Halogen was an old project, Halo Wars was recently announced.
Halogen was canceled due to incorrect licensing.
Halo Wars has the proper licenses and because of that, its not canceled

I think public Halo 3 content would be nice... Unlike some people.

Anything we put into our Packs, will be downgraded versions; why?, because Halo: CE cannot handle the stuff we are doing; so therefore, we are giving you the best we can, that is usable in Halo: CE.

Just injoy the product, instead of critisizing its future, after all, the only reason we are releasing the: Halo Custom Edition Halo 3 Weapons, PowerUps Packs; is so that you have some new and fun content to play with, like a realistic spartan laser, that fires all to similar to the real one, and a Drivable Troophog.

I hope you like the ending product of our labor.

dude stop talking for us in mmt

What is Helipad Studios? I feel like you don't really understand what a studio is...

We call ourselves what we want, and we call ourselves: Helipad Studios (The name I came up with about 2 years ago.)

The full name, if you want to get technical about names, is: "Helipad Studios Development Team".

But to save room, we go with Helipad Studios

No, they aren't making a profit, so it's not technically illegal. If it was, CAD would be in jail.
You'll have to have Dennis explain this, I can't.

I thought it was because it was putting Halo Wars into jeopardy.

halogen was announced way before halo wars

@NT:
Bungie still owns Halo, they just gave copyright permissions to Ensemble Studios to make Halo wars, thats why there all new models, rigs, textures, and BSPs
Edited by Advancebo on Oct 4, 2008 at 01:42 PM

Bungie never worked on Halo Wars, though they should have, Ensemble is ruining Halo.

I will lay it out for you:

Microsoft owns a majority of Bungie and Ensemble Studios.
Microsoft has been sold ALL of the rights to the Halo Franchise.
Halo Wars is being created by Ensemble Studios, not Bungie.
Bungie is renting the rights to the game they created and sold.

There, theres the rundown, and by the way: Does it matter?



No, Bungie does not own the Halo Franchise anymore, they have the copyrights from Microsoft though, so they will only be able to create and edit there own game, until their contract is through.

When a new game is released, NO models are re-used, they always create new models of the same previous. That includes the models, scripts, UI, and everything else too.

(p.s. Not every game is like this, but most are, and Halo is one of them.)

Back to subject people.

NO they were not. Halogen's was making a Halo themed modification to C&C Generals RTS game. Microsoft only ordered them to stop when they had engaged Ensemble Studios to create the Halo Wars a RTS game. The Halogen project was a direct competition to the Halo Wars game.

The rule of thumb for creating fan content of an existing copyrighted property is: You will not be bothered as long as it: a) Is not for profit or does not compete with for profit projects (does not cost the company money) and b) does not impugne or diminish the reputation of the copyrighted property. However, the copyright holder has the right and can still order you to stop regardless.

Wrong. In Halo 2 they reused several bitmaps from Halo 1.

Some models too.

Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol models are the same all the way through

ok, you have pissed me off. i suggest you leave now

ok you didnt leave so now im going to drown you in a tidal wave of text

ok cool, you have a "life"
what exactly does that mean?

a manner of exsistence, your life style, what you do for fun, THAT IS YOUR LIFE. since you took the liberty of assuming that cls grunt has no life, i will take the liberty of assuming that your definition of a life is always hanging around friends, partying, having a girlfriend, doing things with that girlfriend, ETC.
having a life is doing whatever makes you happy and keeps you happy. i guess I have no life then because i spend the majority of my time on the computer and dont have a girlfriend. is that what your saying?

gee, you MOD them

WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OF THIS???

you obviously dont know the definition of E-thug

oh good, so you obviously cannot handle criticism. i wouldnt make those claims, because i have a buddy who was modding this game about a year ago. he was a 24 year old, completely jacked marine.

ah yes he should be out researching the fricking cure to cancer right? at 16 hes probably a junior in highschool. what the hell is he gonna do? bag groceries? your 13, according to your profile, and if i didnt have that as a guide i would assume you hadn't broken the double digits yet. im 15, i 3d model. your 13, you 3d model. THAT IS DOING SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE. when you can out-do a college graduate in something, with no education to back yourself up, YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE.

another assumption. you dont know this kid, you dont know if hes rich. and how the hell does being rich make someone a homosexual? because they dont usually have kids to pay for? HES 16, YOU SAID IT YOURSELF.

GODDAMN

Too much epic.
