I retain 60-70 FPS at that spot, on a 9600xt, AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2.0 GHZ, 512 MB ram, 800x600 res. Now, considering many gamers have much higher specs than what I have, Halo should be able to pump out amazing FPS on work that is higher quality than what is shown in that screenshot. There is high use of shaders, VERY high use. The level itself is well portalled. Dynamic lights in many places.

What IS limited, is what we can do with the engine itself in terms of customizing it. We are locked to the shader types that are given to us, and the scripting code that is given to us.

I'd say this is one of the things that's pushing the limits. It's looking so awesome, and I still can only just believe Halo can do this.


Also, Singleplayer Maps For The Win.

snaf where have you been we has work to do <:mad:>

there are limits in some aspects and hardly any in others. model wise we can put a shit load into the game. functions, animations, and other things we're a bit limited.

Yea, seriously. What's with all the random questions? I feel like were in a discussion group and 50‡&#200;j"ˆŒ&#229;p or whats-his-face is the leader asking us about the game.

For those who don't know, if Madworkz fails to talk to Yoyo, then Yoyorast Island gets my ATV, which is just a mod of KiLLa's.
I never use Yoyorast Island V1's ATVs. I see them, but I hardly ever use them. They're too easy to flip.

Well I still have to test it Jay.. but ye in the case Madworkz doesn't answer (great chances), If yours meets the quality and requirments I asked you, it will defently be in V2.. otherwise the last option is to have no ATV..:(

and about the limit of thez engine.. Baturkin told me he put a 50000 polygons model ingame.. with no portal.. it was working fine.. so I don't know why our beta has this clipping problem with 20000..
