... I am practical. If it turns out that singleplayer isn't supported, you will look silly, stupid, or both. Theres a difference between being hopeful but realistic (me) and seeing what you want to see (you). Bungie has specifically stated more than once these tools will allow for multiplayer content to be created. That implies the tools won't create singleplayer content, but it doesn't rule out the possibility. It would be prudent to say its a possibility, but there is a chance it won't happen.
Oh don't give me this "you're just hopeful" bull. Go ahead, say the textures aren't going to be high quality, simply because Bungie "never stated it." :rolls eyes: It is not prudent to say there will be new maps for H2V, simply because new maps came with HPC, as it would not be prudent to say we won't be able to edit single player content, simply because we can do so with HEK.

The HEK cannot create single player map files correctly. They don't work right. CMT used hacked tools and files, which are publicly available, but only to knowledgeable people. Without Kornman there would be no CMT mod.
So you honestly think none of the HEK tools had a huge effect on the mod? No, of course not Chewy, because we tend to look past the obvious more then enough around here, it seems. Converting the single player maps to multiplayer maps is not brain surgery, nor does it take a crack team of people to do it and figure it out. If you honestly think that most of the work wasn't done in Sapien, Tool, and Guerilla, then you need a reality check.

There are 3 kinds of maps, multiplayer, singleplayer, and UI. The files are still .map files but there are differences between a SP, MP and UI map file.
I probably know alot more about map making than you, but even if I don't, you are still wrong to assume singleplayer creation will be available just because of an extension and similar tools. Extensions mean nothing.
Let me guess, "because you've been here longer?" I've followed Halo PC since the day it came out, so please, don't patronize me like as if I don't know what I'm talking about. Also, extensions means everything. Prometheus will support H2V; but, what, we're not going to include it simply because it's not released by Bungie? And, what, we're just going to also generally assume that we will have no tools to mod the crap out of campaign maps? But, ah, nothing is official until Bungie says so! Nope, because of that, this rules out the educated assumptions of what they might do, even after looking at what they've done in the past! [/sarcasm]
