i donno, why dont you download it and see
Ok I'm gonna reinstall CE this weekend. Is their a server up for this?
you know how in halo 2 you have to download new maps?
what kind of file are those new custom maps u add to Halo 2 on XBox Live?
and is it possible to convert maps like, lets say this map to the format the Halo 2 maps?
I think it sucks. No offense but it is way to un balenced.
The SR. Ok the reason why I had no prob with Hugeasses SR is cuz it was bolt-action, this one has the same firepower and now is semi-automatic, dealy accurte, and kills a F***ing JET IN ONE HIT!!!! also the jets are COMPLEATLY un realistic. Four Machine-guns and only two rockets that have an effecteve range of only 300 ft or so?!?!? first off a jet (lets say the F-15 tomcat) can carry 4 missiles, usally having an effective range of at least 900 ft. Also most missiles now-a-days have homing tech. The F-15 also carries an internal 20mm Gatling gun (with 940 rounds of ammunition) in the right wing root. It is reasnt to small arms fire also. Another prob wit it is the differnet Veachlles in the map. Blue base gets a slow walking (not to metion clunky aiming) spider thing while Red base gets a longsword capable of firing rockets like a machine gun, has about the same speed as a jet, and holds 4 NUKES?!?!?! one last thing that sucks is the Wartys and also the peli. The wartys are screwed up in the physics and the peli's cargo keeps falling then reappring on the back of the Peli. So if ya fix thease things then it deserves to be in the outstanding mods but untill then, mods, take it down. Don't just put it up beacause of size. If that were the case then where is bloodgiant huh?

Well mabey its not an F-14 or 15. Mabey its a whole new ship Mabey its a Snap-42
Why the FUCK are any of you bitching about how it is unrealistic?...
Halo (n.)
Sci-Fi
Fi = Fiction
Fiction = Not Real

I do, to some extent, agree with spartan. My liking for this map decreases every time I play a game and I see my entire team sitting in the mountains with sniper rifles, which has happened multiple times.
Although I also agree with Veegie that Halo is a sci-fi game and is of course unrealistic but the sniper rifle is a more dreaded weapon than say...the longsword or mythos. Then again, I do go play this map at night almost every other day so I obviously still think its a very cool experience. I just wish the jets had a little more power and the sniper rifles were more alike those of the bolt action ones on Hugeass.
I tried playing around on the map and wasn't impressed. The vehicles are difficult to control.
1. Jets - don't hit a mountain or any other surface. The wings get stuck in walls at the drop of a hat.
2. Pelicans - Pelicans are always difficult and these are no exception. I got in one and immediately flipped it over on its back. I couldn't get it off the ground or right-side up.
3. Hogs are just too fast. Fast hogs tend to flip on their own. The ground consists of huge sharp planes so when you go over one of the many "creases", you flip if you aren't careful. Nowhere does ice freeze into huge triangular sheets joined at creases except on oversized halo maps.
4. While most people will fly around and follow the nav point, trying to drive anywhere is annoying. The hogs are fast and hard to drive and there isn't any real way to tell where you are or where you are going. Endless expanses of snow. Yawn. Why bother with hogs?
5. Getting the flag is weird. You fly to it in a fast flying vehicle then just land on the ice, get out and run to get the flag. Then run back to your vehicle and fly off. It feels strange.
I never liked Hugeass, either, so I'm not surprised I don't like Coldsnap, either.
Look I just think it sjould be called a beta at the least. It is not finished and the fact that tiamat just makes big maps or conversions is bad. Hugeass was good and if he smooths out the map so it isn't so blocky and sharp maybe it would be good. also make the spartan run as fast as the warty ( not the coldsnap one the normal one). Like make the crouch button a sprint button. preatty easy. Also the controls for the wartys are messed up. Its because he just set them fast and didn't bother with the physics of it. The problem is he has TGEP ( The Good Enough Problem)
It's made to display technological-achievements, not balanced game play.
It's a fun map that is fun to play even by yourself.

The map is fun. It is better than 90% of anything else released for CE. However, it isn't incredible. That's alright, when you dont get caught in the hype, you can enjoy a map/mod/game for what it really is, not what it isn't.
Mabey its a Snap-42
