I don't know if i post it in the right place, but me and my friend are creating a Halo 3 Custom Campaign. Me and my friend are going crazy over this. We started it off in orbital where the covenant aboarded the ship and the power have shutdown. The odst have to take the drop codes to the back up system and drop. Now thats where the level starts, there are 5 odst and the rest are covenants. Lights turn off, and its all tactical. The end of the level the odst drop to avalanche, where there was a war here but ended before they arrived. Now level starts, The odst have to escort one of their team mates to the base which is run by covenants, after you reach the base your vip hacks into the teleporter. Now the cutscene, they walk into the base the vip starts hacking the teleporter and all of a sudden an elite walks in and kills one odst while the others kill the covenant. Thats all we got to. Now the Idea in the Halo 3 Custom Maps list can you guys add a section like (Custom Campaign). I just gave like lots of people to think of this idea and if you guys do make a section then many people will make Custom Campaign. Oh and after me and my friend are done with a campaign, we are going to make a machinima about it. So look for a trailer during winter.
A wise man once said "Before success comes in any man's life he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do." Your idea of making a campaign sounds stupid, though. May I recommend Garry's Mod?
i think it's a great idea, not so much a "great idea for the site", but a great idea for a map pack or series.
I don't see what this will do for the site, but feel free to do so yourself. And just stick it in the Casual Maps section and add a tag for it.
I'd advise you use parts in the odst campaign for this... instead of making your entire "campaign" in forge... in halo 3... without odst armor... or guns... or stuff. Just my opinion though. Good luck, you're gonna need it.
I dont think this is a great idea for the site but a good one for the cutom people. This should be in Halo Discusiion
Forge is not powerful enough to do this well. It would be incredibly limiting. You can't have scripted sequences to make gameplay more interactive/intense, you can't have your own music, and story lines can't be pulled off well. Instead try modding. If you choose a good engine like the Unreal Engine 3.0 or CRYengine 2 you can really let your imagination run wild. ~PureCarnage~ Trust me Level design is much funner and more satisfying than forge anyway.
how do i get those engines is it a mod for halo 3 or for like computer or something Edit: and is there a way i can get the map to halo 3 like a mod?
Most Engines like Unreal are free to use. Search Google for that. And no there isen't a way to get into H3. Anyway why would you? Putting two completely different engines (including coding and ****), all into one would be horrible, and would need along time to re-program.
Ok i got it now. For now im going to practice on unreal engine to get used to how it works, then im going to wait for cryengine 3 comes out because ive been researching that cry is better than unreal, and the new cry 3 works for ps3, xbox360, and pc. So i might like make a site with all games i make and mostly all my games will be for all the consoles i mentioned. Wait where can i download unreal engine 3, Do i need a license?
