Mattthew the game is not illegal no more the official halo online russian has been released.

I think the point he's trying to make is that, unless you live in Russia, you don't have a legal copy of the game.

It's not the Halo 3 engine.

If you or anyone has hacked the game or has a copy of the hacked game then you are in direct violation of the Licensing agreement and international copyright laws. This by definition makes that copy of the game "illegal"
Matthew was stating a fact, one the hackers have chosen to ignore, and not "raging" on the game. The only people making a fuss or "raging" are those who have joined this Halo Custom Edition forum for the sole purpose of trying to promote the Halo online game.

No, it's based off the H3 engine. There is a difference.

Here is a timezone chart for CE3 Live

Nope, it features a bunch of stuff that wasn't possible in the H3 engine, real-time local reflections being the biggest of those in terms of how it affects the look of the game.

Oh oh oh!!! how about all the armor perks! I bet that was in the h3 engine before but just unused!!!

Anyways, good luck getting anything SP to actually run without access to, you know, a map editor.
Also, homophobic slurs also makes all you hacker guys look pretty classy btw.

Well if that doesn't prove that it isn't the H3 engine, this certainly does:





Halo 3 is a highly modified version of the Combat Evolved engine, so by your logic, that would mean Halo 3 uses the Combat Evolved engine.

Just in case you didn't get it the first time.

Oh, so it's not a modified Halo 3 engine like I (and Masters, and Nick) just said, it's a modified Halo 3 engine. My mistake.

4:00 pm for me

Okay, engine hypotheticals aside, why does it even freaking matter? At the very most, some enterprising souls could *theoretically* port over the H3 campaign... then what? Do people genuinely think you're going to have any kind of thriving SP modding scene off hacks alone?
You absolutely need a robust SDK in order to do any in-depth modding work on a game. And if all you want is a port of H3's multiplayer to PC, then why the hell are you all derailing a thread that's all about an annual showcase of mapping in Halo?

Shaking my damn head here.

They are developing the editor kit for HO as were speaking.


Its called assembly tag editor.


It wont be here any time soon but they are doing good progress man.

ok! Got it, now you should go back to the halo online thread

Assembly isn't an SDK. Currently it doesn't do much more than edit tags, and I don't believe the devs really plan on doing much more with it than that. And, y'know, that's fine, but the focus of CE3 is on larger mods and maps. Also, the legality issue, but that's been mentioned x9137293817 already.

How do some of you people even know how to breathe?

If this is the community for Halo Online then I'm glad I'm not apart of it

There is a thread about Halo online so if you wish to continue discussing it take it there. This thread is about CE3 2015 Live. Please return to the topic.

Thanks Sir.

Hey Matt, I havent made many progress on my proyects but I have some cool urban scenery that I made in the last week, can this be submited? Can half made proyects be presented?
Other thing, how can i contact with SBB for their advice?

If you just have tags that's fine. We have an entire tag/demo section for things like that.

Just look up SBB on youtube. They have their contact info plastered there

Many years in vocal courses/therapy.

Thanks for thinking about me! HTC Diary alarm activtionated.

10 days remaining...

I think for the whole show, we would have to do completely different music. So in my case, Popskyy!

Music is in the link: popskyy.bandcamp.com
