Hello everybody! Some of you many know me, some of you may not. For those of you who don't, I am the original sole creator of the Halo 2 mod for Halo PC. Back in the pre-HEK days, I made a few mods for Halo PC all by my lonesome, and the Halo 2 mod seemed to really stand out. From there I committed myself to updating the mod regularly, and it just got better and better. The HEK came rolling along, and now me and a team of other talented guys have been hard at work making the best Halo mod ever. Period.

Having said that, I would like to bring popularity to the Halo Revolution community by posting my next update here

The last update I had posted was based on a build very similar to the one that had managed to leak out, so everyone is fairly familliar with it and it's features. Well, since then, there has been an amazing amount of progress. Just about every single thing you guys may or may not have seen in that build has changed (for the better). I am being amazed by the team every day. Every time I come online I get sent something that makes me nearly fall off my chair. Here's some specifics...




Mrs Doublefire has proved to me that it really is possible to make something project onto a computer screen that is just indescribable, and completely too amazing for words to even begin to describe. He is a truly amazing person. I am very honored to report that New Mombasa Classic is nearing completion!! We could be publicly playing on Earth city goodness sooner than we think! Texturing work is 99.99999999999999999999999% done (probably being finished as I write this) and the geometry is similarly complete. It's very exciting!

Supreme_Taco has been doin' his thing with SMGs, ATVs and things of that nature. He is the lead brainstormer of the many, many, MANY easter eggs that will be dotted all over the map. Yes, you are going to laugh, cry and smile when you find these eggs, yes, you will spend days finding them, no, we will not tell you where they are or what they are

Kerr Halla WOWED the hell outta me and the team today with something that will remain confidential, at least for a little while. What he has just done has comepletely changed the game. This really, really is starting to become hard to determine if certain screenshots are indeed, from Halo 2 or the mod. That is a very good thing

Aero, our newest member to the team earned his status by doing something that until now, has been impossible. He successfully editted the HUD!!!! Thanks to that, expect to see a gameplay trailer, soon.

Farsight is working on a secret project. Shh!



Many things in the mod itself have improved drasticly. The Battle Rifle is a million times better looking, working and functioning than it was before. Exploding vehicles and scenery is 99.99% perfected. Graphically, things are shaping up nicely. Performance-wise, this map runs surprizingly well. It is portalled perfectly. I could go on forever talking about every little aspect. Instead, I will show you this...

Hmm... i like it more than your mom :D jk
But it real nice, release it already!

Honestly, I don't know your mom, or even where she lives.

I swear, it was just a joke :cry:, don't be mean to me.

:shock: - me when i first saw this map
:cry: - me a month ago
:( - me a week ago
:| - me a couple days ago
:D - me when i figured out it was gonna get released soon
:) - me now
:D :D - me and some other person when it gets released

Oops, sry, abusing emotions again. But it was the only way to express my life of the past few months and my life to come (hopefully soon).

Mmm... easter eggs. Is it easter again?

Sorry for the bump, but did anyone else notice this:
I am very honored to report that New Mombasa Classic is nearing completion!!
Classic? Does this mean that they will start to work on a NON CLASSIC version after releasing this? Maybe they will start not caring about how it looks compared to the E3 vid and just use their imaginations.

I can't wait....
