When i finally got halo custom edtion with the campaign i loved playing it however i noticed that there was some bugs that needed to be fixed.
I listed the ones that i had found.

When you want opereate a tank, hog, ghost, banshee, and covy tank, you hud says press "missing string" where it should say press e

When you are picking up weapons it does the same thing as i mentioned above

Also when you have other spartens riding with you either in tank or hog they wont get off when you get off. You have to turn over the tank or hog to force them out. The regular marines leave 5 secs after you get off.

When getting the chain gun off a flood it only has two bullets, i think it gets confused with the rocket luncher where it has two rockets.

Other than that, thats all i found wrong with the game.

However if CMT is stilling working on the game for improvements i would really like them to create a co-op campaign mode where you can play with people online or by local lan. That would be so very cool.


CMT and Bungie rule

Co-Op campaign is impossible for Halo PC. Bungie/Gearbox/MGS didn't build in the support it needs. The gameplay won't synch over a LAN/Internet, and neither will the AI. Since the AI is not scripted, they may be in a different place on each computer.

The ai is guided by scripts, not controlled.

The Custom Maps Team is extremely busy and are well aware of the glitches.

They have promised to release a patch soon anyway and even fix up some things they themselves don't like (as well as fans).

The glitches you listed were originally on Bungie's behalf, CMT had a fairly limiting deadline and there is never enough time to check everything over.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

That isn't their responsibilty especially when they wont get paid for it. For halo pc i mean.Change the subject of this thread to halo ce you idiot.

Say there is an Elite. Player One throws a grenade to the left, Player Two throws a grenade to the right. Because of the Elite's built-in "jump away from grenades" scripting, it will try to jump to one side. But which side? On Player one's computer, the Elite will jump to the right, away from Player One's grenade. On Player Two's computer, the Elite will jump to the left, avoiding Player Two's grenade. Voila.... You now have two Elites, and an un-synched game.

Wanna try it out for youself? Get a CE AI map, and play it over the Internet with someone else. Grunt Gulch 2 is a good one. If you watch the other player, he will sometimes shoot at nothing. This is because the AI is in a different place, on his computer.

Class dissmissed.

The few, the proud, the leet.

The vast majority of the problems you mention are from the protection put in place over the maps to prevent people from ripping to it. It was something unforseeable based on the release schedule Masters decided on. Last I heard, the patch was in the works, but I'm not so sure anymore. Other than that, you're talking about issues that are native to the game.
