If you don't like how I drive, then stay off the sidewalk!

Thank you, glad to hear it! Working on getting the OP updated now, and another idea I had just moments ago:

Instead of missions awarding you points flat-out, you have an income of points, like a salary except every minute. Missions will increase this salary by 1 point whenever you complete one, and they might give you a point of two extra, depending on the difficulty of the mission.

This is really shaping up to be quite the project. Be sure to submit it to the Bungie homepage whenever it's released.

HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE BETA


There's a link in the OP, I apologize if it's a bit difficult to see. Download here (UPDATE: file no longer hosted).

Also please note that the beta is outdated, however it still gives a general idea to the gameplay. It has bugs with the hud messages, and I do not really like the two missions which are available. And of course, the missions are still activated by control panels in the beta, whereas now they are accessed via menu :P

You deal with me, you deal with Tacos!

Seems coo. Thread saved. i'll try the beta later.

Grenades are like RAM, you can never have too much

Sounds like a great idea, look forward to playing it.
I dont have access to a computer than can run halo at the moment, Could you give us some details on the mapping style/setting or some screenshots?

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Tried the beta. It's buggy, but it looks promising!

I will upload a video of it.

EDIT: VIDEO UP!

Major updates to the OP, they begin immediately following the story, in the "overall description" section.

Nice man, thanks :) As I said in my comment on your vid, I am not particularly fond of that version, and as such I will be releasing a better, more official beta in a while.

I apologize, I must have missed this reply. Being that I specialize almost completely in gameplay design, I am not making my own BSPs. Expect many of the campaign and multiplayer BSPs to be available travel locations, as well as select user-created ones :)

And basically, if I hadn't made this clear before, the rebels are the main enemies, which is one thing I wish Bungie would have done in a game or at parts in their games. It gives such a new contrast to the power of a Spartan II compared to a normal person (or even a Spartan III, some of which will be present in campaign). Not to mention, a classic combat situation (fighting other humans) is something we've never experienced in Halo before for the most part (multiplayer doesn't count because they're all supersoldiers as well :P ).

Hey, now!

This is officially either the greatest or worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. I'm going with the former.

Sounds like fun!

Hi, I havent played Halo PC in awhile...but this made me wanna start again and i can't remember how to play the map?

Just put it in your maps folder, open devmode, open the console on the main menu, then type this: map_name red_skulls

Press enter, hit the tilde key again to close the console.

Also, I'll give you the same warning I gave everyone else - don't expect much from the beta, it was pretty early on :P

  • 03.21.2011 7:41 PM PDT

To the OP, if you ever get this map released on Halo CE, let me know and I'll gladly test it out for you.

Thank you for the offer, I may get a small group of pre-public beta testers. Three of my close friends are already testing for me as I work.

At the moment, I've had to pause this project for another (team) one (a more classic campaign) which I will post on this site when it's finished as well ;D and then continue with this project.

I hope that the campaign I'm working on ATM will serve as an acceptable temporary substitute for this, to hold you over for longer :D

  • 03.23.2011 11:21 AM PDT

Good to see that people still have interest in CE and custom edition. I'll surely play this whenever your done. :d

Glad to hear it! I'm doing a lot of planning for this even if I can't work on it at the moment. I've decided, based on recommendations, to allow weapons/vehicles to be purchased rather than unlocked.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize the link was still there. I no longer am hosting that version, as it is extremely outdated and provides people with a skewed idea of the map in general. I should be releasing a more proper version soon.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Great Job! The Mexi-Columbian Alliance of Lagging Gamers short MCAL, made me quit Custom Edition. I will def. give this a playthrough.

If you have Custom Ed 1.09 (in the sticky), you won't have to play in the MCAL. I also have a few servers located in the USA too.

Have you tried a replacement UI.Map?
