As much as I enjoy the benefits of Halo Custom Edition (i.e. AI team changing with dev console, flying camera, permanent active camouflage, etc.), I just don't like CE because of how much work it demands.
To make such impressive maps, you have to first dedicate a lot of time to learning how to use complicated programs, learn how to script, etc.
Whereas with HMT and Eschaton, you can make simple, yet enjoyable mods in a short time.
Also, some CE maps tend to deviate from Halo introducing new things that makes it lose it's flavor, it's originality and/or removing what was best loved about Halo: Combat Evolved (taking the Pistol's scope away, replacing it with the BR or DMR, etc.).
But I do enjoy maps that focus on AI intelligence rather than weapon skins, scenery, etc.
A guideline I use when looking for single player maps to download is:
-intelligent AI > custom skins, bipeds, etc.
-The AI have to be defeatable. I should still be able to kill them even though I'm armed with a nearly useless Assault Rifle
-AI do never before seen things (i.e. kamikaze Banshees) but remain in the boundaries of what is Halo
So basically, I prefer Halo PC, but I can tolerate Halo CE and sometimes prefer Halo CE.I keep forgetting to re-install CE. I'm gonna do that now. Do you have any recommendations for single player maps?
