Protector? No. I'm just waiting for someone to give the green light on the release.

I'm fine with you releasing a classic version. I just want the gameplay.

Im putting this on my xbox and playin' it with my lil bro when it comes out. :D

By gameplay, they don't mean "fair" gameplay as people say on this forum. But actual different weapons and enemies which aren't in the normal game. I.e different gameplay.

Not everybody is a sad lonely person who steals tags, they don't deserve you wasting your time on them by delaying a public release.

A sniper rifle is a sniper rifle either way.
An smg is an assault rifle either way.
A battle rifle is a pistol either way. (though we could use the battle rifle tags on halomaps).

Remove that spam, or you won't be seeing the map for sure :|

he has a point by game play we want to see the custom stuff you created for halo:CUSTOM Edition
Thats what we mean by GamePlay

dacheif,STOP SPAMMING! your gonna mess it up foreverybody

Custom stuff = the map concept.
Thats custom enough. Also including deltas elites and arbiter. And my suicide grunts.

Oh crap, your suicide grunts. I knew I was forgetting something.

So is there any date when a classic version or whatever version you will be releasing come out?

Stop stalking me :V

And I'd always upload it to mediafire before I upload it to Halomaps. There will be a private release before the public release, so if you haven't heard of any private release, chances are, the public won't be done.

Ive been watching this thread ever since it was created, not contributing but just watching. The work that you and your team have accomplished so far is amazing. Although firefight portent is not an original map, it has almost perfected horde mode for Halo CE from what I've seen so far.
Im sure that one day this will be used as an example of what a single player map should feature. Now it is not my place to tell you to release the map,but I am going to tell you not to sweat the small stuff. Just because some guy you'll probably never meet has said that he will rip your map doesnt mean that you shouldnt release it without the tags. Believe me, I know how frustrating it is for someone to claim your work as their own. But what always seems to happen is that person who ripped the tags, ends up looking foolish because everyone recognizes you and your teams work. Which brings me to my second point, if some hunch backed loser wants to rip your tags, dont worry about it. And besides how many people can say they actually know how to rip a map? I mean who do they think they are Sam Fisher, except without the puberty?Its not like it will be the end of the world if it happens. In conclusion, I hope you take this into consideration when/if you release this map in the near future.

No, I just can't stand the smug smile they'll be spamming me with.

Enough discussion. The public release is not my decision whether to release it or not. The private one may be, but not the public.

The smug smile? It's the internet just laugh at how cool they think they are and move on. That's what I do.

Whose decision is it to publicly release it then?

Jesse's. I need to ask him one thing before I release.

come on gamma, the most important thing in this map is the gameplay, and after that, the tags, u and the team that worked, is working and will work on the map are artists, be proud of ur creation and if someone stoles ur creation be happy,(or somthing like that) because u r soo good, other loosers will follow u or try to imitate ur cration, and i bet everyone will notice when/if they use ur tags ^^

Personally i would PREFER a classic version, unprotected so i can import anything i want so i can adjust it to my liking.

LOL,I f lol'd so hard, let me see if I understand, you make an effort to make your map with all the work involved, you make a thread here, for what?, to release it in private?, then why do you do a topic on this page to show off your work?, for what? to exite the kids?, and you gonna release a normal version because you and your team are afraid to leaks?, let me tell you that it's so stupid, paranoid and the most pathetic I ever heard, look at CMT, H3MT theirs tags was leaked and whos cares? they are doing their works anyways, better not release anything and stop with the stupidness.

Hey gamma how cum I'm not on your private release list D: I'm your friend right? Owai you don't know me with this name ok fine go check your youtube PMz

he doesnt just give it to friends, its people he trusts and have done stuff for him in the past, and cause come on leave him alone, its his right to release it or not to after all he the one who made it and he owes us nothing.

I agree although I think Gamma may be getting a bit worked up about people stealing tags I mean someone is always going to find a way to steal tags even if the map is protected I think its something map makers should try to prevent but at the same time if it happens just accept it. Theres no reason for Gamma to stop making maps just because people steal tags.

i don't think thats why he wouldn't release it, but more of cause of the lack of respect or sometin like that..i dunno i wish i had xfire so i could talk to him some time though

oh yeah I mean I understand why Gamma is angry I mean people can't make there own tags and then they just assume they can rip his tags and pass them off as there own. Really its not bad to rip tags as long as you give credit to those who originally made them.

Its bad to rip if the creators don't want you ripping, even if you give credit. Its stealing intellectual property, and then saying "Oh yeah, it was his."

This is the equivalent of stealing someones TV and then inviting over everyone including the person you stole it from to watch a football game or something, and then announcing that it is so-and-so's TV.

Cool story bro.

You realize the threats you sent me through PMs about you quitting Halo if I didn't release the map didn't compel me to release it one bit?

Also, the private release will be extended from just the credits list, to those in the community that I trust, and are respected.

I know that everyone's trying to convince me to change my mind, that I should release it even if people are going to rip it, but as I've stated before, I need to contact someone for advice on the final release. I've stated my opinion upon protection before, but my opinion isn't going to get in the way of a release. It's not the ripping itself that irks me, but the bragging and the inflated egos created as a result of ripping. No, you cannot threaten me, nor force me to release the map, because I can just lock this away, and never release it.

Now, I have some homework to do, a quiz tomorrow in Calculus, and I have a few things on my mind, so I'm not fully concentrated on the release at this moment. I will assure you that the release will be on a weekend, and with that, you guys should be patient. The final release will come eventually, if it's agreed upon.

lolfail.

Oh well if you don't give me it then that's fine, and anyway I was only asking if you would have favoured to give it or not. Also haloceripper epicly phails lol. I think though if ripped and released then what ever it was probably going to happen anyway. To dacheif please PLEASE try to use proper english. If your not then people won't even take you seriously. Threats and blackmail only make it worse. To sum this all up I think gamma should do what he thinks is right, weather it be released protected or not released at all. The choice is his you can't take that away no matter how hard you try.

lawlz epik phale

It's not what I think is right. If that were true...

lolz... wait wut

I don't quite fully understand what you just said. So basicaly you doing things because someone told you to? wuuuuut

No, if it were up to me, this map would never see a public release. However, I'm asking someone else to make the decision for me.

ahh now heres the hardest part, the waiting game...and the hope gamma likes me enough to play his epic map game :D

Stop threadjacking.

Don't thread jack.>:|
E:Gamma you beat me to it.
