Has the Halo 2 Downloads section gone back in time?

I agree whole heartedly with you Scotty. As you can see from my joining date, i've been here quite a while. I started modding about a month before NMP and CXE came out. I've seen the passing trends of halo 2 mods. I too have noticed the decline in innovative and truly fun mods. What some of the people who've been here for less than a year need to realize is that there are plenty of people who do have skills and knowledge to make nice fun beautiful mods. Some people have just become busy and don't have time...atleast not enough at the moment. I love modding and I do have a firm grip on how things work in modding. I just don't have enough time to push this into a map and release. That or it doesn't work out quite like I want it and I just quit lol. I remember Detox joining way back in the day and making projectile swaps and the like. Now look where's he's gone. It's just ashame Halo2 can't have a steady modding streak. Although that basically happens with any kind of fad. It's also true that it's declining with the coming of Halo3. I'll admit, I completely neglected Halo2 and modding when the Beta came out. All in all, true modders will be around to see good mods come and go. Other's will just get fed up or bored and move on. That's the way it goes I guess

well haha i guess you can call me kinda a die hard modder? i love modding iv been here for a while this isnt my first profile i lost my old one idk how i guess it got deleted or somthing but i was here when Decension came out i was like wow if a mod can be made like that i want to mod and iv carried it out ever since i think halo2 modding will go on even when h3 comes out. Mostly because i beleive people will try to convert alot of the h3 stuff to h2 for those that don't want to waste money on a 360 and the game itself

yeah that's what i'd do. I'd just import stuff like the bubble shield and brute grenade. and if I get good enough I there's probably some way to get the power drainer and mongoose in there. and even the spartan laser

well spartan laser has been modeled and all you would have to do is change the sentinel beam model to it and change the effects to a red laser really i don't think its that hard but i mean bout trying to make the halo 3 maps for halo2 which brings up a question iv had i know that halo 1 had a pc to xbox conversion pack at one time so why can't we just do that for halo2 and halo2 vista then we would have like 20 new mp maps for xbox to mod

It's being worked on

and I have a spartan laser in h1 xbox thanks to whoever modeled it for HSM. Check the pictures section. I still enjoy playing/modding halo1 more than 2. I guess it's also a person's personal preference on the game itself.

ya i knew there was a spartan laser either being worked on or somthing because in the bubble sheild craze i said hey mabey i'll model one and release it but someone said it was already being done and ya i think it is personal preference because your always gona have your die hard halo1 players/modders and your halo2 players/modders and when halo 3 comes out it will be the same

@Majku: Its a known fact that dothalo doesn't show nulled tag references.. Use ADI, a much more stable program for doing such tasks.

@x088x: TSF did not do a conversion completely in hex; that would not only be suicidal but also completely stupid. He can program, you know.

See. Even TSF kept us all in the dark! Swapping BSP's is relatively new for us, but he found it out way back and just didn't bother to share..
