I've notice theres a lot of map teams, what is the best one (dead or running don't, care)?
just asking for fun.

CMT

They actually accomplished alot of things.

inb4 Zteam, Just because Zteam wasnt even part of the Community. They were like the Deuches next door in a big city with the fancy Car and they wouldn't even let you touch it.

They sound like my ex-wife.

***

I have to admit, the original CMT left quite a legacy, and will always hold a warm fuzzy place in my internets. They're the ones who kinda inspired me; I wanted to grow up and map like them. >: P

The old CMT was the best mapping team around.

Your the douche next door that's too lazy to go to work, go work your ass off and buy your own 'nice' car and you can dry hump it all you want.

CMT.
a lot of these new mapping teams are just complete rubbish made by 1 or 2 idiots. "hur dur wema make this and this" with no picture proof or anything, and then go and make another mapping team. kinda forgot who it was though...
First it was NGMT for Noob Generation Mapping Team, then RMT and Retard Mapping Team, and so on.

^^ IT was Hotcrusher I believe. That guy made like 6 mapping teams under 30 minutes.

DMT did made some decent maps. All of them posses unique abilities and gameplay. For example, there was that map where you have to shoot the glass floor to kill people and then there was one where you can play the map at top view.

They also made some really decent SP maps like nuts and air.

-Zekilk.

Read my mind.

If only more people had ^ that additude, the one Bungie has:

"We want to make what we want to play."
"Good enough sucks, you can't do good enough, you have to always make it better."

I doubt you want to play bloodgulch with 4 elites standing in the middle waiting for you to come over there. And I really think that you can make it better.

Bungie stopped caring for Halo when they completely disregarded their own storyline (Legendary ending of ODST and the entirety of Reach) along with the novels.

ON TOPIC:

The old CMT is, and shall ever be, the best mapping team to-date. There are others that were awesome in their own rights, but CMT is by far the best. No question.

As for all the other MT's that make mapping teams and don't rightly give a damn about what they produce, well, they can go rot.

Shut up you intolerable ignorant leech.

Zteam was part of this community and they've contributed far more than you ever will. Stop whining just because they didn't want you messing up their stuff.

Just clearing that up for anyone who doesn't know what Zteam is, and would otherwise take Slayer's word on the matter.



This too.

And yes, CMT, zTeam, TM and maybe DMT are easily the most influential teams.

looking at this forum and the kind of content being produced i'd probably say tiamat and his friends influenced the most people!!

also i love the original cmt team too, h2 coagulation is my favorite map

and if you mean the most successful cmt team, i hope you mean teh_lag implementing content from a bunch of sporadic contributors, masterz toying with everything that teh_lag finished, and arteen working his butt off

I think Slayer117 has a good point. I don't like the professional elitist hype. One's views just depends on who your friends are.

You know what I don't like?

The complete lack of respect this forum gives to arguably the most accomplished modders to ever do anything in this game because they're all elitist tag hoarders~

No hes right, People who act High and Mighty in a video Game forum do not get any more respect than anyone else. They act much more cocky and there fore respect does not need to be given to them.

Respect is something a person earns, you just don't give it out like a hooker on a street corner.

Sel doesn't want us to respect our parents (other thread), but he wants us to respect good game modders.
Lol no offence.

Oh yeah, yet here you are saying someone I bet none of you have talked to (zteam) are elitist tag hoarders not worthy of respect, sorry, but coming from a useless person with no clue what he's even talking about doesn't make that carry a whole lot of weight.



What

Stop butchering everything I say to try to fit your hideously contrived points you keep trying to make, it's getting real old.

The most important and by far the best mapping teams
1. CMT
Its singleplayer mods and Mp maps are the best that have been make until now
their were the best in what they do
2. Zteam
The best Multiplayer maps ( i love sanctuary)
3.TM
its maps are quite impressive and their singleplayer level lumoria its my favorite custom singleplayer level
4. DMT
i love their maps because they have good ideas and they use them correctly making the gameplay very awesome
the others mapping teams or are new or just haven release anything that i liked
but this ones are the most importants

There was a "new" CMT?

Yeah I'm sorta confused about this too.

I like Mooseguy, he's a great mapping team.

Agreed.

Cmt a few years back: Custom Mapping Team
CMT Now: Community Mapping Team

all halomaps should be one big mapping team. sum ppl to make models other to texture and other to beta test etc..
[insert sigh here]

That's just as bad as there being 5 Halo Reach Teams... O.o


That'd be pretty cool. Except the beta test.

Signed: that's what I call a community modding team.

cmt was pretty decent. they took ideas from the universe and expanded upon them, didn't try to remake all the new stuff. the old cmt, not community mapping team trying to gain popularity by having the same acronym

zteam are egocentric attention whore fart knockers who show off all the stuff they steal and think anybody who doesn't know how to program doesn't deserve any of it because everybody apparently needs to make it their life goal to be a coder in order to illegally reverse engineer retail games to steal content. who cares what you want to do with your life, if you don't learn to code your own tools you don't deserve anything

as for stand alone people, inferno made some awesome maps, mookz made amazing weapon mods, teh lag made a sweet character with custom anims, ifaf makes some awesome particle systems, and that's about all I can think of

zteams made some pretty cool stuff, they didnt just rip. look at all the crazy stuff CADs made, custom stuff. besides if you had to deal with this community 24/7 youd be a jerk too! :D
the new cmt is fine :D it has a fair amount of the old members. the only reason theres a new cmt is cause masterz rage quit hce.

wait a minute didnt we all forget DMT? we still do.....wait....nvm...
the thing about DMT is they kinda did their own maps solo. Malolo released his maps, Inferno released his. thats kinda how it was. and now that Malolo is to high to finish OD id say DMT has pretty much gone to crap, trust me...im in it :D extremely inactive.

Isn't that what open source projects are for? Seriously, if we want to have a bigger steam of maps every month, we need a lot more of em and by that, I mean projects led by more experienced users.

Speaking of which, did anybody record Consar's sky tagging tutorial? I missed the stream apparently.
-Zekilk

yes zteam which ripped from the other halo guys and ported them but never shared anything with u's. I remember there was a thread about them some where showing off there tools on another forum and which they said basically: we are showing and bragging our capablities to prove we don't suck and we arnt going to share. kinda reminds me of the people who are now ripping the reach models and wont share-____-

dude you got 2 magnificant betas, ported from h2. they had to make a whole new tagset for that...you have any idea how much effort that would take??!! they show off not just tags but whats possible, if you wanted such assets you can go make them and they're proof of it. if you want reach assets so badly l2program and reverse engineer. id say if some one has the capabilitys to make such a program they shouldnt be hated cause they dont want to see it abused. dude you have to play devils advicate with them...take a view from their perspective.

LOL GUYS ZTEAM JUST RIPPED AND NEVER RELEASED EVERYTHING I READ A HALOMAPS.ORG THREAD ABOUT IT SO IT'S TRUE.

http://www.modacity.net/forums/search.php?searchid=1408178

A lot of these sure do look like releases to me???

Also pretty sure their policy was the same as CMT's, if you weren't terrible and asked they might consider letting you use their unreleased work. So get over yourselves.

broken link sel

I think that was done deliberately. Not sure though because that would mean...nvm i don't want this thread to become another flame war.
