Sweet!

I really hope this will explode like the UT2k4 community. Modding games has always been fun and this will make Halo 2 even better. Hope H3 has a mapmaker...

3 words... Vehicle Stunt Track


heck yes! :) there were a few really good vehicle stunt tracks for halo: Custom Edition, and they were really fun. with the ease and power of the new map making tools (along with new physics) stunt tracks will be so much more fun :).

I, personally, am going to save like freaking crazy to get a good Vista computer (the one i'm using now is, obviously, XP, and its crappy. the only good thing is the 150 gig hard drive)

anybody know the price range of a good Vista comp that'll run Halo 2 excellently (no framerate problems or anything, with exception of lag. lag is inevitable). Also, i would want the comp to have lots of room to push the map making tools to their limits without 300 hour loading times and crashing.

if it helps u to come up with a price, i'm planning on building a custom one. those seem to be cheaper (and much better) than those company brand pre-built ones.

The few, the proud, the leet.

Oh, I just remembered that lecture some of the Halo 2 dev team gave about toolsets. I cant remember which one it was, it's been a long time, but they showed a lot of slides with screens of their tools and all with black censor bars over everything almost humerously.

Would it be safe to assume that we will get a high level of functionality of the tools with this release? Such as being able to view compiled model data in real time rendering and so forth in guerilla?

dazman23, {CRG}daz from Halo:CE (Custom Edition)

Ok here is what i have got to say:

1) This is for Halo 2 so stop asking for Halo 3 or about the Mapmaking for Halo 3.

2) This is for PC there will be no need to use your xbox to help make maps and i'm sure you can't use the tools to make the maps for the xbox Halo 2, unless you make a third party program that converts it to the xbox format but even for halo CE thats a rare program.

3) you should still be able to make maps with gmax, which is free and 3dsmax if you want to pay. who knows they may make it so you could make maps in meya.

4) I don't mind them making HEK easyer to use but i just hope they don't disable most things on it. I still want to make custom bipeds, vehicles, scenary, etc, etc.

Come check out http://www.modacity.net

I recommend everyone excited about Vista map making to visit http://www.h2vista.net/ to prepare for Halo 2 Vista's release and http://ghost.halomaps.org/ to become familiar with Bungie's HEK before attempting to create maps for Halo 2 Vista.

why the hell did they not put a halo 2 map editor in the xbox game similar to far cry even if the maps could only be used for custom games.
