hello i am getting into halo SP modding now. i dont know wut level i should try. or moddify. when i ask for ideas. i mean like wut should i add in it. so i can make a full blown SP map. maybe a10 map? add different weapons? brutes, honor? wut should i add and wut level should i use. please. give me ideas. i cant chose.

Add some new weapons that AREN'T nukes. Then maybe add some new characters and skins/textures. And maybe add a new kind of feeling/theme.

k. good ideas. now does anyone else got any more ideas.

Atleast use a big campaign level;

Dont make it short
Dont rush it (like meh :D)

Also get some good tags... the regular are pretty stupid right now :P

Make up a story line, and visualize it in a level.

Download ALOT of tutorials...

like;
SP map tutorial by polamee
SP map tutorial by p0lar bear (u need both!)

These tutorials will cover up the most.

and try make no epic fail so lazygamer123 won't spam a failblog pichure on your thread.



IMPORTANT: BE CREATIVE LIKE ME LIKE I DID ON MY SP :)

Have a variety of different weapons(preferably custom ones :D), good friend and foe AI, and seal of areas that u don't want the player to wander off to.

Make your own map, don't use a multiplayer map. And don't use the CMT Brutes. Rangers are ok, just don't put them indoors and don't use more than two at a time.

^Epic advice

Agreed.

Modify AI tags so that they throw grenades, give firing positions, and experiment with script effects for fun.

Add these together and you'll do fine.
Also, classic weapons ftw.

Kingfish999 weapons and vehicles will give it a diffrent feel and add some cmt weapons also.

Unless it's a designated modern combat map, I don't think anyone appreciates modern combat inside their Halo.

Modern Combat, on my Halo! Kill the Heretic!

^lol
Classic weapons are best.

Guns like the AK-47,M-16,M-4,etc. mix in with halo guns and the cmt gun The MA5K will give a feeling like no other. It will make you feel like your in the game with all the firepower around you.

Modern weapons do NOT work well with Halo. It ruins the Science-Fiction experience.

I know, but feeling like your a person in the game can be a one of a kind thing.

Which is why you don't use the modern weapons. You don't feel like you're a person when you use modern weapons. Instead, you feel like the mapmaker just decided to throw modern weapons into the map for the heck of it, which does not feel good when you're shooting grunts with an AK-47.

He never asked for help on creating Single Player maps. He's asking for ideas...

and this is why we take the ak 47, add a rail (yes ross, kill me now), a scope (it better be shiny), add some useless parts, make the wood look like future wood (aka: wood :U), and add a display with a range finder or something. have fun with it

I dunno about you, but I happen to like hunting Grunts with AK-47s...

Plan your encounters. Don't just throw random AIs all over the place and call it a day; set them up so it offers a good gameplay experience. Look at the original campaign maps and take notes on how they set their encounters up. If you feel compelled to do so, add a little to it. Just try to stick close to their formula.

An army of warthogs driving up a beach:
Omaha Beach style, where the covenant are on top of a high hill blasting all sorts of energy sh1t at you, and your in a warthog driving up this hill, watching your teammates blow up, get killed, or energized or whatever.

AND


i was thinking a big army of grunts, and you got a warthog as your only weapon, oh, and the point is to get to the other side, did i mention that the grunts are armed with the fuel rods that explode once the die?

"Guards, "remove that filth!" -Prophet of Regret

Also, it does not feel.....right to shoot at Covenant with modern weapons, mainly because Halo is a science fiction game which takes place in 2552 (or a few years before that), and most of the modern weapons have been replaced by newer versions by that time (compare weapons soldiers used 500 years ago to weapons today). And its un-canonical. Most ppl would hate that.

Anyway, do NOT include any Brutes. If you're making a campaign mod, try to create refreshing and new encounters and new concepts.

hey y not make a halo 3 campaign(pllzzzzzzzzzz) or at least if can't then y not have the oiginal but with halo 3 music and halo 3 graphics of everything...

oh hey, why not give it crysis graphics while we're at it. [/sarcasm] It's not possible to give Halo CE halo 3 graphics, the engine won't allow it. We might get a long way, but it will never look like Halo 3 or have the same features.

hey hey there. i am just doing the sp maps. adding stuff. ai all that things. i am thinking on the guns. which ones should i put in there. the ai. and other things. but putting different graphics???? that will be later in my modding. i am pretty good. but not that good at modding. and modeling and stuff like that.

The people who try to do that have no life. Halo CE is about creativity and fun, not noticing every small detail of Halo3 and compying it into Halo CE.
