Just about everyone who has played Halo Custom Edition has at least heard of it. It is probably one of the coolest maps to just mess around in. Do you think tiamat should bring it to Halo 2 Vista with the map maker?

I hope to God no. That map's an overrated unbalanced piece of crap, along with Coldsnap. It's so unbalanced and amateurish it makes me want to uninstall Custom Edition sometimes.

This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

Thank you Kim. I really would rather NOT see hugeass, or coldsnap on H2. That would suck. Its too big for 16 players, unbalanced, overplayed CE map.
It annoys me. Will there even be an H2 CE to do this with?

Hugeass will not appear in Vista, although you would like it to be but im afraid its not the type of map that will appear in it.

That is just about the most super-fant-abulous-most-greatest-beer-drunk-kick-ass idea EVER! for many reasons...

1. the Longsword
2. the Jets
3. it's frickin HUGE
4. Vehicular Teleporters
5. You can down a whole tall-boy of Jeagermeister and crush it on your forehead before you get to the other end (whereas some other maps just keep you an your toes)
6. not a lot of spots for cheap n00b snipers (COME ON AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!)
7. NUKES!
8. Tachikomas (though i like to be able hear the vehicles i drive, so that should be fixed) It's one thing not a to see a car coming, but i want to at least hear the honking horn or screeching tires before i die....
9. I like that the Pelican can go through walls...
10. I like the black battlesuits with just a bit of your team color. Makes it look covert, especially when people nuke the night-switch.

Some things that need improvement, but likely won't happen:
1. Pelican needs to be able to carry vehicles like in Coldsnap
2. Rocket launchers on right-wing of Pelican need to point straight instead of that 45 degree upward angle
3. Leave the tank as a tank. just cause it's a Scorpion doesn't mean you need to turn it into a SCORPION...that thing is butt-ugly....interesting to drive though
4. Nuke explosions need to BIGGER and have a radiation.....thing like in IceWing. Also some kind of "safety protocol" that doesn't allow the cheap n00bs to blow nukes inside bases. that just gets annoying.
5. instead of redundant/support seating in the Longsword, hows abouts some defensive guns, like primary fire would be high velocity, armor piercing rounds, and secondary would be a high velocity rocket launcher. the two redundant spots in the cockpit would be topside mounted turrets, the two guys in the back would be tail-gunners, and the guys by the hatch would have forward mounted lateral defensive turrets with 180 rotation (redundant to the right{starboard} side, and the support to the left {port}). of course co-pilot still gets nuke and missiles, but i think the pilot should at least get a forward mounted laser cannon...er....something sweet like that.
6. Gun turret in the back of the Pelican like in Coldsnap, but instead of sacrificing the sniper position (why am i saving them), you could program two snipers (one on either side)
7. ultimately the Tachis suck, get rid of them altogether
8. Some kind of fortress or fun building in the middle of the map...
9. CAVES AND TUNNELS

How about:
10. Let Bungie decied what friggin' over-rated, noob-infested, way-too-much-vehicle-dependent, and overall lame map they want in H2V.

I don't want to play in a map where the only chance you got of survival is getting on a vehicle, and/or in CTF, flying to the other base for about 5 minutes and when you finally got the flag, someone nukes you.
No, Thank-You Very Much.

and you should stop drinkin' too....

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

Although Coldsnap is kinda fun at times, I'll have to say HELL NO, because it'll attract aimbotters.

With Hugeass, it does have a chance in the H2V world, but with the changes said 2 posts ago.

But it's still a small chance it'll make it into H2V

Retard Kim.

From what i have heard here, Hugeass is a giant map that takes five minutes to get acrosse in a "Jet". There are nukes...........That right there kills Halo. Nuclear weaponry in a First Person Shooter game is compleatly ridiculuos. I'm geussing that it would be a one hit kill for about half the map? Then some noob would be in first place at the end of the game. "OMGZZZ IM PRO. OH MAN I OWNED ALL YOU -blam!- NOOBS HAHAhAHA"
No sniper positions in what im geussing is a very, very large map. What are you going to do if you are stuck in the middle with a sniper rifle? Then get compleatly domminated by "a Tentahdasd" (all i got from others posts.) Vehicle transportation...? Are not the vehicles for transportation in the first place? If you need to get the vehicle trasnported to a place closer to the other teams base then that map is to big. The vehicles are probley extreamly hard to fly, drive or move around in probley.

