Subject: Custom servers - fun for all NOW

ok so i go on halo custom and i notice no servers running any custom maps and hardly any ppl playing but u get loads of people playing the original halo...

I swear halo pc version was all about custom content making your own stuff
(ok so it wasnt but who cares)

So i will be hosting servers from time to time of random custom maps i have download which do come with custom vehicles ie. Pelican and such.

Cheers,

O and the server shall be called something like Custom maps for all

or along those lines.

Yes mate well im from UK so ill have to get up early for that but dont worry i will arrange good times for every1 and probably get up a dedicated server soon also.

Btw if the map comes from a specific website please leave the website.

i personaly feel you should take off the "no custom content" filter of your ingame lobby. there realy are a lot of custom content games out there...

Translation:
I will wait until it is done. I do not want to host a beta. Unless, that is, you really want the beta to be hosted.
ok... Well, no. but christmas is coming, and im just hoping there is a major server to host trepidation games. And since there is a nice chunk of time in between, your server could be come one of the biggest ones. There arent that many anyhow.

yea man!

Well basically today im having a good on LAN with my buddies on halo xbox. and then tonight i will be downloading as many maps that i can and installing them and probably host a quick server test it all out see wat happens.

What i dont want is for me to be hosting a bunch of maps that people dont have so i will soon create a list of the maps that will be playing in a cycle, which will regualarily be updated.

Cheers.

hoorah to that!
Anyone got a complete list of every single but-whoopin' map?
Hugeass definately, but only host it like once a day.
Stick the new maps, but dont host them too much. We dont want them to get old.
Make sure you set up every map for its strong points, no "Slayer on Hugeass", that would hurt...
We need stuff like ctf h/a, slayer on small maps, t/s on h2-coag

  • 11.22.2005 4:30 AM PDT

Alright almost up and running cannot get h2 coag to work yet but will do soon no worries maps so far

jugular - team slayer
hugeass - ctf
bang'em'high - slayer
zanzibar - slayer

Working on more cheers.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Definatly do Zanzibar.
It is an awesome map on XBOX and PC.

I don't have this on PC yet. But I was considering getting it. The custom maps you guys speak of, do you just download and install them like a regular program?? Just curious.

Thanks

It's too bad you are putting Hugeass in the cycle, I just think that map is terrible for actual gameplay, it's fun to mess around in though I guess. Currently I am really enjoying Mask for CTF, it's a lot of fun as soon as you get more than 4 or 5 people on it. Overall I love that you are asking for input on the map choices and providing a list here, it will help make the gameplay more seamless, and hopefully more fun.

Cheers.

to be honest i personally agree aligula i find hugeass to be to big for any fun.
But i want to try and do this so everyone gets their share of fun in the game if u no wat i mean. But i am only going to do hugeass everyonce in a while.

And btw to install maps:

Download them, extract them with winrar or winzip, and place them in the maps directory within the halo:ce folder. (btw they should be a .map file)

Cheers.

you can always go to regular halo pc and find several mods

I personally made the http://spyder.halocity.org mod

and several servers are running it...there are other mods as well, just the regular maps though

hmm i seem to be having trouble i was going to run a dedicated server on my laptop connected to my LAN. So i did so and i ran it but i could not connect to it. This may be due to the fact that is is running on my LAN through the same gateway. i.e same ip n stuff. So i dont think my server will be a dedicated one but no worries i will just run listening servers.

Official name for the server: [BB] !Customs!
Will be running various times from (17:00 - Onwards) GMT

Reason for the name because it should be fairly easy to find.

Cheers.
Ben

P.S I will also give a new update on the maps A.S.A.P and they will include the H2 Maps + more (still open to suggestions)
