Hmm... Sounds awsome, though i dont think i'll be getting Vista... I just hope that the "Dedicated/User-created maps" are a technology used in Halo 3 on the 360.
Or ima cap a -blam!-.
I repeat. If it can be done for H2V, Then to it for H360 (Please?)
Also a big no NO! Do you not know the size of these files? The halo ce maps are anywhere between 20 megs unpacked all the way up to over 100 megs *the largest one that I have is downflow at 120 megs*. Now think about what people would do? Go into a server without the map and start downloading this huge map that may take quite a long time to download due to it's size and their internet speed.
Halo 2 map sizes range from 25MB (backwash-esque) to 50 (Terminal)
Ivory tower is 45,123 KB
foundation is 36,718KB
No maps are above the 60 MB cap, I belive.
Those are the maps that come with halo 2. The maps that I were talking about are user created maps. The difference is that the user created maps are naturally larger than the bungie maps. They typically contain custom things, which have to be included within the map itself. The bungie maps on the other hand are lesser in size because some of the recources are shared, like vehicles, werapons, and sometimes textures. When H2PC maps come out, I can almost guarentee that they will be larger in size due to user created things.
Just a comparison, the largest halo multiplayer map created by bungie/gearbox is just under 18 megs.
About halo 3 having user created content... User created maps could be a possibility, but I highly doubt that. I also doubt that there will be dedicated servers that a person could host.
Also dark mod, I don't know if you know this; but Halo pc *custom edition actually* has the ability to create user created maps. So as a comparison, why did bungie not have a person natively able to create maps for Halo 2?
