So I just found out the other day that the Halo 2 Xbox maps Tombstone and Desolation have been ported to the PC version of Halo 2. I already tried out the maps and they seem to be a true port except for a few minor differences. I'm curious about how these maps were ported. I highly doubt you can just copy and paste the Xbox maps over to the PC and expect it to work. People just converted the BSP and textures over from the Xbox version to the PC version then placed them back together. After that they took note of where objects were placed into the level. Things like gravity lifts, weapons, and spawn points. That's why when you play Desolation it has teleporters instead of gravity lifts. I'm assuming that there was no existing gravity lifts like the ones found on that level from the other maps, so, they just improvised.
You know that hidden Halo 1 Pistol in that small room on Tombstone? I managed to get in there on the PC version. I could actually pick it up. But it didn't seem quite right to me. Is it because the pistol is just a mod added to the map, or is it legit?
