And I'm having a blast! Even though the mouse is difficult to use right now I still enjoy myself. Played FFA on Danger Canyon and Team Slayer on Delta Ruins, Damnation, Rat Race, and Hang 'Em High. It's so much fun! Haven't played on these maps in over 5 years!

But what I really want to do is learn how to make maps for custom edition. Anybody here make their own maps?

And oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray's
In deepest consequence.

I actually just got back into Custom Edition as well. I had forgotten how much I used to enjoy playing Capture the Flag and Team Slayer on custom maps.

Anybody else have Custom Edition?

Just about everyone on this board, silly.

Good, cause I'd be nice to discuss map making with other people. I'll edit the OP.

If you want to talk about Custom Edition map making you're probably best off discussing it on one of these forums. They're pretty slow (Sort of like this) but filled with map makers/modders.

I've seen a lot of your ideas/work on H:R and I'd love to see it on Custom Edition as well. Custom Edition needs more map makers desperately at the moment.

Yeah, coldsnap and hugeass are getting on my nerves.

  • 06.24.2011 10:55 AM PDT

it's alot harder because there's no forge mode so you are forced to use about a billion complicated computer programs

Actually it's much easier to be honest, if you follow a tutorial you can grasp the basics easily.

About 3-4 different programs, some like tool which is ran through command line is very simple (just one command to finalise/compile the .map, another for the bsp/scenario/whatever (been a while)), the use of Sapien is near enough like forge. Placing of rocks, weapons, vehicles etc.

Here is a previous reply I've done to a similar topic, posting the basic way to get started really.

Nu-uh, making maps for Halo with the provided tools is not simple if you hope to build anything that's actually worth playing. I don't think even the most experienced guys in the community would make that claim.

I meant in regards to the basics of what you have to do, however I agree, something decent to play requires a lot of time and skill with 3d modeling.

Something smells fishy...

Yeah custom map making is difficult for me to understand. I respect those that make custom maps for Halo Custom Edition. The sense of accomplishment, after successfully making a beautiful custom map, must be immense.

Sadly it's very difficult to accomplish that sense of accomplishment.

Last time I was on Halo Custom Edition, I only saw two custom maps that were completely empty. I thought it had died but based on what you guys have been saying, maybe it's not dead.

As for custom map making, I have some basic experience with modeling on programs like Blender. I may be of some use but it'll take a long time of hard work to do it.

Whoa, what the heck is this thread doing in the hot topics section? It's only got 12 replies! Moderators, why did you not put the Halo 2 FAQ in here too? (Rhetorical question - ish)

On topic: The maps come to you, you do not search for maps (Star Wars quote... never mind :) ). i.e. look in the browser of your halo CE and write down all the custom maps you see, then download them off halomaps.org

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Be nice to noobs..Remember even MLG players were noobs at one point.

If your looking to get into making maps I'd try to get a hold of Opsy or Tiamat two of the greatest map makers for Custom Edition.

Custom Edition has more potential than that. Check out the Campaign maps. It has everything Halo 1 should have had.

Halo Custome Edition used to be really fun, but you're lucky to find more than two full servers on custom maps (on any of the good, and fun maps). Most people are playing Timberland, or god damned BLOOD GULCH! Seriously, there's about 4-5 full servers on that map. The makers of CE should not have kept the original CE maps in Custom Edition. It used to be so easy to join a game on Yoyorast Island and play and have fun, but not anymore.

Coldsnap: You'll see a populated POQ or DG server once in a while.
Extinction: Only one server people play on if there are people.
Yoyorast: Basically dead from what i've seen.
Hugeass: Same as extinction
Portent: Awesome map that nobody plays on.
Immure: WTF why aren't more maps getting this much attention? Immure is pretty standard in gameplay, nothing new yet it always as one or two full servers.
CMT Snow Grove: WTF happened to Zombies? That was my favorite thing to do in Custom Edition!
Ambush: Awesome map, nobody plays on it.

I know the guy who is now hosting a server for it on that map. You should check it out :P The server name starts with something like "soogrim".

What's even worse is that Blood Gulch has Banshees and there are a whole lot of shee n00bs that rush for it and go on Banshee splatter sprees. That was 4-5 years ago. I only managed to thwart their attempt once in another banshee with the spacebar button followed by a fuel rod.

Are they still doing it or have they finally matured?

  • 06.29.2011 3:13 AM PDT

The Banshee makes me very angry in Halo PC and CE. Only idiots with no skill and who think the pistol is useless use them, it was the worst addition to the game when Gearbox ported Halo.

Its twice as bad (like everything else) in Halo 2 Vista with shee kiddies getting more kills than they deserve.

It must be a troll.

  • 07.01.2011 6:29 PM PDT

Go to Halomaps.org or somthing like that and download 100s of maps you can lay, my personal favourite is floodgulch where you play as marines or flood combat forms (if you have bump possession) not sure if you ned that but yeah.
