I have an I don't care get back on topic. I want to see some of the Covenant maps redone. Chill Out and Damnation would be awesome with redone lighting and modeling. I just wish I had enough skill to even play a part in this.

I can't imagine Damnation differently, it would be nice to see different one.
They aren't making anything different, just in greater detail.
However, I had a remake of Damnation planned, but could never really get into it other than the basic 3d layout. I couldn't get a good theme to work for it that would account for the layout's oddities (the horizontal beams leading to the sniper ridge, the double-backing setup of the upper base, etc.) so I'm not bothering with it for a while. Once I can competently model terrain, I will, however, make a Chill Out remake which will have a very concise and logical (if you can call Forerunner architecture logical) theme.
I LOVE YOU FOR THE PISTOL TO BATTLE RIFLE THINGY YOU JUST DID THAR HAVE MEIN BABIES.
Sexy shit there son... revamped New Mombasa is sex

The burst fire always annoyed me, plus what rifle shoots only in burst mode, I mean wtf? (I bet there is a gun that does this and some gun knowledgeable person is gonna yell at me, but still its a dumb idea anyway).
I hardly ever used that horrid weapon in halo 2... the covi carbine was my fav rifle, aside from the sniper rifle.
Also about gfx cards.. ATI Radeon 9700 TX ftw :D
I need an upgrade... my system won't even run XP SP2. I have some sort of incompatibility problem with it that I can't solve.
Wave, I HIGHLY recommend against using any "Halo 2" weapons. Keep it Halo. No Battle Rifle. No weapon and statistic changes. It's a graphical improvement to how the game looks and interacts. At best, simply just improve upon the animations and the feel. The Bungie-Style has been proven to work.
It turns gamers away when a change is made that reflects upon gameplay in a negative way. Battle Rifle combat in Halo 1 has not been proven effective enough to retain the value of the original game. The Pistol has been, and will probably still be, the greatest weapon in the entire game!
Even if the model is to be changed, I believe it should not. Simply upgrade the Pistol Model and Animation! Keep it idea exactly the same.
That's what it's going to be. It's just a graphical update. The model for the pistol is going to be replaced with a BR.Quote:

but i like the br :(
Agreed, keep the pistol :rape:Quote:

yay, br is ugly/shitty.
yay!
im thinking of giving the pistol a magnum-esque remodel with a slightly longer barrel and scope. It'll look sweet, fo sho.
Anyways, hog update.

So, basically the M6J Carbine, as I suggested before. Also, hog looks hawt. All it needs is a driver seat... and a steering wheel... and a passenger seat... and a dashboard... and... lulz.Quote:

also, yes on the pistol, minus the stock. That would look funkay with the chief.
Awesome gun is awesome. :awesome:
I like it a lot, it looks great.
M6J without a stock would make since, seeing that stocks can be easily removed for storage purposes, and Spartans are capable of wielding other extremely high caliber weapons without any major recoil problems. Other than that damn SMG. Seriously, what the fuck is up with that? You can effortlessly flip a tank and easily haul a god-knows-how-many megaton bomb, but the popcorn-maker-gun still has upwards recoil.
bungie took the "its a game" motif too far, if you ask me.
Can't wait to see that badass hog skinned :-D
my god, it will be epic.
So why does the hog only have 2 barrels on the chain gun?
Edit: Nvm it's not the regular spinning chain gun.
because i felt like mounting two futuristic M2's on it? It looked a lot more badass than the revolving turret, i checked.
Lol, ok. It does look better, but I still kinda miss the revolving turret spewing bullets everywhere. :(Quote:

Well, maybe I'm a blind fool, but I'm not quite sure I understand what this is :confused2:. I think what I've understood from the post is that your putting halo maps and other content on different game engines and in higher quality?
cars usually arent boxes, you know.Quote:

i already said it, ima change the turret back D:
What about an M61? It's a rotary cannon, and modern. :-3Quote:

Before judging by a lack of properly rendered screenshots with all the textures applied, it should be judged until it is textured and in-game. Keeping that in mind, I think those renders should not have been shown until it reached that stage.
sunny, i like to show updates to the model to see if people liked how it turned out, before i uv and texture it. It helps make everybody happy. And with that said, i redid the barrel. Take a peek.
Only thing I can say is maybe make the tip piece a little larger, but thats just personal preference.
Great work!
The hooks seem off, just the shape I think, they don't look like you could hook anything up to them.
Edit: And where are the lights on top of the windshield, srsly, that's like a key part of the hog.
Edit 2: and maybe the intake fans on the hood of it too, that would be cool.
Edit 3: Meh, keep finding things, just little stuff, I know you're going for an original look, just some things that you might be able to add. Some of it could be covered by textures (like on the wheels) but I really think it would be cool to have the vent/intake in the hood.

