The Flood
The Flood do not have any buildings except the fort which is exactly the same as the covinents but infact start off with a collection of low and high level units
The flood get 10 Infection form every minute, Infection forms have low defence and low attack but the ability to "resurect" dead troops and take over none sheilded troops makeing the troop have more strength that the average human, covernant soldier

As they do not purchase anything they do not require money, Flood and not take over flood!

As you can see it ads 3 new factions. i will post some work up soon, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

if you have any ideas for the tech tree or any corrections can you message me please

beware, there was a Halo mod for Zero Hour, and it got shut down when Halo Wars was announced.

you'll be getting a Cease & Desist letter in no time

[Pixel]

Microsoft/Bungie would close it down as soon as it gets there attention. As it interferes with there Halo Real Time Strategy.

where are the Brutes?

anyways, really really good luck on getting this done... there was a mod for CNC which was shut down but Microsoft because they are going to make a RTS game for Halo only on the X-box 360 though...

damn Flame, if you post before me

edit: damn, even ched'master was before me
also, Microsoft turned them down, not Bungie

No, Microsoft & Bungie....
Halogen has been ordered by Microsoft and Bungie to stop all work and remove all
Halo content from the mod. In accordance with their legal right to do so,
Halogen's website has been removed.


As for the 360part. I can see it coming out on a pc release aswell...

yeah i guess that could be annoying might need to change idea... :(

the brutes are members of the covinent and are a grade 2 unit also Tartarus is a hero and he is that brute with the giant hammer

[Lauri]

well, doesn't Microsoft control Bungie within the Halo games?

anyways, there was just someone who told me that... a dummy I assume...

[connected...]

yeah microsoft owns bungie...

[Lauri]

Halo Wars ~ probably Vista... Microsoft wants the money...

and connected, I didn't read your ideas as I knew the mod would probably never see the daylight

[connected...]

lol :( its a tad annoying...

[Phil]

Then make up your own universe for the mod. You can base your things off Halo as long as you don't use copyrighted names or styles (I think they can shut you down for close resemblance too).

You'll also have more freedom with adjusting the story to what can be done modding-wise

[Black_Serenade]

I was just about to say would that work if we done that instead, but you beat me to it . Are they very strict with the resemblance?

[connected...]

thats a good i dea i was thinking about that as well was just thinking of a tech tree for it actualy =]

[Bart]

just call it HeyLow

anyway, about the recruiting:

Hmm... Halo = very copyrighted. I seriously doubt this mod will survive beyond it's planning stage I'm afraid to say.

Even if it comes out for the PC, it will likely be for Vista, just as Halo 2 for the Pc is.

[punisher60k]

how on earth are they meant to stop someone from making a mod exactly? They can't physically delete the files you have stored on the computer so its not that you have to scrap your ideas. Unless you put it up to download but i doubt people from microsoft really look at this site or mevault (i asume at aleast )

[Pixel]

As Halo is copyrighted by Micrsoft... Basicly they own all of the names/content/designs/ideas etc... Everything to do with Halo. Sure they will never actually know that you deleted the files or not. But they can physically stop you from releasing a mod to the public.

[Eonwe]

I made some factions for Halo wars. Similar to BFME since it was also a 360 game.

I had a flood faction

Brute and Jackel faction (drones )

UNSC faction

Grunt faction( hunters too )

Elite faction

I hate the fanbase though (on the forums). People are know-it-alls even though I signed up on the exact day they announce. other people joined on a later date. So I hate the fan base. Some people have stupid Ideas. Like buy one marine send him to a armory to buy a weapon (makes no sence). So I stopped going to the site. Even though My list were good.

PS. Microsoft would cancel it. Look on the bright side Halo Wars is comming.
