New maps revealed

[Hurrvish]

GameSpy has an interview with Jeremy Statz (http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/halo-2/778206p1.html), of Hired Gun (the guys putting together Halo 2 Vista), looking at Uplift, one of the two new maps coming to H2V. (The other is called District.) There are 6 screenshots, as well; you can get a good sense for the strategies that will be needed on this map next month by checking this out! Thanks, Bootsman (http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=791393). (Louis Wu 12:39:13 UTC (http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/what.html))

I don't know why, but this remember me ce maps ? :confused2:

Looks cool.

[Sever]

Looks like Desolate meets Erosion + bridges. Good bridges at that. Reminds me of the bridge level I'm working onright now (think of the bridge section from AotCR, but in the desert) I can't wait!

Jeremy Statz works for Pi Studios, not Hired Gun.

This is a very fun map. Wait 'till you guys see District. :)

[Zeph]

I've submitted a news article for Uplift. Waiting for District to finish it up.

Nitro, I figured you would have tried to get some of your old unfinished H2CE ideas into an official map.

[Hurrvish]

is district more of a chronopolis map? or just a map with lots of structures, but not really a city map

[Kornman00]

It better be your map nitro >:|

And if it is, you can't psbl convince me thats the only one release worthy

And if you do, I'll just laff at your ultra-nub powers none-the-less.

Comparing the screenshots from Uplift with screenshots from when H2V started, this looks a crapload better. $20 says Voodoo was looking at the game before the [bitm] changes.

[NitrousOxide]

Nope, not my map.

The only map I'm shipping with the game is..... *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED*.

lol. I think Korn will cry now.

[someone]

They look cool and fun:D

[Kornman00]

my my my, MGSCI needs to spend a little less time investigating and more time proof reading :-3

1,2,3,4,5,6...assuming each is a letter hes releasing "nomaps" :O

if each is a word hes releasing "no maps because nitro can't mod" :O

damn his ultra-nub-syndrome :/

[Neuro Guro]

Watch "District" be exactly like "Thermal"

[Sakievich]

This is hilarious, you spend months working on something, even get it into CE for testing purposes, and then you find out that alien abductors from MS are watching your computer the whole time...but they always change it just enough so that you can't SUE!!

Just kidding. but it's still funny.

And you guys didn't think I cared...see progress here (http://www.halostudio.org/Cove/images/screenies.html).

MS is the Covenant!

[Love De Lux]

Big Brother is watching you :p

That's a bit offtopic, but goddamn, that's another piece of art you got there.

[Arteen]

Watch only three people notice because Thermal (and lots of other H2CE maps) were never released. :(

Considering how you have a few unfinished H2CE maps lying around and have spent countless hours testing the H2EK, I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few maps nearly ready. :)

[Syuusuke]

Hey well hmm, cool =)

[Kornman00]

ugh, if there was ever a time to use shot tags :V

[Neuro Guro]

Watch only three people notice because Thermal (and lots of other H2CE maps) were never released. :( The map was very fun , it was a large city map like new mombasa and you had paths in the middle along the buildings and that played similar to longest. I looked around for images so i could post some reference but i couldn't find any.

I really hope it is thermal or some other map Nitrous was working on is completed. The maps he made that didn't get released were extremely fun/original and memories of the betas are still stuck in my mind , so I don't see any reason why he wouldn't want to complete at least one of them for vista.

[Arteen]

Doesn't anyone still have any old builds of those maps? I thought they looked so cool, and I would like to have the chance to play them. :(

[Stormwing]

^Agreed.

YOU BROKE YOUR "REVIVING H2CE" PROMISES NITRO >:U


and Uplift looks pretty awesome. can't wait for Ther-I MEAN District.

[Kornman00]

Alot of the h2maps I had are mostly stored back on my comp in the states or were deleted with empty promises up an updated beta back when h2ce was filled with lulz and hot buttzex...

I think if those hogs had some whistles in that picture , they'd be going Woo WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Lightning]

I still have the tagset, so I could compile a build with classic weapons perhaps.

Also, I want my damn Pantheon, Nitrous! I spent a good time on bitmaps for that D:
