Will bungie release a map editor for halo 2 xbox? or will the H2V map editor program be compatable with the xbox version .maps and other halo 2 files? I'm tired of using dothalo, insolence and yelo to get AI or modded stuff on my xbox.
also, will bungie EVER release the source code for the xbox version?

To answer your first question, go to New Mombasa.

To answer your second question. Hold your breath.

$20 says they won't release the source. Period.

They liscenced it to the Stubbs the Zombie project, because one of the guys developing it started Bungie.

I've asked one of the developers if I could get any source or documentation on Halo's stuff. Immediate answer was no, they've got loads of legal documents on it.

Not to say that they couldn't lift those, but they probably won't.

You're talking about Halo.

Halo PC has a map editor. We call it "HEK".

Has Bungie released a map editor for Halo 2 on the Xbox in the last three years that the games been out? What's that, No? Well, you're a little late to be expecting one now.

And sure, let's blame Microsoft, and indirectly Bungie, for not releasing thier hard work and intellectual property to the public. Who might stand to reap a profit from it without sharing with the original creators. God forbid that ever happens.

Almost every other PC game that comes with an editor have the source code, or a first party set of tools.

At least that I am aware of.

That's because most of those "new" games are derived from other source codes. You don't honestly believe Half-Life and Unreal developed their own source codes, do you? Quake anyone?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Half-Life 2 used their in-house developed Source engine while the Unreal series used a version of the in-house developed Unreal Engine.

And correct me if I am wrong, but he asked for the source code not the games graphics engine.
