its not supposed to be under wraps...

I just can't wait for them. UGH I want them NOW!

I wonder which campaign will be better, CMT's or Z-team's.

Zteam has scriptz! **angry fist**

Aw, Halo is dusty and not green any more :'(

Really now? Seeing as how zteam doesn't have their own forums on H2Vista, I wouldn't know where to check out on the progress.... (or maybe I'm just retarded and can't find it). The only thing I see of zteam's is the Coag/Sanc thread. I wonder when those'll be upgraded. My first opinion for both maps was that the lighting/overall color was way off. One can dream though.....

Yea and the BR fires too slowly, and the shieldings are set too high, way too hard to kill someone, even if they're standing still. Plus, the sword's lunge doesn't work right.

ok, no one else going to say it? i will


UPDATE ON PAGE 1

(lol)

but im wondering, whats up with this pic? the ground seems higher, the pyramid is therefore less of a climb... whats the deal? also not likin the texture to much

[SHOT] Tags please?

oh... doy ok

What do you mean climb up the pyramid? You just grab the banshee on the bridge and fly to the entrance at the top of the pyramid.

On Assault on the Control Room, you can get to the banshee before the major elite does or keep on going through the rooms and reach the canyon floor and fight on foot. The fuel rod cannon explosion looks nice.

I'll need to upgrade my internet connection if I wanna download this :v

Looks good, but I don't think the rocket 'Hog is a good idea, unless the Marines can actually hit the Banshee with it.

Woah, Halo looks like its located in a desert. I liiiiiiike.

It reminds me of a few levels from Brute Force.

Funny, this level isn't. <_<

[edit] Oh, I didn't see the whole update. Thought you meant the one picture.

agree

gausshog maybe?

homing rockets maybe?

also, everything looks gross. that hog looks gross. all those metal things are descustingly shiney.
and a desert halo? DO NOT WANT.

if you must have a dry theme (with a river running down it >_>) then make it look like sand dunes.
something immure2 ish.

sincerly hope not

Replace all rocket hogs with gauss hogs. That'll be a dream come true... In SPv1 the rocket hog used that gauss hog model anyway, which pissed me off.

EDIT: Damnum the cliffside coloring for A30 looks so much better. The SPv1 A30 coloring looked like a level from Counter Strike: Deleted Scenes, and graphics from that game gives me nightmares. The cliffside in the last pic looks low-res/throw-up like, as opposed to all the other pictures that look decent. I'm also liking AotC, but it doesn't look summer-like to me. No matter.

EDIT2: Just noticed the ammo counter for the Spartan laser, and how it is left at 40. Will there be more than 4 shots? It's probably going to be 5, but I'm crossing my fingers for 10.

and make the hog look good.
get dano to modify his super special awesome yoyorast hog skin.

Rocket Hogs are more exciting. All 3 are in the mod though.

more exciting if your a noob that camps at portals... oh well this is for sp. but at least give it limited ammo. a real hog ... HOG can make so much use of a rocket hog its sickening

I hope the gauss hog was implemented into the game more than just ONCE.

Pic 1: Textures dont really match.....I'm not liking so much. But its not up to me.

Pic 2: Geh...whats with it? Is it a desert texture? Maybe some desert foliage?

Pic 3: The textures on the hog arent sexy anymore....the tire treds are sex "c" though.

Pic 4: Augh....tis hideous...Textures match in no way at all....hope thats not final. And that fellow earlier meant that he thought he could expect something more from CMT to make...say...guns not unsightly floating haplessly.

Not too satisfied by this one but still excited....wanna hear more on ZTeams but I guess thats a whole different ball game.

Now i gotta ask this, will hunter health be changed in this version because the health was to much in V1 like 2 clips or more from br? 2 and 1/2 from smg

tbh, rocket hogs are only good for their stopping power. defending a base, i just camp in the turrent and nuke anyone who tries to charge in on hogs. (against infentry I loose). attacking a base, i just nuke anyone trying to hide around battlements. in between bases, they loose to heavies/stickies/clever people/chain hogs (good driver)/ghosts.

but really, fix the skins :sick:

Textures=Fail.
I expected better from CMT. No blending at ALL.

What the fuck have you done to the Halo campaign?

^^

actually, the default rkt hog skin is better than that.

Those metal shaders are abominations. not only do those lines look horribly out of place, but the white splotches just look odd. I thought you said to me those were placeholders...

IAWTP. Please change that, Masters.

..........WTF did you do to the poor hog?

Looks like the hog from the mp maps to me. :confused2:

agree

So I wasn't the only one unsatisfied about this update?

the line-up between the crosshair and the AR hurts my soul :saddowns:

Very orgasm stunting.....dont like the line up.....you can let the h3 attempt slide on this one eh?

oh and the invisible magnuem thing, it says: you picked up an M06 magnuem

Lol magnum.*

Invisible Magnuem? Do you mean the V1 Hunter Beam Cannon?

I was wondering if you were making any consideration in making the Grunts look more like they do in Halo 3. They look tougher and meaner.

I tis the exact same shaders as the MP maps. The metal shaders are the same ones as in the TSC pic, I'll go back and tweek them a bit. I'ts also the exact same shader as in that b40 pic.

Also are you taking off flood sheilds?

and I like the idea of Brutes having alot of health, more fun shooting them with the weak bullet using guns.

SMG is fine as the multiplayer one

Will the rifle grenade be like the first one? or the multiplayer one?

I feel like typing today.

AAA
How do you propose they make them look scarier and meaner and tougher? They look the same with better graphics in H3...their no different...you can just see their muffed-up-looking-ness better. (can I say the f* word please...I'm tired of using alternatives)

flyinrooster
Do the shots shoot where the reticle is or where the barrel is....or are you lowering the reticle? I really don't wanna just "get used to it." The attitude of "well its muffed up but you'll get used to it cranked out the unborn sperm child that goes by the name of SPv1

Masterz1337
You are probably right about the hog...maybe its the screenie? And I did notice it was the same ones in TSC but it looks better there because its dark. Here it doesent match with the amount of light and the texture of the ground.

hailstorm65
Love the new flood btw, but had never heard of giving them shields....and maybe (I know its too late but w/e) a flood jackal.

I love hunter fights and would love the brutes to have the same greeat feel when fighting them. The feeling of OH FUCK YESH I JUST OWND 7. BRUTES!!!

Love the CMT SMG (I know its the same as h2 but its better to me.) Its so fun to shoot then melee with because its like a slap because its so thin.

I hope the BRG is the same as the one on tension..er..tensity. I love the hell out of it and its the only thing that makes me pick it up over the pistol.
Boo at the first BRG. I hated it and it was ugly. YAY for wiggly contrail. The other one confused me because it looked kind of like the reticle of the brute shot except with a BANG at the bottom.

Swearing has never been something that we don't like. Swear as you please. Just don't do it as though you were a 12 year old who just learned his first swears.

Flood don't like jackels. Their bones contain less calcium because their hollow. And I don't see the difference between Tensity BRGs vs the other ones.

TY, and I'm not excessive in anything I do so don't worry. If I could i would have only said it twice in my previous post.

:O about the jackals. The wise man learns something new everyday.

And I need to start being more clear what I mean:
I meant in all the v2 maps but out of all the maps I rather Tensity because its a funner map. I was just saying that I liked it because its great on Tensity. Sorry, my mistake.

Well its no doubt gonna be like in the MP maps. What did you expect? They got back to the SPv1 BRG?

WaRRen, I'm not saying to get used to it, I'm saying you will, almost right away. And it shoots toward the reticle.

No, I didnt, I was replying to hailstorm65.

Well the thing for the brutes for me is that I just get a fun rush pumping bullets into something, the more the merrier. As i saw on a promo, somebody shooting a brute with an smg i though WOW! that would be fun. even with a carbine i would love it. Lol i just love shooting brutes:lol:

i hated halo 2 brutes, so easy to kill with the carbine. im glad cmt's are going to be different

The AR is perfect the way it is, cept for the un-antialiased jagged edge near the front.

edit: there that might make more sense, you picky peter's

How are you doing today? Would you like to go to McDonald's and have breakfast? Then afterwards watch TV and not work on making Halo's engine better?.....SURE!

I'm sorry, does he owe you something?

Sarcasm can hurt sometimes.

Does who owe what?

?

The engine and the editing kit are two completely different things.

Fixed. Text is so unforgiving.

How will Lightning make HCE's engine perform better? It's illegal to tamper with the game's source code, it's in the EULA.

http://cmt.h2vista.net/promotionalit...7-00-18-81.jpg

Why the hell all the trees are in the same position. Nice skybox also.

But nobody has to know that the source code has been tampered with, do they? And the main thing they mean there is that it's illegal to tamper with the source code and then resell the product as your own. If you tamper with it for personal use, there's not much that you can be in trouble for.

Lightning can't edit the source code, and no one but bungie HAS the source code.

A while back, someone at Halomaps got a new engine working for CE, but the Bungie Ninjas came and gave him a C&D. He wasn't going to make any profit, he just wanted a new engine capable of handling better graphics and a new netcode capable of syncing AI and such over the net.

textures look shit, shaders look shit and the desert theme is totally monotoned

whoah you mean e3po? and what'd they do to him?

it does kind of look a tad bland. needs moar cowbell.

Just add in a random Taco Bell and it'll be perfect.

spice it up a bit, add some cool sand patterns and shit.

>_>

*sigh*

Fine, Del Taco then....What is it with Dano and his Del Taco?

I like both

IAWTP.
don't try and change it, put it back the way it fucking was.

in the new pictures the a30 structures almost look cell shaded. are they? or is that just a shiny reflection map?

Dane, maybe someone (you?) could re-texture the ground to be more like the beach in this pic: http://www.bungie.net/images/News/In...ronment-08.jpg

Im not sure if its a beefed-up normal map or if its the actual texture causing those shadows, but im sure you could make it look good, right?

Don't forget, these are still the beta builds that the pictures are coming from. However, the sand texture looks very similar to the texture of the rocks, it's hard to tell the difference. And also, I think they're trying to go for a "battle-scarred" look with some of the textures. If that's the case, that last one looks great. (the one of the first structure you find in the a50 level.)

refferring to halokings post, that is exactly how the sand should be in my opinion. as for elrich, think about it, how battlescarred could halo possibly be? its been void of animal life for how many thousands of years?

Halo has not been devoide of life at all. Indiginous species are still on halo, along with the flood. And as you've said, they are thousands of years old, so the structures will still erode under weather. The buildings won't be battlescarred, but they will be scarred. personally, I don't know why there's all this fuss. I think both levels look great.

...thats because your blind...

The "sand" textures make me want to throw up. Also, about that building:
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...on-the-run.jpg
Make the sand look more like Last Resort, and use textures similar to Delta Halo so people don't choke on their own vomit.
Assault Rifle looks nice, though.

I remember someone posting this like a year ago, but at the time you didn't know how to get it to apply the needles only when the melee made contact. After more experience with tagging weapons in CE, would you say that you would be able to accomplish this at this point?

well that was random but interesting

It's the new LOLcat, LOLgrunt. Of course it's random and interesting!

When I said "battle scarred," I meant that they might show a few signs (though not many, because they would have been eroded as Delta said) of the Forerunners'
battle(s) with the Flood after they broke loose. After all, the building could be either the security structure or the map room. If it's the security structure, they may have been attempting to lock the Flood in the map room and then contain the amount that were still outside.

Yes it was E3pO. All they really did was make him cancel his project. But it was going to be so awesome. I feel bad for him all the work for nothing.

It would have been fabulous.

Links to this e3p0 dude please?

Hes lurking around halomaps somewhere.

dude that looks sweet i hope it comes out soon:XD:

Topic on the new engine
His profile on halomaps.org
Direct link to his website:http://wmclan.net/

Hope this helps you out! :D

I don't believe him.

e3po knows his shit. give him a little more credit

Until he shows proof I don't believe him.

He did have a video of it ounce. Though it didn't show much besides his horrendously skinned warthog......
