Halo-like maps?

I was just wondering, wouldn't it be cool if some people made some maps similar to those from Halo 2 and Halo 3? For example, I think a level like Valhalla from Halo 3 would be really cool. Also a map like Lockout from Halo 2 would be sweet. There's a whole bunch of Halo maps that would make great Sauer maps.

I'd try to do it, but I would fail miserably. I suck at mapping stuff...

#98: Vehicle mod...

Actually, it would make sense to create a mod/total conversion of Sauerbraten, where players instead of running around on two (or whatever the number) of legs actually ARE vehicles.

The sauerbraten engine does have some rudimentary physics built in already and if one makes enough compromises with vehicular realism, the changes to the Sauerbraten engine required to support these vehicles would be minimal (if any at all).

Urban Assault (released 1998) contained nothing but vehicles, and the ingame physics were a joke compared to those found in games like Battlefield 2 or Team Fortress 2 but never the less, the game were a blast. So, Sauerbraten should have very little problems being the basis for a really fun vehicle game. Two teams with turretless tanks and AA vehicles together with some choppers would be enough.

So the requests for vehicles in Sauerbraten is not that absurd. Actually, the fact that the requests pop constantly is an indication of SOMETHING constructive out there knocking on the door.

So so much for the joke. But it was a good one, except I prefer tracked vehicles rather than legged. :-)

(Sorry for being offtopic...)

I think if sauerbraten ever were to have vehicles, they wouldn't be like the little halo ones (mogoose, ghost) but they would be tanks that actually slow you down, but give you increased health and firepower.

Anyway, that doesn't really matter.

team fortress2 is a joke.
I really dont see any vehicles coming into Sauer unless someone spends.... a while working on it.

You prefer tracks to legs? Huh, I always enjoyed mount/vehicles that have a bit of rocking in them, the really big mechs and such that thump around. Gives you a feeling on empowerment when each step shakes the ground, in my opinion. But I guess that's a taste thing.

To get back on topic, I think I'm going to try to make a Valhalla-based map. It will suck, I assure you, but hey, practice makes perfect. And Valhalla is pretty basic, just two identical bases with some hills in between.
