The new Vehicle HUD and weapon HUD

[Masterz1337]

Some peopel in the other thread wanted to know what the new vehicle HUD looked like, so heres a pic in the sandbox map we use. Look closely, you can see some weapons in development, and old cut weapons no longer in use.

[Hotrod]

That looks very nice. A big improvement over the old HUD you guys had in SPv1. And is that a newer energy sword in the background?

[Hurrvish]

i spy:
an energy sword, 2 brute shots, 1 old smg, 1 new smg, 1 ma5k, an apparition, masterz driving as a marine and brute
(only listing things that arent "old"-ish or things that are odd-ish)

[Hotrod]

I also see 2 different looking Brute Shots and the old Anti Air Missile Launcher that was in SPv1.

[Hurrvish]

by anti air missle you mean a homing rocket launcher that can also lock onto bipeds?

[Hotrod]

No, i mean the big Missile Launcher that was in SPv1 that only had 1 missile per magazine, but it could kill anything in 1 shot.

[TPE]

i dont know what it is about it but it feels clustered and too big

i like the halo 2 HUD best because i really dont have to look all around the screen, i can look at my heath and radar at the same time (most critical for me) but this one makes me feel like i will be looking all over the screen

of course that wont stop me from playing it

[Varmint260]

True that this hud is very different from Halo2 and will take a bit to get used to, but since the CMT mod isn't necessarily a Halo2 or Halo3 specific mod, just a general Halo Series mod, it's good to have something unique ;)

[Mr Buckshot]

Cet nouvel HUD est vraiment beau. Il parait "ownage."

[n00b1n8R]

full tank pics plz.

[Love De Lux]

Cet nouvel HUD est vraiment beau. Il parait "ownage."

Ouais, il own. Il est beaucoup plus beau que l'ancien je trouve ! :p

I see :

-An energy sword
-Abrute
- 2 brute shot
-1 brute
-2 aparitions
-An nuclear Monitor
-A sentinel
-2 Tanks
-A pelican

[Hotrod]

Que veux-tu dire par "An nuclear Monitor"? Et je vois aussi un Spirit.

Translated to english: What do you mean by "An nuclear Monitor"? And I also see a Spirit.

[Love De Lux]

I mean that the light of the monitor is f****ng big. :p Or it's just the .jpg compression.

[Hotrod]

As far as i know, the monitor's light has always been that big. But it might just be me.

[Pred1ator]

hud looks goo but please make the green bars blue....

[Cortexian]

That, looks like win.

[Galap]

whats with the green plasma rifle?

[Shmee]

whats with the green plasma rifle?'

I was wondering about that. MB its a scarab gun XD

anyways, great work, looks cool.

[Hurrvish]

its a jackal PR
lolz
'Edit Insert'

[Pooky]

Yes, there's a new plasma rifle specifically for Jackals

[Hotrod]

I don't see the green plasma rifle. Could somebody show me where it is?

[4RT1LL3RY]

In his hands in the other screenshot.

This green PR

[n00b1n8R]

LOLOLOLOL

nice pick.

FULL TANK HUD PLZ.

[DaneO'Roo]

it's right fucking there.....

*edit* lol

[TPE]

True that this hud is very different from Halo2 and will take a bit to get used to, but since the CMT mod isn't necessarily a Halo2 or Halo3 specific mod, just a general Halo Series mod, it's good to have something unique ;)it is actually more like halo 3 if you look at the leaked screens.

[Hurrvish]

only the health bar is. otherwise, its all custom

[Masterz1337]

The shield bar slightly resembles the h3 one

[n00b1n8R]

can somebody post a pic of the HUD for the tank when it's got you and 4 passengers please?

[Masterz1337]

We don't have one for that, we'll probably end up removing tank seats anyway, it's just a deathtrap for marines, and we could probably save some tag space getting rid of the anims and the anim sounds

[Pred1ator]

awww thats ganna suck..... :suicide:

[Pooky]

We don't have one for that, we'll probably end up removing tank seats anyway, it's just a deathtrap for marines, and we could probably save some tag space getting rid of the anims and the anim sounds

NO! I love having Johnson on my tank with a sniper

[stalker 4589]

i love seeing johnson die on my tank coz he snipes like my gran.
new hud looks win not sure about the green for the health bars but the layout is perfect

[Hotrod]

Ya, the health bars would most probably look better if they were blue. And thank you for the pic of the green PR.

