I know I feel like a complete n00b pulling the "It would be so cool if" thread, but from the very little I've seen of Halo 2 combined with Halo, there seems to be a lot of nice source material for a Halo mod for FS. Missions ranging from the Fall of Reach, the defense of the Pillar of Autumn around Halo, and the siege of Earth, would just be awesome I think. Once I get an Xbox and Halo 2 (X-mas) I'd love to work on this. Unfortunatly I have no talents. But if there is, was, or ever will be a Halo conversion, I'd love to help in any way. I was inspired for this by listening to the Halo soundtrack and noticing how well it would work in Freespace. Anyway, good luck to anyone interested in the endevour.

*COUGH*

I still have the model around somewhere........I think it still works. I never got around to doing the PoA or the Longsword. Lack of decent reference material for one thing, and lack of time and interest in other projects for a second.

A Halo mod could work - the ballistic weapons from the SCP will make things very interesting - but I need inspiration and help to do so..........along with a good set of reference pics and a texture artist!!:)

this is funny cause just now in the shower (while listening to the Halo2 soundtrack) this idea popped up in my head too!

[Killfrenzy]

Oh jeeze......please don't tell me that I've kick-started ANOTHER mod project without realising it! :D

ask Hippo, he should have the model of the Longsword and Pillar of Autumn

[Killfrenzy]

Ah yes, forgot about those....

[Jetmech Jr.]

Where's the Pillar of Autumn model that Hippo had?

[deep_eyes]

Explain your position. Not that it can be explained (), but I'd like to see you try...

Speaking of which, what do you think of the Halo 2 soundtrack? I like most of the snippets, but I wonder if it's worth the money.

[Striker]

I acheived the Halo 1 soundtrack by less than legal means...probably will do the same with Halo 2. But if its better than 1's, its gotta be pretty damn good.

[Grimloq]

halo made up very little on its own. most of the vehicles were total ripoffs from UT2004, and several of the weapons too. allow me to demonstrate:

pistol = enforcer
assault rifle = er, assault rifle  >.<  though the halo one, i must admit, is kinda cool
sniper rifle = sniper rifle, though thats a generic weapon, so i cant blem em unfortunately
rocket launcher = rocket launcher from james bond: goldeneye (N64, i think)
shotgun = flak cannon

and so on.

plus, the gameplay is sloppy and unbalanced, and the weapons are horribly degraded from what they took from it.

plus, the 'pillar of autumn' is terribly underdetailed and werid looking o.O

plus, i just hate halo. the storyline seems to be ununderstandable, as everyone ive ever asked about it says it has a totally different one. and level design leaves something to be desired.

however, i WILL give halo 2 a chance before i start bashing that a lot more. though i dont know how i can ever like it at all.

you must admit, those reasons are pretty good.

also, they cheated by making it available on the XBOX, which is so popular its literally unbelevable.

so, dont play the mod  

uh, to be honest i didnt think of that go ahead, laugh...

[edit] oh, and sorry for flaming. i got carried away. *is under of stress and is feelin very hostile to the world*

[SKYNET-011]

So UT2004 is the only game to have an all terrain jeep? Yeah, right.

The only weapon that was nerfed was the pistol. And the battle rifle has a scope instead. The ma5b from halo 1 sucked.

The SPNKr rocket launcher is based from the marathon rocket launcher.

And shotguns are a generic weapon for many games.

[Roanoke]

those reasons are lame, but each to their own.

[MeekGeek]

On the plus side, though, any FS2 Halo mod wouldn't have ANY of those bad points

I enjoyed Halo...except the level design was sooo dull going through all those levels full of Flood. Same room...same battle...over and over.

An FS2 mod would be a very good idea

assuming

1) There aren't any copyright issues with using the Halo ships
2) That there are enough ships to give variety.

I don;t know about the books and other stuff... how many ship designes are there???? Would like to see some pics. Especially of the Covenant capships. Been a Long time since I played the game!

[Grimloq]

i have no gripe against the halo ships, except that they look stupid and simple...

and when i say they 'borrowed' the shotgun i meant that it acts nearly exactly like the flak gun, right down to damage.
