I think CMT and zTeam. I do not judge by weather or not the content was ripped, but by how good the map is gameplay wise, and how enjoyable it is to play the map.

For an overall best mod/map, I would say CMT because they have shown the most and best work thus far. Are they surpassable? Absolutely. They have pushed the limit with Halo so far, but who is not to say some genius will come out and right SP scripts that make SPv2 look like a kiddy pool? They also make a different kind of mod and don't focus on one exact theme, which is why they have made very good finals; they are diverse in everything, giving everybody a choice on what they personally want to do or which character is their favorite to fight. As of now, CMT is the best because no one has completely surpassed them in general, even though there are some details that have surpassed CMT. So why isn't Zteam the best? Truely, I was not in this community during the times of Zteam, but it Zteam doesn't make everything from scratch. Even though ripping is a difficult and challenging process, the best for the HaloCE community wouldnhave to had made everything from scratch, or near scratch, and show that they can pull excellent models, anims, tags, and other vital elements of HaloCE.

You guys know that CMT's most popular map, Snow Grove, is a mod of Grove_Final?


Yes, Thats Arteens map, who is in CMT. They mod most of his maps.

Also it's more of a person opinion on which team is better.

MOMT (Metroid Online Map Team)

Gets my vote for best map making team. Based of the quality of their mods and the amount of work put into them. Also based on originality and Total customized content based of a very popular video game.

I don't think there are really enough teams to really ask the question. It's hard i think to judge when there are only a few who really produce even decent and nice looking work.

But for sure top 3 are h3mt, CMT and the metroid conversion team. I would like to add the sonic team to that list but their team is like only 2 constant people. I feel so sorry for those two as they just can't seem to get members in for the long haul except themselves.

Zteam rips, but they are responsible for the creation of several very cool devices, and tools in the CE engine. Not only that, they have an amazing animator in there with them.

CMT makes most of its stuff from scratch, and they/we look damn sexy doing it.


Like what tools? The animator steals from Halo 2. Is it Ctrl-Alt-Delete?

H3MT is loosing people I thought, and HmC makes custom weapons instead of Halo 3 remakes.


Yeah, we lost two people, and gained three people, but that doesn't mean we're dying. Even if it's just three members, we'll still never quit what we do. :-/

He doesn't steal things from Halo 2 :\. That wasn't possible yet until finally they made the first ripping program that can rip animations from Halo 2. As said in the video though, that doesn't mean their going to use them, and CAD claims he likes his animations better. Other tools/programs and such, are things like the backpack weapon tags used for CMT, Campaign and UI scripts that for some reason people loved as well.

Simply the best map making team is the one you like the best. Yes, this is somewhat of a change to Dennis' famous "The best operating system is the one that best works for your needs."

Change their name or just die.

And you didn't loose 3 members, you lost me, Higuy, Josh, and Brian.


That was awhile ago, and most of you didn't do anything. The ones that did do something were easily replaced or had their assignments put on other members.

EDIT: H3MT will eventually end. We'll do some custom maps together, but we'll probably move on to a different game engine or just buy one for ourselves.

If I'm not mistaken that's what happened with CMT. They were coagulation map team or what ever it was just remaking h2 coagulation and then decided to make more maps and developed into somethign really great. I might be wrong though please fill me in.

What do you guys think?

The Arteam is the best. Sure, the team only has one member, but he sure is awesome, isn't he?

Anyways, I don't think there's much of a need to compare. Let the maps do the talking, not the acronym in front of the filename. Even the best team can put out a bad map, and even a less-than-good team has the chance of coming up with something great.

They all suck because they all make stuff and hold onto it likes its gold, by not sharing source, they slow, or even stop, the creative process of those that aren't as skilled as they are.

How is it being creative if you're using someone else's tags?

And btw, CMT tags ARE gold.
