If you are going to use Halo Trial (I don't recommend it) try using island map. I'm a veteran of PC halo and I know you cannot have more than 16. If you bypass this (its possible) either
a. anyone joining your server will receive an exception (most probable)
b. your server will not show on the list
c. no one will be able to join your server
d. your server will shut down as soon as someone joins
However, bloodgulch is not a very good map for something freelancer themed. Try
r3 Island map. Its one of the major mods for halo trial, and it essentially takes the island from the silent cartographer campaign and replaces it with bloodgulch. It is the ONLY MOD that does this, all other mods simply add stuff to bloodgulch.
Since I belong to the r3 clan, I asked the leader and delivered such
However, if you plan to use r3 island, you must give reference to both sword (original creator) and r3 clan (which heavily modified the map.) Further more, they request that if you are going to use it, mod the map first, that way it is not a blatant theft of the map. Please respond if you decide to use the map, since I hesitate to give the link out.

Gato,
The only way i can see this getting popular is if its as persistent a universe as Discovery. Having the server come on only by event appointment rules out any spontaneous role playing from getting played out there.
I would hope this addition could support role play more than what you have indicated. Even without the weapons and arena style maps a game like this could serve as a place to play out previously abstract scenarios. In other words, shooting doesn't have to be the only way this game is played. People may want to dig deeper into their role play and have their characters dismount their vessels for once and meet face to face.
So to me it matters less that Halo may be less advanced than Battlefield 2142 than having something where I could role play my characters even further, to add to their personality even more and put them in situations outside their ships.
