Halo Xtreme Edition: One of the last Xbox Halo map packs

Halo Xtreme Edition

There isn't many details so far, but it's going to be a little like the popular map packs, NMP and CXE. Except less mods, and more maps. NMP is awesome, but on v1.1, the only flaws i noticed is too many Blood Gulch mods. I want almost all of the maps to be new maps.

This will be PAL...but, that's where my plan kicks in. I am trying to make it very compatible for NTSC, and i might be able to just use bloodgulch for all the new maps! Wouldn't that be great? I'd release a NTSC-->PAL for bloodgulch and for the default.xbe.

The only gripe is that i've not got too many maps done so far, cause i'm the only one on the team as of now. But anyone who can make good maps out of blocks, or throughout any method is more than welcome, and if you are NTSC, i can send you everything neccesary to make it a PAL mod, and like i said, NTSC users will easily be able to play it anyway.

So, anyone interested. I'm looking at people that are willing to be creative with their maps.

I think the only difference between NTSC and PAL maps is the build number.

Sounds like a kool idea, but ive got too much stuff on my hands as of now

This will use PPF's so you'll need the PAL mapfiles. A converter will be provided.

Now here is a preview of a map that's gonna be included, called accuracy. Keep in mind the map isn't 100% complete. It will be a crazy map for all gametypes, as there is a gap to jump which seperates the two bases. There's a tower in the middle too and towers at each base. Sorry the pics are from Sparkedit, don't have vid capture card.

The inside of one of the bases, where the Warthogs are stored.

This shows the middle jump and the tower.

The view you'll get from a sniper tower.

The bridge in the middle and inbetween the jump.

I hope you like what's made of this map so far....

I made a mod sort of similar to this, but never released. The hard part is figuring out what to do with the hogs; spawn or make a wall? Cause its inevitable theyre going to fall off. You can make them spawn by editing the dependancy in the metadata of a weapon, powerup, or anything that spawns.

Thanks for the nice comments, tonight i'm going to try and remake the PS1 Metal Gear Solid VR training in a Halo map, with the green blocks.

Also, i feel like recreating a Sonic level with blocks, could work. I've always thought about this idea and didn't get inspiration from that Sonic Mapping Team.

Oh, and Tigerhawk, on this level you are going to have to enjoy the vehicles at the start, because there's one hell of a weapon that's hard-ish to get to, but will blow the vehicles off. I'm not gonna make them spawn, don't want ANY lag.

Good job Spartan III. PAL is in need of some good mappacks. If you want any help with any of the maps pm me.

Yeah, i'm sure it will be! I'm working on a map which'll involve the Pelican right now. Anyone know how to make the Pelican kill players when it lands on them?

it should be the [coll] just mess around and maybe you'll find it

but if your doing a block mod and no bsp is involved, you should always inject the ui.map bsp, becuase its blank and should reduce lag if any (or d40 space)

Where exactly (which dependacy) would you have to change in order for this to happen? And then would the hog spawn if your in it? Would it spawn in the same place over and over again until the lag becomes unbeareable (100 hogs)?

yes it'll lag after a while,, and any change any itmc meta dependency to vehi - warthogs

Either go to the site you quoted or check out the Files Forum, then go to the Xbox section(s).
You have to be a registered user there to be able to download whatever.
