I'm pretty sure I don't need to say "Don't get your hopes up", the fact that most campaign plans fail before they're started is a well known fact in these here forums so you're welcome to just ignore everything that's typed and say whatever your little hearts desire.

So me and my friend thought to start making Halo Wars junk and get it onto Halo Custom Edition. From the bases, to simply scenery, to the units themselves. There's just a one little big group of problems. He can only model and animate, and I can (barely) make a field from scratch. So, we basically need people for help with everything else.

What do we have thought up so far though?

Nothing

Except the fact it takes place before Halo 1, will (hopefully) be including content from Halo Wars and other halo-related crap, and that something epic should happen.

We is geniuses.

I don't know a whole lot about how things work in the more refined long-term ways. I just know if you can show something good, and/or that's not a bloodgulch remake intended for usage as something other then a test make, then people get interested. Neither me or my pal have anything to share yet, aside from basic concepts. If you'd like to help, great, if not, that's fine. But, as I've said there isn't enough skill between me and him to so much as make anything from scratch.

So yeah, comments? Offers to help? Opinions one might consider negetive?

You could make a level where you play as the covenant who are only just realising who the UNSC are. Or something like Planet Reach?

Yeah, this. No one's going to want to help if they don't see anything. Considering that fact, it just goes right back to saying your statment "Most campaigns fail".

I think I've said this a bit too much this week, but, seriously, learn more yourself before decided "o lol ima gonna makes a team to do stuffsa for me cuaz i can't do anythang elsez!!".

Let me go get my rant from a couple days ago.


Practically everything still apply's.
And if you do get a team together, and some how manage to get work done, heres another suggestion.

Discuss EVERYTHING you do with your team. Your team needs collaboration, and they all need to put there effort forward. Learn from each other as well. Maybe you can't model well but someone else can Learn from em. Discuss gameplay, discuss character design, discuss the story. Everything. Collaborate as much as possible and compromise to the bring the best of ideas towards the full project. Make layouts, test gameplay, build rough drafts, fix every last bug found to make it just that much more polished.

And yes. I'm serious.

Get a plan. Think things through. If you try to finish a campaign without knowing what you want the finished product to look like, it's not going to turn out well.

Alright, well, my friend is sleeping so I can't pester him to start working on the models. We'll get what we can up when we're able. And I'll start working on the script, I guess you'd call it.

Thanks for the replies.

I hope this works out well.

for his sake
