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

So, if we do something based on something we saw, it's a error, and if we replicate it, it's not custom? Good Grief.

I like the differences. It shows that there actually WAS some difference in the architecture of the different Halos. (compare the doors in the library/control room of both Alpha and Delta Halos, for example). And you're comparing the floor of a room to the surface of an extension bridge. We don't even know where said room is located in the Halo universe.

And I think it's a good job, seeing as CMT's gone off of mere pictures and a few weapon descriptions, and created the models/bitmaps. (The fuel rod gun on the spec-ops hunter could use a re-skinning, though. It looks out of place compared to the rest of it, imo.)

Oh snap I just saw this in pic 5, is that grunt by the tree charging the PP for an over charge shot?

Yes, i believe so.

Hrm.. Does that mean there is more adjustments being made to the Artificial Intelligence this time around? If so, what would they be? :P
Either way, keep up the great work!

Ummmm, from what i know, there redoing most of the AI because there adding new bipeds, i.e. Brutes, New hunters, different classes of half of the characters, S-III's, and a few others. So it would only make sense.

Sounds great, pick up the info little by little through forums?
One thing that I disliked about v1 was that they replaced almost all marine allies with the spartan bipeds which seemed to fire massive amounts of grenades. I liked the fact that my allies were no longer completely useless, but I missed the 'personality' of the marine allies (dialogue and different AI actions).
In one of the screens (Silent cartographer) I see marines are back, do you think we can expect AI improvements for them, such as improving their firing rate with the AR (3 bullet bursts just never did cut it)?

your bitmap fails.

no, the bump map does. It is now fixed anyway.


Also, I think I might fix the halo 1 hi res because I was learning when I made that thing, so it's got some errors. I'll fix it and see if yas like it betterer. Basically, it was too bright and dark in different places, like Zeph showed in that picture.

The hi-res skins being redone.

is the mod still on track for its late may release, not meaning to annoy anyone, but late may is right around the corner

No, it's not.

Stuff's still being finalized/edited, like the Spartan III's. (unless Masterz's avatar is now an obselete model.) I don't mind the delay, since it means that SPv2 will be that much better when it IS released. My guess would be around June 25, tbh.

DAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNN. Sweet vid, even though its not even done yet. Although 1:46 had me questioning the brutes:confused:.

looks nice, work on the brute pouding on chest anim.

Those Brute animations look even sillier than the picture of the one that has Autism on the first page. :saddowns:

They don't look hunched over enough, and they look mighty skinny for Brutes.

i saw that, it looks cool. i didnt like the dramatic sword elite kills, they reeked of fake-ness.

but the first put of the video was awesome, great angles. i liked it, the last part while in the hud sucked movie-wise, but gameplay looked ok.

The animations for the Brutes look really silly. Also your FPS was pretty sad. Snow T&R looks better than I thought it would though.

when is the specific date does spv2 comes out. I know its very soon but what date.

I see the SIII's are still being witheld. Can't wait. :)

the SIII looks too ugly. textures are below meh, looks too much like stock. and lots of lag, looks unplayable on my computer.

I see the energy sword still gets destroyed when the elite dies. Will we be able to wield the sword?

Which they don't. The sword is a snipers nightmare in Halo 2. In halo 1 it's about as useful as a rock.

they do and plus it looks awesome when they just disappear like that.!!!!!!!!!

offtopic: i think once when i killed an elite who had a sword on T&R, i was really close to the sword, that it drained my shield by like 15%.

I'm here because CMT is cool and their maps as like the team.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! I was really hoping for the sword to be in it, but u guys are the experta. And the team that made this. So I shouldn't complain. Its awesome enough already : )

Yes, it is. But hopefully it isn't going to be as laggy as it was in the video. (or is that my graphics again?)

this looks good so far, i dont know why people rag on CMT all the time. pisses me off. people say things like "wll CMT's blah blah blah sucks arse" well id like to see anyone else do better with entirely customized material. ok ranting and flaming aside, im looking foreward to this, more then H2V even. only one thing that i wish would change: the biped from the original is cartoony. not an immense problem because frankly, i dont have to look at it. i AM it.

im glad the energy sword aint gonna be wieldable, in H1 it is crap, and no modder can change that.

the brutes look good to me, im aware that the things i saw in the beta film were BETA so im sure theyll come along, but they are an entirely custom biped... so theres that. im glad you decided not to add the drones in too i frickin hate them, boring to fight. just one question: covenant carbine, yes or no?

+rep for that wonderful speach!!!!!!!

Trailer was awesome.

And 1:55 to 1:59 was the single most exciting moment of my life.

only sux on online play, due to syncing issues, with the lunge. It could be almost perfected on halo 1 SP

does everyone here wish to repeatedly argue retarded points? halo 1 isnt designed for energy sword use. the weapon itself may work perfectly but its not going to integrate well into gameplay. what i want to know though, is if my favorite gun (covie carbine) is going to be in it?

We have a human carbine, so there's no use for there to be a covie one.

No, it couldn't. We've tried a number of times.

bummer. the human carbine is good, but it fires differently from its covenant counterpart, so i figured that the covie carbine might be implimented in SP as well. unless you altered the Human carbine from the MP maps

well you got the lunge and melee, thats all you really need.

YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FULLY LUNGE IN H1!!!!

NO FUCKING SWORDS

i agree

and ironclad i like the covie carbine too and the human one to me is nothing like the covie one. idk it just doesnt have that umph to it.

