Halo 1 & 2 for PC

Subject: Maps

Is there a map out which is a perfect replica of halo 2. For example, hijack-able vehicles, vehicles you can blow up, vehicles you can destroy peice by peice, homing rockets, all the weapons looking EXACTLY the same as the real 2, and the hud (heads up display) looking the same, wraiths, guass hogs that make the air quiver and ripple, slow but accurate and destroyable and hijackable tanks, phantoms aren't neccesary but thumbs up if you're going for a perfect replica of one of those!, being able to lob a sticky into a wraith, those bus things that drive towards you on the motorway bit on halo 2, AND BEST OF ALL - a proper dual wielding system! how great would this be, a dream come true! (I dont really dream about halo at night but i wont go into what i do think about now) As you have noticed I am a mahusive perfectionist (mahusive = BIG) but I don't think i'm the only one that would praise the lord who made such a map. PLEASE DO IT!

Its impossible, or will cause major problems, to do most of those things except in singleplayer maps, if they can be done at all. It takes alot of time to do destructable vehicles, and even more if you want them boardable, and even more with animations that look good. Duel weilding can never ever be like halo 2. Its impossible. You can simulate it, make it look like halo 2, but it will never be the same. Bottom line, play halo 2 if you want to play halo 2.

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

There are some replicas of Halo 2 maps, but I don't think they have all of those features.
This mod and set of maps for Halo Custom Edition have some of the stuff such as improved Ghosts, Gauss Hogs, some Duel Wielding, but I don't think it has hijackable vehicles. I haven't seen the Wraith on there either.

On the Halo 2 Custom Edition website, you can't do any of that because you need to have a Halo 2 game engine, but it's just a Halo 1 game engine, so you can't do any of that, but there are maps that allow destroyable vehicles like H2_Coagulation. The only thing I think about that idea of hi-jacking is the gathering exception data. So for sure I think it's impossible for any Halo 2 thing like dual wielding and hi-jacking.

Hijacking is possible, ite being worked on, but its very very time consuming. Duel wielding can't be done like in halo 2 though.

  • 11.23.2005 8:28 AM PDT

Ok, so that means I can look forward to hi-jacking? That would be fantastic. But will it be possible to have those bus things (with the shade ontop) on the motorway level on halo 2? Anyway I leave it up to you to play, i'm getting my Xbox 360 soon so I may not be on halo anymore. :( One last thing, I basically never play on consoles so I am not very good at playing shooting games with a controller. Who here thinks that the PC controls make the game easier to play (once you know what everything is). And I hope there is a jetpack (like jet trooper from star wars battlefront) On Halo 3 or further (if there is further). That would be really fun doing a space mission with a jetpack or sumthing.

  • 11.28.2005 10:30 AM PDT

Something about the jetpacks, I hope they're not the ones you sit in, not that theres anything wrong with those ones, but it would be great if it was one like the bounty hunter from star wars episode II - attack of the clones.

coooool, anyone know when the next set of halo 2 maps are coming out?

zomg like, duel wielding is so june! All the h2ce and cmt maps have working duelwielding.

  • 11.30.2005 6:45 PM PDT

What is a cmt map, and what do you mean by 'working dual wileding'? And about all maps based around halo 2 (for custom edition), which map is the closest thing to halo 2 out at the moment, and who here thinks that the suits and guns on new mombasa, zanzibar etc... don't look like the real thing? I prefer the appearence on coag, headlong and bang'em high.

Yeah, but the dual weilding isn't truly that; it's where you pick up two guns at the same time, and they act like one in that you can't throw one down without getting rid of the other--they are dual-weidable and that only. This is a little bit different from actual Halo 2 play where you grab a gun and then pick up another one and they act totally separate.

And I don't even know what you're talking about for Zanzibar. It's one of the most popular maps but no matter how hard I try it doesn't work on my computer. But I do like coag's visual setup.

Coag has things ripped right from Halo 2. Zanzibar, new mombasa, and some other h2 maps are all custom made. You cannot have duelwielding like in halo 2. Its just not possible.

  • 12.05.2005 1:47 PM PDT

How do you rip right out of halo 2?

Dunno, but its not as easy as ripping and puting it in halo.

anyone know if you can download any maps for just the regular Halo PC because I can't download Halo CE because of this stupid anti-virus thing that thinks everything has a virus in it or if anybody could tell me how to get the Halo PC maps onto my xbox version please.

Nope, cant make new maps for PC, and you will have to wait for an xbox map maker, as its still in the works.

Does anyone have any idea on how to install the c20 public beta map, its not a multiplayer that you can play over the internet but it says something about opening a console? Is this the console that you activate by pressing the ` key? Or is it a dedicated server console? And if someone made a map where you paly as the ultramarines from warhammer 40k, that would be cool, i don't collect them, but i think that they're armour looks awesome. nudge nudge mapmakers! Is it possible to put a jetpack onto a multiplayer level (as explained many times above)?

  • 12.11.2005 7:50 AM PDT

Anyone? Please tell me how to install the library single player level - c20 public beta.

  • 12.12.2005 10:35 AM PDT

And how to `enable console`

  • 12.12.2005 10:37 AM PDT

fine then!

It would take very long to make a exact Halo 2 mod for Halo CE, also complicated. But not only that some people have their limits. You just dont realise the small details that make Halo 2 ... Halo 2.
Remember it isn't just making models, it's also programming, alot of people that create maps dont really know how to program the simple C++ language, i only know how to make a simple game like blackjack, and make your name appear up on the screen, but i don't know how to do some intense stuff.
