The Official CMT SPv2 Promotion Items Thread (new pics as of 8-25-07)

[Dole]

Though I still think its better then the old Zanziber map.......
Why do people badmouth Zanzibar? That map is a classic.

[teh lag]

I remember they used to be called "The Conservation Map Team", lol.

I think the word you are looking for is "Conversion."

Conversion and conservation are very, VERY different.

[TeeKup]

Why do people badmouth Zanzibar? That map is a classic.

Because the one on ce was laggy as fuck.

[Warsaw]

Are you talking about H2CE's Zanzibar (too lazy to read the previous page)? That map ran smoothly for me.

[bleach]

It may have something to do with your Computer RAM and memory in the CE Folder. It ran fine on 1 GB for me

[Dole]

Because the one on ce was laggy as fuck.
It depends on the host. For me, 90% of the time it runs perfectly.

[DrunkenSamus]

The REALLY old Zanzibar which was released before Halo 2 Xbox?

[KennyownsU]

Zanzibar first appeared on xbox then pc.

[ICEE]

NO SHIT?!

[CtrlAltDestroy]

NO SHIT?!

Constipation?

Drink more water; eat more fiber. :)

[Lightning]

Zanzibar first appeared on xbox then pc.

Correction:

It first appeared on the Xbox, was first playable in CE, then was playable on Xbox.

:win:

[KennyownsU]

NO SHIT?!

This is what he posted.

The REALLY old Zanzibar which was released before Halo 2 Xbox?

That confused me. So just cool it.

[ICEE]

Constipation?

bah worry bout yourself m8. but its just like... duh zanzibar came out on h2 first.

[Lightning]

bah worry bout yourself m8. but its just like... duh zanzibar came out on h2 first.

Incorrect.

[ICEE]

how so? tell me and i rep you :)

[Dole]

Zanzibar CE was released before Halo 2 was available to the public.

[KennyownsU]

That is strange that a map is made from ripped content not even released yet. lol.

[ICEE]

yeah. oh well
reps for dole

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Uh, no. It was made from scratch. Get your facts straight.

[Dole]

That is strange that a map is made from ripped content not even released yet.
It was a fully custom map based off of E3 2004 and various other reference trailers, and the H2CE team was comprised of such CE luminaries as:

NiTrOuSoXiDe
Mrs. Doublefire
ZexGX
Kornman
Supreme Taco
Rec0
NeuroKoNeza
LightningAnd maybe KiLLa and one or two others. I just know that the eight people I listed were definitely on the team.

[KennyownsU]

They did a damn good job to make that map look as good as it does.

[Dole]

That's why I can't understand why it gets badmouthed so much.

[DrunkenSamus]

.


That confused me. So just cool it.[/quote]

Uh....I'm not yelling or anything. I was pretty cool when I posted that so...bleh.

[ICEE]

they did do a good job but still... zanzibar is kinda boring

[Hotrod]

While we're talking about the H2CE mapping team, I was thinking that it would be cool if somebody remade New Mombassa for Halo 2.

[Warsaw]

Zanzibar first appeared on xbox then pc.

However, it was first played on PC, then XBOX.

[Dole]

Well... first played on PC by people outside of Bungie. >_>


While we're talking about the H2CE mapping team, I was thinking that it would be cool if somebody remade New Mombassa for Halo 2. Now, we should really get back on topic.
Considering Nitrous is on HG, it's probably already done.

But then again, Nitrous released another New Mombasa map called Earth City (it's available for download over at Halomaps in the Halo 2 maps section).

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Neuro...?

[Dole]

I mean Nitrous, bad typo there, I was thinking about something else.

[Hotrod]

I meant a conversion of the one in Halo CE, so it would have the same layout and textures (maybe better textures).

[KennyownsU]

But make it a little smaller. It was way too big on HCE.

[Warsaw]

Nonsense...you just rarely had enough people to make it fun.

[KennyownsU]

It wasn't that it was just so damn big. Took forever to get to the other base.

[Dole]

What's the rush in getting to the other base? The point of the map was to kill people and have fun.

[KennyownsU]

Apparently the only variant that I played on that maps was CTF, but never slayer. Its been awhile since I played on that map tho.

[Warsaw]

CTF was the best ever on that map, especially if you were the guy who went up the teleport and sniped...just watch the kill count rise... :)

[Ralex123]

Sorry for that mistake teh lag. I have played HCE Zanzibar, sometimes it is good, but it can gett boring if it is by yourself. Oh well, I just liked using the energy sword to get to the top of the map to snipe and get the gravity rifle. Fun.