[n00b1n8R]

2 seats. no less.

and make tanks have passengers in multiplayer >:U

[AAA]

2 seats. no less.

and make tanks have passengers in multiplayer >:U

I agree!:(

[nooBBooze]

so the marines are supposed to run behind your tank?
but its soo cold in aotc!

[VendavalEste]

Woah, deathtraps for Marines?

You gotta be kidding me, they fell into a deahtrap as soon as they landed on Halo.

The HUD is looking fantastic though, great job.

[n00b1n8R]

the marines do fine when i drive.

i play tanks at long range, mb that has something to do with it.

[Hurrvish]

heh, i dont care about my marines... i just kill 'em all
im fine with tank seats either way

[Edward Elrich]

The health bars will be blue. I think the green ones are some strange devmode thing that you have to enter a command for. (the trailer for the SPv1 had the green health bars, but the release had blue, yellow, and red, depending on health.

[Masterz1337]

I've always prefered the green bars, since you can check your health more easier out of your perifiral (SP?) vision. I just changed it back to blue though.

peripheral =P

you need to change it to blue..its not what you say that counts...its what the people say that counts

[Hotrod]

He just said that he changed it to blue, unless I didn't understand correctly. And CMT chooses what they put in and what they don't, not the public. The public only influences their choices.

[Masterz1337]

you need to change it to blue..its not what you say that counts...its what the people say that countsWell thank you very much Voltaire. It's the teams job to make sure it's a good mod, not the public. If we listened to what the public wanted... well... It would end up sucking pretty badly.

[Hotrod]

That's what I just said.:)

[HDoan]

If you listend to the public then CMT would be dead or have nuke launchers

[Hotrod]

Or worse, they'd have drivable pelicans in Coagulation or a giant chainsaw attached to the sniper rifle. And they would have a messed up HUD too. Don't forget the giant orbital cannon attached to the plasma pistol either.

[Pred1ator]

no you guys dont get it.... what i mean was ...(lol chainsaw snipers) anyway... what i ment was

If ten or more find soemthing wrong or dislikes something about the mod...
the team must change it to make it better...if you know what i mean

for example.. many people dont like the Green health bars so the team must change it to mkae it better and fit for a good mod

[Masterz1337]

Like the poll on make the nades like H1, when we tested that, it was such a good idea, it totaly killed the weapon ballance.

[Edward Elrich]

I'll say it again, the green health bars AREN'T in the CMT maps. Nor will they be, taking my proof from the SPv1 trailer, where the levels, weapons, and H2-style HUD were shown. That one had green health bars, but did the actual maps? No. Now we can stop talking about this. (But if CMT REALLY wants green health bars, we can't do anything about it.)

[stalker 4589]

master just said last page they were green but changed back to blue. he likes green because its easier to focus on quicker than the blue ones

[[MT]Slayer]

i hope that energy sword has lunge attacks, regular melee (F), secondary melee (left click button without reticle locked on and red).

Oh yeah, why do u need a jackal pr? i mean like is it gonna have a scope or something? its not like that different from a brute pr or regular pr...except for the colors i mean, but whats the use? give me a little info on the jackal pr!!!

[HDoan]

Its to give the Jakals more of a sexy apeal, it has medium damage.
and Energy sword might lunge in sp but defenetly not in mp, it doesnt sync right

[Hotrod]

I think the Jackal PR shoots faster and uses less battery power than the others, but it does less damage. And yes, the jackals deserve their own weapons as well as the grunts (Grunt PP anyone?).

[stalker 4589]

no point in a grunt PP. there is already a PP and the only guys that will use it now are grunts as jackals carry a PR.

also there maybe no sword.. its a collection of old and enw cmt weapons

[Hotrod]

I guess your right. But they never said that jackals would only carry their PR, there probably will be some jackals with Plasma Pistols. And why wouldn't there be a sword? I thought CMT was remaking the sword.

[Masterz1337]

We might do needler jackals as well. Some still use the PP however.

[Hotrod]

i forgot about the needlers. Is there any other weapons that you will be changing for certain characters such as elite Plasma Pistol? And will there be a carbine?

