is this thread still alive? cool.
anway, they posted on the halomods forums. the mapmakers are still pressing on, and the map will be out before halo 2.

i'd give a linky, but damn halomods's mods deleate things realy quickly

EDIT: i've lost patience with waiting for the answer to the following question. i only want to know one thing: will the BR fire three round bursts, or be like every othe CE battle riffle?

Heyyo,

Heh, what kindof French-Canadian rambler would I be if I diddn't make my posts of bilbical proportions? hmm? lmao. :p

Think about it, a beta is an UNFINISHED version of a product n' what not. Look at other games like HaloPC Beta, Far Cry Beta, Doom3 Beta, Half Life 2 beta... etc. They're all somewhat playable, but UNINISHED. Also beta's tend not to be optimized and tend to run like CRAP. They usually save the optimization of the game's engine until the end of the production. You know? it's like making something with wood. First, you shape the wood the way yo want it (getting the product to work properly), and once you're satisfied, you then sand it down and add a layer of paint of gloss (optimizations).

Which explains why halo wasn't as optimized as it could've been, cause that's always the final focus, which got cut short by deadlines.

Beat the game.. Greatest ending ever as Master Chief jumps in to destroy thermal reactor set to destroy earth!!! Greatest GAME EVA! Too bad there won't be a Halo 3 with Master Chief in it! I can't believe he sacrficed his own life!! Even though it was French, You can pretty much figure out the story line!! AWESOME GAME!!

hey mard, i see you alot on these forums. maby it's your discintive heyyo, or your posts that remind me of the nathalinel harthorn's scarlet letter, how do you get so much time to spend on the forums? you're like on more than me. i didn't know that was possible.
(for thoes of you who feel this is kinda off topic, it is. but i've gotta take my mind off the waiting for the best halo CE map that's ever going to be created)

back on topic: yeah, i know beta's are mostly crap (i said this alredy in the thread), but they show you things you've never seen before. also keep in mind that beta's are not always compleate crap, but just crap compared the the final. if the beta is beter than anything seen so far... than you can hardly consider it crap.

yay halomods!
another update:
the reason it's taking forever to come out:
They have figgured evreything out; using scripts, they figured out how to do perfect duel weilding, and how to board (wht does everyone here call it hijacking) vehicals. YAY!!!!!!
they're just prefecting the best map ever made now, espicaly so that if we play it, it doesn look like we're looking screenshots of the map (due to lag.)

Hello all! ... Am one of the leaders of the =EP clan... and just wanted to update you that a new beta version is being tested as we speak... I personally didn't work on the map, our map team did... but since I am a leader I get to beta test.. he he he... Anyways, the map still needs some work done to it, and some bugs fixed. If you have seen the videos of the real zanzibar, the team worked really hard to brought that to life on the PC. Hopefully more time will tell when this map will be release. As far as a date, I guess we'll copy bungie's quote:: "It will be ready, when it's ready"

By the way... Am new to these forums!.. I hope the halo team gets to read some of this : "You guys are amazing"~

Here's an official update from the mod team. It's finally got a release date. :)

P.S. I am not affiliated with the mod team in any way. Just happened to be browsing the forums and figured I'd pass this tidbit on.

well... it's not out yet
but don't lose hope. it will be out today, mark my words. and if it's not, years from now, you can test my credibality as a trial witness by repeting my last phrase.
when it comes out it should be the first download on this site:
http://www.haloimpulse.com/site/modules.php?name=Downloads&am p;d_op=vi ewdownload&cid=2#cat

try it around 3:00 est

edit: sry, you have to scroll down and click on 'maps' under HALO CE DOWNLOADS, before you get to the actual d/l page

it's up.
someone said it's here, but it's also at the halo impulse link i posted
www.nitrous.epgservers.net/ZanzibarCE.rar

FYI: after playing the game, i would like to tell you a few things. durl weilding is only possible with smg's, bording is not possible, but the map, weapons, explosions, ect. are cool. really cool.

but don't worry. it seems the team is still working on thoes things, and a new map will probably be out soon.
