The biggest halo project ever?

[Shaby]

When i learn more about modding halo2 maps and such i will get on it, BUT what i am announcing is, I am searching for some people to help me with a rather large project. I want to make a working campain for halo2. This of course with all the proper tools would take months, but i think it would be fun. I plan on having total(or wanted) changes in weapons, models, maybe some re-scripting(limited by skill of scripter). I and perhaps several others would work on the maps (since thats all im good at) there is a possibility that i could make some models but i could skin them. I think a crew of 30 or so people would be good. And i think we could also use a web-designer to use freewebs or something free. This way we could post updates. BUT perhaps we could make a few multiplayer maps too. I think the best outcome would be like a remade halo2. Or maybe it could be a whole new game, run off the halo engine. So anyone who finds these few ideas intresting, please reply.

Do not reply just to say this idea is stupid and impossible. Know one cares, nor do they want to here about your problems.

The only problem with these ideas of yours is that Halo 2 still is about.... 85% unknown to us. Everything will likely be possible when the IFPs are finished, and by then either A.) Halo 3 will be out and Halo 2 is gonna be like a pebble compared to a rock, or B.) Halo 2 PC will be out.

If you are planning on developing your own applications for this, then you can most likely cancel this topic out: noone on this forum (or any of whom have any remote programming knowledge) will help you, or the ones who do want to help do not have enough knowledge to create anything that would be of any use.

Take my words into consideration before you decide to take more time to waste your life away.

First Halo 3 is coming out before halo2 PC.

And second I know it is just a silly idea but im trying to lighten up some minds, get some people dreamin.

That's not what this forum is for. This forum is for recruiting members for serious projects.

Obviously hes trying to get people to join and anyways yeah ill help got some experince in skinning and modeling if you need it.

Won't matter, can't be done as of now. Just wait for h2vista, or just work on a CE campaign, you can technically create an entirely new game just based off of their engine using HEK.

You need to start out small. Make a few awesome releases on HaloMods so that people respect you.

Starting out with a lot of people isn't a necessarily good thing to do either.

Wow... I heard Halo 3 was comming out in fall of '07, and Halo 2 *VISTA* was comming out in spring of '07

Yes, actually, Halo 2 for pc comes out march 31st 2007, as for halo 3, november 30th of 2007. Where on earth did you get that sort of information Shaby?

"Do not reply just to say this idea is stupid and impossible. Know one cares, nor do they want to here about your problems."

No-one cares? (Ignoring the fact that you said know) That doesn't make sense. Most of the posts here seem to be against you, not with you. I think you're the minority here, to be honest...

Reasons why the project idea is flawed:

In the words of DarkMetal: "Halo 2 still is about.... 85% unknown to us." There are so many things in Halo we can only dream of doing. We can't control the cinematic camera, we can't make our own animations (I think), and we can barely control ANYTHING. All we're doing is tricking Halo into doing what we want it to. So trying to make a whole campaign is a great thought and definitely something worth dreaming about...but not something worth attempting unless you're prepared for disappointments.

You're going to need a year, with a 10 to 30-man crew, in order to get some sort of working result. And I don't mean a finished product, I mean "some sort of working result". You're thinking waay above your head here.

You're going to need top-class programmers and expert modders to get anywhere with this. And all of those people are too busy with their own projects and won't join up with some apparently frivolous post. (That's what it looks like.)

Within a week of trying you'll just end up trying something else.

It's an irrational goal, no matter how much of an A+ for high aspirations.

But who knows, things change. For all we know Bungie will release the Halo 2 source code or something, and boom, there will 100 new campaigns. However, as of now, we just don't have the tools to do something so daring.

By the way, ignoring all the flaws in the idea, I would actually be interested.

I havent read most of this. but i just gotta tell you. ever seen those maps modders have MADE with their own 2 hands? its ok. still not what Bungie can do with their OWN GAME. no this hasnt pissed me off. i was kinda interested at first. but like... dude. get a life.- im sure none of us want to spend months after months <s>creating</s>...re-making a game that surely wont BECOME A GAME. >.<

meh. good luck on it bro. maybe once we find out how to mod EVERYTHING. then you can come back on this query.