[tomdoml]

Sorry about this but when is the next update comming, its been longer that half a month since the last one. Also not to be a pain or anything , but will spv2 be finished this year or next year?

[Hotrod]

Don't ask for updates, they'll give us some when they are ready. Spv2 will probably come out soon. Last I heard, they were around 75% done.

[lazer_kittie504]

*cough 70% cough* (masterz said on a diff forum)

[Hotrod]

Didn't he say 75%? I must have made a mistake.

[CabooseJr]

needs moar updates.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Needs more CORRECT SPELLING.

Also, update whenever the hell we feel like it. :cool:

[Archon23]

They'll udate it whenever they want, or when they actually have stuff to show us. It could be a month from now, maybe a year, or when were all rolling in our graves. :D

[ICEE]

nah some of the cmt are probably older too. if were rolling in ours, they could be rotting in theirs.

heres a question that cant be answered with "whenever the hell we feel like" (lol), how long has this project been going on? i heard of it fairly recently...

[Warsaw]

It's been going on since they felt like doing it...:p.

[ICEE]

ehhh

[nooBBooze]

it´s so quiet and cold out here...

[Ralex123]

I need an update. We can't get one for a while though....

[TrU7H]

oh man...only 70 percent.....and they say it'll come out by the 25th of this month?.....

[DrunkenSamus]

Obviously they're not telling us something...

[TeeKup]

oh man...only 70 percent.....and they say it'll come out by the 25th of this month?.....

You'd be amazed by what an individual can accomplish on his own. Combined together they're abilities are limitless. also captain planet

Jahrain made his Lost Spartan biped in 3 days flat.

[Amit]

Fixed.

[ICEE]

besides id think that certain parts of ti are hard and others arent. so 90% of it could take an hour but the remaining 10 could take months. (dramatization)

[TrU7H]

Needs more CORRECT SPELLING.

Also, update whenever the hell we feel like it. :cool:

wait, you're part of both z-team AND CMT?.....wow......speaking of z-team, since you're part of it, how many percent of your "z-team's campaign" is done?

[Masterz1337]

CMT is like Voltron :).

[ICEE]

voltron? you mean your subliminally advertising prostitution, drugs, and child-beating? crazy. maybe i shouldn't be here...

[teh lag]

voltron? you mean your subliminally advertising prostitution, drugs, and child-beating? crazy. maybe i shouldn't be here...

What.

[Kelzorz]

What.

i think it was a joke

[TrU7H]

what is voltron anyways?.....(this is getting off topic)
but still, since you're here masterz, how many percent of SPv2 are you guys done with?

[teh lag]

We're about x/y*100 done with it.

X is how much time we've spent, and Y is time from start until finish.

[{G36} SoRRoW]

:XD: Umm.....ok.....my guess is between 75% to 100%

Also one question...i,ve heard that SPv2 will be out sometime by the 25th of this month...Is this true or a rumor?

[AAA]

CMT is like Voltron :).

He was talking about Power Rangers.

and what's this? No Update??? ='/

[teh lag]

Voltron != Power Rangers. Voltron > Power Rangers.

[ICEE]

voltron is like japanese powerangers.

id like to know if the animations of the weapons we have already seen are changing. im definitly a fan of quality animation. i get excited about a new weapon, even if i know exactly how it will fire and play, just to see its melee, reload, and idle animations.

We've got new anims for the BR and Spiker already. We might get some for the AR as well, that depends on how good leet is in bed with masterz. I made some Ma5K revisions, but I wasn't too happy with how they turned out - we might see new Ma5K stuff, but it's not guaranteed. The sentinel beams got a MAJOR overhaul, with new weapons, new skins, and new models. We might have other new anims that I missed, but that's all I can think of now.



voltron is like japanese powerangers.
No. There may be some minor similarites in the idea of "5 people do stuff and fight stuff," but from then on it branches off alot. Voltron is definately more awesome.

[Ralex123]

Good job CMT. Keep up the good work, etc., etc.... I would really be happy if they finished at least 80% by now.

[Duck_Season]

No. There may be some minor similarites in the idea of "5 people do stuff and fight stuff," but from then on it branches off alot. Voltron is definately more awesome.

Also Power ranger toys sucked compaired to Voltron. If you remember the all metal Voltron toy. That thing was heavy and sometimes the pieces would not go together right, but it was a well made toy. A metal dicast voltron toy is worth over 500 bucks if you got one in mint condition.

