Why the word soon should never be used:
SimCity.com
The represenatives of Maxis there said that the first patch for SimCity 4 would come "soon" way back in May of last year, or something crazy. We got it in November/December.
They said that the BAT (Building Architect Tool) would come soon in December (This was around late November they said it.). We got it mid-March.
"Soon" is an overrated word.

Gearbox said 1-2 weeks is when Halo CE comes out. Moderators and some people the mods have picked have played Halo CE already. The HEK is coming out with Halo CE. It's most likely going to be in 1-2 weeks.

So you know how to use it for when it gomes out and I guess they really wanted to show you it is on its way. Not just some made up program they said they were doing.

I take it you said no new guns, no new vehicles, very limited support....
A: we can create our own guns
B: we can create our own vehicles
C: gearbox will be supporting it as far as I know

if u read it says u most likely couldn do it whennit comes out but people could figure it out. and once we get custom models in hmt it not that hard to make a totally new weapon. even with the existing models we can do it

How bout we just say that with the Hek you will be able to do everything that you want. And beleive this until we are proven wrong.

Or, we use the hek to replace models and import maps, create new levels, use sapien as a replacement for spark edit, and do other stuff in hmt or hht, maybe someone will make a importer for the new compression thing gearbox used for halo ce

exactly we use all of the tools together and forget about what the other ones can't do and focus on what they can do all together.

Woohoo. New maps, weapons, and vehicles.
Woopdidoo. No scripting possible with HEK tools (perhaps with 3rd party homebrew apps), SP dev (highly unlikely), or gameplay modes (to my knowledge at least).
Lets give a big round of applause to GearBox for their second pile of steaming shit in the past eight months.

hey, we've come this far right? Surely we'll be able to do more, its another step, we can finally create our own BSPs, along with a new HMT we should be able to do pretty much everything we want, only this time HMT should have functions to do individual stuff, like give our new maps a graphic and description, i think i remember HEK tut saying we cant add our own map graphic and description for the UI?

Yeah, I forget what they said about it. Something about it being hard coded into the .exe or something.
