What is the point

Ok so i dont mod halo 3, but i used to mod halo 2. Why is there .map file downloadable(for people to make iso's?) i have no clue but... i heard in halo 3 you dont mod the .map's you hex edit forge variants? idk im confused. I especially wanna know why the beta maps are downloadable i would kill to play the beta again... prob impossible

[Xpargas]

yep you edit the hex and you can download the .map files so you can get identifiers in johnson to change the hex. and You cant play the beta maps

someone needs to break into bungie and steal one of their computers, we need real H3 mods. I heard before the beta came out people were downloading it off the computer making and iso, burning it to a dvd and playing it before it came out. Is that possible now or was that just because the servers were open?? (sorry probably been asked a million times)

making an ISO doesnt do anything but burn a ripped game for you to play
to mod, you would need some private keys that will never happen

Or a custom kernal.

And extensive programming knowledge in specifically PowerPC processor based Assembly language, Decompiling said files and removing said checks. And if you couldnt tell, he was talking about what would be required for it to happen on a retail console.

to the OP: If some people got the beta early, they most likely were burning ISOs of Hard Drive emulation disks. The Beta at this point is only good for collectors or people learning about Bungie's progress in the development of Halo 3.

yea i mean its just a rumor i heard, see when i had the beta i didnt play it that much (like level 23). Did the custom game glitch once and never really played it again. If you watch videos and stuff it looks like a cross between h2 and h3, thats why i would like to go back and actually pay attention to everything. Well maybe some day someone will figure something out
