making a halo like game

Games Other Halo
1

well i just started playing halo 1 online multiplayer again and like every time i re visit it i am reminded of how excellent it is, its almost like counter strike in that it rewards you for careful aiming and strategy, and while the shield allows you to make some small mistakes and react to them but still leaves you with a wound if your careless and let them go down. something that halo 2 got rid of.

so now onto the point of this thread, i’ve been making a few models in blender recently and started trying to make a somewhat halo inspired character and that got me thinking, what would you guys think of a free multiplayer game that was like halo 1 in the ways i mentioned above but not necessarily a copy of halo with stuff like different characters, weapons etc, still keeping the basic halo like feel of not ridiculousness hard but not really “babies first fps” either, for instance adding tagging in relation to shield strength, making it more tactical in that regard and rewarding people for draining there opponents shield, as well as better net code so you don’t have to lead your shots as much, anyways tell me what you think and if anyone wants to help

If you wanted to practice with blender to make animation. perhaps you and i can work on making machinimas using your blender skills, with my stories?

But to answer your question that would be awesome if you could do something like that. It would really great to see how it turns out

This is worth bumping for sure.

I was thinking about how cool it would be for someone to create a Halo-CE-like Arena shooter. Simple gameplay with maps that are smooth with clean walls and edges.

You still pursuing this?
