New Halo 2 Maps

[Veegie[Temp]]

I'm kinda excited about them...I just hope they aren't flop maps...maybe remade Damnation or something?

Bungie confirmed non are remakes.
I wouldn't doubt they're some of the new maps that are shipping with H2V, so they can work out any possible kinks in them in time for H2V's release.

A Halo 3 map would just ruin it, and it would be pointless. And it won't happen.

How do you know you never played Halo 3.

Because it would be like trying to run Half Life 2 on Windows 3.1

Ever think there is more to a map than visuals. It starts with g and ends with ameplay.

I Think its complete ***.....It is going to split Xbox players and 360 players apart but then again new maps to mod ^.^

You won't be modding Xbox 360 maps any time soon.

Unless they develop a new patch_v3 that can circumvent the locked scenarios of the most recent (1.2) AU, we'll be seeing a brand new autoupdate accompanying the game. I personally want to see a new patch_v3 format (patch_v4 lolz) - it could be reverse engineered like the v3 and be used with Mimesis so people with the scenario lock AU could load the maps.

The obvious solution potentials here are:
-new autoupdate adding the new scenarios distributed to all users (no way to determine 360 or Xbox 1 once it's emulating)
-new backwards compat update that will on the fly patch the XBE to incorporate the new scenarios

Am I wrong in thinking H2V will be out by then? I thought these new maps were coming in the spring.

Also they mentioned that they will be updating the emulation software that runs halo2, hopefully they will fix the headset audio issues among others things, hell I bet they could make the visuals on these maps greater than they could if they were running on an Xbox1, maybe that's why its a 360 only release ;o

Do you think someone will be able to convert them to regular xbox maps so that all us modders with a regular xbox will be able to use them?

I think you may be right Snave, unless they just include some sort of code so they can't run on the original Xbox. I mean come on, Bugie knows we know where the 'new maps' are, and they know we can get/put them on the 360, so they're probably going to include extra securities on these maps.

Bungie probably doesn't care that you can put the maps on your original Xbox, playing them on Live would probably be a whole different story. No doubt if they release for 360, there will be something within an update to only allow them to run on 360. Trying to play with them on Live from an original Xbox would most likely be considered modding, and you'd be banned.
