If you read one of the previous updates (3 or 4, can't remember which), we talked to Warbow and Louis Wu (webmaster of HBO), who were at E3, and got to play the level.

A lot of you have been wondering how the zanzibar team comes up with the base part of the level, well here is one way they could've based off of:

True, but those little errors are easy to fix. Those can be tweaked in like, 2 secs... It's just the global shape that counts at the moment. But, it's coming along quite well... JamesD got the Battle Rifle in-game, and it's looking great (apart from the fact it still needs a texture). The ES's doing great as well, the textures have been completely reworked and it's looking more ES than ever... But, you'll see an update on that this Sunday. ;)

Yeah, I didn't think so. I just used it as an example.

It would be a good idea if once Halo 2 comes to look at it and make at least 1 more map for CE. I am sure it must really suck to those people who don't have an xbox. Just my opinion.

I heard in Halo 2 that you can jump a lot higher than you could in Halo 1. Reading reviews of people who've played Zanzibar, they said they were surprised at how high they could jump, asking if the gravity was set lower or something. But it wasn't, the Spartans could jump higher due to their improved armor.

Just wondering, would you make it so players could jump higher? Or are you keeping the standard?
