Since microsoft has recently released halo as open source (http://code.google.com/p/openhalo/) does anyone see a possibility of porting it? I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category but I wasn't sure where to put it. Edit - can a mod delete this please - someone was playing a joke on me

Clearly.
And you didn't do the research to prevent it, either.
Even if they did release the source code, Halo uses DirectX, not OpenGL.

I was hoping to see a decent quake 3 mod here :/

A long time ago, I played an okay BF1942 mod called Homefront.

By the way, Microsoft did release the source code to MechCommander 2, right?

Microsoft thinks its high time some quality open source games are released noting a significant hole in the Linux Gaming market. "We see it as a great opportunity to introduce Linux users to Microsoft products."

Right...
 
*SIGH*
That does bring up the idea, though, why don't we do our own sci-fi FPS with a great storyline, cutting edge graphics, brilliant gameplay, etc.?
I think we need one.
It's a real pity I haven't learned C++.
EDIT: You know what? Tonight I'm going to get working on some stuff for Pandjoust, and when I finish, I'll try and get serious with Blender. It's about time.
 
I still have my Halo clone in 96k I made for Breakpoint last year - I might release it this year. It plays almost exactly like Halo 1 with snipers and rocket launchers only on the map with 2 ships in space (almost mirrored). The players are humanoids (not working good yet) and are made out of fluids (look a bit like silver surfer). I will probably open source it.
I was aiming for Halo network compatibility once but dropped that idea. Its still multiplayer only, but anyone who comes up with a cool story and / or new artwork can be sure that I would be up to actually work on a full game with story etc.
 
Breakpoint,... is that where we got .Kkrieger? I love that one!

Jay, release that puppy! It sounds really cool!
