I'd do a conversion of the h1 campaign.
That would be fun, it would allow for better shaders/graphics/ai and still keep the h1 feel
a full h1>h2v conversion would probably be easier than the opposite, and give the game decent netcode for once :3
The problem wasn't really the toolkit as much as it was that H2V was not as fun to play or develop for. At least as compared to CE, which was infinitely more fun to play and make custom stuff for, especially after all of the hacking we did at the HaloCE toolkit to make it usable.
Halo CE has players. That's the difference. I think H2V's core editing tools are much more stable than Halo 1's and much easier to use in some ways but over all the tags are REALLY broken and the game itself is full of bugs. Also the editing kit is 90% locked and tool is stripped down real bad.
Never had problems with the tools (besides lack of documentation) I thought they worked just as well and in some cases better than HEK.
Microsoft bastards.
I know Kirby422 would be interested in scripting for H2V, if it was unlocked and such. He told me how he could do so much with the new codes that arent in CE.
Well... if we as a community want to strip down h2ek, decode it, unlock it then hell i don't see why h2v would be a bad game anymore and plus it would give MANY bored modders/map mapkers/coders/programmers from halo ce to move onto a more versatile game.
