I have been wondering if I should make an online game like Ragnarok Online (If anybody knows what that is), only it's revolving around Halo 2. 2D sprites and 3d maps...aw yeah.I'll give you the details in a moment, but I need to know what downloadable game engine I could use,so that I can make the maps but still use sprites.
Now for what I imagine it to be like. two options, Story Warfare (even that's online,too), and Team Warfare.
in story warfare, you either play as a marine, or all the different Covie races. as a marine, you work up from a private to either a peli-pilot,a seargent, or a petty officer. From there, Lieutenant,Major, Captain, and Admiral. as a Covie, you can either be an Elite, a Grunt, or a Jackal. (The other races are AI). you work up from a low-class, to a vet, and then to spec-ops, and then you become prophet-blessed. Aw yeah. It's the same with the Jackals and Grunts,too. But to be sure people don't always choose to be Elites all the time, I'll make it so that if you want to be a covenant, it will randomly select a Cov for you.
in Team Warfare, well, to put in a nutshell, can you say Spartans and Marines versus Grunts,Elites and Jackals,in fruitless games such as CTF, Team Slayer, and more? with more than twenty players and 4 banshees, Six hogs, four tanks, and 12 ghosts, in maps such as Blood Gulch and Zanzibar and Sidewinder? I'll let you think about that.
So yeah. Suggestions please.

You might as well play Halo. I see no notable differences.

It seems a lot of work.....I'd just wait for Halo 2.....but you could try if you so wish.....I guess you'd make some people out there happy.

Forgive me. I don't have an engine. And I know that abbreviation has something to do with 'massively multiplayer'....

Um....I was joking.

Achronos is the Bungie overlord.....meh, I'll just not say anything in future.

Why don't you look in some dedicated PC site? That might help, if they have any FAQs or forums or so on.