[Edward Elrich]

Don't know about a carbine... but from what CMT said there will be a sword. And I saw a thread about a possible combat knife. Is that being done, or is it a lost cause?

[Masterz1337]

I doubt there will be a sword, thers a thread about whats going to be in it a few threads down. We do have a carbine, it's called the Ma5K

[Hotrod]

A combat knife would be kind of useless because it wouldn't do much damage (unless your a spartan, then you'd just melee attack anyways), and you have a sword that is better in every way. Besides, it would probably take up a lot of the little amount of tag space that they have left. And we meant a covenant carbine.

EDIT: How will the MA5K work? will it be automatic or one shot?

EDIT: How will the MA5K work? will it be automatic or one shot?

both

[Hotrod]

So you will be able to switch between both of them? Or is it that you just click once for single shot and hold to get automatic?

[Xegrot]

I'd like to think that's how it works, since two modes of fire would probably use the right mouse, which is for grenades. If not, then how else are they gonna do it?

[Masterz1337]

It's single click for semi auto single shot, and hold it down to go bullet hose.

[Arteen]

I've always prefered the green bars, since you can check your health more easier out of your perifiral (SP?) vision. I just changed it back to blue though.I thought green was fine. Comparison pics?

[Con]

HUD's looking great :)

[Masterz1337]

I haven't switched over the whpi for this weapon yet.

[Hotrod]

I like the blue a lot more than the green, it's easier on the eyes. And the Brute PR looks very nice.

[stalker 4589]

second that and btw lookout neil behind you.

[Pooky]

I'd like to think that's how it works, since two modes of fire would probably use the right mouse, which is for grenades. If not, then how else are they gonna do it?

It works the way Masterz said for every weapon... you can fire the Pistol full auto too, just no one ever does it because it's a stupid idea. To be honest, It was a stupid idea to ever put it in there.

[Pred1ator]

please dont tell me the pistol skins going to be in mod, cause that skin was ugly IMO

[Masterz1337]

The black skin? That will definatly be in our CE mod, as far as it in H2v, it might be silver, it might be black, it might look differn't all together.

[[MT]Slayer]

awww, i cant like play the SP for CE, so i'm not gonna be able to play any of the SPs, unless i have cable (hi speed internet, super hi speed at like 1000 mbps) and someone helps me to understand the steps to preparing SP. I hope CMT makes a mod like that for MP maps, looking at the AR, BR and the nade, the energy sword, and the maybe newly redone bruteshots? i'm only gonna play MP maps for now.

[Hotrod]

To be able to play SP in Halo CE you either use the console, or you get a SP enabled Menu for CE. You can get some at halomaps.

[[MT]Slayer]

errrh i tried all known steps, including all Custom UIs that have Campaign, and Console, which i typed ~ and then map_name a10. BUT THEN, it just was loading, both ways showed the screen that is normally when you are waiting for the normal PC campaign maps to load/do w/e.

[Hotrod]

It's supposed to show the screen that you usually see when you load a normal Sp map, right? Did you try just letting it load for a while?

[[MT]Slayer]

for like one hour dude, and nothing came up. Am i suppose to wait a whole day? cuz i have a Intel Pentium D or IV (i forgot, either one) 2.53 GHz CPU with 1.024 GB of RAM (184 pin) and an ATI 9250...a Dell Dimension B110/1100.

[Hotrod]

That's odd. Did you try redownloading the maps? There might be a chance that they are corrupted and the game didn't notice it.

[[MT]Slayer]

i dled them from hce.halomaps.org....

[Hotrod]

What custom UI did you use? I remembered that I had one that didn't work because I had the same problem as you.

[[MT]Slayer]

well, that CMT one

[Hotrod]

Hmm... well I can't think of anything else to hep you, sorry. Anyways, we should get back on to topic.

[Xegrot]

Hmmm... I'm liking the HUD, but not so much as the mutliplayer one. The layout of it and it's design is good, but... maybe if it curved inward a little to give it a sense of depth? Other than that, I think it looks good.

[[MT]Slayer]

ya. The green health bars really stand out. I like it, not as much as the MP ones though.

[Patrickssj6]

Looks bambadalyc.:)