[ICEE]

how is this on topic? lol is the CMT new custom biped voltron? anyways im excited to see the animations. now i wanna see the ma5k, br, and sentinel beam lol. spiker i excpected new anims already but i still want to see em

[bleach]

Well, now that little update makes me want to see the pictures.

[Archon23]

I'm really kinda looking forward to seeing the sentinel because oddly enough I had a fixation on using that weapon whenever I could........Maybe its the whole kill your enemy with lasers thing......

I'm already assuming they fixed the aim on that thing......cause it was annoying in SPv1.

[ExAm]

No. There may be some minor similarites in the idea of "5 people do stuff and fight stuff," but from then on it branches off alot. Voltron is definately more awesome.I'd suggest redoing the AR animations a little bit. The recoiling animation goes a bit too far back for a weapon that's shouldered, unless the Chief likes to dislocate his shoulder to dampen recoil.

[Warsaw]

Or the Chief can't handle the relatively light recoil (he's augmented) of a 7.62mm NATO...

[AAA]

Or the Chief can't handle the relatively light recoil (he's augmented) of a 7.62mm NATO...

or maybe he can but, he just wants to mess with our minds with rubber arms and thin metal plates!

[ICEE]

or maybe its a graphical glitch and it doesnt need to be taken litterally!

[Archon23]

I never understood why people nitpick on the smallest things.

Sure you notice the recoils enough to dislocate his shoulder but when your playing do you really think about that small detail that much?

I rather focus on the guy firing at me then how far back to gun goes as it fires.

[TrU7H]

what archon said
btw, i know the AR with have the h3 sound or something close to it, but will it also have the bullet effect too? lik the tracer thingy.

[Haloking365]

Because nitpicking makes the game BETTER. Because some people would rather play a glitch free game. Because it makes a game PERFECT AND MORE ENJOYABLE!

[RedBaron]

I'm new here, and I'm goin to start out by saying that I actually thought that the AR featured in the recent Coagulation map was very well done. I didn't even notice the shoulder dislocating recoil that much.

Anyway, I dled V1 just yesterday and I thought it was great, which is why I'm here. So I am wondering about the battle rifle right now. I really like the whole BRG as it is right now in V1, so I gotta ask, why does it look different in one of the screenies posted on the first pic? Or is that even a battle rifle? And this is my personal view, but I would rather the CMT team keep the levels laggy if it means keeping all the shiny eye candy. I say this mainly because I dont have any lag myself, lol. But if they are reducing polygon counts and glitches to relieve the lag, then by all means, but I really hope they don't get rid of the great graphics just because some people's computers are too old to handle it. Well great graphics for halo at least...

[Dole]

The original BRG is still in the mod; that gun in the first picture is the new MA5K Assault Carbine, based on the corresponding weapon described in the book Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.

[Archon23]

Basically the MA5K is a stripped down Assault Rifle. You can try on the new MP maps CMT released.

Also Haloking nitpicking does help sometimes but.......how many of us REALLY care about how far back the gun goes when firing?

[Dole]

*raises hand*

Pretty much all of the senior members care about little things like that.

[Archon23]

Why am I not surprised one bit about that?

[ICEE]

i care about animations, but frankly i dont think the assualt rifle's firing is too off

[RedBaron]

K, thanks for clearing up that whole rifle thing, I stopped reading the novels after First Strike... I'll probably go out and buy that Onyx book right this second now.

I'm goin to be nitpicking about something random, on PoA, the logos on the doors should be removed. They just make it so obvious that they were rigged from Doom 3. But you guys are probably way past this, and have already redone the whole level by now, right?

[cheesemaster]

Is it just me, or is AotCR set in sumer?

[bleach]

Is it just me, or is AotCR set in sumer?
LMAO
Is it just me, or is AotCR set in summer? Sumer is an ancient civilization.:)

[Warsaw]

I pay attention to every tiny detail...if certain things are too off, it kills my playing mood.

As for the Pillar of Autumns doors being inspired by DOOM 3, all I have to say is: huh?

[Archon23]

Um That makes not sense.......why would CMT take doors from Doom 3?

[DrunkenSamus]

Because they like Doom. Killing demons has never been funner.

[RedBaron]

If youve played Doom 3, you should be able to recognize the triangular logos on the PoA doors as the Doom 3 UAC corporation logo.

[Archon23]

Hey hes right. On the left is the symbol from the doors and on the right is the UAC symbol.

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/2482/hesrightoy7.png

[supersniper]

Woah!! I never even noticed that before. Thanks for the pic.

[Crazy_aceR]

How do you people catch all of the minor aspects of the levels? I guess I never have time to notice them at all since I am fighting off covies and flood!

[Archon23]

The people here are really nitpicky. Specially the senior members......

[Dole]

How do you people catch all of the minor aspects of the levels? I guess I never have time to notice them at all since I am fighting off covies and flood!
It's not that minor when it sticks out like a sore thumb. It wasn't even edited to match the door's geometry.

[RedBaron]

Yeah, the logo was distorted, and the coloring stood out too... plus it was the first level, there werent that much fighting goin on to distract me, well cept up until the part when you see the two hunters, I was surprised by them...

[Archon23]

Yah I never expected hunters on the first level so when I saw green death coming at me I was surprised alot.

[Revord]

I think that part makes everyone crap thier pants and go OMG!!! WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!!!

Revord

[Crazy_aceR]

I think that part makes everyone crap thier pants and go OMG!!! WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!!!

Revord

Yeah makes you think, "what else is on here???"

[Warsaw]

If youve played Doom 3, you should be able to recognize the triangular logos on the PoA doors as the Doom 3 UAC corporation logo.

I never noticed that before. I have DOOM 3 (excellent game).

+ Rep for the pointer :p.

As for the Hunters, I was just dumbfounded when I couldn't kill them in the usual manner.

[TrU7H]

yea on legendary, it took forever to kill with with a brg and plasma pistol (yes i carry around a plasma pistol, but only to take down elite's shields with one charge and kill with with the brg, mwhahahah)

[Warsaw]

I'm hardcore...I don't use the plasma pistol. I use the AR/SMG and the pistol.

[Crazy_aceR]

Used whatever I got my hands on.

[TrU7H]

lol, easier with plasma pistol, it takes down their shield, you kill with them with anything else you can get your hands on, just not the plasma pistol itself, usually a brg, smg or shotgun. in Spv2, i'll probably be using a plasma pistol and brute spiker hehe =)

[RedBaron]

I just stick with the good ol' human rifles and smash their butts into the heads of elites. I'm old fashioned and like close combat like that. Never did like the sniper rifle, the original or the new one.

[Warsaw]

I like extreme weapon combinations, like shotgun/rocket, or shotgun/sniper.

[ICEE]

as long as i got a short range and a mid/longrange weapon im fine

[Archon23]

I usually carry around a shotgun (If I can find one if there isn't one just a SMG), and either a Plasma or Battle rifle. Too bad shotgun ammunition is hard as hell to come by (Not including the library of course). BR ammunition aint so hard to come by in the first couple of levels. Just look for the Spartans that got blown up by another ones BRG.

[HalosGhost]

as long as i got a short range and a mid/longrange weapon im fine

Same here, Sniper/BRG (MA5K in SPv2, YAY!!!) or pistol/BRG (MA5K) and I can cruise through most of the campain :).

[nooBBooze]

on harder difficulties i stick to my good ol needler, mb a shotty and lots of nades-candy.

[Crazy_aceR]

I like the AR/pistol or SMG/pistol. Don't like the BR a whole lot because of the grenade launcher. I like to soften my target up with a good ole' frag.:lol:

[ICEE]

by soften up you mean completely obliterate?:highfive:


frag+ group of grunts =http://www.bungie.net/Forums/skins/default/avatars/dead_grunt.gif

[TrU7H]

most of the time on the MP maps i have a brg and a MA5C, or a C with pistol/spiker

[Warsaw]

I tend to stay away from the BRG. I hate the Battle Rifle in Halo PC because none of them (except the H2CE one) feel right. All of them are lack-luster, the sounds are horrible, and the view and recoil animations are just, bad.

[Crazy_aceR]

Yeah, I know what you mean. It just doesn't have that feel like in Halo 2.

[Duck_Season]

I like using the needler and plasma pistol. Nothing like killing grunts with the plasma pistol and killing hunters with the needler.

i also like the assault rifle and plasma rifle combo

[bleach]

I hope we start with the MA5C or MA5K and a pistol on most of the levels.

[Crazy_aceR]

From the looks of the first pic, I think we might start off with a MA5K carbine. But it is either the carbine or the AR.

[Warsaw]

The MA5K and M7 would make the most sense for the Pillar of Autumn, the level being a confined space with many close-quarters battles. It would be even better if you started off the next level with the MA5K for consistency (since you jut came off of the ship, and it is unlikely that you magically receiver an MA5C). Maybe have an MA5C lying on the ground from one of the Marines.

Also, do the MA5C and MA5K utilize the same ammunition (if they appear on the same map together)?

Having the carbine and SMG for the PoA would be good or an AR with one of the two would be just the same. Oh, you can start off with a AR on Halo because the escape pods has a weapons locker aboard. Say you grabbed one before you landed, maybe?

