In the writer's class I attend we are doing something really cool for the Midterm. We have to write screenplays and the best 5 will be made into movies by the class. However, since the one i've already drafted would be impossible to film in real life, I have little choice but to film it with Halo. And for once I need a custom map to get the job done.

So this is what the map needs:

Setting: Zanzibar
Two teams:
1. One is Flood (Human Combat Forms only, about 30 or so at one time) that spawn in the water and walk toward the beach. Armed with pistols, SMGs, maybe 1 or 2 with rocket launchers.
2. The other group is a bunch of Spartans (white). They're armed with the carbines in CMT Snow Grove or the 50 Caliber snipes from Coldsnap. They fight against the Flood and should be capable of driving hogs (or at least manning the guns). (The AI from 'Assault on Hang em High' would be perfect.)

Somewhere hidden in the back (on the top of the base, maybe) is a Pelican filled with Yellow Spartans armed with covenant carbines (if possible, with the Samurai Halo 3 armor) who have the same AI abilities as the white Spartans.

Vehicles: the 1 pelican, 1 scorpion tank near the base behind the wall and 4 LAAG hogs (destructable).

Other weapons: Besides the ones previously described, have a few shotguns, assault rifles and battle rifles lying around.

Gametypes: I only need Slayer.

If anyone could get to work on this, please let me know and tell me when it's done. I look forward to seeing it!

You should just rip Zanzibar and place AI, weapons, and vehicles in it. Then just learn some scripting.

How? Apparently you can't just add tags to a Map, it has to be added during creation.

Don't know, I don't map.

Didn't I hear something about Masters saying he would maybe release the MPv2 ones?


Also, the below things in bold and underlined are either:
1) VERY hard to do
2) Is not possible


1) 30 guys will lag so badly,
2) You won't get CMT's Ma5K anytime soon,
3) The Coldsnap sniper is noobish
4) When asking for the Halo 3 armor, pay the person 5 billion dollars because it's REALLY hard.
5) Pelican and tank do not work well in Zanzibar
6) Making destructible vehicles is hard, only CMT's H2_Coagulation has 'good' ones.
Good luck, good bye, there is no hope when you make a request this insane. To really do something good for midterm, you have to do it yourself, instead of making other people doing the whole thing for you.

1) It worked in Assault on Hang Em High.
2) Fine. Christ.
3) The purpose of the map is to make a movie, not to play a game on. Weren't you paying attention?
4) I've seen models for all the Halo 3 armor permutations, according to the description all that was needed was a skin. Doesn't sound all that hard, and certainly not something to polish pewter over.
5) See 3.
6) Then take the ones from there. I don't give a damn how it's done, I just asked for someone to do it.

This isn't an 'insane' request, I asked for a map that if someone wanted to do, they could do. There's no need to blow up in my face because I asked for 'something that couldn't be done'.

Also, I fail to see where you think i'm making others do my Midterm for me. The project is to make a movie, not a map. No one is by any means doing the work for me. Whether or not I get the custom map that I would like to have makes no difference because when it comes down to it, i'll still have to film, which is the focus of the project. I'm not 'cheating', i'm not 'being lazy', and how dare you come up to me and lecture me on morales.

I asked for help on a map, if you're not willing to help, go away. I don't need people pissing and moaning about how what i'm asking them to do is 'impossible'. It isn't. Shut up. I know it can be done because i've seen it done with my own two eyes. Will it be hard? Yes, but that's why i'm asking. If you don't feel up to the challenge, then just walk away, but I don't need your attitude.

I'll settle for about 30 human flood combat forms coming out of the water with 50 cal sniper and a covenant carbine available on the map.

Or failing that, just tell me how to extract zanzibar and throw in the bipeds so I can do it myself.

I have never ripped a map but I know you need HEK+, and you need Saipen for AI, vehicles, and weapons.

I actually ripped a coldsnap warthog using hek+, it was cool

Like I ripped every tag even cooler. I have about40 billion tags after ripping every map I have.

There is no model for Hayabusa helmets. Make it yourself, or divide by zero to get it.

There's no Hayabusa in there.
