Okay, picture this. A massive modification for Halo Custom Edition that would allow for things like massive levels, vehicles, etc as well as fixing issues with the engine that hinder these things. Think about large scale ship to ship combat. You'd need to fix some of the annoying issues with the engine, like how you fly out the back when your not in your seat. The engine needs to be modified to support enormous maps, the kind of map in which a full sized Assault Carrier could move comfortably. But why stop in space? Think fully explorable cities. Bump up the max player limit, you've got a full out warzone.

So here's my challenge for the brighter members of this community. Develop a modification that would allow for bigger maps and  better physics. Do I intend to do this? No. Do I have the skill to do this? My recent forum activity can tell you I can barely place scenery(I've got that down now, but you get the point). Is it even possible? Probably. Do any of you have the know-how to accomplish this task? Let's find out.

Although with OS it is possible to increase the amount of triangles that can be rendered at once, I don't think we can do anything about say, the physics or the max player limit. Some things like those require actual changes to the engine. Theoritically thinking, with OS we COULD change a few things physics related. However going with that approach it would require a LOT of work to even get the base. Now, eventually we MIGHT be able to change things related to the physics, but the max player limit is well....off limits. You'd have to mess with the netcode to do that. Now as much as I'd like to have 64v64 player matches on gigantic Battlefield 3-Sized maps, I can't. We can have bigger levels however, and as stated, it is theoritically possible to upgrade the physics. That is ALL we can do currently. Anyways, I hope that answers your question.

Halo Reach.

Impossible. You'd have to re code the engine, which belongs to microsoft, which makes editing it illegal.

Thread name: A challenge
Post: Don't post stupid ideas, your asking for a completely new game.
Age guess of OP: 13

Everything is possible but the ways are questionable,not allowed or downright impossible to do with available resources.Point is,most of the things you are suggesting are not easy or legally allowed to do.

Which makes it impossible. Especially that legally allowed bit.

*Is about to report for pointless post with no explanation. Then realises there's no admin to report to due to the fact Dennis is the evil one for once... Dun dun dun*

Anyway, it is quite impossible to edit the engine.
1. We don't have the source code nor is there any chance at all that Microsoft will be selfless enough to offer it.
2. Even if we had the source code, it would be illegal to use it in any way due to the secure licensing Microsoft's placed on the Halo IP(Intellectual Property).

If we could make any of the changes to the engine that you suggested, it would have been done years ago. It's been about a decade since Halo was released I think(Not sure at all though. I wasn't old enough to even use a computer a decade ago).



Maturity age guess of OP compared to maturity of people from the time when Anonymous was 13: 16

That makes you about 15 in maturity age now Anonymous. So as old as me :)

I'll check back in later, seeya.

Just because he has little knowledge of game engine's and licensing it in no way makes him a fool, nor does it make what he says 'bullcrap'.

Now stop being a jerk and play Halo or Skyrim. ;)

The word "fool" was not mentioned. His lack of experience isn't an excuse because he already showed that he presumed to have some with this statement:

This justifies the label of "bullcrap" which I assigned to the content of the thread.

Well it is possible.

It's just kinda illegal... probably. :P

I like ice cream.

Lolgtfo you troll.

But seriously you guys, get back on topic.
Hunter and cereal killer, pull your heads out of your anus's.
He can post a request thread if he wants to, and better yet, not get flamed
by community members that don't have any form of social skills.
It just goes to show why Dennis posted that sticky thread after all.

@OP

I actually made an infection map for multiplayer but still have to texture it
if it counts.

You don't know what a troll is.

You don't know what the phrase "head up your own ass" means.

He does have the right to post request threads; he does not have the right to avoid criticism. I haven't insulted him personally, only the content; therefore, not flaming. The social skills comment was an attempt on your part at flaming, you hypocrite. Furthermore, we all realize that my life is better than yours, but does that argument belong on this website? No. This site has nothing to do with real life.

You (and those like you), who feel the need to defend every person whom gets criticized, are the reason that only half of what could be accomplished actually is accomplished.

I have a feeling this thread is going to get locked soon.....

Unless tck goes back to where belongs.

Dear holy Lord. It's very difficult for me to take your posts seriously after those last two. I'll certainly talk to you in private; however I don't see a point in talking more here, considering that anyone worth anything already agrees with me.

Cheddars and I have settled the issue.

Hey guys, open guerilla and globals.globals and scroll down to the bottom, now you'll see gametype names and max-player amount. I've always wandered what would happen if you changed it to a higher number and recompiled the UI.map and then made your map so both your UI and your map would support the higher player amount. Does anyone know what would happen if you did this?

Please post back.

It is not possible to have more that 16 players in a server at 1 time.
Those settings wont change that.

Okay, then what do those settings control? And if they don't control anything than why do they exist in the first place?

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
