...Wasn't 343 a part of Bungie?

No.
They were formed by Microsoft,after Bungie declared independence from MS.
Some of 343's members are originally from Bungie (like Frank O Connor).

And not a single person at 343 ever worked on the original Halo.

Frankie's awesome.

I didnt think i would start a whole discussion about 343. lol! IMO 343's doing an amazing job. with ODST/Reach i kinda felt like Bungie was running out of ideas.

but that's just MY opinion. I'm not Altheros, where everything I say is right and Everyone Else is an idiot. if you guys feel differently that's fine.

no that whole post was from what my friend said

I did not know that this thread was about 343 industries.......

The Mexican Mappers.

I love how we rip on Mexicans being the ones who make maps with others content and such, but it's not always a Mexican who does it. I am Mexican and I still find it funny only because I know it's not true.

Idk if this is right, but you guys have your inner circle due to language. This inner circle of yours... is a free group. You guys do whatever. And sometimes this clashes with the opinions of the Halomaps members.
Your shaders, models, etc. Your ideas are different and so are your maps. A lot of them are just... quite frankly, bad. We'd like to help, but as said, language is a problem.
There are those who exaggerate and produce hate for no reason because they have nothing better to do. These are people you can ignore, but most are trying to help your maps become better.

And some people just don't like to play nice.

Really?
But you act so civilized and literate...

Its okay, he is just an idiot, no need to listen to him.

The thing that most members have against mexican, or spanish speaking modders is that what they make are usually really bad maps, full of ripped tags. Most don't do anything custom, and what the rip is of bad quality too.

if one of us "Spanish speaking" had to find a tutorial just find one of sphinxbio and others who barely explain how to put cars / ai bots on maps etc make a bitmap and very poorly "just found one"about extructures models for be honest at least me,have to learn english"or at least understand it"for be able to learn something properly...like everything on the tutorial section is on english ROFL

crei que eras otro gringo...

.... why are we ripping on mexicans? what've they done to you?

They looked at me funny, now go eat a taco.

lol

Cortana is not dead.

niether is the didact.

any progress dear sir?

don't make the map in Spanish

That's like telling Justin Bieber haters to not hate Justin Bieber.

funny if you imagined that Sgt. Johnson said this.

Made my day

we have made alot of progress,i just dont have time to upload photos,maybe today i post some pics.

Hi I have been gone along time I haven't posted on this site for years but im thinking about getting back to making maps for halo ce I have a lot and I do mean alot of experience with hek 3ds max and photoshop. my origanl tag set I started making in 2001 was lost in 2007 due to hdd crash and I lost nearly 7 years woth of work 8 amazing maps lost. But I do still have some maps modles and stuff, I will never forget how rewarding learning to make maps for this game was for me I have worked with some serious talent in the past and I am truly graitfull for all I have leaned! I love making new skys shaders animating textures 3d modling making new veachals and getting custom content in to game! the shear disappointment of halo 4 has brought me back hear. Most of you may not know who I am I cant spell worth a crap. but when it comes to halo ce I know my stuff. unfortunately I got hit hard when I lost all my work and a lot of time has passed but 1 thing I never lost was knowlage and talent, and the stuff I learned, I figure with all I have alredy done I better get back on the horcey and give it another shot. I currently only have 1 map for download for halo ce called rez witch was stolen from me and uploaded by a beta user, its small and was a test map the eventuly turned in to an alien city and then was lost. I worked on it for quite some time and its gone on a broken hdd I will probly never afford to recover. and one tag set for halo 2 vista witch is the custom halo one telliporters mind you custom tags for halo 2 vista are not even possible. that's why to date thare are only about 9 custom tags for halo 2 vista! Anyway I want to join a team of serious mapmakers some people who are not hell bent on not shareing new works. and people who like to have fun, play test new content regularly. Im back! pm me! Im hear... not sure how this will work out, but I have a new gaming pc and some hdd space and a frend to help who is also willing to learn so I figure I show someone how to make maps for halo ce and start work on a totally new project, maby I will remodel skyline or make a totally custom map. I gess it all depends on the people I meet and what talent we have. I may just start up a new maping team, not sure yet. I just figured id post hear and introduce my self to some of you new people. HMU! my gamertag is landsoftworks if anyone wants to add me on xbl I play halo 4 that's about it.

OMG...really long...lol well if you want to help TMM pristic is open to you,but i guess you should beter like betters team like TM or CMT i dont know.

Most people here don't really need your whole life story to convince them that you are capable of doing things.

ROFL! meh dont worry about that...LOL

sigh....here are the Updates of the TMM team this is what we have so far.

Rail gun..

I'm starting to wonder if it's just for looks.

It seems that it's going to be another vain attempt at dual wielding.

The only bad thing about that is that the pistol is halo reach but other than that it looks awsom

Why would you post links to the downloads and then ask people not to download them?
