Guys, we've got to stay positive. So what if Halo 2 comes out before Zanzibar? That's console hugger talk. Us PC gamers will make do and make our own fun. On the other hand, this map will have to be some kind of special to justify all this 'hype' and waiting. There's already a map called Killa2 which allows dual weilding of SMG's, the new assault rifle and plasma sword. I think we ought to broaden our view of Halo CE, and make some more maps, not focus all this energy on 1 map, based on a Halo 2 map.

Heyyo,

Haha, you impatien buggers. :p

I read through this, and you guys... we've waited forever for Halo1 to come to PC, waiting a few weeks ain't gonna kill you. In the meantime, if you havn't already, check out all the early videos of halo, that'll keep you n' your buds entertained for a day. Another good source of entertainment is just play some good halo servers (of course without leaked maps) or another game. Me n' me buds are starting a coop frenzy. We're on SvenCoop, Far Cry Coop, Serious sam 1&2 coop, and we're trying to get more coop games. That should easily keep you entertained whilst waiting for this Zanzibar map.

So no posting links of leaked betas. BTW, there's other custom maps to play, and custom servers too. Don't forget them guys....

eh.. idk wtf is goin on but our team is kinda falling apart. i've been done w/ my stuff, same w/ farsight (he modeled zanzibar), but nitro and korn and the rest are all swamped w/ stuff, and they are very distracted w/ other things in their lives. i REALLY wish i could just release it as it is, but three things would come of that. 1. it would completely ruin my reputation, and possibly stunt my start into the gaming career world. 2. its not my map to do that with, and i could possibly be sued (i think?). 3. everybody would love me, but only for a short time, its not perfect, it has its flaws.

don't wory taco, no one's blaiming you, you've been working hard on this project, and eventhough none of us can wait until it's out, don't feel the need to risk your future for it. the impatient -blams- who can't wait, will just end up downloading hte beta anway

mmmm... taco

At this point, if you are looking at this from a professional point of view I think you guys should hold off until after H2's release. That way you could take a walk through the real deal and make sure you've got everything relatively accurate. While I don't know much about getting into the gaming industry (other than it's just about impossible), I do know that accuracy and completeness will be key to any professional portfolio.

In any case, you get props for being one of the only nenbers that communicates on a semi-regular basis anymore. Thanks Taco :)

Heyyo,

Yo taco, where aboots do you live eh? Cause depending where you are, your odds of making it in the big leauges can jump up. Vancouver BC, Canada is a great place to be right now. There's Electronic Art's main northern complex there, and a few other small ones (one is something line "Radex" or something starting with an R...).

Also, a great calling card would help. Look at some of the big bots made on the HL engine. PODbot? CountFloyd now works on other projects. The Jumbot? ThE FaTaL got hired by CryTeck Sudios (makers of Far Cry, so he's probably the brains behind the great SinglePlayer AI =D )

This project is a nice calling card, but you need a big mod to make it really big. Some mods for the HL engine were little 3rd party ones that have gone big (Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat). One of my guesses for a 3rd Party mod hitting it big is the upcoming Jurrasic Park Mod for Far Cry. OMG dude, if you havn't heard of it? check it out. They're always looking for more people to help out. It's already got some great game models, like the T-Rex, the Veloca-Raptor Holding Pens, and some of the guns. Look into it yourself man, you might like it. ;) http://www.jpmod.com

I hope for it they hace cooperative mode think aboot how crazy tha'd be eh? running for your life from a T-Rex, looking back as your buds get devoured as they scream their lugs out on TeamSpeak... I'd buy it if it were a official game mod (but only if it had coop, and great MP like it is already planned). = )

Also, I don't wanna devulge too much info until it's official, but there's a new game company that's going to get started either this year or next year.. it's probably going to be in LA. all I'll tell you is its currently planned name: "First Kill Interactive." ;)

He's not a member of Bungie. He's a member of the Halo 2 modding team for Halo Custom Edition. No relation to Bungie or Gearbox.

Being as he is a member of what we would hope is an elite design team, Taco displays extreme illiteracy when typing on forums, or at least gross neglegance for punctuation and grammar. Perhaps this attention to detail is a clue to why Zanzibar is taking so long?

Heyyo,

Aww c'mon Skippy, play nice now. Taco's already done his part, it's the others that need to pickup the pace.

Ghrammar sh-mammar. I probably make dozens of errors in my posts. This is a forum, not a Government exam for christ sakes, as long as it's legible enough to read, it's ok.

So yeah, good luck in your future endeavors there Taco, no matter what your focus will be, keep givin' her eh? Also, a diploma or certificatefrom college proving your ability will help you get a job, especially if that college has connections with computer graphics institutions. The Art Institute of Vancouver gets annual visits by people from Electronic Arts looking for school contractors that will help them design things for their games. Yeah, me bud tried for it once. They were asking for people to help them create cars for their upcoming racing game that's like "Motor City Online." Sadly, there were somemore veteran 3D Studio modelers and they got the contracts. I'm sure me bud will get into the computer animation industry np. He always keeps an open mind. Like, he's trying to get into the film industry computer animation, games, tv shows, you know? the whole 9 yards of computer animations. So keep an open mind Taco, cause you never know what you may get offered. ;)