The human one is great at mid- to close range, I don't think it was intended to be a distance weapon. And it's an assault carbine, unlike the covie one. If it's the covie carbine you want, wait until H2Vista comes out, I'm sure CMT will do a custom carbine then. (and make it look better than Halo 3's :D )

screw vista. im never going to get it. hopefully CMT will have mercy and convert the H2 legit stuff into CE form so we can play with it. if at all possible

thats what the z-team is for...

but maybe CMT will do campaign. thats what i mean. Z team doesnt customize as much as cmt, thats why i would rather CMT do it

except like, about half of cmt's animations and stuff is mine :rolleyes:

Most of ZMT is on CMT as well...

ZMT is just as capable and good as CMT.

the stuff they do always looks good but i like the custom aspect of CMT. i dont know a lot of Z maps, but CMT always seems to have weapons and gameplay that are often more fun then what bungie does

My point was that most of our resources and members are shared, so there isn't much of a skill difference, which is what I thought you implied initially.

We're working on something custom; it's in the concept stage right now though.

oh i see, ill check it out. didnt mean to belittle Zteams skills

Just because it says carbine in the name, does not put it in the 'carbine' box. the MA5K is very different from the Covie Carbine, extremely different.

half the clip, a scope, semi auto. there is not much that is similar.

its a-ok that u dont want to make a carbine, just dont act like the MA5K is a replacement for the covie carbine

saying screw vista would put u in the same position 3 years from now as it would be to still running 98 now. u have to upgrade sometime, especially if u play games.

if i upgrade to vista, itll be when its fully updated and DOESNT suck. plus you gotta stop telling people what to do

I just want to say that, according to the books, the MA5K is a Assault Rifle, and not a carbine, but it doesn't really matter if CMT decided to change it a bit from what it was in the book. I noticed that in the video, from 1:44 to 1:48, the brutes seem to have a tail-like thing on the back. Is this just a bug or is it supposed to be there?

It is the pole for the flag that is going to be on the higher ranking brutes' backs.

Then why does it move around like a tail?

we removed it a while ago. It was just something left over that I didn't remove.

lol i think it shouldve stayed in showing the Custom part of the brute biped.

so, was the brute made from total scratch or did you rip it and give it a new model?

cmt never rips models, they make it thats why they are Custom Map Team

dang... thats impressive that they made a biped all of their own. and people are giving them shit about it being "silly". looks damn good to me

i can't wait to use the Spartan Laser to cut down Brutes and the new Hunters!
BTW, if there was a tail, i think i noticed it then forgotten about it. But how long does it take for a brute to react to fight? Cuz they have to bang their chests, wiggle around, and then fight?

hehe. Brutes with tails.

ya, thats a new thing! :lol: could we get an update on the progress of the CMT SPv2?

We got one two days ago. It's not like CMT does daily updates, not even Bungie does that.

heheh i love it. by the time their ready for battle their dead

You should give elites tails. <_<;

anyone notice there are ZERO female covenants? never drop the soap ANYWHERE on high charity

I don't think the females fight, and I believe there was mention of one or two in the books. Apparently they're "just for breeding".

just like the really old times.

On topic, update first page.

That Energy Sword is sexy...seriously. The Elites look a bit different, but it might be just me. This seems to be coming along quite well, the release of it seems really near.

Wow, to think how far they've come is just awesome. Im glad you updated the page, this thread was starting to get moldy.

Ive been lurking this forum now for a while. One thing I have to say about the single player maps from CMT is that they are awesome! I have been enjoying them more than the original campaign for HaloPC. Also, Im pretty stoked about what your coming up with for the v2. The teaser looked great from my point of view. Im not a mapper, or modder, or anything else. But what I see is really good stuff. I think the only thing that I could want for the single player maps is some kind of coop. People I know that do mods and maps for halo say its either impossible, or impractical. Honestly, I dont know, just my 2 cents worth. Thank you for the effort you guys are putting into this.

Yea, there really setting the standard for what a good halo mod is. As far as a coop mod, i think you would have to convert the map into a MP map, and re-do a bunch of the netcode and stuff. Basically, it takes more time than its worth. But with H2vista, there's probably gonna be online coop(*crosss fingers*). Never know.

wow looks sweet. oh, and sorry for my offtopic insurrection

I've been reading this thread for a long time and all I can say is... keep up the good work. I can't wait to fight the brutes and to test all the weapons+stuff you guys made. I appreciate your commitment to this cause and hope I can join you all in H2V. Thanks again.
P.S. I'm not exactly sure when the release of SPv2 is, so can some one tell me? I've been dying to know
P.S.S. Hey Mastercheifloser, did you leave Red Army? Just wondering.
Thanks again. :)

the jackal plasma rifle looks so bitchin. i cant wait to use it, i know its weak in power, but dang if it has the speed i think it has, plus the stunning abilities of the other two rifles... ownage. before someone tells me that im sofa king wee todd edd, i did read about it, and how its power is toned down immensly from the other two.

Yea, the Jackal plasma rifle is a cool touch to the covie lineup. I wonder what cool features/abilities it has. Burn damage anyone:D(i was kidding about that guys....)?

I'm wondering about that too. I could almost swear I saw one in Spv1, but now I think I was hallucinating. The burn damage should be relatively low since it is mentioned in the Field Guide. It has a high rate of fire, so it should make up for the damage.

Yea, im pretty sure you were hallucinating. I CANT FRIGGIN WAIT! The new SP is so close, but so far....