Who knows about the ammunition though.

[Warsaw]

He was knocked out upon landing, and was holding on tight just before. There was no chance to grab a gun.

[Archon23]

Either way even if he did grab a gun theres no possible way he held on to it when the pod crash landed........

[Masterz1337]

The starting weapons on a30 you can choose when you walk out of the pod is.

Ma5K
Pistol
Spartan Laser
BRG. You can get the Ma5c, among other human weapons later on.

[RedBaron]

Sweet, Spartan Laser second level. So the map names will still have to same file names? If so, all we have to do is copy and paste in the maps folder, without having to delete the old ones since they'll automatically be replaced...

[mistercheif]

ill be picking brg, and spartan laser :)

edit: masterz can you tell me what weapons we start out with on aotcr?

edit 2:

^ If you just change the name on it, it wont replace.

[ICEE]

wooot! spartan laser and carbine for me. i love em.

also i was wondering, will marines be able to wield the spartan laser? or maybe the Spartan IIIs can. both i would think

[Masterz1337]

AOTC right now is Silenced SMG and the Carbine, although I might put the pistol in place of the carbine.

[ICEE]

whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah




whoah

slow down a bit here, silenced SMG? does that mean there are two smg varients? or is it going to be exactly like spv1, smg is silenced

[Sunray]

Yes. Silenced SMG will be in 2 levels (T&R and another one) whereas the SMG will be in most others. At least that was the last I heard.

[ICEE]

oh ok. well they better use the same ammo, or else some of you are gonna get slapped.:beating:

[teh lag]

oh ok. well they better use the same ammo, or else some of you are gonna get slapped.:beating:

They CAN use the same ammo packs, but it is impossible in the game engine to pick up ammo while holding one variant from another.

[ICEE]

oh good. i was aware that they couldnt pick up ammo from each other though. you are safe from slapping

[Masterz1337]

Well, you won't be able to get a non silenced SMG on a level with a SMG anyway. Not much need for stealth in halo other than T&R and AOTC.

[mistercheif]

Q for masterz1337: Are you still using cmt`s custom sniper or are you using a differant sniper?

[Archon23]

No CMT's not using their own sniper rifle. Instead they asked some other team for theirs.

Course their using their sniper rifle......

[ICEE]

he meant the same one from the MP maps -.- doy

[Hotrod]

Well, why wouldn't they be using it? It's one their only custom weapons.

[Mr Buckshot]

Well, you won't be able to get a non silenced SMG on a level with a SMG anyway. Not much need for stealth in halo other than T&R and AOTC.

In the Halo engine, does the silencer really affect the alertness of the AI enemies? When I played SPV1, I never observed the silencer giving any stealth advantages. I know that in MP, it's different because of the human ear, but I'm not sure if it can apply in SP.

After all, when I snipe enemies from afar with the silenced rifle, they can still retaliate...if I use the rifle and an unseen enemy is around the corner, he'll hear the shot.

[Archon23]

You were supposed to be stealthy in AoTCR and T&R?

I never got the point of the silenced SMG. You still had to get close to use it so whats the point in silencing it?

Yah the silencer never really did do anything. All my enemies knew my position after a few shots silenced or not. I still like it due to the fact I never liked the loud bang.

[Masterz1337]

AI can not hear the silenced shot. I've used it many times. Do remember soon as you shoot someone, they will often say something or fire back, and everyone will hear it. It's usefull for ambushing grunts or jackals.

[RedBaron]

Or the covenant notices the dead body that just dropped next to them...

[Archon23]

I just wonder how the covanant don't notice the smoke trail.........

[Warsaw]

The smoke trails were really placed on the sniper rounds by Bungie for the sake of game balance in multi-player. Without the trails, one could theoretically park themselves at a single vantage point and pick off everybody without ever being found. Aside from that, they probably put it on because it added a cool factor to the gun.

*sigh*
Sounds like Counter-Strike...

although the Magnum was particularly loud.

OT, sorry.

[{G36} SoRRoW]

Q for masterz1337: Are you still using cmt`s custom sniper or are you using a differant sniper?
I was on youtube watching the video "Spartan Laser Reloaded" by CtrlAltDestroy of SPv2 and I seen the H2 Sniper rifle...I don't know what they will be using..I'm just saying I seen it there.

[ICEE]

its probably the Zteam sniper. most likely a place holder

[teh lag]

I was on youtube watching the video "Spartan Laser Reloaded" by CtrlAltDestroy of SPv2 and I seen the H2 Sniper rifle...I don't know what they will be using..I'm just saying I seen it there.

It has been repeatedly stated that all content in that video except the Spartan Laser is that of ZTeam and not CMT.

[{G36} SoRRoW]

oh ok, thanks for clearing it up..i didn't know, i just watched it..lol

[Ralex123]

Covenant can be dumb sometimes... Will you guys fix the way Elites drive in Ghosts? They ram the walls so often, they can't fire at you at all. It makes it sort of stupid.

[KntTader]

Covenant can be dumb sometimes... Will you guys fix the way Elites drive in Ghosts? They ram the walls so often, they can't fire at you at all. It makes it sort of stupid.

Maybe the elites got drunk before the saw you and that impaired their driven Skills.......................:lol:

Elite: Officer I wasn't Drinking and Driving, I was Driving and Drinking:XD:

[ICEE]

i wonder if brutes will drive ghosts/banshees/wraiths?

[{G36} SoRRoW]

i wonder if brutes will drive ghosts/banshees/wraiths?

That would be cool

[Hotrod]

They probably will be able to.

[Masterz1337]

They can do all but the banshees. Not that it matters, once in a vehicle, they are no different.

[Huero]

>:
They drive 'shees in H2; doesn't matter, I suppose

[supersniper]

Well Brutes aren't even supposed to be in Halo 1 so i think that its amazing that they can even drive the other vehicles.

[DrunkenSamus]

The ghosts probably don't even hover when a Brutes driving:XD: Flintstones ftw!

[Ralex123]

Lol. They are probobly grounded to the floor sitting still waiting for you to come. SPv2 is coming along really nicely. I want to fight Brutes so bad. Do you guys have a certain percent finished yet? Such as 80% or above?

[RedBaron]

Bad things happen when you ask CMT when they'll be done. I'm just hoping that they'll stick with the original late July, early August release they predicted a while back...

[Revord]

There will be NO cookies for anyone asking for percent done, :ssh: so dont ask.
Revord

[mistercheif]

^ I hate when people think that they know every thing, revord you are NOT CMT so stop acting like you are.

[supersniper]

Yo man don't talk bad about Revord. He knows what he is talking about. CMT doesn't like it when people ask how long it will take or when it will be done etc. And who said he knows everything its just that CMT has been asked this over and over. Sorry if I came out to strong.

[RedBaron]

Bad things happen when people ask for release dates and progress reports. I just hope CMT will meet the deadline of late July/early August that they set themselves.

Mistercheif, don't dis Revord. If you've actually taken the time to read the other threads, then you would know that CMT has shunted dozens of other people asking for progress reports themselves. Besides, it's hard to take someone who spelled their own name wrong seriously. *cough *cough mistercheif. Just pointing that out. Sorry if I came out strong.

[Archon23]

Hmmm maybe Revord isn't in CMT but at least he knows what hes talking about. If you had browsed around these forums for at least a few days or so you could see they don't give a definite release date. Its done when its done. That and don't question people who obviously know more than you. That includes grammar you know.:v

Also he wasn't acting like he was in CMT. He was stating what all of us regular visitors know already. :v

[Ralex123]

Sorry I asked a percentage. Whoops :(

[DrunkenSamus]

Good things come to those who wait. Or those who bribe people.

[M4573R51337]

I dont care how long Cmt takes to finish spv2 as long as it is good and done to their standards. Cant wait to see all the new content including mysterious new enemy :)

[n00b1n8R]

hurry up masters and get a new laptop D:

[Haloking365]

Im so pumped for SPv2. This fall's going to be fucking EPIC. Gears of War PC, Crysis, Assassins Creed, Halo 3, Half-life 2 Orange Box, SPv2. On christmas break im gonna be in a coma of gaming.

[RedBaron]

Uuummm if SPv2 doesn't come out before school starts... I'm going to be dead before I can play it.

[teh lag]

Got a price on your head eh? I hope they have Internets in whatever post-mortem existance you belive in.

Get out of here Nebulon. Noone likes your style.

[Masterz1337]

[keilg2]

^well that was "off-topic"

[TrU7H]

yea masterz always seem to post off-topic posts, but still
i'm gonna be buried under so many new games this fall i might end up in a coma just like haloking

[3xDistilled]

There's always time for Halo.

I hope you guys get it out before Halo 3, that's all.

[keilg2]

There's always time for Halo.

giggity giggity goo!

[Jay2645]

Any new screenies Masterz? Last one was over a month ago.

[Archon23]

They'll release more screenshots when they want to. :eng101:

[supersniper]

Good answer +rep to you.

