As far as updates go, I haven't worked much on the mod lately in anticipation of the HEK comming out. That's when my mod will really take off. Just have a look at a few of the things I already have here waiting to be injected with the HEK.

Click here to see a handful of things that I have for the HEK:

One of those pictures you see there is an early render of the New Mombasa map, currently under construction, which will go hand-in-hand with my mod. I also have many other things in store which I do not have any rendered screenshots of including an accurate SMG, an ATV, a Brute Grenade Launcher, Covie Sniper Rifle and many other things which also include a Shadow, accurate Plasma Sword, accuartely modelled Gauss Gun, remodeled Warthogs, and so much more, way too much to list. You guys should really expect one kick ass mod once the HEK is launched.

Special thanks to Mrs. DoubleFire, SupremeTaco and Dr. Lime for the awesome models that are waiting to be shot into the game when the HEK hits, and also for a few of the ones temporarily being used in the game right now!


This will be much more than a mod. It will be a full-blown game. A completely diffrent application from Halo PC, including completely diffrent UI menus, music, SP missions and all. You are going to be able to compare this to the Half-Life and Counter Strike deal. Halo PC= Half Life, Halo 2 mod= Counter Strike. After the HEK, this will no longer be addressed as Halo 2 Mod, but actually Halo 2 PC instead, due to the fact that I am confident this will be the best and most accurate Halo 2 mod availble, plus the fact that it will be treated as a completely diffrent game.

Also, from the rumors, one can judge that Halo 2 will never hit the PC, so this will be as good as it gets, unfortunately

Of course, we must wait for Microsoft to get off their lazy asses and get that damn HEK out.

[Master Makayo]

can you please send me the models + skins for the covanent sniper rifle

[kerrhalla452]

you need a graphic designer

edit: bad..

edited edit: and howabouts calling it something other than halo 2 pc, produce your own content, because really.. thats what you're gonna do.
Halo 2 is on xbox, made by bungie, and its copyrighted, With a different name you have all sorts of chances for distinguishing your product,
things liek graphic design, narrative, color, story, levels.. like you said halo 2 mod equals counterstrike.. well isnt counterstrike a different name than half life.. and isnt it kind of sweet and stylized? just an idea.

peace..

[halofan]

It's not very special thanks if so many people recieved it now is it?

[[N]destroyer]

nitro can u plz send me the modles from the mod cmon plz

[Kirk]

or maybe just post them? I could work on them, or something... I need a starter model to work on, im gonna try to make a really good battle rifle model for this, but I mine as well just start working off someone elses, but try to edit it enough so It wouldent really look like theirs at all (but of course they would get credit for at least most of it)

[Maverick73]

Hey, the map look tight, but i cant open .rar file. Could someone tell me which program opens that, or send me a .zip file???

[D3V1L]

Those guns should replace plasma rifle!

(btw Nitrous did you get my pm?)

No one knows exactly how they function yet, so I can inject the models and have them as usable guns but they won't do what they really do in Halo 2 until more information is released.


And don't forget to vote for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr.Beavis]

Your mod is the best thing to happen to Halo thus far!! Also, I noticed in a previous post you were looking for someone to run a dedicated server for your Halo 2 mod. I have just got a server up with the mod so please contact me so we can get this mod as popular as Counter Strike was.

[royale T]

Not the best mod playable, but the work done for it and the resemblense with halo2 almost already says that it must be done by a few of THE most talented modders around.

BTW are there any dedicated servers playing this mod (and when it dates up his updates) like 24/7, and if so could someone post the IP's.

Im just waiting for HEK to help you guys finish it.

[h4xx3d]

Hey, nitro, if you don't mind i'd like to port this mod to xbox, well what can be ported n e ways, but hmt won't extract the bitmaps properly for me, so if you don't mind it being ported then could you please post the bitmaps you modified?

and i know someone already ported like version 0.9 but the newer versions look much better.
