For those of you that don't know, we are releasing a public beta of SPV2's A10 today this website , and there will be a HUGE amount of new users registering and coming to this forum. Now, none of us really "like" new kids who are clueless about this game, but it is of the utmost importance that we be our best in the coming days. This is one of the few opportunities we have to expand our community and draw in a huge amount of new players. So for this upcoming week, lets drop the memes, drop the (un)funny jokes, and treat our new forums members the best we can.

The A10 beta will be released later today.

Out of curiosity, what made you chose a10?

He said that it tends to draw people in, and it does. With the nice cutscene in the beginning, it captures your interest for the rest of the level.

I wonder if anyone will be upset about them removing Johnson's rant.

You'd be surprised how well the cutscene flows now.

Wait... So how do the people know they have to make accounts here?

Let's try not to b1tch about other people's grammer?

New people are attracted to SPv2 like moths to a flame.

And they get burned when they get too close.

I don't see why people suddenly want to play halo just because a new mod comes up =/
they first of all, wouldn't "suddenly" know about it,
and secondly i doubt it that people just play a game because a single mod looks fine.

No, you'll get alot of downloads, like 500 people at the same time, but the community for this game isn't THAT big, and I mean the people who are looking further than it's cover and just play halo like it is, they wouldn't know about this and not that it is so "special" all of sudden at it's release.
They'll find the mod like any other, in halomap's archive, just to be found after some time because of boredom, like any other mod.

Tell me masterz, why do you think that your mod suddenly makes everyone wanna register because of a single mod that everyone will be mirroring for the meanwhile anyways?
Except if you have posted flyers all around town in their mailboxes with a copy of halo and a link to the download
Don't wanna offend you, but, really, arn't you being a bit "way up there" about your mod?
It's just a campaign mod, even though more effort than any other mod so far, it doesn't blow new life in halo... nothing will...

Why do I think this? Because I know things you don't and I have connections to people way higher up than other mod teams ;).

So a similar thread up on modacity. Anyway, Most likely there will be downloads in the 100, 000s for the first day, then things will start to slow down.

And Bp, don't make dennis pull out his statistics on you.

And Halomaps gets 1 or 2 new users everyday.

Spv2+public beta=low bandwith

Is this because of the a10 beta leak?

Probably, corvette said Masterz did it so he can let the whole leak thing behind him. I would be good to hear it from Masterz himself. But if it because of the leak or not makes no difference. New members will be coming and the halo CE population will increase by around probably 15%.

The last leak was in january. I would know, because I downloaded it lol. The a10 beta is coming out today or tomorrow according to masterz.

<-- is very eager to play

Oh god, I laughed so hard.

and i think the community is pretty big, it's just people don't bother going to register at the forums.
I mean, look at the downloads the "good" new maps are getting.

Hmph I feels like that day in winter when 18 pepole died becuase they wanted to get a Wii and there was only 10. nd the crowd was an estimated 800. and the store was set on fire becuase one of the TVs fell on the carpet and set off a spark and the building set on fire.

Its s shame I didint have a camera so I could post it on Failblog.

I laughed aswell, but I'm also considering that people like me, who fux their windows every week and reinstal halo on a weekly base, also have a huge count for maps we're supposing to download just once

well... i guess there are alot of people who don't register, i was one of them before i registred (wut) and for several years, but idk, i merely look at how much people post, consider that people redownload maps and look at the ammount of people on other forums, i merely conclude that there may be like 2k or 3k people still playing it, unless dennis is logging IP adresses....

you may shove the ammount of unique IP's up my bleep if you want to, i dont believe that there are so many unique downloaders, the guest count isnt really high either

so lets see how the map is.... my expectations are so high, i hope not to be dissapointed

The brutes, like all brutes in CE, will make me disappointed. They always look terrible.

the brutes in spv2 are different from the other ones in hce, just look at the broadcasts for proof

My map has fewer downloads than blood gulch mods. Guess they care more about bloodgulch mods than custom map mods. :(

cme onman it is from CMT, ur expectation wont be deisapinted... think

yeah, cmt is amazing at modding, think back to spv1, it was amazing for its time, and i'm sure spv2 will be amazing right now

yup, and i think this CMT mod and other maps (both sp and mp(not CMT)) atract more people to the community, they are really good at what the do so, everyone (think) will be interested

CIA? NSA? NASA?
They want to test it too :D

lolololol
now that i have played spv2 a10 i think the brutes are cool... not sooo coool but the best i have seen

Best ones there are currently*
you stand correct in that, not many people attempt it, and they sure look good to me right now.
Anims could be a bit better, but heck, can't have everything, can we? lol

Lol. Those brutes were pretty good though

Jesus, I leave CE for a couple days and I miss this?
D:
btw am not back I just found this little kiosk where you can pay for internet access by the minute :P

im searching for a copy of max payne 2 so i can play that marathon mod for it.

I bought Halo PC for Halo CE for Hugeass 8D
Back when i was a stupid noob. Aaahh, the good old days.
