This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

come look at my mod for Halo!! why does no1 come to my posts

u guys will be the first cause halo-mods is down

im in the middle of modding blod gulch in halo with spark edit (some of you may be familiar with this)
-i have 6 cool pics.
-it is hard to make out the shapes and stuff cause there is almost no helpful/nice people at halo-mods.com who will give me the bitmaps
-the circles in the pics show where the wrthogs are
-there are way nicer people here so: can som1 send me the bitmaps in a zip or rar file?

pic 1
pic 2
pic 3
pic 4
pic 5
pic 6
the only bad thing is, modding halo doesnt seem very important, the experience waiting for mods is much different than it is for freelancer

PS-dont give me the idea of looking in the (non-existant)disk, cause i just asked som1 for the map file; just so i can make this mod. other than that, its comming along pretty well
EDIT: ^^that means i dont have the actual game^^

I've never played Halo, but I know sort of what it is. I'm impressed with your ability to put your attention into such an endeavor. The need for expanding your mind's ability to create a technical work like that has spilled into your posting. It's been some weeks since I couldn't understand one of your posts.

yeah but it doesnt seem like an accomplishment
people will download it and play it for a day or so, then they will download a new one

people who dl mods here will play them forever, and people will host dedicated servers with them

Just wait until Half-Life 2 and you can mod anything you want to add to the game.

I (personally) see alot of coming mods for HL2, like the original, with it's physics it is going to be amazing. Halo on the other hand ....... well ........ here goes a list of comparasions :

Halo:

1: Doesn't have Physics Engine, like Half-Life 2
2: Is graphically inferior to HL2 by far, judging on videos released.
3: Has a minor story compared to Half-Life 2's predicted one (G-Man anyone ?)
4: Is a plain FPS in some new paint. New paint doesn't mean the wood under it will rot, huh ?
5: Mimimal stealth , it still uses by large the old "shoot-what-moves" technique.
6: The usual weapon types, yuck ......
7: Weak lead ( "Master Chief ?" ) compared to HL2's Gordon Freeman, whom most saved through Black Mesa in the original hit game.
8: Normal FPS situation, kill,kill,kill
9: Needs no thought whatsoever, shoot what moves. In HL2 you have to avoid scanners, guards and use different techniques to get through the game
10: Reasonably Stupid AI, HL2's combine soldiers break down doors, jump through windows , search for you and so on.

And yes, I'm a Half-Life 2 fan, sue me

ok no, we are not going to turn this into a freakin "THIS IS BETTER!!!!!" thread ok?

i just wanted to show u guys my mod and get feedback. the first thing you do is start saying how HL2 will be better and how u think halo sucks. do I LOOK LIKE I CARE!!??
besides, it doesnt matter how bad they make halo 2 anymore. it will still be bought by +billions, hell, they could make halo 1 and just put a sticker on the disk that says halo 2 and it will still be bought by +billions; do you know why? cause MS has every1 eating off the palms their hands with halo!!!

Okay, wolfy, stay calm. I know you're mad but there is a reason behind this. Not very many people come to a topic about Halo because this is a Freelancer fan site. If it were a Halo fan site you would have a lot of visitors. Just take a deep breath, relax and go get something cool to drink. There, don't you feel better already. Go punch a pillow or couch if you want to get your anger out, just don't take it out on those wo really can't intelligently contribute to a discussion they know nothing about.

I feel like Dr. Phil.

Sorry Wolfy,

I don't quite know what you are doing as I don't kow Halo at all.

But, like SnS said earlier. I like that you're doing this anyway 'cause
it shows a dimension about you that I didn't know about.

Post Fri Mar 12, 2004 8:50 pm

-as for you others...i know there are a few halo players in this forum!!

For that outburst, I'll compare it to Vice City.

Halo........ :

1) Doesn't have a good storyline as Vice City, Set on Planet Halo , couldn't the people creating the game be more creative with the title, like Tommi Verceti and his associates.

2) FPS on rails, no originality, shoot on sight, in Vice city you can do whatever you like.

3) Weapons ..... Vice City has Chainsaws,Molotovs Cocktails and railguns ,need I say more ?

4) Doesn't have as good originality as Vice, in Vice City each area has a distinct Flavour and you could pick out an area by looking for landmarks. In Halo, they usually look the same.

5) Vice has lots of Different Vehicles, but Halo only has a pick few.

Keep up the tantrum, and I'll post more things
Good Day ....

Halo:
1) has depth in graphics, although the design is slightly sloppy, it captures the advanced tech level perfectly
2) gives you the perfect simulation of war(O.T. id like to see you use stealth in TFC), and shoot, shoot, shoot is FUN!!
3) if you use the shoot-anthing-that-moves approach, you will most likely get yourslef shot, because you get support somethimes.
4) accurate inverntory setup, only able to carry a sidearm and primary weapon, in GTA:VC you can carry a sword and AK-47 and a rocket launcer and sniper rifle and uzi and baseball bat without any troubles, Realistic?

Halo is more of a strategy FPS than a tactical FPS, it forces you to think in the overview type of thinking.

oh, and what else?
oh yes...

*shoots Neo_kuja with antimatter cannon*

ok, im finished, whos next?

Well , you can carry only one submachine gun in the game, so negate the 2nd Sub-Machine gun weapon (Uzi/AK-47). In real life you COULD carry all that, with a bit of practise.

The Sword and Sniper Rifle could be strung across your back , with tough fabric straps to stop them slipping off. The Rocket Launcher could be held with one hand balanced on your shoulder, and the AK-47 could be folded up ( it can be !) and put in a inside pocket, and the baseball bat could be held in your free hand.

There
