Well, it has been a long time coming. It has been an enjoyable, experimental, educational and stressful experience all in the same time. As you may remember, we began development technically long before the HEK was even spoken of.

Doublefire began work on his incredible New Mombasa, Nitrous put a lot of work into the PC version of the mod, from

which content is still used, Supreme Taco made countless animations and models, Kerr Halla made the Halo 2 MC skin, and

many other things were done by the other members. Well, folks, it has been a very exciting experience for us all, and

we've learned a lot.

We've been flamed, we've been praised, we've been doubted, we've been supported, and through it all, we always knew we

would pull through, for we were creating something for the best gaming community on the entire internet, the Halo

community.

We know that this mod isn't the best possible work we are capable of. Keep in mind all of the alternate happenings that

went on around us, and the fact that game design isn't our main occupations. That alone means that we a: aren't

professionals and b: can't pay 100% attention to it. Regardless, we've done it. We have gotten Zanzibar to a

satisfactory state, and even though there are a few bugs, they will be ironed out in the future, because every single

Halo 2 Team member has agreed to support the mod long into the days of Halo 2's riegn.

Before we get started playing the mod, there are a few crucial things you should be aware of:

***YOU MUST PLAY WITH GAMETYPES THAT HAVE VEHICLE RESPAWN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***
***YOU MUST PLAY WITH GAMETYPES THAT HAVE VEHICLE RESPAWN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***
***YOU MUST PLAY WITH GAMETYPES THAT HAVE VEHICLE RESPAWN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***
***YOU MUST PLAY WITH GAMETYPES THAT HAVE VEHICLE RESPAWN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***
***YOU MUST PLAY WITH GAMETYPES THAT HAVE VEHICLE RESPAWN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***

We have prepared a handful of custom gametypes with no vehicle respawn for you. They are original gametypes, just without vehicle respawn. Get them here:

www.nitrous.epgservers.net/savegames.rar

Put them in your My Documents\My Games\Halo CE\savegames directory.

Destroyed vehicles have no collision modles because when you got hit by one of them, it would cause exception.

There is still some kind of nasty exception error problem that shows its face, and we are working on it. Please, don't

lose faith.

The framerate isn't so wonderful, as it has already improved for future releases because we've found the problem.

A few animations are screwy and will be adjusted.

The SMG has no clip on its side.

The Hog horn is, well, yeah...

The debris scenery that seems to be in the worst spot ever was placed there for an uber good reason.

The windmill doesn't always sync over the net, but it does most of the time. And yes, we know there is one part of it

with bad UVs.

Vehicles can only be destroyed by way of explosives and only when they are occupied.

We would also like to point out that this map, including other maps with be updated and made better and better in the

future. We hope to see you there with us!

Ladies and gentlemen, without further adue, we proudly present to you,

Zanzibar, for Halo CE.

Sweet. Very nice looking. Some problems here and there. I got an exception in the ghost, jumping out and shooting though. But super fun. The gravity rifle can be cheap though.

The boost is messed up, it keeps pushing me out of the Ghost

Can the Energy Sword do a homing Lunge attack?

Posted: **Mon Nov 08, 2004 12:36 pm**

I like the new one. But I dont like the ghost. It boots you out. The hogs take longer to explode. The regular ctf sounds are back(I liked the Halo2 one). No ghost boarding. duel wielding is better, but still bad on a crap graphics card. Ill just play Halo 2.

You said Sucks 4 times, and Crap 3 times. English is ok

about boosting... it bumps you out if you hit the key to long... just tap the key and it works perfect

No it doesn't, the ghost boost sucks.

Lmao that is true, when I first used the horn i didn't know if the thing was gonna fucking blow up on me or if it had it's own seperate boost. That, along with the hands on the battle rifle, should be fixed.

i found a big bug with the fan. It has a tendancy to push you through the map. I'll post a vid later. cool map though

Posted: **Mon Nov 08, 2004 6:04 pm**

Dual wielding looked pretty good (fp) on my crappy card. The boost does suck, or atleast isn't much help. I want a map with the new scripts in it though.

Ya, new scripts. But Halo2 is out. So meh

i think it looks the same exact thing as the beta versions that were leaked exept for some textures..oh adn the horn...

Posted: **Mon Nov 08, 2004 7:06 pm**

The lighting was better, but some stuff was taken out I think.

Posted: **Tue Nov 09, 2004 8:07 am**

The Energy Sword pwns alot though! You ever lunge attacked someone!
Awesome!

Posted: **Wed Nov 10, 2004 7:52 pm**

I think ill stick to there maps, Zaznibar may not lag for the makers, but I suppose they have sweet pcs, at the moment I have a crappy pc so it lags. Also I get tons of expectation errors, being hit by a vehicle, getting out a vehicle, the ghost boost. Lags quite a lot.

Em, pretty good, but people do say it looks alot like the betas. Also, if it did have vehicle that would totally own and make this map the best. But it doesnt, I hope they do update it with boarding and geting rid of those expectations!
