Here is the updates thread for the custom campaign. Below is what the campaign in its current stage is. The campiagn is now in production.

*IF YOU DID NOT BEAT HALO 3 YET DO NOT READ THE CAMPAIGN!!!*

*The actions the covenant take may not make sense at all
*the story may not make sense at all

Mission 1

Earth is under attack once again. A handfull of covenant cruisers managed to survive the
blast that destroyed the ark(MC got to earth this time, instead of getting trapped in space forever). They make a slipspace jump to earth. You are aboard one of 10 spaceships orbiting earth when a bunch of covenant cruisers come into the area. Several boarding parties enter the ship and attempt to kill you and the crew. You manage to fight your way to an escape pod and the mission ends as the ship blows up.

Mission 2

The escape pod crashes near a rebuilt section of new mombassa. A nearby pelican picks you up while your still unconsious(the pod fell really far, duh even a spartan would get knocked out). When you wake up, the pelican is over new mombassa during a covenant invasion. The pelican gets shot down and you start battling. You drive the ship away and get in a longsword and follow it.

Mission 3

The cruiser stops over a military base. The ship starts deploying troops, but you kill them all. Cortana calls in a pelican and you board it.

Mission 4

You get taken to a battle cruiser over a huge military base which is being invaded by covies. This is supposed to be the biggest mission so far besides mission 2, since your fighting off an enourmous invasion. After a while the covenant get sick of you and start glassing the planet. You quickly get back on the battle cruiser and make a random slipspace jump.

Missions 5-?

The ship comes out of slipspacespace near Onyx. You land on the planet. At this point the story for Onyx is not decided yet.

After Onyx missions....

Knowing that every single human colony has been glassed now, your ai scans the largest area possible for somewhere sutible for life. Eventually he detects another halo(beta halo, instillaion 01). He decides you and the remains of the ships crew should land on that halo and basically start a new life there, once the flood's eliminated.

Last mission

You arrive at the chamber containing the flood. You have to run inside, plant a nuke, and escape before you blow up with the rest of the flood.

There will be a public beta of mission 2 at some point. I am also considering making a ui that Goes with the campaign. Each level will include an easter-egg similar to skulls from halo 2 and 3, but this time it's a random biped.

dude if u didnt even know how to change a weapon of an AI i think this will be impossible for u (yes i know u will say u have a team)....gl anyway

Oh wow, ANOTHER person who thinks they can create a whole campaign.....

Umm, this is continuing from the WIP earth only campaign thread. I still got a good team of people.



I know how to now.

These missions are pretty big... and it would only mean more work combining all those bsp's into one. There are actually pretty experienced people currently in on the project.

All but 1 or 2 missions are almost the size of the bungie campaign levels. You think they would've combined all those levels?

yes IT ISNT POSSIBLE JUST BUY THE GAME its realy worth then trying to greate whole campaign !!

All of you who think this project sucks can simply not download it. There's nobody forcing you to play it. If you want to tell me it will be an epic fail do it over a private message. I'm tired of being criticized for everything I make a topic about.

i not really experienced in any way(only completed 17 maps none submitted to the site though) but thinks it a good campain. u can submitt it all as 1 zip.file coz you can just make all the seperate levels and add them all into a archive of 1(it will be a big zip.file though)

Progress on mission 1 has just begun.

now, as interesting as this all sounds, i think you should come up with something more original. weve all played in new mombasa, weve all played in a ship being attacked by covenant ships, and onyx was destroyed by sentinels...
try making a different story with different levels and see what happens.

A round of applause given to someone not important, and i'm being serious, if people want to criticise him go ahead but do it to a certain extent the way you guys are acting (not pointing fingers) is pretty ignorant of his feelings. Besides criticism is BS anyway in my opinion but thats just me, if ur just going to shoot down his ideas and discourage him don't even post, as he said if you must be a d*ck-head about it, do it in a private message, not here where he will be made to feel like the hard work going into this project will turn out to be an "epic fail". Got ur back Someone:)

I have one problem with that. New Mombasa was destroyed...

Edited that in.

The new mombassa level was actually the inspiration for this campaign, and the level is actually a bit different than halo 2. One of the things I like with this level is that it is open, unlike most gameplay of a campaign I've seen, where you are restricted to following the same route. This level also uses the same map as in the halo 2 e3 gameplay.

^ though sometimes i find that hard in campains unless you have exact instructions on where to go. I think we are guna need to script a lot of nav points... or some mission assingments that it says....

DUDE. Your missions are too basic. You need to still develope them some more. Their are tons of flaws in there. You wrote a paragraph sauing ti is a whole campaghn. Do you think all bungie did was write a paragrapgh and then they started making it. I don't think so. They went through tons of stages to get to their final product. How long do you plan on working on this. This should take longer than a year. But you don't seem to have experience like you even stated so don't take a huge bite. Go little and make a simple single player level to play around with and learn. And make that single player advanced so you learn all of the tools you will have to know. After that and you still want to amke this and put more than a year into this than go ahead. But because I doubt you ahve that much time and dedication this won't get done.

So you got a better idea for a campaign?

EDIT: Changed the campaign slightly to make more sense.

"more sense"....i dont think living in a huge floating ring has much sense...even worse if ur going to blow it up just after that
