Thats right. I'll be hosting my Island mod for about the next 24 hours. I have a neverending server up at the moment, and its about time you join.

So, download the mod and hope that the server isnt full :)

Seriously!? :shock: I'm gonna join just as soon as I can... But how can you keep it running for 24 hours? I mean, what if you have to go somewhere?

And this map really needs Banshees, Tanks, and Ghosts. Someone make a custom gametype with these things (Make it CTF or slayer or something) then post it up. :wink: (Also needs 400 hp! XD)

he just has no time limit and he doesnt play. i thought we did have extra health in it. i could fall from a huge hight and live?

I changed the fall height needed to take damage because there are so many large falls that would kills you, and they were really easy to fall off of.

That, and I just remembered, I changed the gametype settings to have 150% health.

I don't think the fallheight change actually worked.

No the fallheight thing doesn't work. I fooled around with the mod and while on the heights where the Pelicans are, decided I would go drive a warthog all around the island. I jumped down a little bit without incurring any damage (onto one of those metal things that stick outward from the island center) but when I made the main jump, SPLAT

Great mod though. The plasma shields seem to be invincible. I got a birds eye view of some of those giant circle fortresses of plasma shields... would make for very interesting firefights on a large server with a very good connection.

oh man. that reminded me of what this one red guy did. he took a ghost and ran it straight off the very top of blue base, shooting at me the whole way down. when he landed, he died. i took his ghost and no damage.

by the way, "skydiving" is now an official halo sport. take a pelican, load it and go to the very top of the level. everyone jumps out and dies. also, spelunking is new too. it is trying to go as far as possible in the shaft of the security room. fun fun fun... also, ive heard about a scecret room? some people have said they got into a room by one of the telporters... need to figure out which.
