assembled a team to model, skin and get my version of this vehicle in game. I got the idea from The Island movie. The Wasp just CRIED OUT to be in Halo.

I just have to say that I love these new maps, especially 'Immure', which sort of reminds of one of my favourite maps; 'Infinity". It is great to see that people are still developing all of this new content, even with Halo PC/CE no longer being truly supported by Bungie, Microsoft et al. It is especially exciting for people like me who only purchased the game a few weeks ago (I guess I'm a noob, but I don't feel like a noob) to know that there are people still taking an interest in Halo.

Thank you, and cheers on the great maps!

Ok, I'll take a stab at this one.

1. Click on the link that was so graciously provided above.
2. When it asks you to open or save, click save and save it in a folder somewhere (I set up a folder in 'My Docs' named 'Halo Maps", you get the idea).
3. Make sure you have Winrar, which you can get from: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
4. Open Winrar and find your newly saved .zip or .rar file
5. Hit the 'Extract to' button and pick the the following path to extract the maps to C:programfiles/microsoftgames/haloce/maps....or something to that effect (I'm at work, so I can't take a look to be sure)
6. Once they are finished being extracted you should go to that same folder where you extracted them to and double-check that they were properly done (the files should say 'name.map' I think, at any rate the new files should look the same as the old map files you have)
7. Now the hard part, finding a decent CE server to play on!

Hope that helps, enjoy!!
