Yeah I wanna mod forge gametypes/forge object lists :(
20 mancannon track dropping ragdoll elites and cheifs on there, who then all pile up at the end of the track, place fusion coils all through it and proceed to shoot at it.

Screen shots of a 30 ragdoll explosion would be win :)

But I know it won't happen unless them crazy modders make it for me...But that's not gonna happen :(

well you could do a 30 body explosion with the help of instant respawn but then they would just do the arm flail and not true ragdoll. :P i enjoy ragdolls to much.

I agree with Scotty... the main programmers of Halo 2 modding applications aren't really active anymore and with the reliability of the current apps, it's no wonder most people have given up trying to mod.

I didn't stop because I ran out of ideas, I stopped because my maps were always getting fucked and broken for no (apparent) reason.

I'm not just going to bitch about the apps, because they did unlock a lot of stuff for us and made a lot of things much easier. But they also brought problems aswell.

Unless there's a serious improvement in H2 modding or H3 modding becomes possible for us regular Joe Xbox 360 owners, I think activity on this site will just decline and decline, unfortunately.

Halo 3 modding, even if it becomes regular, will never be as popular. Halo 2 was the peak of Halo modding.

Agreed. Either way though, I'll still be here to greet Ketchup when he returns. :)

I might start posting on digg or something. I need something to do.

I can't update my avatar. Before I upload it, where my avatar would be, it says "I haven't been able to find your avatar." and when I try to upload it, the screen goes blank.

What happened? Did he lose lots of information when he transferred? I mean, I know that we lost posts and threads, but I'm not sure why we wouldn't be able to update avatars and why the new posts / old posts thing wouldn't change.

Also, even though Halomods was down, and I got lots of people to sign up at my site, none of them posted. :/

I wonder if Bungie could make a weapon tweaking menu in forge... because the Halo 3 battle rifle makes MLG less fun.

Just about everything that can be done has been done. Theres alot more left to find for Halo 2. I think Custom BSP for Halo 2 would make people alot more happy. The facts are that the information is out there but people just wont tell us anything. Prometheus is suppose to do alot of the things we all desire but nothing is coming from it at all. We have been waiting for years but nothing is happening with it at all. Theres no updates or information about it. In my mind thats the only way the site would be revived. But I also see other sections dying. The Graphics section isnt as active as before. Theres nothing to spice up what we do here any longer. Halo 2 doesnt even Have a proper model injector, all the models I make and inject look really bad ingame. There isnt much for me to mod out there and its the same for others too. Most people dont have a good enough Pc for games that support those kind of features and plus I love and enjoy modding Halo. The problem is the content not the people. Theres gotta be something to bring people here.

Theres also other ways that could in fact help. More visual applications like being able to place things in real time instead of punching in coordinates and hoping to god its not messed up when you start the game. Its defiantly a hard situation when you start modding. You don't really know what anything means and it all looks like gibberish to you but its really fun and exciting at the same time because you get to play with a lot of things. The availability and freshness of things has expired. No one is going to want to come back to the same old same old. The community has kind of givin up on what we are really here for. I dont think that theres enough options on thing to do for Halo any more. Bungie will never release anything for Halo 2 at all because thats kind of in there code of conduct. As a community I think it possible to bring our knowledge together and figure out what we need to do for a lot of things and the people out there with the information to do all the stuff we need right now, why hold it? When its released there will be no one around to use it. There would be no point in releasing it 6 months from now or a year from now.
Agreed.
Although Halo 2 is pretty new to me, because I waited too long to get my Xbox ready for it.
And now that I can mod, I don't have the time to do it. Between work and my personal life, I would be lucky to get in a few skins. I'm always so tired because of the hours I work... Almost every day from when I get off of school till 9:00 PM, and on Saturdays I work all day, and sometimes Sundays as well. So all I do when I get home is pass out and sleep..
I'm really never home anymore, which is possibly why I haven't been very active.
It also doesn't help-as you said-that there really isn't any advancements for Halo 2. Even though you guys at Remnant got online Coop working, no one's really even touched it except for a few people. If that was figured out maybe a year ago, it would have been used a lot.

And it doesn't seem like a lot of people really even care about modding Halo 2 Vista.. on this site at least. And personally, I don't really care about Halo 3 modding. If it happens, great; if it doesn't, oh well. As it was said, Halo 2 was the peak of Halo modding. Now everything's just kinda going downhill.

I see what you are saying, Dark, but I beg to differ. Halo 2 had a peak in modding but I don't think it will bethe peak. My guess is that people became bored with modding halo 2, and if they did release something it may be overlooked or not even payed attention to. I believe halo 3 modding ( when publicly possibble) will be the peak of halo modding. At this point it is extremely private, but the more something is kept hidden from a group of people, the more they want it. That being said, when H3 modding is publicly possible, it will be huge.
