Halo CE Maps converted to Halo 2?

Post by halofun121 »

I don't know if this has been discussed yet or not, but what the hell if it has.

We all love Halo CE, it's great, and ever will be great because it's the only thing that let's us design user made everything for Halo. Many of you think Halo 1 is dyeing because of Halo 2. Well, that's not entirely true, because there still are at least 10 XBC servers on a day for this game. Well, it would be nice if we could find a way to convert Halo CE maps to Halo 2, so we can keep the Ol' Horse runnin'. Of course, we still need to learn more about the Halo 2 mapfile structure, but, if we can do this, it might make those great mods in the future. And increase the modding community. I mean, look how many people joined when Halo CE came out.

There are thousands of Halo lovers. I have split them up into groups:

1. Modded Xbox Owners
2. Xbox Owners with Live(and/or modded)
3. Xbox Owners who use Xbox Connect or XLink Kai(and/or modded)
4. Halo PC Players
5. Halo PC/CE Players
6. Halo Mac Players

Halo CE maps on Halo 2 could bring an awesome impact on the number of Halo 2, XBC players, Xbox Owners, and XBL Players. More people could enjoy their maps with other people. Now, I'm no where near the position of a wonderful modder. I mean, I'm not even good at programming yet!(*GASP* lol). I just want to spread the idea and maybe make another, bigger future out of Halo CE. It's great when something like this is accomplished. It makes the community happier. I remember when NMC came out. Now if we can port some super cool CE maps to the xbox, we can have no lag games on XBC and never get bored!

Feedback is welcome. Tell me what you think about this idea.

Well, they already have CE maps converted to xbox halo 1.

But, I don't think that it will be possible(at least for a very long time) to convert a CE or even a Halo 1 xbox map to Halo 2. Even the smallest meta files are very different between H1(xbox/ce/pc) and H2.

But I would like to see it done.