EDIT: It says I have to spread it around before i rep you again. UGH.

[Masterz1337]

I havent updated screenshots since I can't play in high res. New computer SHOULD be working tomarow evening, so once I have halo installed, I'll get you a load of new pictures.

[Archon23]

Oh yah you busted your old computer. Well, can't wait to see those screenies then.

[ICEE]

once you get us some pictures, youll get this. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/kids/2004/06/images/big_cookie.jpgcome on. you know you want it!. nice big picture of some brutes and a hunter and you get the cookie!

[Revord]

^ROFL!! I think I have a cookie floating around for you too Masterz :P Thanks for the update :)
Revord

[Huero]

I'd prefer gnomes.

[Warsaw]

I give cookies all the time...just check your cookie folder and you'll see their effects...:p.

[RedBaron]

good thing I manually delete my cookies every 5 minutes... THERES ONE NOW!

[supersniper]

You forgot the milk

[ICEE]

so, are we going to offtopic this thing until it reaches 100 pages or what?this thread should probably be locked until the update or something.

[AAA]

today...the update cums, I can wait! aslong as it come out sometime this afternoon...I hope...

[Jay2645]

today...the update cums, I can wait! aslong as it come out sometime this afternoon...I hope...
Is the update with his girlfriend? :D
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
But, yay! New screenies are today! I forgot that you busted your computer.

[RedBaron]

are you confusing AAA with masterz?

[mistercheif]

no, look on page 94 masterz said that he is updating today.

[RedBaron]

I know that, but why did he quote AAA?

[ICEE]

ummm no he did that to be yucky. im hoping for some pics of the handheld, the hunters and the new brutes. also some brute shot -shots would be nice

[RedBaron]

Lol now I get it! I had to reread it. Sorry, I'm a little slow with these things...

[{G36} SoRRoW]

yay! Finally some screens...can't wait!:D

[mistercheif]

The saspence is killing me :( please hurry if you can masterz1337.

[Masterz1337]

New mobo didn't fix the problem. I have to probably get a new PSU.

[mistercheif]

Omg masterz, :( you got all of your hopes up and then you crush them:(

[Archon23]

I don't mind the wait. And quite frankly he didn't crush our hopes (Well at least not mines). There are ALWAYS complications no matter what.

I can understand since I've fixed my computer loads of time (Dumb piece of shit). So please don't blame Masterz for his computer not working after a fix.............

[ICEE]

ugh. i kinda was excited. oh well. will the brute v1.0 be released open source anytime soon? ive recently learned a lot about command lists and i reaaally want to spice up some ai maps

[n00b1n8R]

It must be tomorrow afternoon masterz D:

[Masterz1337]

ITSSSSSSSSSS ALLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEE ITSSSSSSSSSS ALLLLLLIVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

[supersniper]

Wait what does that mean???...>>>

[Jay2645]

Yay! Masterz brought back Frankenstein!
While you're at it, can you bring back Capitan Keyes? I liked him, and I was sad when... *Sniff* When... *Sniff* THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED!!!! *Cries*

[Masterz1337]

It's alive means my new pc is well on it's way to working. :)

[mistercheif]

as the girl in the cool quenchers (is that how u spell it?) says "i luv u"

[Ralex123]

Ummm... I dont see any picture update... :( Me want now. Where did the soldiers who guarded Captain Keyes go? In the cutscene they are talking, but they arent there.

[Masterz1337]

computer doesnt work

[Ralex123]

Sorry, I thought it was working again. My bad, my bad.

[ICEE]

everyone stand back. im a faith healer.

OH LORD I BESEACH THEE! DRIVE OUT, THESE DEMONS THAT HAVE POSSESSED THIS MANS COMPUTER!

[DrunkenSamus]

Damnit, where's the holy water?

[ExAm]

Damnit, where's the holy water?

Too bad water of any kind ruins computer parts :saddowns:

[teh lag]

Jeez, there's a pic.

....:mad:
.../|\
..../\

[Archon23]

:awesome:

That is all.

[KntTader]

What level was that last screen shot taken from? It doesnt look like its from any of the Halo 1 campaign maps.

[teh lag]

The pic was taken in the unreleased CMT MP level Delta Ruins, which I have been using as a personal test map. It is not part of SP2. Disregard the beta build watermark, it means nothing in the context of this picture.

[DaneO'Roo]

holy fuck, looks awesome if I do say so myself :awesome:

[ExAm]

May I suggest moving the rifle forward a bit to show a bit of the stock, as in the beta. Besides, even if that was only in widescreen, it looked cool anyway.

