Coagulation and Lockout in Halo 3
Posted: Tue May 20, 2008 10:11 pm
Hi,
I am kinda new to the halo modding community. I have been reading many of the topics from beggining to end trying to figure out what is happening with the modding community.
I never really found the need to mod halo 2 because I found it was excellent the way it is.
Halo 3 is also a great game, but it has a couple of major problems, the biggest of which is the maps available.
There are a few maps which are ok in Halo 3, but most of them suck.
In Halo 2, there were a couple of excellent maps. Coagulation and Lockout were probably the best 2 imo.
Anyway, I love the additions that halo 3 added to the game: better graphics, new good weapons, new vehicles, new grenades, turrets that come off, and best of all the deployables (such as the deployable shield).
The only major thing that I just couldn't stand was that the new maps didn't include coagulation. Some of the new maps are ok, but Coagulation is one of the things that made Halo 1 and Halo 2 for me.
Anyway, after reading through many pages of posts, I realize only Anthony and a few others can mod. From what I understand, they dont want to give away how they mod because then it will be abused on LIVE.
I think that is fine and I respect that, until a program is made where you can mod without the possibility of cheating on live.
My request is that if you guys don't want to give us the modding tools, could you at least make available the maps of coagulation and lockout from Halo 2 in their original form as downloads?
If I understand correctly (I may be very wrong here. Feel free to correct me.) the maps, after you guys finish making them, will work as if they are normal maps, But you still wouldn't be able to play on LIVE (except in a custom game) because other people wouldn't have the map. Also this shouldn't reveal how to mod Halo 3, because the map will be like a normal map (which no one except a few of you guys can mod).
Also, please consider this request not only for me. I know a lot of people have wanted these 2 maps back. I have read it in the forums on Bungie.net (did a lot of searching to figure how to get coagulation to Halo 3).
From what I've read and from what I understand a lot of people want to mod just to get a few of the maps from the original Halo's back. If this was done, then I think this would solve the issue of modding for a lot of people. IMO.
Feel free to correct me if I am misunderstood in something. Comments are welcome.