Lastly, returning to the Nuclear Weapons.
If you need a Nuclear device to kill someone in Halo then you should really be playing some other game. I recommend a RTS (Real Time Stratogy Game) game like Star Craft, were you build up a huge army and send them in to kill another huge army.

I repeate if you are in favore of haveing HugeAss a map created by the Halo 2 PC crew then all i can say is. Don't join a game that takes "Skill" to play. Like a game on Lockout were all your going to do is complain. Saying this person has an Aimbott, This person is hacking but i don't know how. You should just stick to playing you with you dumb HugeAss.

I Can't beilve i wrote this post. It have more than 2000 charaters in it. God i am tired of stupid people.

okay Plas, I don't think you understand how HUGE this map is! Nuke is absolutely necessary, even if it not even half a megaton! heck, mushroom cloud would've been cool!
but that's beside the point. Nukes blast diameter is only a couple hundred metres. and being that the map is over 6KM long, and at least 3KM wide. Plus the Pelican can fly through the walls in the hangar, so really, you get like 7x4, plus lower floor and higher flight ceiling! THIS MAP IS HUGE! NuKE IS NOT BIG ENOUGH! and if that don't float your boat, you can do some pertty farked oop shnart with the Warthogs.....Racing them is fun....when you get 16 guys in there, all one team and friendly fire off so nobody can kill anyone, then you race the Hogs against the tachis to the flag, firing your rockets at eachother.....that's a blast.

secondly, the purpose of jackassery is what ALL CE maps were made for! example, Bansheelands is nowhere near big enough to justify the enhanced speed of the vehicles and weapons! straight shooting fuel rod? who gives a crap if all it does if fly right off the map!

Vista is going to ship with a map editor so that means the user community will be able to create whatever may they desire. 80% of the maps created in HaloCE are unbalanced and not very fun but that did not stop people from making them. Someone will probably make a hugeass map and Wartorn Cove. What I hope someone makes is a Blood Gulch map and a Hang 'em High map. Maybe if we ask Zeph and the CMT boys, but I think they may already have other things planned.

I don't want this piece of crap in H2V, but hey, there's nothing necessarily stopping idiots from making ginormous unbalanced maps lacking in creativity like Hugeass, eh?

They won't put Coldsnap and Hugeass in Halo2PC. You know why? Because Bungie didn't make those maps. If they did have them in the retail version, they'd have to pay the royalties to the author.

Well, obviously, Obi_Wan, but he's referring to the map maker that'll come with H2V.

Ah, yes, didn't read that last line. My bad.

Anyways, I haven't seen a CE map I've liked yet. Maybe instead of bringing in an old Halo CE map someone can use the map maker to make something original and good.

Are you f'real, dude? Go check out some of MotherGoat's maps, or CMT's. Their maps are actually pretty neat and balanced and are overflowing with creativity and originality. Oh, and go look for No Remorse at HaloMaps.org, it's an awesome map.

Really? oh hell forget all the bad crap i've been saying about Vista! I Lov..... wait, do you mean Vista comes with it, or Bungie is bundling it with H2 when they put it on Vista?

If you mean Vista, then i would like to take back all the bad stuff i've said about Vista (pending a test of this map editor and my approval. Should the editor fail, i'm going straight to Mac!)

If you mean H2 will include it, then YAY for Halo, but i would like to take back my take back of the nasty things i said about Vista. I might even say them louder

Booger, try doing a little bit of research for yourself before you ask questions. There are multiple places where it says that Halo will ship with a map editor. Also, use your common sense. Why the hell would Vista (the OS) ship with a map editor? It's not something you would normally see.

yeah, didn't make much sense to me either, but his exact words were:

"Vista is going to ship with a map editor"

Didn't say Halo, just Vista, so i asked because i didn't think Vista would just HAVE it!

Though that would be cool...

  • 08.26.2006 9:41 PM PDT

Actully Hugeass and Coldsnap is good for roleplaying, and most maps are good for roleplaying too, thats why i play them. It would be nice to see a advanced version of hugeass in H2PC balanced and with smaller or larger, and advanced vehicles, i just need maps balanced....
