I'd love to see someone do justice to the Schwinnz map style, be it Cove or Grove or something new.

What's the Schwinnz style? Vehicle chokepoints in front of the bases, teleporters leading to the center?

Entertaining and nostalgic?

Alpha was so simple it was fun, which is great for jumping in and out of games just to kill some time. It also had specific points where you'd get some heated battles as the game played out. It fit CE because the engine itself was simple too. I don't think a respectable recreation could be made in forge world TBH. Sure you could "Reach" it but then it wouldn't be Alpha and I still don't think you'd get the same feeling as before. Just like every game sequel I've ever played, it's always a different experience and most typically, not as entertaining as the first/one before.

I'd join. I might have to go buy gold again.

I have the forum mod I need to get ready for forge file hosting, but I don't want to install until we upgrade to vB 4.0.6.

But that's another problem. We need a real template that isn't hacked to pieces like our current one. There's so few people who know how to use vBulletin 4 though... ;_;

What system could we use for hosting? You have to set the file to download from bungie.net, right?

[jcap]

Oh, I mean is our system for organization. We would be able to create a very nice index of files that link to Bungie, since they are the only ones who can queue a file for download.

It turns out that our concerns over file shares is actually not a concern at all. When you upload a file, as long as you copy the URL, it will remain in Bungie's database forever. So, people can remove items from their file shares and upload new ones, linking to them through our system.

The system I have picked out allows ratings, comments, downloads, version numbers (so you only need one thread for all versions), date posted, last modified, authors, and a few more things I can't remember off the top of my head.

I'd like to do it, but it would require an overhaul of templates I'm really not up for.

[Siliconmaster]

Oh wow- that does make things easier. I'd help, but I have no clue about web design, sorry

[Futzy]

Design I can help with, but I can't do anything with coding.

Eh, I've never made it any secret that I didn't really care for those maps, but that's more because long range pistol-strafing combat was never really my thing. I prefer the maps like Fissure Fall and The Narrows (the CE one by Peter Sakievich, not the shit-tastic Halo 3 one) that focused on more on CQB and smart movement. Damnation is and always will be my favorite stock Halo 1 map.

I'd very much like to be a part of this
