I've been wanting to find out if you guys ever thought of the possibility of ever making a Custom Edition server. in case you guys have not noticed, Halo Custom Edition attracts over 3000 players daily, about 6x the amount of players that play Halo FV ( full version).
I've seen clans that specialize in zombie servers such as ZA, that have already implemented Custom maps into their servers such as BC_Spooky_Hollow and Garden_CE and Delta Ruins. It will be a great leap foward for this clan due to the fact that the Pro Stats servers are running low on players and maybe couple of times during the week will the server actually be full for a while. I guarentee you with the amount of players in Custom Edition, Pro Stats will be a #1 Hit.
I've been to plenty of zombie servers in CE. and most of them are identical shitty version of zombies, either zombies are too fast, or the score limit only goes up to 50 and game ends, etc. With a server like Pro Stats that has such a unique script that no other server has, it will def be a big hit. It would be nice to move the ZA CTF server in return to a Custom Edition server since no one has ever played in the CTF server really.
Not only will this open up alot of opportunities, but we can aslo have gamenights were we use custom maps for funner, different panics that we are already accustomed to in regular Halo. There is already a '' how to '' guide to installing CE, and the custom maps in the tutorial section of this website for those of you who still need help DLling it.
tldr; alot of people play custom edition, and opening up a unique server like Pro Stats will be a big hit

I was under the impression that the phasor on CE was nowhere near the level on FV.

We tried CE before. It didn't work out. Plus I don't think our scripts would just be copy and paste to CE. We dont have enough members and admins interested in CE to run our servers, so if we did it, we would have rule-free servers, and that's not something ZA is interested in.

Although I do agree theres a lot of potential in CE for ZA, this would require slim doing a lot more work, of which he is already doing a lot !!
and personally I HATE CE, it sucks so bad !! |

I know right. People are too lazy and ignorant to download Halo Custom Edition and custom maps for it. I remember us playing Tremors in [H2]Coagulation map (Halo 2 version of Blood Gulch with Halo 2 weapons and vehicles) and boy, that was over 9000! times better than playing Tremors in Blood Gulch from Halo full version.

Shawn I've told you before, the prostats scripts are for phasor on full version. They will not work on ce. So it is impossible to try this.

first off you dont need to download maps.
http://blog.haloanticheat.com/
auto downloader, if you join a server that you dont have a map for presto it will download automatically, and i swear, it has many maps avaible like that. maps are a big reason why people dont play custom. it takes forever to download em, and its confusing on installing. I think that we could get all this running and it would work. CE has SAPP though that sucks from what i hear. I think we could get a classic type of server running and i think it would be popular.

I don't remember us really ever getting the CE server set up with admins or anything. I just remember using it once for a movie, and only 2 people besides leaders could admin it. I think there is a good amount of potential if we were to open any type of CE server, because there are a lot more people playing it.

We tried and didn't work, but if we are going to try again then I am willing to download and install Halo CE one more time. No clue how to scripts would work since it's only for phasor with full halo.

I like CE and am willing to help admin the CE servers but getting the maps downloaded and installed is a pain.

CE is pretty cool. Maybe it could be a mini division? |

I've been playing alot of of Halo Custom lately. Big problem trying to admin it that would have to be taken into consideration. I've noticed that about 70-80% of the players in the servers i have visited do not speak english. Just to toss it out there. Most are extremely rude and obnoxious. |

It's true that most of them don't speak English along with 90% of the servers being hosted on the default stock maps. I don't really care if they don't speak English, but I just wished more people played on custom maps though since it's Halo Custom Edition.

I actually think moving to one CE server is a very good idea. I can ask a few CE-based clans what software they used for their scripting, so the technical transition shouldn't be too bad. But then again, I don't know how much time and money Slim is willing to put in. Still, I'll say that from owning several servers in CE and FV, CE servers have way more traffic (although I agree Herc about the amount of obnoxious ppl).

maybe make the server private and password protected so only a select number can join

Champion doyou mean like a CE version of a classic server? In that case it will only be successful on ZA gamenights since the amount of traffic in regular halo ZA classic isn't that high daily to begin with.
As for helping out the pubbers who will play ion the Pro Stats server, an idea crossed through my mind that I saw from a clan that tried to help their fanbase ge7t the custom maps.
Whenever they were gonna add a map that was custom into the map rotation, they would announce it during the server 2 weeks prior to adding it. So basically how the Pro Stats server has automated messages every couple of minutes, well instead it would say" Be sure to download the map Delta Ruins before September 1" so people were already aware of the new map being installed in.
And like vult said yes 75% of people speak Spanish soyou gringos might need to learn some little Spanish slang alchile porque si no te van a dicir mensadas y ustedes ni save que estan haciendo
And no offence but if a bunch of Mexicans can fill up a 16/16 server for custom maps then I don't see why its hard for you guys.
