My good friend MotherGoat, whom many of you know, gave me some advice that I should post this here, even though its mixed thought since halo 2 has a section, but this is about a pc mod.
Hello, Im Randy Laws, aka Randreach454, some of you may know me if you visit the Gearbox forums, if not, oh well. Im Co-Leader of a Half life 2 multiplayer modification called Halo 2 Source. What H2S is, is a mod based off the concept of halo 2's multiplayer, meaning our goal is to recreate the halo 2 multiplayer experience, to pc gamers.
There are mods already like this being created for the Source engine, including Perfect Dark Source, Goldeneye Source, and a neat Resident Evil mod.
This is a non-profit mod, and its totally free for owners of Half Life 2 on Steam.
What we expect to do for the mod is:
1. Model, texture, and whatever we create, from scratch, so no "ripping" from Halo 2 itself. All fan created.
2. Remake some Halo 2 Multiplayer maps, and include some of our own.
3. Remake all(or some) of the Halo 2 weapons, vehicles, and items, and hopefully add a few more new ones to the roster, of course keeping it close to the Halo experience.
4. Remake the Masterchief, and a few other Halo characters, as playable characters.
We have already started making some things in 3ds max for the mod, and a few nice Halo CE modelers have also let us use some of their models they have created from scratch, with of course credit to them.
Here are some renders of a little of whats done so far:

We have a bit more done, but at the time of this posting, renders or screenshots were not available by the creator.
The main point of this thread is to ask permission from Bungie, to allow us to continue this mod, and hopefully release it publically for free someday.
Our website is at http://www.h2source.vekien.co.uk/
Our forums are at http://www.h2source.vekien.co.uk/forum/
Please support us, but by all means, if Bungie does not give us permission to create this mod, then we as a team will not release anything and will stop the mod creation.
Hoping for the best,
Randreach454
If anyone would like to contact me about more info on the mod, or would like to chat about anything related to it, my email is Randreach454@hotmail.com
