I apologize. I'm a bit stressed right now, just got off a 6 hour car ride.

I understand your pain, man. So, any other weapons you're planning on updating on?...

Yeah, not pushing everyone to the limit, but are you guys updating (new model/animations) for the BR?

To be honest, I don't like the way the MA5C display turns yellow, etc. It would be better, in my opinion, if it flashed blue and read (like the ammo meter does when low) when you have say, 12 rounds left, and it turned completely red when totally empty (during reloading and when there is nothing left to reload with).

Personally, the colors are great...I likd the idea of a darker blue in there, but it wouldn't fit the style right.

What about multiple colors? like from the original blue and as the ammo lowers, the color starts to turn more into yellow and the same process with Red. Sounds a little complicated, but I was throwing out an idea.

Didn't you see the videos? As far as I know, the BR has new reloading animations.

I'm sorry...this is a stupid question but where do you find all these videos...I havent seen any on the first page. Thanks

EDIT: Woot! Page 102

Try the first post in the Collective Information/Questions thread.

I'm fine with the blue they chose, but the yellow just isn't my fancy. It just doesn't match the rest of the game too well.

hey i feel the same way, but don't press the CMT for updates, as teh lag said to me on AIM, AIM log from July 22(6:12:26 PM):Perhaps if people would stop whinign for updates we wouldn't feel so pressured and could update when we have good thing sto show.

so yea.

I'm not whining, although I really should stop bringing it up, but sometimes I feel as though my posts should have something to do with the subjct and sometims I don't post for that and I think I should edit to come to subject and I can't think of anything but "Any Updates?". Thank you Tru7h and I'm Sorry.

Hey AAA I answered your PM on my New Server Topic because it says that you have disable PMing. So when you see it click on the spoiler. It is the last post.

I accept your apology. also, i think that the blue-yellow-red light scheme is awesome. it really helps, i dont even have to look at the ammo counter to know that im almost out, because i can see the color out of the corner of my eye

yea that's useful, but i hardly ever look at my ammo counter anyways, normally i fire until my weapon clicks and just switch to me 2nd weapon, and whenever i'm not fighting, i instintively(however you spell that) reload all my weapons, thus keeping them at max amount of ammo possible.

No, it would slow it down because CMT's team members would be too busy eating crab cakes when they could be working.

In those pictures ive seen an SMG with silencer and without whats it gonna be SMG with silencer? without? or what 2 difrent ones? or did you figure out how to make it that you can take it on and off like certain Counter Strike weapons?

hahaaha! i have an answer for once. yes, i had this conversation with masterz. in some levels the smg will be silenced, some levels it will not. and in NO levels will the two both be in. HAHAHAAA.... i knew

that deserves some sexy +rep

anyways, the new screens look sexy, i like the beta 'watermark' thing. even though it serves little actual purpose... i dont think leaks have been a problem. build id entifacation is a cool thing, even though it doesnt effect the end result.

I'm going to get shot for saying this, but the MA5C looks... disapointing in game. If the top casing was the same color and shined the same as the old AR in the picture under 6/9/07, then it might be better. That's my two cents. I'm sure it'll look amazing in H2V though.

i like shiny too delta. but it just isnt halo 3

It's a custom map team for god sakes. It doesn't necessarily have to be Halo 3. Ignorance is like global warming...its everywhere and its happening right now.

Thank you, Sir. :_)

I agree CMT should polish up the AR with some silver like the AR in the MP maps.

I never said I wanted it to be like halo 3, where did you guys get that idea? I said I wanted it more like the AR in the picture under 6/9/07, in other words, I wanted it to at least match the quality as the one in the multiplayer maps.

And the numbers in the gun's LCD are a little too big. In every picture, the corners of the numbers are practically touching the outer outline. The LCD screen looks really cluttered right now.

You people are retarded. The one in the multiplayer map fails in comparison to this one. You people just like shiny chrome stupid spastic unrealistic shaders that make the gun look as though it's a mirror. That sort of shit just nulls out any detail.


After all my hard work making this awesome looking halo 3 AR's textures you wan't stupid spastic halo 1 AR with shitty shaders that makes the gun look as though it's made of silk/velvet?

awesome


*edit* omfg, you people are sillier than I thought. Look at what fucking level those shots were taken.

a50 aka NIGHT TIME. You can see him using the fucking flashlight ffs. Name 1 weapon that looks as good as it does in open light as it does under night radiosity with a flashlights light hitting it from the back.

god

Masterz, Lag, take pics of stuff on DAYLIGHT levels so people can properly see the shine of shaders and stuff. That level is just fucking gay. Try taking shots from my fav level, a30 - Halo, or something else in the light.

Also, AR's smoothing needs fixing around the screen and on the slider lever grip

Night.Time.blue.lighting.flashlight.for.fucks.sake

the actual fucking gun isn't blue, the gun is the exact same colour as the old AR, because they are both the same desaturated grey, god DAMMIT

I personally don't wan't the gun to look like a clean butterknife, but watever.

I don't care what you people think, that old CMT ar's shaders were shit and nulled out all detail, made it look constantly wet or greased up or made of velvet. Not even the halo 3 AR is like that. The halo 3 AR shows definition between what should and shouldn't shine.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the rock -_-

At least look into the numbers on the gun's LCD. The size should be decreased just a tidbit.

I think it's fine, considering that's the only function anyone uses.

I don't mean I want it to be decreased in size dramatically, just so that the 'corners' of the numbers aren't touching, or seem to be touching, the bright outer outline. Maybe 95%-97% of the size that it is now.

I honestly find it aesthetically pleasing that way; the larger it is, the better, as long as it isn't too cramped, which it isn't.

o wow, sigged

back on subject: i agree with delta, i think the numbers SHOULD be a bit smaller. also, dano is right, the friggin pics were taken on friggin T&R, the lighting sucks, and i hate silver weapons, it's retarded, it makes me think how if the stupid UNSC can afford to make weapons out of silver, then they could've gave me better shielding, armor, weapons, and other crap.

Ummm, the weapons aren't made out of silver you know, they're probably made of some metal we don't have yet.

Uh Silver? If it was silver it would shine like hell. Besides Silvers not exactly the first metal Id use to make guns yah know.

Could be usefull for hunting werewolves tough.

I like the new AR as it is now. It looks snug and comfy in the Chief's hands.

i know, but i meant you could cover the gun in silver though

And why would you do that? In plus, that doesn't mean that the gun is made of sliver.

Dear god guys, get on topic.

equal opinion, just less cursing and violent words

Will ther be added scratches/gashes to the weapon or are you going to leave it the way it is? (not that it's a problem)

When I come back from camp, I hoooooope this will be released.

Yea I'm going to camp too. This Sunday, I'm so excited!
And way to go to be nice and not say like this better be out or stuff like that.

i have no idea, same as why i have no idea why there are such things as guilded armor

We all do.:eyesroll:

for some reason I cannot see the second 7-23 update help please?

Try reloading the page. If that doesn't work, right-click on where the picture(s) should be and select "show picture."

Updated.

What is up with the flare? Its tiny.

You need to update the title, Masterz. It still says 7/23.

=o http://www.cmt.h2vista.net/videos/cmta10clip.wmv

Had to, sorry about the sound.

What did you shoot to make all the glowing cobalt blood come out? 0.o

What video card does your uber sexy new computer have by the way, masterz?

8800GTX

*cuts myself in the wrist for wasting all my cash on 360.....

Oh well, I don't even think I can fit an 8800 in my PC anyway, nor is my power supply large enough...

Anyways, from the new video, I can finally see the reflection maps on the AR (or whatever you guys call it for HaloCE) Sorry if I was a little skeptical in the other thread, I've been playing CSS with highpoly reskins lately with full HDR, AA, Antistropic, basically the works and that tends to raise my expectations. I always seem to forget that Halo is running on an out of date engine....

Ah, that video explains a lot. The final build will use CAD's animations (at least origins and reload), right?

Btw, Plasma Pistol overcharge projectile is dead sexy.

It sure is, it sure is....and YES! The AR's reload is actually awesome now. The one in the Multi maps looked like it...didn't hurt.:beating:

Nice. Muzzle flash needs to be bigger though, and the "muzzle brake" effect is all over the place. Kinda like Counter Strike. It's not physically possible.

The video said the AR fire effect was not done.

That's really beautiful.

but... it's only the 28th!

HA your right why does it say the 29th??

The AR looks beautiful. NICE JOB!!!!!!!! Downloading movie now...
EDIT: You guys added spike nades?? AWESOME! I love the vid. If anyone is confused about what I'm talking about, look at the nade section of the HUD and you see a familiar shape. It also seems that Grunts can now charge thier plasma pistols...

^dude they added the spike nades around 2-3 weeks ago, if you havent noticed that thread with the weird name to it...

I think the first pic under 7/29/07 has a broken link.

So, when do we get to see brutes and mark III's?

Masterz, is your video card the Geforce 8600 GTS?
Anyways, the Vid was sexy, even though it had no sound. The plasma pistol overcharge projectile was l337. I know you guys are fixing the Assault Rifle still. The rest looks great, unless it was only your video card that made it great. I wonder if i'll get gray blobs of everything on my ATI 9250.:rolleyes:

Masterz has a 8800GTX

masterz needs to work on his pistol aiming =p

That looks very good, I hope that it will run well on my outdated computer...

If you guys want, I can hook you up with the full version of Fraps in exchange for a campaign map or two... ;)

just wait it out jay

You're pathetic.

I would give them it for free... Suck up xD
EDIT: Are those bump maps HDoan sees? Those particles are awesome

Lol I like waiting better because the suspense makes it all that much better!

Also, if the bolt automatically opens with every shot fired, wouldn't it lock into the catch?

Not necessarily. It depends on how the catch on the weapon works. Usually there is some mechanical device that triggers when the last round leaves the chamber.

muhahah now I know the AR's multi works!

That is also very beautiful. Not you Dano, the AR!

I don't like the little bump bit on the new hud (above the nade icons). keep it flat IMO

I wrote the end as D:) but it stuck the :) as a smiley...

I would like to see a Brute dedicated video, showing various scenes fighting Brutes. I'm not trying to force you guys, but I think everyone would appreciate a Brute vid. Is it possible to fix the way the marines leave the passenger seats of a tank? In the original Halo, they got off the tank a few seconds after you did, but in Spv1, they never get off. In SPv2, can you make sure that they get off the way they used to in the original? It can sometimes be a pain to fight 30 Covenant with 4 Marines....

Especially if Johnson has a sniper rifle, and 2 of my marines happen to be Spartans with chainguns. It's REALLY difficult to get through the covenant that way....lol it was easy as pie.

Great job with the Assault Rifle! To me, though, the muzzle flash seems a bit too small, even compared to the H3 Beta.

The video also had no sound, so I'm wondering if you changed the AR sounds to H3 style?

The muzzle flash isn't finished.

Fixed that for ya'.

oook me and halo king are going to make a analysis of the video(based on all that we currently know) of everything that we've saw, that way, everyone wouldn't be asking so many friggin questions, mmmk? mmmk. it'll take a day or so, but for now, here are some comments of my own: ok 1) great job masterz, you took my advice when i asked to change the AR's tracers, iono if me asking really helped or not, but meh. 2) what difficulty was that played on anyways?.....it didn't look that hard to kill the elites, but masterz seemed to have some difficulty with it...... 3) the animations for the AR should be half a sec, or maybe even a full sec faster

Questions:
-Now that Zteam has acquired the source scripts for the campaign, will CMT play around with weapon customization (screw silencer onto SMG, attatch grenade launcher to BR) as was originally planned for Halo 2 Vista before the H2EK was found to be locked to most features? Or will time constraints and ammunition compatibility issues keep this barred out? Since it's not multiplayer, there shouldn't be any bugs that would aggravate gameplay.

-What is the status on the custom campaign level unveiled in the Christmas update?

First: you're going to do an analysis of a minute-long clip? What will you find that we don't know for ourselves?
Second: I didn't see any tracers, what do you mean?
Third: none of the AR's animation look like they're a full second long to begin with. Do you mean make the reload take longer?
The final reload will probably look more like this anyway.

Hes gonna make an analyisis for some of the more unfortunate. You know, the legally blind.

oook update, er......i heard that masterz is gonna make a bigger video, but that's just another rumor, not even sure if it's true, needs confirmation. Sides, this is just like haloking's thread of collective info, but this time in video form and it might keep the newcomers quiet, don't want too much spam here. and er......i don't really know, i'm bored, no one really interesting to play with on the MP maps, and yea, i'm stuck here at my dad's house with nothing else to do for another week, all my friend are 40 miles away from here =*(

and er....i've already saw that dole, CAD showed it to me a couple weeks ago. anyways, the reload doesnt look fast enough, you'd think the MC would TRY and reload faster with a whole army of covie and flood on his ass, but yea, whatever.