May I also add, :awesome:

[ICEE]

damn guys. im glad my faith healing worked. looks good

[AAA]

Can't we get a real update of SPv2? =( (basically, an udate)

[Hotrod]

This ain't a hospital.

It will be if more noobs come and ask for a release date for Spv2.

[DrunkenSamus]

Well, God answered your prayer..err..sort of. But yeah its sad to see all of these days being wasted as they can't really finish up the mod.

[The Reaper]

very nice

[ICEE]

im interested in seeing the spiker and brute shot. HINTHINTHINT!

[Revord]

It will be if more noobs come and ask for a release date for Spv2.

Now, why cant I say something like that and not get flamed for it?? I couldnt agree more with you on that point though. So all you noobs, go on and flame me anyhow pffft!
Revord

[nooBBooze]

is it just me or does the AR look a bit more low-res than in the newer mp maps:confused:

[n00b1n8R]

so the new pic is the AR ingame?

meh. (waits for new brute ingame pics)

[teh lag]

Imageshack downrezed the last 2 pics, I'll see if I can get higher res ones.


Edit : Fixed, enjoy the pics of the AR on T&R.

[Archon23]

Ooooh it snows on the T&R now?

[Love De Lux]

^ Snow on T&R isn't new.

* very * nice AR :p

[Ki11a_FTW]

Nice AR but... whats the point of cmt spv2 beta build on the bottom...

[Archon23]

Thats like asking why Beta Build was at the bottom of the Halo 3 Beta you know.

[Roostervier]

And it's like asking "whats the point of cmt spv2 beta build on the bottom..." when Teh Lag already said to ignore it.

[thehoodedsmack]

I like the explosion.

[Wizardman]

i need a better computer, so i can see the awsome stuff in it, i have the original one, but it has wierd ass glitches, CANT WAIT FOR IT:XD:
and cant wait to work my devmode on it, hehehehehehe

[DrunkenSamus]

The point is to inform people that its definitely not final. Why do you think that was there? To showcase racists planting palm trees in their bedrooms?

[mistercheif]

On the third picture it looks like you are shooting the grunts leg off. Will you beable to shoot limbs off?

[Huero]

<3
I love you, CMT

[Archon23]

@ misterchief

No.

[TrU7H]

that's just the blood covering up the limb. i see a small blurry ally in the 2nd pic, i'm guessing it's a S-3 with a MA5k, and in the 3rd pic i see a.....er.....what looks like a elite's arm...cept it looks like it's covered with lava.....huh...

the AR and whatever part of the FP arm that's showing looks really cool. but whatever happened to the 4th nade? the HUD has been reverted back to the ones from the MP maps....what's going on here? or is it just a placeholder HUD?

[Ralex123]

Good job, nice snowy T&R. It makes it original, huh?

[TrU7H]

ah and i also see that the missing string thing has been fixed too, good.....it was getting annoying in SPv1......and yes, i realize that this has been fixed since a few weeks after SPv1 was released

[AAA]

Are those tips???....>_>

Well, Nice update :)

[Haloking365]

i see a.....er.....what looks like a elite's arm...cept it looks like it's covered with lava.....huh...
Its on all of the default models, its some kind of lighting or panel thing on their arm.

Also, on the second pic, there's a S-III in the background with an MA5k, thats agreed. But why is it white? I thought conscars already skinned it. Does that mean you got it to work....? The color changie? Or did you just have the non-skinned one ingame? Beta build maybe?

[bleach]

Great Updates! My favorite weapon in the SPv2 might be the Assault Rifle.
Forgive me about this question but...remind me, what are the MP maps coming up next?

[AAA]

I think the reason they have that Beta Build text on the maps is so we and they know the map in the pictures are a beta build...They got the Idea from Bungie and the Halo 3 Betas. That's why the text is there

[teh lag]

Lava? There is no lava in this game.

Also, I just don't have the latest grenade hud from masterz for when I compile maps to take pics.




Nice AR but... whats the point of cmt spv2 beta build on the bottom...

It's part of our hud for beta builds, incase one that we give out is leaked.


On the third picture it looks like you are shooting the grunts leg off. Will you beable to shoot limbs off?

No. What are you talking about? Shooting AT something does not necessarily mean it will be able to be blown off. OMG HE IS SHOTING AT TEH WALL R WALLZ DISTRUKTIBLE NOWSSS11!!1!1?!!?1?

[Masterz1337]

The HUD numer system Lag has his HUD displays the date he got the latest tagset. Thats why he has no 4th nade HUD.
