Does anyone know of any maps that resemble the early versions of halo? From like 1999 and 2000? If there are none, I'll gladly make one myself... but with help of course...

It would be awesome if we could re-create someting like that with some of the old weapons and such.
So... Consider this recruitment... I need help doing this.
Anyone interested?

EDIT:
I've talked to a few people and changed the project. I'm not going to re-do the campaign, or make a few multiplayer maps either.
Me and corndogman decided on a 3-4 level story with enviornments based off of early halo builds.
I also need help with weapons, like the old "boring device" which I have the skin for, and a few other old weapons.
other things I'll need help with is...
- AI encounters
- campaign specific things (mission objectives, etc)
- cutscenes and animations
- Textures
- Some BSP modelling (interiors and such)
- misc. minor things.

If you want to help, My Xfire is: Inbasul
Aim: Inbasul
Email: Inbasulhurricane@gmail.com
skype: Inbasul

I'll fill you in with the full story if you contact me.

... Yes they did start from scratch. I'm saying that the halo demos use HUGE open spaces and cool looking interiors. And theres all the weapons they left out. I want to make a map that has huge open spaces, and a little interior for the control room. I'm not talking everything lo-res and stuff like that, I mean re-make the environments because... They were cool and non-linear.

why don't we use that one map (the one in a link in this topic) and make all the weapons and vehicles have very dumbed down polies and make MC look more 1999/2000 ish (lol) and then make guns like the chaingun (ok modify an existing one) and stuff like that...... but if your looking for an RTS then no thats not possible in the halo CE engien.... just wait for halo wars..... and if you don't have an xbox then your just not going to be able to have the RTSness you want..... sorry.

I don't want the RTS thing. I want a map that looks similar to the last two builds in that one "halo history" thing. I do want some of those cool weapons they had, too...

I was on HMT for a lil wile then was gone for a long time and am not part of HMT anymore really... I will work with them in the future though if they can handle this plan... I seriously do doubt anyone can do something like this, but I want to try it. I'm already making plans for a lot of things.
If those guys in HMT are by themselves, I might give up on it. If I get a few more dedicated people, however, we could probably pull this off.

I'm aware of that and I would like to say one thing.
If you are in control of something it's a bad thing to quote something out of context, it's lying.
And BTW, I said Early versions of HALO not HALO 2.

Unless they changed the English language it is exactly on topic. It may not be the answer to what is going on in your head, after all I am not Kreskin, but it is an answer to your written question.

anyways back to pre xbox to answer this guys question pre xbox was the old mac version that bungie was messing with but never released it was back in the 1990's when it started and slowly morphed into what we call halo 1

errors with pre xbox mac version:
no ai at the time so that means you would be shooting motionless bodies
the graphics were below what you all would call a noob job
positives:
good story for a prequel to halo since the master cheif in the pre xbox had an old version of mjolnir and in the game the sky that had the ring on it it showed the ring was still being built so this shows that it was almost in the era of our time only more futuristic
the ideas for weapons and vehicles were good
the weapons were on the back yes thats right h3 was not the only halo to have backpack weapons
creatures that were brought in the halo ring to make it look more natural and the creatures could be killed and everything
unknown:
why didnt they just go through with it?
why throw away all that hard work on awesome weapons and awesome vehicles just because 1 man in the team said it looked odd

also the pre xbox was a over the shoulder version not an fps though you could set it to fps

-First of all, there was no AI at the time. You think Bungie would have released a game with no AI characters? They scripted E3 because they were in a rush and they wanted it it be cinimatic.
-The answer to your "unknowns" is thatthey were bought my MS and told to change...
-BTW the graphics were pretty good at the time, it was just old.
-I just thought of putting backpack weapons in it today... Odd you posted that...
-Actually the "storyline" of this "quick campaign" is set in the future during the re-building of a halo...
-MC was not in an earlier Mjolnir suit. It's just called "older design concept."
- I'm thinking of just leaving the maps in FP. But... If we have enough time (or aren't to lazy) we might make it 3p. If not, theres the bitter bananna Third person cam!
