The few, the proud, the leet.

As far as I know, Custom Map Team hasn't ventured into the Bungie.net forums yet, so I guess I'm pioneering here. As the days go by it is comming closer and closer to launch. One of our testers has put together a video. It's a bunch of shakey-cam (well, the debug equivilent), but it serves as a good teaser to the mod for those who haven't been paying close attention since it went public.

Here is the link to the video, and here is the link to the main page. We have forums set up, so if you want to keep closer tabs in the final days before release or if you just wanna talk about the mod in general then register and chat away.

You can also discuss and ask questions here. We'll do our best to answer them. After showing this off to personal friends, I'll go ahead and say this since it's been asked by everyone. There have been no plot or level geometry changes. Enjoy!

Thats a good video. How much will the thing cost?

As for cost, we are unable to charge for the mod due to the content being Bungie IP. It will be free for download. Yay! And how much did you spend making it? The Ferengi wouldnt approve...

Wait, do you have a set release date? June 25?

It is a single player mod. The team's leader, Masterz1337, changed the AI encounters within the scenario replacing most of the marines with the spartan model you see. The spartan biped is completely custom and still lacking anything eycandyish other than a basemap. In gameplay, they're basically highly accurate team mates.

Yes, that is a destroyable dropship. We also have 3 types of pelicans, a gunship, one with a rocket launcher in the back, one with a chaingun, and one with a chaingun as well as weapon drop pods (like on delta halo in halo 2)
Here is an old pic, don't pay attention to anythign in it but a clean view of the dropship exploding

Bungie forums don't allow pictures to be posted. Something about the absurd amount of bandwidth they already take up.

We didn't recreate all of it, we made all the new content you see in it. However, SteelixB who is on the team, began writing the Halo Tag Converter back in november/december of 2004, which is what in the fall of 2005 evolved into the tools that we used to convert the whole campain to editable tag format.

So is it the same levels, just new weapons, vehicles, a.i, enemies, ect.? Like, are all of the maps the same?

  • 06.09.2006 9:14 PM PDT

CMT Mod team leader

Same levels, but all of the shaders (they control the grafix of the game) have been overhalled, Vehicles have pieces that can be blown off (we have the Chainhog and Gauss hog from halo2, as well as the Rocket Warthog Fromteh e3 Zanzibar demo (Our h2 skin for it pays homage to the gearbox warthog, but it plays like the one from zanzibar) AI was done verry well by bungie, but it to has been upgraded. Allies with chianguns will charge the enemies, while those with The Battle Rifle(our battle rifle has a grenade launcher attached, think of it as a BR with the brute shot attached) will use the secondart grenade fire to get enemies hiding behing rocks. Enemies can be found in new locations, such as hunters on the POA. You will see new battles, such as hunters fighting off endless waves of combat flood. (Our hunters btw are beasts, they have the same gun as in halo2, but are stronger, faster, and smarter than those you saw in halo 1 or 2.

The story is all the same, as well as the sequence of levels.

As I said in the first post, there have been no plot or level geometry changes. So yes, the levels are the same. The only difference you will notice about them is the way they look. For instance, in the second level a30/Halo, the rock texture that lines the walls of the level has been replaced with a different texture to make it look more appealing. The first build I recieved with the changes blew me away.

Here is an early pic outlining the change.

I keep thinking "Halo CMT" stands for "Halo Country Music Time".

Anybody see that video "Halo Hoedown"? LOL.

We choose our testers on a wide array of graphical solutions. This allows us to know just how far we can take certain things without nuking out our low end users. There have been many times when testers get some of our material and claim certain things to be shaded white or something similar. When something like that happens, it is reworked to where it will appear for that level of graphics card.

CE already has a boost in shader performance though. If everything was ported as is, you would see a few frames jump in performance.

I checked out the website and am now completely and utterly pumped for this to come out. A week and a Day after school gets out is what I am waiting for.

Maybe CMT should add some new music. The Halouvre is a good place to get that kind of music. Some of the stuff there is actually really good.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

It doesn't really look appealing to me. I'll stick with Halo 2 for my BR and Gauss Hog, and Halo 1 for those levels.
