Good to know, always appreciated when people archive findings like this. God damn, the Reach engine, that would be so epic on PC, much higher enemy numbers and remember the last level, they just keep coming. We could do so much with a Firefight that never ended. There is a respawn on death...

Welcome Shadowbrony, Glad to see people playing online again. Lets bring this game back from the dead. :)

HALO ENGINE ANCESTRY Chris Butcher - Halo 2 Doc - Game Tech The Halo 2 engine is a direct-line descendant of the 1992 Pathways into Darkness engine originally written by Bungie for 68000 Macs using MPW and C. Not much remains except math functions and overall architecture, but the engine...

It depends, but I definitely push higher numbers then that, on both default campaign, & custom campaign, and co-op. The number was closer to 25-30. There are many virtual console restraints that do not belong in this game. The number does seem to vary, very likely it is some memory limit and the...

Don't just stand there, come in. Don't just stand there, come in.

Thats strange, normally they would have Brute Shot, of course. And I see the AI so you loaded the map from MP menu then you changed the engine mode with an app perhaps? Not sure why the weapons shifted if you didn't do that on purpose, perhaps the weapon list values where loaded from another...

ui\screens\*.wgit aka the .user_interface_screen_widget_definition tag Values 256 and higher CANNOT be set through the H2EK (H2GuerillaNEW.exe), only later via Assembly or with a Hex editor. I realized that some of the original .wgits were included with the H2EK, and unlike the ones I had they...

Which map (and can you fix the pic)?

Good ideas, I wonder if the default installer looks for map file size/checksum, or if it would copy over extra maps. I'd like to include a lot of tools but I don't want people abusing them online either; lordy knows I've got lotsa apps. I could include tutorial videos but I think its easier to...

There is something I've been talking to UF ShadowTeddy about it recently; an updated Halo 2 PC ISO could make it easier for the average user to join the battle online. This ISO could be downloaded via torrent and run by mounting the image, or burning it to a physical DVD. OR, perhaps it would...

IKR, that website was as bad as Astalavista became back in the day. And that was hellacious experience, just when I came to a crossroads I saw their Twitter; sent the message that way. I hear you, we have a new chance to help make H2 great again, I see it. But Project Lazarus was never...

I think its on the devs to provide a message/method to fix the UID/XUID issue, it would not be difficult to implement even a pop-up message or a search for overused UIDs, then a prompt is sent to that user asking them to delete the appropriate file. This is also why torrents are a powerful tool...

Wish I could be of assistance, have not encountered this error before.

There are different types of modding/mapping. The tools (the H2EK) is lacking a lot of features and it is not easy to just pick up and go so I would suggest you start with a Real Time/Meta Editor such as Assembly or Ambiguous, this thread should help you get started: Make your own customized...

Two ISO's just showed up on the torrent sites in the last few days: Halo 2 & Halo: Online, both by NOSTEAM, both have new installers and god knows what else. What is interesting about it is that the Halo: Online ISO is based on ElDewrito and Halo 2, I am not sure....people said it worked online...

Cool to see this again. When we used it before I did not see much of an improvement. Now with a more powerful system I'll try it again. I like to mod in multiple ways, but when this appeared we decided to stick with real tags, compiled textures & materials, as custom mapping was still the main...

The line of people who have tried to topple the great H2v is so long its now trailing outside the building. Typically its someone who seeks revenge of some type or just likes to see the world burn. Same thing happens on H: O pretty often. Hell, I got DDOSed for asking someone not to upload some...

Seeing as MP over Live is all but dead the only reason to login to Live via H2v is achievements from campaign and/or LAN play. So if you want something else such as Project Cartographer enabled online MP or campaign without Live features, you will NOT need to login to that Live account.

They (Microsoft) are finally pushing cross-platform play and some sales. So this game will probably be playable against PC & Xbox players. MS is trying to put Xbox on PC, again, G4WL was their last attempt at this. Its way overdue. There are plenty of negatives but overall its a good thing, I...

Awesome thanks for posting these, I'll append them to my guide.
