Well shoot me silly full of holes.

Marathon modding might just break this drought.

Might
But we seriously need to get back to work...

[crazyshroom]

This is what I like to call the effects of school. Wait for exams to be over and people (including me) will release some mods.

same, i got a month left. Then expect some mega shit, like assault rendition, and me finally finishing andor lol.

Yeah when summer comes there is going to be some Mod Spamming and i will hopefully be part of it.

[Jrr51]

I know Moxus had 2 mods he was working on before he became....inactive.

I beta'd one of them and it looked very promising.

Unfortunately, my expectations that it will ever get finished and released are somewhat.....low....

I guess I should have expected that because of this most of the good ol' modders would disappear as well

Yea, I'v noticed that most of the old modders are either totally gone, super inactive, or just not modding anymore.

Another disturbing trend I have found is that when I got back from the period of time when I didn't play halo, about 5 months, I found that the servers that were playing mods, such as The Island, were about 80% less then they were last year.

Mods that I used to see all the time being played are now non-existent. This is either because people just don't host them or joiners don't have them. I would help host more mods but this new internet that I am using won't let me host. =\

I hope we can find someway of reviving the community.

I also noticed that most of the mods being produced nowadays, are just variations of bg, island, or shaft. People need to stop making variations, there's way too many as it is, we need to make new maps. I'm tired of seeing people use the greatest mods out, as canvasses. Sure occasionally there's a great varient, but for the most part, in a general sense, they all look the same... It's gettin old. Sure importing some new scenery, and doing some meta edits, makes a mod, but that's all anyone does anymore. We need new maps, new content, not the modifying of what we already have, it's already been done and seen before.

New new new!

Woot !dentity for president of the Milky way! or just as a pioneer of what shall be known as the greatest halo modding acievement of the world as we know it in this forum!
In Short: I Agree

[Slapzy]

I can't do it by myself guys... >.> We'd all need to make an effort to revive this community.
I know I'm not the only one, there's a few others I know of as well, that are doing research, and working on easier ways to create new content. But I'd suggest that everyone take at least an hour a week, and put it into some sort of research, or ideas.

The only thing I'm thankful for about finals is that they are easier than most other tests..........at least in my World History class...........and I get four free days...............

[Magnum]

I am sure once finals are out of the way, many people will slowly make their way back. Heck, I know that once school ends it always happens. It usually goes, people mod til about around middle of school, or past half way. Then they have to stop because of how busy they are. By summer, they are all back, releasing and making up newer mods. Thats just the way it is, especially for me. Just give it some time. For me, I only have 2 more weeks of school. Sooo I am trying to re-learn all those modding techniques again so once summer comes, i can be in the thought process of new maps. And by new maps, right now, the only way to make those is import scenery, and use those to make new maps. Unless you want to go through the process of getting a windows-bleehhh-to make your own scen tags. Thats all there is to it.


Just give it time.

How was it not CSS? There are quite a lot of changes you can make to a map and still have it CSS. Oddly enough, though, most of the 150+ mods in the mod database at HDM are not CSS.

[Rofldonutburger]

That's because people like to use CE imports?

[xxxshooter]

Heh... well believe when i say that i will definitely be working on my WWII mod this summer... try and remind me not to play so much COD2 lol.... the 9 month project continues lol.... i definitely look forward to coming back as a regular during the summer.
