Halo NMP

Nico0020 · Post by **Nico0020** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 4:59 pm

So I have been reading a lot about this Halo NMP stuff. But I am still confused on how to get it to work on ur xbox. I konw you have to put halo on your xbox HD. but I dont really even know how to do that. I think i read you can do it without a chip and use an Actionreplay. even the FAQs I read confuse me,lol. Im a bit scared to make a post like this at Halomods.com cause ill probably get flammed. Anyone know much about this. cause i would love to play these new maps on XBconnect.

I'm quite interested by these, but I don't know anything about them. If anyone could shed some light on the subject, I'd really appreciate it.

New map project...what does that mean really, like they added new maps to Halo as downloadable content on XBOX live or something?

I've been meaning to do this, and will update with findings.

I've found them, and have tried most of the new maps out. All the ones I've seen are based on Slayer. Some of them look a lot like it, others don't. There's some levels as large as the usual ones, and some that are a lot smaller. They seem to have messed with the cars so that you can shoot out of them, which is cool. But they also seem to have made them wildly uncontrollable in parts, which isn't so cool.

You get to do the flying things in multiplayer, which seems fun. They've added some new weapons like the rocket bullets. There's a level with a load of new jumps for the cars, and one full of twisting, turning tunnels to hide in.

There are few (mostly graphical) glitches here and there, but it's still good fun. If anybody wants to know more, feel free to PM me...

Yes, basically new maps for halo multiplayer.. With some cool extras.

Work great over Kai

but only with the NTSC version of HALO

Can you confirm, this, az_bont?

Unfortunately, I can't. The version that I found came with the necessary executables to run, so I didn't have to integrate it with my own copy.

as for the orig. question about doing it, if you want i can get on aim and i can tell you how to do it step by step.. (however, if you used xbox live you cant flash the tsop, but you can use the exploits)

It doesn't necessarily have to go on the hard drive, but some form of exploit will be required.

If Xbox Live is important, then you should probably get the PC version or go without

You're going to need some means of running from the harddrive.

I was able to patch my NTSC copy with these:

I've heard about XBconnect, but I don't know much more then it's name, what is it exactly, I hear it's a free version of live, or somthing like that.

In a nutshell it tricks the game into thinking people you are playing with over the internet are on a LAN, so it lets you play any game with LAN capabilities online for free.

http://xbconnect.com/ for more information

Woah, thats wicked, but the only game I know of that uses LAN is Halo...MechAssault may use it, but I'm not sure. Does it use the normal XBOX live stuff like the voice messaging.

There are plenty of games with LAN support, check the xbconnect site for a full list. Be warned though, 90% of the games going in XBC are Halo games, and the rest are usually Rainbow Six 3, PGR2, or CS. If you want to play any other games you'll have to find a buddy to play with.

Hmmmm, I' gonna look into this.
