Sorry, but i just think this is crazy. Your doing basically what the people done with Halo CE. I just can't see it working. By the time you've finished proberly Halo 2 Vista will be finished by then. To be honest... i don't think the turnout wontl be that good. Listen to Iggwilv and do what he says. No offence but i just can't see it happening. You asking alot from the people and in their freetime?

Sorry...I hate to see a burst of enthusiasm be trounced down like this.

But I do suggest, as before, to aim lower. Possibly creating maybe only one single player level? You could ask around the Gearbox Forums for help, and some nice modders may even be able to lend you the AIs that they used for their CE maps.

Honestly though, we're just trying to be real here, it's not practical to work on this, IMO.

Do you even know how that works? I highly doubt one can just convert it to CE format like that. Even if that is possible I'm pretty sure that would violate something in the User's Agreement.

everything, actually. From it being provided "As is" to it being illegal to copy and or transmit in any way, electronically or otherwise, right back to the key one; the fact that it's totally illegal to decompile Halo 2's code, and even more illegal to alter it.

Wow you lot thought he was going the whole hog staight away?!!!

by the way i could actually get the voices from the game recorded to computer, but i'm short for cash at the moment(have been for a while) so i won't have my own copy until june.

are you going to have the maps downloaded onto CE, or are you going to build a game based on the engine.

and being able to hack can help, you can download a program to use a flycam for halo, but you can do it yourself if you can hack into it...

Can't use the voices from the game. That's why he's looking for voice actors.

The audio from the game, just like the video is copyrighted. You can make a clone, sort of, but you'll still run into the problem of copyright infringement from Microsoft and Bungie.

If you actually made this game, you open yourself up to a lawsuit for loss of income. Not a good idea.

Lol! You ask for some help and get a -blam!- load of critics. Oh well, some of them have a point, even though they just said basically the same thing over and over.

I wish you luck Widowmaker. Theres nothing wrong with a dream to accomplish something that everyone said you had no chance of doing. But most importantly, it must be important to you.

Wish I could help, but I'm worthless when it comes to programming and graphics.

Peace!

come on they're Microsoft they have more money then God, who would rule in their favor?


Just about anybody would. It's pretty clear cut. Just because they have money doesn't mean that you can steal intellectual property. It doesn't matter that you make no profit yourself, since you still represent a lost sale for every copy of the game that people download. That can get very expensive for whoever is the legal lead on the project. If just 5000 people download your game, and microsoft proves it, and sues for lost profit at say, $30 a game, that's 150 Grand someone's gonna have to pay, in addition to any piracy fines the Judge decides to impose.

This is spam now. I wanted this locked awhile back. The project is still on, but I'm not gonna cause a stir here. Im gonna make a website soon, you can join there. Well at least move this to the classifieds.

Doesn't matter if he sells it or not. He's still legally obligated to pay for the lost profit if Microsoft decides to sue.

There's no need to lock this, he needs to understand what he's getting into. If he manages to complete his project, he'll put himself right in the poor house. And probably anyone else who tries to do it with him.

Read post above you. Then, make sure brain is in gear before engaging mouth. You aren't being witty.
