"Almighty and everlasting bomb came down among us to make heaven on earth"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UCIUC30I69U

So I found this video on youtube, and it gives us a glimpse of a project in progress by Custom Map Team, an amateur modding team. They are completely remaking the graphics of Halo CE, and they are doing it so well it almost looks like Halo CEA, all within the original game engine!

Youtube - CMT SPv3: Truth and Reconciliation - Official Trailer

Can't wait to see the finished product :p Someone should definitely show this to the guys at 343 Industries.

Someone should email this to 343 saying: "Hire these people, or else..."

That's actually a lot better than I expected. I just wish Open Sauce would work on 1.09...

Just PM'd the video to bs angel on Halo Waypoint Forums, hope these guys get the publicity they deserve.

Edit: Also posted this same topic on the Waypoint Forums.

The legendary ending for Halo 4 is Masturcheef and Arby making love.

These guys have potential. If 343 hires them (a small chance for now), they might even help make future projects. The mod looks stunningly beautiful.

Meh, let me upload a build for 1.09. You could just compile the SVN yourself, y'know.

There you go.


PS: A build for 1.09, compiled by Kornman himself, will be released for CMT SPV3.

Calling CMT amateurs is ignorant. CMT have a lot of experience, likely as much as anyone employed at 343, if not more.


PPS: If they get hired by 343, we get no mod.

There's something about people telling non-programmers to compile their own apps that makes my skin crawl.

Sort of like a guitarist at a concert telling some random guy in the stands to play the song instead.

No disrespect towards CMT, but as long as they are not getting paid to do that, but instead this remains their hobby, they are not professionals, they are amateurs.

  • 12.04.2011 2:47 AM PDT

Halo without Bungie is like a cookie made without love.

Halo CEA sucks compared to this, But Halo CEA sucks anyways.

Except that according to the definition of the word professional, they are professionals. Despite that, you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how much I dislike it.

If you're a professional at something you have to be paid. It's a part of it being a "Profession". On the other hand they're not amateurs in the sense of how skillful they are.

Definition for Professional:
"pro·fes·sion·al
Adjective:
1. Of, relating to, or connected with a profession.
Noun:
2. A person engaged or qualified in a profession."


Definition for Profession:
"pro·fes·sion
Noun:
1. A paid occupation, esp. one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification.
2. A body of people engaged in a particular profession."


There are two definitions of Amateur. Here they are:
"amateurs 'am·a·teur' (Noun)
Noun:
1. A person who engages in a pursuit, esp. a sport, on an unpaid basis.
2. A person considered contemptibly inept at a particular activity."


While Tempus immediately associates the word with the 2nd meaning, the OP immediately associates the word with the first meaning. It's apparent that the OP sees that they're just as skillful as professionals, (Else wise he wouldn't bring such attention to the mod with enthusiasm) but to anyone that associates the word with the second meaning it seems like he is, in a way, insulting them.

You can even be a professional yet be terrible at the same time. If you want a reference to that happening just look at a host of terrible games. Sonic 06, Superman 64, etc.

Skillful=/=Professional

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Which crowd do you fall in with, the "It feels different than H2/3/R and I can't hit anything anymore" crowd, or the "I played too much HCE, and HCEA looks different and it scares me" crowd?

Well, Taking that I played the game countless times, bought it on every release and know it down to the pixel, I guess I fit the played too much. What I was complaining about tho is that they could have done much better. I bought the game thinking it would be 2 modes, The thing we play now which is really a port with pretty pixels and back button thing, and a remake made from the ground up to be like the first game. Can't really explain so think Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS

Well that's your fault for not paying attention to pre-release content/interviews.

xD Happens to all of us from time to time. I personally liked it, but I wasn't hit with nostalgia due to never giving the game a proper break over the last 10 years. That and I'd rather it on PC.

Halo 3

English and all of it's subtleties. I remember my Korean English teacher during my senior year of high school. I never knew how complex English was until Mr. Kim rolled in. Good times.

OT (sort of): I guess you can't call me a Halo fanboy since I didn't even think to buy CEA. Don't enjoy Reach enough to waste money on a map pack :(

(Bought BF3 for the 360....really wish I had a PC that could run BF3 w/o lag, though)

When he was younger, he was the one who always had the jokes and riddles that would keep the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years however, his lifetime of combat had hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. Within Will, John thought, something special had been lost.

Hell ya. CMT does great stuff. I wasn't going to play CEA, but I'll definitely give this a look once my new compy is finished.

That's going to be the first game I pop into mine. GAH the holidays are sapping my PC fund.

Probably for the better, as console players are probably closer to your skill level.

For real though, I really don't see why anyone would dis the original campaign, the best campaign in the entire series, simply because it got a visual upgrade without a change in gameplay. It plays like a dream. Why would anyone want to inject the mediocrity of the titles that followed into CE's gameplay?
