If any of you have ever played coluseum, it was a map where i tested the mechanics of SP maps for halo ce. I am making a second version and let me tell you, you will want to play it. i have many new weapons revolutionary to halo ce (i wont tell you what they are for fear of leakage) and a ton of new game play elements. there will be a boss battle, and several special items scattered throughout the map that will help you with your mission assuming you collect them before the boss battle. one element i am especially pleased with is my injectable weapons system, as seen in the recent title Bioshock. you start with a pistol loaded with 3 rounds, no shields, and no hud. you are immediatly confronted by MANY AI and must escape. you start the game as the hunted, but if you collect the right weapons, you become the hunter, and the game becomes very fun.

there will also be a MP version, with a modified version of the map. it will have most of the weapons seen in the SP version, to give you all a chance to pit your powers against each other.

this will be my retiring map, as i have spent coming up on 6 months on this map, and the halo 2 editing kit looks very promising. i hope you will all enjoy it once it is released.

i want to see some pics as well.

A screenshot is worth a 1000 words, something to think about.

The map sounds interesting, but like the other posts above, post some pics..

im sure it will be an awsome project from Sonic but a couple pics wouldnt hurt.

You said it is pretty far state into completion but hten the way you wrote you paragragh, you said it will have this. Telling me that you are about to begin. I don't expect much from this because if it was anygood there would be pictures right now.

I would post pictures but i want to keep as much of i have worked on on the downlow as possible. The map and gameplay will be much more fun if you figure it all out at once in one map, not if i show you everything here. search tiam233 on youtube to see a short preview of a few of the weapons i will have in the map.

BTW i never actually mentioned the release date for the map lol. i expect it to be finished by thanks giving or sooner.

If you never actually mention the release date, why does your thread title say Coluseum II release date? Pictures of something is a lot better then nothing. Why not post pictures of the weapons if you don't want to reveal your map?

Here are a few spoilers revealing the story line:
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

You wake up shot down in an arena nearly identical to the first coluseum. you hear a strangely familiar voice over your transmitter, although you have no idea who is talking. The man introduces himself as Kuze (coo-zay) and helps you fight through the covenant/flood infested arena. he eventually explains to you he is trapped deep within the installation and requires your assitance to escape. after fighting many a flood and covenant, you eventullay find an injection canister. you pick it up and inject it through your armors injection ports and get a lovely surprise....your hand catches fire but surprisingly it doesnt hurt, and your are able to shoot forth a barrage of white hot uber pWnage. you get to the deepest part of the arenas series of tunnels and are locked in, when the voice over the radio explains he was involved in the SPARTAN II roject, one of your long lost physical therapists. he was slipped several of the drugs used to enhance you, but overdose has caused a horrible mutation. he frees you from your temporary chamber and leads you to the final room of the arena, where an evil cackling over the radio explains that you are the last remaining threat to Kuze's power, and must be eliminated. thats where the last boss battle occurs. The beta script files for the map take approximately 13.67 seconds to compile in sapien. you can tell ive been doing alot of typing lately...

Out of all the "human enhancement projects gone wrong" stories, FarCry Instincts to me is the best [/opinion]. However, this sounds interesting too. Gotta love mutants.

I agree. Although I'd say Bioshock, (which that whole thing seems to be based off of....) Is either tied or a really close second in my mind... Cuz you're a genetically altered superhuman freak in both of them... Though in Far Cry you go back to a more primal state, and Bioshock you go to a more futuristic state... Weird...

yay i like it..cuze the first colusseum was very dumb......u get on a warthog, kill some elites and grunts with it....then u get to a pool...u kill teh hunters...and thats it...
