Surprised no one posted this (http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=66501) yet here.

Halo CE is now considered an "Old Game" by GBX.

RIP 2003-2007.

Were you around before H2V? If not, GBX was pretty much the kick-it spot for Halo CE Discussion. Most of the members came from there. If you were around, shame on you for neglecting your heritage. <:mad:>

why is THS alloud to get around in cosplay but not the zillites? :(

anyway, back ontopic, it doesn't affect anything as most of the members there have relocated here.

yeah it's sad, but it's not the end of the community or anything.

Really, I don't care. I was there for the last year, and yes it was awesome, but it's almost completely inactive now. Let it die, hardly anybody still goes there anyway.

I read that wrong. I thought that all of the Halo CE servers were going to stop.
Ah, well, that's a relief.

Good-bye, Halo CE forums. I may have only joined for some ancient tutorials and to advertise a map I was making that I never finished, but I'll miss you.

Let's see here, what got started here:
How to script
Devmode
Flycam
Hugeass & Coldsnap
CMT SPV1
Yoyorast Island
Metroid Map Team
Sonic Map Team

And probably more I don't remember.
Too lazy to retype my post.

Yeah... I thought maybe as soon as the forums was gone they could enjoy the fact we can't moan at them for an update when its an OLD game. :(

I was also thinking they wanted ghost to carry on the community for the game so they didn't have to.

Well no one will stop making stuff for CE because it can hold a mass of stuff in many different ways. So people will work with CE untill they fully crack H2V Editing Kit ect.

this jus reminded me I started at halomods.com haha

back when it was cool, and hmt was the shit, spark edit blew everyones minds...

I bet that gbx hce will come back to life again over the summer.. at least it should, thats mostly why it was going so slow, school year, everyones busy, plus we did lose some people, so it was way less active then last years school year which was also slow going. Over the summer some life should come back to it I think...

R.I.P. Gearbox CE forums.

:(

I must admit, it wasn't getting nearly as much attention as it should have in the last few months, but still. :(

That was where I learned pretty much everything I know about the internet.

If they released the source code for the game it would blow the doors open on a new community of modders.

not going to happen any time soon, bungie is still using the engine to make games (granted, its not the entirely same engine, but a lot of the design is still the same)

RIP? Not really, those forums died months ago, last time I went there wasnt any activity part from Sonic map team or whatever its called now. There were some amazing things on GBX, however the BEST things did NOT start on GBX :) (++disregarding CMT:O)

Also Tweek, yup Ennui was a bitch

December 20th, 2007, 02:48 PM
that's where i first announced modern combat back when it was shitty old ambush :( RIP

while it would be amazing to get the source code, all of the halo games are built off the basic idea of the first one. they all use the same setup and modified engine

December 20th, 2007, 05:56 PM
Doesn't this mean that we're officially those map makers who people see on old dusty forums two years from now after they JUST bought the game and they'll be looking up stuff to mess Halo CE/PC around with??...

Truly a sad day.

R.I.P. :(

As I posted at GBX, I don't think they should have done it. Surprisingly the HaloCE forums here and on GBX have a number of active users browsing and posting in them still.

Man, i still remember my first post on GBX. i was talking about how i was stalking the boards for a while, and i posted this awesome MS paint picture in the H2CE Zanzibar topic by Nitrous. And then i remember the beginning of Ravaged, my brainchild and constantly evolving map. I also remember people long gone, like Supreme Taco i think it was, and i also remember SVC. His first model looked as good as his last.

I remember CMT and all that shit, glad its behind me. I remember modern combat, project eulicid, zelda online, metroid online, Texrat's map...dominators maps. I remember the old brown and black boards, and i remember MereCatFish's COERCE and the GBX Gamenights. I remember people from before they were uber like the tower crew, i remember NMC nights with me and masters gunnin the hog. I remember all the beta testin, and the drama.

I remember, and i'll continue to. Adios, GBX. RIP.

Actually, SVC's still around. Well, he was, I think he left about a month or so for another forum.

Last I checked, he was here (http://forums.filefront.com/halo-modding-editing-863/).

I actually liked SVC, he gave me my start in mapping. Which explains why I can't finish anything.