uhh, yea i wasnt done. Don't worry, i knew i hadnt modeled the front vents or the foglights. It will come...don't have an aneurism...
Ok, lol, just ideas.Quote:

Looking awesome. I hope you're planning on doing mental ray lightmaps. :-3
Nice job.
tried that, didnt look better. Only the mid-disc.Quote:

Most impressive WoL. I'm really loving that hog. Like boba suggested before, why not replace the banshee with the kestrel. Re-design the kestrel from scratch but keep the frame similar to the original concept. I would certainly love to see a High-res kestrel from you.
I'd rather see a high res, redesigned banshee tbh.
I hate you. I hate you I hate you I hate you. :( . This is rediculously fantastic, I just opened this thread for the first time and I'm blown away. Holy shit man. I fucking love all of it, I haven't read a thing, just looked at pictures, will read later.
I can agree, and the hog looks sick.Quote:

After i finish some bridge CE work (and the HRH biped), it will be the scorpion.

Anyway, looks great. Are you doing the cheif aswell? Has someone started on him?
Fuck I can't wait to see what you do with that man.Quote:

I hope I'm not out of line by saying that I think you may have made an overstatement with the Crysis comment...
But this does look like its gonna be a Great idea....
But my question is....how many people are gonna play this because there computers might not be able to handle it.
Hell, half the people I know cant play Halo CE straight off the bat....
So again....how often or how long do you think this is gonna be hosted for?
But indeed, this makes me harder than a diamond in an ice storm! Sry, stupid reference from a crappy movie
I imagine they're gonna stress the Halo engine to it's max, so it wouldn't surprise me if it reached almost Crysis level of detail.
I think you may be underestimating Crysis....
But maybe I'm overestimating Crysis....
Or underestimating this Mod....
Either way....its gonna be great.
And also...if you do New Mombasa, make it a map we'll wanna play....I hated the first one with a passion....
Perhaps make it smaller ( I know your not doing anything of that sort but for that map I think it may be necessary...)
Thanks for reading the first post and understanding the fact that im not changing any gameplay.
UPDATE: Since i knew i wasnt gonna be changing anything to the roads, i uv'd and textured em, complete with diffuse/bump/spec.

WoL, dont be a pissant, sit back and let me suck your E penis.
Nice. Looks really good so far WoL. Looking forward to seeing this completed. +rep
Damn...that looks nice! I like them more than the original ones, which I guess you could say looked Cell Shaded?
Anyways...E fellatio or not....that is awesome :D
No baby skulls? :(
Wow I really like that road texture
Your roads aren't British enough. And what's with the grooves at the intersection?
AAH! another question....your not gonna do that ridiculous spraypaint thing are you?
Because I know its not in your list but just hoping not.
they're there, just beat into a mush and mixed with the cement.Quote:

New Mombasa is a major port city and industrial center, located in the East African Protectorate on Earth.....
Africa + Future = Any Goddamn road imaginable ^-^
We could have freakin' Rainbow Roads for all we know...but I guess he decided to go for halo theme...since this is halo I think...not Brittan....lol.
How big is the gbxmodel tag for the hog?
Have you thought about the tag space limits?
doesnt tool pro work if you only have 1 bsp?
British roads are poop. Roads look fine WoL, but a bit concreteyQuote:

IIRC that will make it exception on loading. I only use tool_pro when finding out which bsp in the sp map has to many tags. And tool_pro can bypass UI restrictions.Quote:

Right side came first :D
Anyways...Still looks great! Are you going to be doing anything "scripty", or is that too impactive on gameplay?
i never saw a sign in NMC with your guys name on it anywhere, and i would know seeing as how i probably spent a months worth of time playing that map. Ingame.Quote:

Acctualy, many roads have patterns in them from when they put sensors for traffic lights in there. It makes sense for future roads to have similar sensors but more conplex resulting in patterns like that.
Either way, I think it looks fine.
Yes, but the weight sensors are located where the cars are intended to stop at, not in the middle of the intersections. WoL, kill the indentations. Asphalt roads are not modular, they're a continuous plane.
Oh quit nit picking.
You don't know if a large section of the road is intended to be able to be taken out for maintenance with large equipment or anything like that.:ssh:Quote:
