So does it grab the map from halomaps or from the game server?

This was Arteen's best map

ridiculously fun to play FFA on

A man of fine taste, I see. I had no idea how to properly texture, so everything has the same 100x100x100 UVW map.

Neither, direct downloads from a central server (or three).

HaloMaps is too slow and doesn't officially allow for direct downloads and downloading from a game server would be either disgustingly slow or lag the game, not to mention it'd mean that the feature would be hit or miss in terms of support.

Very true haha, I didn't put much thought into it when I was posting. What are these 'central servers'? Are they servers that you happen to be hosting?

Yes.

We weren't that concerned about the visuals. The needler with regenerating ammo was the fucking bomb.

I miss CE so much. Good times.
