Subject: Halo 2 Vista: Mapmaking

Pi Studios are the team responsible for bringing the map editor to Halo 2 on Windows Vista, and they wanted to share their progress and ideas, with you, our gentle reader. It's Day 2 of the week that KP calls Vistravaganza.

The few, the proud, the leet.

Question: Will there be custom single player content support just as in the SDK for Halo 1 on PC?

There are allready two teams working on single player campaigns under developement to be released through the H2V toolkit. If the option for type: solo, multiplayer, or user interface isn't in the equivilence of the scenario tag for H1, you will have a very angry CE community.

Wow... so its basically gonna be a HEK V.2.0. Thats good to know, as there are a LOT of experienced CE modders in our community, and some really great things can be accomplished. What it didnt mention, is whats bugging me. Is there gonna be custom biped support, and weapons and what-not? And is tool gonna have a UI this time, or is it gonna be a cmd line app again?

and i take it you can only play these maps on halo 2 vista? making the xbox version obsolete and basically forcing us to buy vista. this pisses me off, bungie abandons us after releasing 9 maps and a gameplay update so those of us who want more have to spend more on a game we dont really want (not a fan of pc games) if there were a way to download them with the content download option so you didnt have to play on pc I'd be delighted but that wouldnt make enough money for M$
*edit* i just remember i have a modded xbox lol... im sure I'll be able to play them

David Mertz, Lead Designer: Those familiar with the Halo tool set will be able to start editing right away. Bungie has made some great improvements to the tools, and we are building upon those improvements to make the tools easier to use and (somehwat) more accessible to average users


Fix that, and give meh credit for finding it! >=D

It's all fun and games until someone gets impaled with an energy sword.

So what exactly do I need to make my own maps? I have Windows XP and an Xbox 360. Is that enough?

Yeah... I dont think i will understand it... Hopefully they make it very easy for beginners and let the experienced users be able to have it where they can do anything they want with it.

It is done entirely on the computer. If you have the software and a machine with adequate specs, you are set, hardware-wise.

It's another matter entirely, whether or not one has the chops to make a map.

I think the map editor is really going to be a great selling point for the PC gamers. I wouldn't be surprised if some X Box gamers bought the PC version just to use this feature.

Bungie won't need to make ANY new maps for the PC version then, cause that's what the players are for now.
