That would be interesting. It would need Hunters Shotgun and Grenade Launcher...

I would see if they could put my 30km ship in it...

Face it, 343 has no care for the future of the PC community. If you watched the Halo 4 panel about half way through, they mention CE, and how the franchise is most probably going to stay console based. That's pretty much it, the final slap in the face for a PC gamer.

Uhm, not really the final slap in the face for pc gamers, considering there are much better games out there than halo lolll

Make content for them then. Most everyone here likes CE. It's fun and somewhat easy to use.

And yeah it's not a final slap. Well for CE it might be though.

What would really be ideal is if they took Apples Appstore approach and let anyone make mods for it and let people put their mods up for DL at a price of their choosing. MS could take 30% of the profit while the creator gets the over 70%, if they chose to put the DLC up for a price. CMT has had over 1 million downloads since it's inception, I'm sure everyone on the team would enjoy having made $700,000 dollars since 2004, and I'm sure MS would be happy with $300,000 in their pocket from our efforts.

Wow, CMT arrogance, it continues to amaze me.

Actually it's called "CMT can count how many downloads they have had and knows how to multiply it by 99 cents." It's not my fault you have a life and haven't been working on this game for 7 years.

No this is called arrogance. Nothing more.

To be honest, the numbers wouldn't be as much as you're speculating. A price tag would drive a lot of downloads away. You would be surprised.

No offence, but I know I wouldn't pay 99 cents for a mod I've never played. No matter how good it looked.

I really don't know how to explain it, but no matter how cheap something is people still want it free, even if it is really good. It's just like a mindset I guess.

LMFAO. Unfortunately though it is your fault that you have been working in this game for 7 years and can barely comprehend half of the things that most users do, not only that Lodex knows 100x more things than you. I guess the CMT hype of being the "leader" has gotten to you?

If you asked me, if your actually think your mod (which, let me remind you, is just a MOD of the actual campaign; the actual story, dialouge, and level design is not your work) deserves money, go put a donate button on your site and let it speak for itself.

Not only that, what Pepzee said is pretty much correct. I would never buy a campaign mod.

I'd have to agree with peepzee here, I wouldn't pay for a campaign mod, let alone one I haven't played yet, and I guarantee that Microsoft would claim much more than 30% of the profits. =P

No, the numbers wouldn't be as much, but it goes to show that there are people who could be potential customers and potential revenue for MS.

I'm sure there's a lot of people who wouldn't want to pay for a mod, but there would be some that do. There would be some who wouldn't mind having to watch an advertisement in between loading screens or when loading a game to have it for fee, ala android marketplace. It's not like MS hasn't done this with Halo Waypoint when they were airing a new episode of Halo Legends each weekend a while back. Plus they have their own bing services which could nicely tie into that.


You're pretty cocky for someone who comes running to me to when he has problems he can't solve on his own and touts his campaign map is better than Bungie's.

No, I don't think my team or me deserve money for what we've done, but like I said earlier, this is more about showing that there is a potential customer base that MS could tap, not about what CMT may or may not deserve.

Who in their right mind would buy a campaign mod, let alone from a team that demanded a profit from it? You need to put your numbers into perspective. SPv1 would get probably 1000 dl's MAX if you charged for it, and your mp maps would probably be just as slim.

Halo CE, let alone most other games that have custom maps, is about providing free, custom content for users from the users. Half the time your getting superior content from fans then the actual developers.



First of all, when have I said that? I never said it was superior, but arguably, its decent enough to at least seem like it'd be of equal quality (Which is basically why you practically wanted Lodex and I to help you create custom maps). And hey, your pretty cocky for someone who thinks their mod deserves a 1 million dollars in profits.

And second, when I have a problem, I generally find a way for myself to fix it, not pass it on to some other member on my team. I think most people on TM could agree that Lodex and myself do alot of the work. I don't just sit there and tell people what to do and generally ruin stuff by disorganizing my team.

CMT deserves better than you Masterz, all that talent lead by such an arrogant non-charismatic person who makes his team look like a bunch of "donkey-holes".

What do you even do, aside from creating maximum entropy.
And get Sinow to populate your new a50 BSP, he'll do a much better job than you ever could.

Thanks for reading my second post Higuy. Oh wait...

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Why would I pay money for a rehash of a campaign?

Do I see a coming end to the TM/CMT partnership?

If so, then this going to be entertaining to watch.

Nope, just typical Halomaps loldrama.

Yes and no. I personally think there would be a huge community backlash from doing that. There are other games out there that offer user created content for free, what makes halo any different?

But there could somme revenue made I suppose.

It all depends how it's done, the way things have been going the past couple years, mods and PC games in general have been on the decline, with all money being pumped into the vertically integrated console market, where money is made at every turn. There's no reason to have mod communities when you can make a killing off DLC for your games, while making them buy a yearly XBL subscription, controllers, the game it'self, and console (or several depending on how many times you've got the RRod).

Mod communities for the PC are living on borrowed time, the next step is to come up with a system that works for consoles where people can have the freedom to make what they want for games with supported editing kits, that would not undercut the concept of DLC to MS.

Edit: My apologies Higuy, didn't realize you were editing your post. You are twisting my words though, I never said my team deserves 1 million dollars for what we've done. In fact I've said quite the opposite.

Tbh I never understood what makes CMT so "great" as you like to call it M1337.

You are jealous because you could never make something the scale of lumoria.

You have neither the talent, nor the brains to design an encounter or level.
All you do it copy paste a bit. Oh and wait, a new skin every now and then.
BIG DEAL!

EVERYBODY here knows that both lumorias are the best this community has to offer.
Just accept it.

I didn't know there was a partnership...



This is true. And once again:

I haven't seen any actual partnership. CMT just said in the announcement that they will "be working closely with TM". No idea what that means.

I am willing to bet I know what he means. Most likely is that people are interchanged. TCK would know what i am talking about.

cmt helped tm and tm helped cmt i cant tell you exactly what but there is a partner ship

Higuy and Masterz will exchange juices.

OH GOD THE IMAGES IN MY HEAD.
