I'm starting an ambitious project

To make an high detailed and very fun to play sp campain (that doesnt lag or has any flaws)

The bsp's are all together for the first map are quite large( as for any other map of this campain)

It will have an halo style story and it will be full of action and high quality cinematics

I'm still keeping most of the story or anything about this sp map an secret for now

The production of this map is going to start when I have finished donuts sp scripting classs

Besides people who make the maps i'll will also be needing

People to make scrips
People to who can make custom animatiosn for the cinematics
People to make textures for in the map
People to make vehicles (think of an destroyable tank, destroyable warthog ect)
Maybe an person who can make custom music for the map (if not i'll do that myself)
Voice actors for the cinematics

The time where the map takes place is between when the masterchief is 18 (when he gets his spartan amor) and when he is about 40 years old (in the book the fall of reach there is an gap of about 20 years in the storyline)

I'm not saying that i'm to follow the story line of halo 100% because I hope i'll manage to get some brutes into the map (who where introduced into the regular covenant army in halo 2)

Any people who are interested then message me or leave an post at this topic

If you arent good at any 1 of these things that i have mentioned then the chance is big that i cant use you (Because of the high standard that i want for this map so i dont mean it in an mean way)

If you arent that good then i'll sugest you'll go to halo school http://hceschool.freeforums.org/portal.php
Then if you inprove your skills until an certain level then i can use you.

If your interested then contact me with xfire: GameGodLazy

listin to your link, you can learn scripts and textures at HCE school.

the destroyable vehicles just need the damaged model labeled ~damaged and health in the collision geometry with death effects, you can get modeling classes at HCE school lol

lol sure after this i aint got any ideas of what i want to do after this project so thats an deal

The basic idea of this campain is indeed an 3 maped campain maybe an 4 depends on how the story goes

The storyline of the first 2 maps is done

i'll have to write the end story so i dont know if it going to be 3 or 4 maps

I think we need to get a collaberative project and make a short fully custom campaign.


If we can get it to be a kickass campane it may get a few/lot of people that play halo normal to come over to halo ce.

We may need to get all of the map teams to work on one project "poor head person bald by 20".

If halo ce is dieing why not send it out in a blaze of glory than just letting it fade away.

Lazy as I said lastnight IM IN!

One idea for the campaine might be that it dosn't have a ending just keep on bringing out eposids of the life of the MC.

The first few would be your ideas for the maps but leave the rest open to whoever wants to make them.

All costom tags made could be up loaded to halomaps for others to use ect.

I think you see what I meant.

well i mean most of the gap was explained in the fall of reachi f i remember because the flood takes place right after so i mean it goes in increments i think not just from 18 to 40 18 was before they were augmented and 40 is the point now so there were missions in between then that it talked about

just post script requests here.. havnt you looked around? anytime at school I skim past a script question, I give them the general idea of what they want and the main key comands and how they work (yes, I have hs_doc here with me lol, and I have the HEK programs on my USB stick, although it is usless since I dont have any tags with me lol)

lol in the fall of reach there was an moment in an opera room or soemthing

where they have been 2 times before in their lives

When they begon the training (age 6 to 8) when they where promoted to spartans

And after decates af fighting, The books explains the masterchief havent seen most of them in mroe then 10 years because all of the spartans (+\- 30) where fighting the covenant in every corner of uncs controlled space i nteams of 4 to 6 spartans

So thats the gap what i'm revering to

I'm not saying that i will follow the story of the masterchief or am i saying that i'm going to follow the story of 1 of the other spartans

I'm just saying the main character that you will be playing is 1 of the spartans

That was more of a stealth mission.

GOing around slaughtering is more fun.

indeed i'm hopping to bring in a few large scale infrantry battles between marines and yourself against an big covy army

I forgot to tell that the third time that mc was in the opara room was where he had seen those spartans who he havent seen in decades

Like i cant remember exactly why they where i there

I think it was because they where going on an mission to find and destroy the covy homeland

but i'm not sure

Large scale battle would be nice, but absolute murder for lesser PCs.

if your gonna have a battle that big, you realy should add the AI player fusions I made, cause if its that big a battle, your gonna need it lol (and mb a fully loaded sniper lol) imagine having the one spartan taking out a sniper, bang bang bang and 50 covie die lol (cause my AI can get perfect head shots lol, mb start the battle out with him incontrol with you having a sniper, then afterwards you have to trigger it after breaks of not using him, after you get some progress, ill give you the script and instructions)

lol i dont like ai player fusions
I like to depend on my own skills

And dont think of 50 ai in 1 crowded space

It wont be that large

With smart planning an map making i going to try to make it seems like an huge battle but it actually isnt

And yes it could mean that anybody that has an slow pc cant play it

But to be honest i dont care about that

I'm making this 1 campain for 3 reasons

1: Because i want to

2: because halo ce is beginning to fade away slowly and instead of watching an watch it slowly die, i want to end it with an bang

3: maybe if it is promoted right more people of halo pc would play halo ce and maybe that will save halo ce from slowly dying

ahh what about the people with an p3 or an regular p4 computer

Either they get an better pc ( or jsut upgrade) or watch people play the map on youtube

because i want to end with an blast (i will however keep making things for halo ce) i want as high quality as possible

(i think if you have an pc that has 2 ghz you will be okey)

If you're trying to bring over people over to CE then putting in maps that require computer upgrades ain't the way to do it.

lol oke

If people see this then maybe they'll considder stepping over to halo ce

Then if they dont have the pc to run this map then they have a lot of other maps to choose from.

But it aint going ot be that high of quality

Take cmt or zteam that is the quality i'm aiming for

like i cant put about 30 spartans in the story

So i'm going to focus of a few main characters in teh story line

But sinds msot of the spartans names (besides teh ones we know) or number arent mentioned in the books so i also could make my own characters and and make an campain about them

I already make the ai for each spartan so that problem is solved

What you could do is finding out how cmt got their spartan ai to move properly

You know if you use the default animations of the mc and make an spartan ai that the movements seem really odd like when they turn their head without using nay animations
