um what kind of level (single player) would you guys like me to make? since i cant think about anything atm. and im not that good at modeling so im not going to try make a bsp. Just pos a link to a map that you would like to be made into a single player one.
and yes it has to be unprotected.

I suggest using Peril and Mystic... I can't be bothered to find the links. They're well known maps.

Hasn't that been done?

Not really. Use this one

Or this one

Portent is good also.

Isn't Ambush protected?

Portent is currently taken up by Polamee. Was my idea :P
*Oh noes revealed secret info

I had that idea, too....

lessee...

Chronopolis is a possibility, though short.

Actually for a long (really long) sp you could possibly use Vertigo City.

Very large, gives you plenty of room for vehicle battles and such.

The only problem Kiwi sees is that there is SO MUCH SPACE and you would have to find ways to cut off certain paths, otherwise everything would be avoidable, and adding cover since some streets are too open.

hmm. Learn how to model so you can make something that everyone will really like. The problem with most MP maps is that they are built for circular or bi-directional gameplay, whereas SP maps should always be linear. Thus a problem.

How about something similar to Mudslide Final. With Right Round music =D LOL JK.

That's my favoriter song!!

Extinction could make a pretty cool large scale SP.

Cairo station would be interesting but you'd have to further model it.

What I'd like to see is someone take mombassa and several other bsps and put them together for one giant city SP.

Maybe. Most of the lag is because of the huge number of vehicles and weapons and a whole bunch of other unneeded crap, and if you get rid of all of that, it might not be that bad for an SP. It's no good for MP though.

My fantasy SP mission, its kinda long, but it would be alot of fun probally...

main characters are two spartans, ones a girl, one a guy

On one of the large moons of a outer colony, a covenant mining facility used to make vehicles and weapons has been built. Since the moon is snowy, and scatted with crevices, the mining facility is in one, same with your UNSC base. Marines has outfitted 4 elephants. Now going faster, having better firepower, and just being completely awesome they set out with marines at there hands, pelicans, and warthogs. Ride the elephants and kill and blow crap up along the way to the mining facility. Along the way you would encounter a scarab which you don't get to kill all the way b/c it runs away. Then you keep moving towards the facility. suddenly, a big hole caves in and the elephants fall in. A pelican grabs you and your teammate, and you don't fall in. The pilot gets shot. teammate takes over, you grab the gunner seat in the back and kill off the banshees in the air. Your pelican gets taken out by a AA wraith near the facility. The pelican falls and hits a pocket of ice, and starts to sink. you and your team get out and are surrounded by covenant forces. They decided to not kill you, and lock both of you up in a cell. When you wake up, you find that the cell is being worked on and the workers have left a hole in the celeing. You and your team mate climb out in a maintenance shaft. you follow signs towards the core. You have to be stealthy while picking off the maitn, because the covenant took your amour, and you have to fight with no shields. You get to the core. You do your best to fight off the crew there. Like in Halo 3's Cortana level, the power cores come down, and you must blow them up. Escape. The place is blowing up like crazy, and you and your now clothes less girl friend spartan find a ride on spectra and need to get the heck out, like the end of the maw, except you go to the garage of the facility and get out. Whats waiting for you outside is that half finished scarab. Kill it, and you get evaced out.

=]

The beginning sounds a bit boring and too cinematic, but the part with the pelican sounds cool. You should have to infiltrate the facility, because you escaped capture at the crash, but you have to go free the other prisoners. Then you get caught and it goes on from there. I really like the part where you are stealthily escaping from prison.

Walking vehicles like scarabs don't work well in Halo CE's engine.

Not in MP
As an AI, and a script (maybe I really have no idea if it would need one), that would work out perfectly fine.
Also the beingging would have a lot more and be fun so its not so boring, I just didnt feel like typing alot of it up =\

rofl, I'd like to see that :p

"and your now clothes less girl friend spartan" perv

what about something along the lines where, your captured in a Covenant Capital Ship (in one of the prisons) and have to escape? like your about to be interrogated be an elite commander, and suddenly and group of spartans come rushing in to the cell room; killing all the guards, and you have to escape. and since the Covenant Capital Ship has disabled the hanger doors, you have to go to the muster and escape....(since the Covenant Ship hasn't left the ground.) and once you left, you begin to leave to a extraction point. It would be a kinda long level, and i may have to split it into 2 parts (one in the ship and one from outside the ship going to the LZ) where as part2 is mainly a warthog run styled level. Maybe ill use d20's bsps for the ship since it could be still recovering from a attack of some sort.) and a30's bsps for the warthog run. I can imagine the level already. Ill start now as a project backstage so you guys don't know the whole plot so it'll seen more fun. :P and ill probably wont finish it until a month or so. And ill upload them at the same time, so it'll load right. :)

It seems alright, but I forsee tagspace problems with so many BSPs.

well since the one above it kinda like the plot of the final level of the Earth Campaign im actually not doing that level. :| since the final level is pretty much the same except with different bsps. :)
but after playing the soli_deo_gloria map, it has inspired me to learn to model better. So im ditching the idea since its used for the Earth Campaign, and attempting to model a bsp along the lines of the soli_deo_gloria map, except single player styled :D

i dont have a problem with tagspace. i always manage to have quite a bit of tagspace and still have a populated level that doesnt look empty :D though i said that i may split the levels into 2. (even though i aint doing them)

semi-offtopic: in the Earth Campaign; since the final level is based around the idea in my quoted text. you dont play as one of the prisoners, you actually play as the rescuing squad. but theres more of a twist to it

EDIT: im actually trying to find a city styled map that would suit a sp map. any ideas on what i should try? im not doing chronopolis, city 2000 etc. , cityscape adrenaline, vertigo city. Those are the only maps im not going to try into a sp map.
