HaloPC or CE?CE is so much better.

3ds max 8 is not good for HaloPC cause it changes the amount of vertices when inmporting and exportig.I would do is do this is HaloCE and PMI it into HaloPC.You have way more control about the weapon in HaloCE and in HaloPC 1st and 3rd person is almost impossible.

well so what do you suggest i do with the model? should i make it to the certain specs or should i make it and have him pmi it into halo?

You can do everything with it in HAloCE(well keep it low poly).Get the weapon ready and tagged and compile it into a map then PMI it into a HaloPC map and replace the flamethrower with it.

quick question. I heard from a friend that has been doing the WAY longer than me like 8 years longer. that there is a HALO CE map that has a useable longsword in it...is this true? and if so where can i find it?

Halo PC came out in September 2003. That would mean it has been out for a little over 2 and a half years...
