Okay- I've seen some pretty top of the line spriting and coding. Why doesn't make a HALO mod? I don't play it, but I know that others would most definitely play it. Well?

Several attempts have been made, they all failed from what I know. Mostly due to lack of interest. Someone made a really good spritesheet once, though, iirc.

Halo is a bit cliche, every game that can be modded has some sort of Halo mod. Even though Halo has the most glorious lore I've ever seen.

Then why doesn't one of the great coding legends (Gotcha, Whitty) fix up some HALO pieces of awesome, use the existing sprites, and you've got somethin'! I mean, c'mon! I know kids that are obsessed with HALO and anything that pertains to it. It'd be a hit if it were in depth enough.

It's just Halo. Not all caps HALO. We are not overexcited Ex-Bawks fanboys.

It really is Halo btw, now an acronym. Proper noun. EDIT: Ninja'd, ah well

It's not that it's not possible, it's that people don't want to do it. The franchise is quite well-gutted, and if you have not noticed, even original mods (that don't need to stick to canon) are a bit sparse nowadays.

Modder motivation is at a local low.

lol@ "coding legends"

Firstly, you spelled Legendary wrong.
Secondly, your Pokedex is broken.

Bah, Halo...

The only thing that would be cool in a Halo mod would be a bigass ring-world map where you could walk upside-down (In the inner part).

Like so:
___
 V

---
 O

Otherwise, it's bleh.

lol, Ratchet and Clank can do that. If you jump you fall though xD

The needler has been done a number of times, and that's the only weapon that is particurally unique.
I've played with a warthog too, but it was less-than-perfect.
Halo's much better in a 3D space, and super easy to get and play.

I have personally attempted to build a ringworld map, based on the Orbit Lands level. I got hung up on something and then bored, but I am certain someone with more patience than I could complete it.

TLB tried it and basically said it was crashtasticly impossible. So I doubt it.

how about a pelican?

Well we allready have lot's of dropships and side view dropships, so it whould just be a resprite.

Give me a pelican with a turret, rockets, warthog and functioning pickup bay!
I kid.
Seriously though, I do not see how it would be prohibitively difficult to activate and deactivate a "grab zone," in which a Lua script holds actors in place relative to the ship. I suppose you would have to either place this in the middle of the ship or disable flipping however.
I think I'll go look at building a "press x to enter" device.

A warthog edit of mail's humvee:

A turret is fully sprited, but since I'm lua illiterate I have no idea how to attach it.
