is there a mapping team working on a map that is a single player campaign level that two people could play on like playing co-op on the xbox? just woundering

hes saying a port to the xbox. i have been wondering about this for ages. people have done it, but i don't know how well. there are the obvious issues, hud being a HUGE one, and how would u access the sp map from the xbox? you would need a new ui too. another thing, the xbox's hardware is quite inferior to a computer's so mostly anything would kill it.

renember it can handle halo2

A co-op campaign in Halo CE can't be done.

You edited Donut's post? Yes, I understand you're just trying to say port to xbox.
The only co-op game I've played was this:

It played pretty well, with everyone being the same color and having a green arrow, but the weapons...are very unbalanced. Ok...that was strange, fixed it so I'm not talking from you....O_o

It can be done if the map is multiplayer but plays like a singleplayer map. I also bet somebody will figure out a way to make co-op on the PC, too.

It doesn't sync. The clients will be shooting at nothing and getting killed by invisible enemies.

Pretty much the only hope of the client to hit something is the needler or grenade spam.

It can't be done, and anyone who says it can doesn't know what they are talking about.
Even Tiamat tried.

This discussion on Halo CE Co-op has been around probably since it was released but its the same answer. No.

There have been theorys on some ways it might work but nobody has tried them and they wouldn't work.

As far as I know the XBOX version doesn't have syncing AI either, it works because it is split screen, both players are on the same console. So, I was wondering, could sombody restore split-screen for PC? I doubt it very much and I would not have mentioned it if I hadn't noticed that some tags (the pistol scope zoom mask) have a split screen version.

yes, actually theres a "respawn co-op" efect

What about braindead ai? they'll sync just fine, if they don't do anything =D

wat if u make it so that wen u join the coop game u spawn wer eva the person hoo started is at and that the joinee sorta connects to to persons comp a sees wat ai wer killed and place the ai in thr rite place so that the joinee can see them? mb mb

The closest you can have is one team as the "bad guys" and another team as the "good guyss"

isn't that basically just your team slayer matchup?

With an app, mb. Hack the ai data, and pipe it thrue a port or whatever. That would be over 100x more complicated than Patrick's portal app, and would choke the bandwidth, dude, but it's remotely possible and fun to ponder.

ok people, the coop effects are there becuase bungies left them in there. have we also noticed that theres also a big bitmap that says xbox?

every coop tag is still around; the widgets, effects, scripts, ect.

just cause the maps have the data to, doesnt mean haloce.exe has the data to use that.

What about Halo.exe?

Huh... No. This debate still arises now and then and in 2005 it was settled. No co-op mode because there no split screen code in the game, AI does not and cannot sync in multiplayer across a network because there is no network datagram code in or functionality in the main program, No ragdoll physics because the physics engine does not support it, no, no, no. Over and done with, forever and ever, ad infinitum, so long and thanks for all the fish!

Why fish?

Do it.... Although, animal cruelty...

come on, all he has to do is add in the credits "Note: No squirels were hurt in the making of this map, and all burning squirels are fictional"


lol, that song rocks; dolphins leaving hte planet and thanking the humans for the fish and telling em to enjoy their deaths lol

You will all be pwnd when those fuzzy little ninja's hear about this

It is a quote from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and the title of the fourth book in the trilogy - yes that is part of the humor - written by Douglas Adams. It is required reading for all Sci Fi geeks who have a sense of humor or irony.

i never actually saw that movie anyways about the squerils.. i was thinking for actor varients we make them act like flood. then like the flood there would be some squeril carirer that have HUGE cheeks and then KABOOOOM!!!!. i think it be funny to see a huge squeril explode into smaller ones

I... I... would download that.

Indeed, the books are awesome, stop talking about the movie and read the books.

The movie??? You can't appreciate it from a movie you need to read the books they are hysterical. You could also get the original BBC radio play transcripts for what became the first book.

me srry next time I do a Book report i'll try to see if i could read it. i don't like reading books for out of school reasons

*sigh* Young'uns these days, they just don't understand how enjoyable reading can be.

Now I hate myself for my faster than average reading/not paying attention as much. I read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy over the summer.... But I usually skip over smaller things... Or forget others in a bit... Its what you get for reading something in about 2 hours i guess...

The host don't care about whether or not the rest can really fight back, or they turn on deathless.
