I kinda like that concept
Could the ammo cover split in half along its length as it slides forward? Keeping the front parts closer together so that it kinda mimics the fins on the back of the rifle?
Or my suggestion if the two batteries.
Haha that plasma pistol is neat :P Can't wait to see the PR or maybe a FRG?
An FRG already reloads.Quote:

The FRG is basically the same thing as the flak cannon, just it didn't explode in the air in Halo 1. I can't remember if it did in halo 2 either but it looked pretty much the same as the Halo 3 one.Quote:

Anyone else think it was funny that, in the missions where you play as the Arbiter, apparently he doesn't understand how to reload plasma weapons either?Quote:

The entire idea of the batteries being replaceable has "fallen out of canon" so to speak. While it was an element that made the weapons more alien in the first game, it would have drastically changed gameplay and confused some players if it was changed in the second. By the time Halo 3 came around (and, in canon, the humans are now allied with Elites, and should therefore have all of the same information and least know how to collect and replace the battery, even if they don't know how to recharge it), it had become a relic of an ancient game manual.Quote:

It'd be more than easy to come up with one for the spartan laser.
finishing up the hud:
finally got back around to this
Oh snap!
hot dam...
Really minor (and I think it was originally my suggestion when you asked me), but maybe replace the X with a - or something less obtrusive for the unselected grenade types.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. I can see from here though, that the textures on those weapons need some touching up.
Very badass HUD. @.@
Anyone notice what the lines inside the plasma grenade looks like?
Made me lol.
I dunno but to me it looks like Megaman's helmet :ugh:Quote:

Yeah, I only see megaman.
ANd that is a damn good hud.
sword is :O
Excuse me but is any of this work going to be used in Zteam maps or [Penguin's] The Pit? It would be sad if this wasn't going in any maps. If this has already been answered, I'm sorry for asking.
im pretty sure it will be used in the pit
messing around with light volumes
Not just talking about the plasma projectile. That is Fucking Epic.
Halo's engine ruins it. The hud looks majory hd compared to the jagged edges of the bsp D: Looks real good.
You mean the bsp ruins it, its the tutorial bsp
Wow that looks great. Does that use a custom bitmap?
Looks awesome.
Topic cleaned. Completely unnecessary discussion, don't start it again.
late to the party :eyesroll:
...
texture is still wip, obviously
cad you dog :smugsome:
Looks nice, you aiming to keep the sight low poly?
[thumb]http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/Sight.jpg[/thumb]
You should make it like that ^, it is pretty low poly and has a nice amount of detail and all the detail is viewable to the player, so it looks nice.
Atm your sight has flat sides, it is kinda boring.
Also; the light at the front seems like it has a lot of sides and it is at the front and will not be seen very often, it may be a good idea to lower the amount of sides, although it may give it a bad siloet when you do see the flashlight.
Any details not on there already I'm going to texture on.
I think the angled sides as opposed to rounded looks better. Also the light should have that many sides due to the silhouette issue
Looks nice, and accurate.
done
hey man that looks awesome
Jesus Christ, the progress is amazing. SMG looks sick, but the detail of that Shotgun 2 pages back is absolutely outstanding. Excellent choice of colour for the light up iron sights.
Looks great.
The shotgun is just the Halo 3 one :\Quote:

Ohh dude it is the best job I've seen in halo ce, congratulations.
the pistol has WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY more recoil
all the recoil strengths there are based on the fact that a spartan is wielding it (despite the odst arms)
Pull triggers with the pad of the fingertip, not the middle of your finger, please fix that.
not my animations, but sure.
Ok. Since the fps are were odst (I think) I thought you'd be going for what it like in ODST.
video wont load for me
You never disappoint me, CAD. :)
update windows media player?Quote:

These are the first animations ive done in months. :eyesroll:

i like the fp arms.
they're odst's
Nice stuff, but there a bit laggy, maybe put them in spoiler tags?
Nice.
Thinking about releasing ANY of this?? not to offend or anything, But I would like to admit, that it's kind of becoming lame and disappointing that I haven't seen any of these new creations in maps for the past year.
The second reload animation is better. It actually makes sense because the bolt is being pulled after the new clip is inserted.
You don't have to pull the bolt if there's already a round in it I thought...Quote:

Very nice style going on there, how the weapon really flows and reacts to every movement it has (rotates up when it goes down, points more to the right when it goes left, etc etc stuff like that). The mag flick looks pretty good although the mag seems to come off too quickly. Insert of the mag seems week though. I see you're trying to make it flow with the rest of the animation, but it would probably be better off if you copied Halo 3's and then reduced the stiffness that they have to make it fit better. Ophandle pull is good, in the way that you just slide your finger against it and the hand disappears off the screen. Return to origin is great as well, I like how you have the hand have movements instead of just staying static to the handle once it makes contact.
Very nice job for a while without animating.
Yes, that is quite right. I always forget that.Quote:

don't really like the mag in at all, but everything else is nice.
its definitely got a good flow, but I dont care for the mag insertion either.

Everything's pretty much done except for the shield meter and coloring.
coloring just needs to be a little lighter, and the shield bar looks a bit to wide, but otherwise, awesome
Shield bar is outrageously different. Otherwise, it's a near-perfect replica.
I like how you guys pointed out the two things he said he hadn't finished :o
Looking awesome man - is the metal around the AR's ammo meter supposed to be illuminated like that?
yeah, i used a lens flare on the display, i figured it looked nicer in the dark
Good call.
Numbers at top right next to the weapon's picture isn't set to that cool angled view, it's looking like it's facing straight at you. Radar needs to be a teeeeeensy bit wider.
Isn't set to 25 meters. Pay attention to that for future preference.
The numbers face two different ways in Halo 3. They can't be that way in Halo 1, there is only one allowed set of numbers.
You can change radar range in Halo 3 multiplayer.
Since the numbers can't both be angled outwards, it would look better if any and all near-vertical lines were made vertical (ammo ticks, grenade outlines, shield meter edges, maybe even the weapon icons).
Are those hands actually ripped from ODST or did you make them?
that looks fantastic!
theyre from odstQuote:

Those textures, they look so low res D:
i don't know why you people insist on commenting on things that are totally unrelated to what my posts are actually about.
frankly, i dont give a shit that the textures look "low res". i could compile them using argb8, but that would be an awful waste of map cache space.
This. Also, any plans to change the numbers on the AR and BR [how many rounds are left on each of them]? They just don't look right for some reason...Quote:

The HUD looks amazingly well reproduced. Good work.
Those are amazing
Maybe you should add lens flares for the yellow/green lights on the magnums?
:O Looks amazing, I want to make Halo 3/ODST HUD's now. Watch mine be epic fail.
great attitude :/
Those look better than the actual h3 ones.
bravo :golfclap:
Excellent job. Do the ODST SMG zoom.
You knwo the flak cannon one, couldnt you add the blur effect on that by making a biped spawn in front of the sight or something?
Why's the circle in the Battle Rifle reticule smaller than I remember it being?
Otherwise, they look spectacular. Very nice replication of the Flak Cannon as well.
excellent stuff.
If your talking about the scope gradient, its like that in Halo 3.Quote:
