Damn.....:(

hmmm... perhaps someone changed their mind about covie carbine? *fingers crossed* or maybe its a variant of the FRG? (lol jackal FRG)

It's not a varient of a weapon. But it is an extention of another weapon. I've said to much already.

oh goodie. an extension ehh.... AHAH!!! its a sniper sentinel beam! lol

It already shoots perfectly straight!
Are you telling me you need a scope to get a headshot with the sniper?

Not that kind of extention...
...

A plasma grenade launcher on the PP...I knew it. Actually, I'm sure that it's something like that.

i hope not. PP is tooo small... maybe a plasma shotgun

Isnt that the swordes purpose?

Is it a combat knife? (or bayonet attatchment for any Human weapon?) Or does that count as a "variant of another weapon"?

Why the fuck are marines crewing the POA? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Also, I never understood why the hell the captain is wearing ceremonial clothes.

Ok, the marines were on the pillar of autumn because apparently they were going to war; and those aren't "ceremonial" clothes, its the uniform for a vice admiral, i believe:rolleyes:.

Marines replacing crewman and the captain's out of place uniform are both Masterz' fault, I've been bugging him to fix them for ages. :mad:

We have un-armoured marines manning the ship. The crewman took up to much tagspace, which was needed for the brutes. We will get Keyes a new uniform though.

Crewman is just another gbxmodel masterz. Even if its regions are incompatible with the marines' collision, we can just add in some manually with guerilla.

i was thinkin about it... i figured the ONLY covie weapon not enhanced by cmt would have to be plasma pistol or needler. PP's are going to be enhanced in the usage by the AI correct? they can charge it up now i do believe. so why enhance the weapon itsself? the needler must be enhanced. its got to be a needler sniper (hope not) a needler with some type of range, projectile speed, or homing enhancement... i believe it could be a needler Major or something like that

Ooooo, your scary close:p.

yes, but i mean theres no second version of it
think about it

sentinel beams red and blue
plasma rifle brute elite and jackal
brute shot, sniper (not as close a match i know)

only needler and PP need a partner...

here are my thoughts

needler major ( enhanced homing )
jackal needler (higher speed and range with larger clip, less power, takes more needles to detonate)

sniper needler (long range less homage more power)

any of these could be possible in my opinion

Update on the first page.

And you guys are totaly off on what the new covie weapon is.

Even in that pic of the Brute shot: wow. It looks much better than Halo 2's, like it was actually alien and not some human-like weapon.

As to the new covie weapon: a jackal version of the Plasma Pistol that only fires the overshot? (and thus kills you faster on Legendary?)

gah! way off...

but the new pics look shweet. whats with the background in the spiker one though?

You know, of all the things in this mod, I think the best part is the most blatantly obvious: the HUD. It is just beautiful.

it is pretty...

Now that is looking pretty sweet.

Is it the giant dildo model slash rocket launcher posted on GBX a few months back?

A needler that functions like the apparation, with the single-shot homing fire and the needle burst grenade?

Awesome spiker.Btw everything looks better in motion;)

Bwa-ha! Someone remembers that! No, it isn't, because I lost the model for it.

lmao links anybody?

Is the gun a deployable turrent of some variety? that can also be picked up for mobility leetness?

um.. spiker nade secondary fire?

holy shit, they made the Spiker look like......................The actual Halo 3 Spiker!!! O.O!!

are the brutes and/or Elites going to dual wield the spikers??

and that brute shot has the sexiest explosion I've ever seen in Halo >.>

The thread was made by my friend, Billard Madrake, and the model was done in a few minutes by me. It was a ruse to get people thinking he might have potential in the community.

Doesn't look much like one to me (but then I havn't spent much time looking at them...where's zilla when you need him..)

wow how would a dildorocketlauncher even be used in game? anyways maybe its an anti aircraft fuel rod gun? or maybe a fuel rod gun with digital enhancements. so it would be like the H2 fuel rod cannon, while we still have the H1 fuel rod gun... maybe it shoots needler blasts?? idk i guess ill find out

Doesn't really matter. I doubt it will get in. (no offense)

I'm thinking that it's a covenant portable turret, seeing as the Humans have one. It wouldn't be balanced if the humans had a very powerful weapons like that and the covenant didn't. It might also be a Spartan Laser counterpart (let's hope not).

Can someone sort the images in the topic post into daily spoiler tags?

:eyesroll: But in all seriousness it probably isn't that.

Hmmm... Ironclad, you might be on to something there.... Makes sense, because the grunts in the last level DO carry the FRG. And Masterz hasent released any pics of those..... Hmmm.....:rolleyes:

yeah.. ive thunk up some more things that could be in

h2 fuel rod cannon

anti aircraft fuel rod gun

covenant version of spartan laser, like a plasma beam or somehting

needle cannon. shoots mass numbers of needles

perhaps a covenant flamethrower? (blue flames)

Yeah I put them all into spoliers.

Show me you care now. with rep silly

Finally, new spiker animations.

Bungie stated that the Fuel Rod Cannon and Fuel Rod Gun are two different weapons (though my guess is they wholly intended to replace the FRG with the FRC).

i know, thats why im thinkin that it would be cool to have both

Really? The Fuel-Rod cannon was the name for the fuel rod gun in Halo PC's tagset, i believe.

It was actually Plasma_cannon. The fuel rod cannon is the name for it in Halo 2's gameplay.

Personally, I like the Fuel Rod Gun better. It had more uses.

Gotcha. Thanks, but i still dont understand the difference between the fuel rod cannon vs. the gun.:confused2:

Cannon has a clip and fires strait.

also cannon has that digital visual enhancer. the fuel rod gun however is obviously the superior weapon.

Why do you say that? The Fuel Rod Cannon fires straight, it uses ammo and no energy, its way more accurate, and the Fuel Rod Gun shoots at an arch and it doesn't shoot accurate because you can tell the shots go outside of the reticle.

I do believe that the cannon is actually the more powerful hunter/banshee weapon. The fuel rod gun is the hand-held version. :eng101:

Note the "clips" on both:

Halo 1
http://www.the-junkyard.net/images/h...lrod_large.jpg
Halo 2
http://halo.wikia.com/images/5/51/Fuel_rod_gun.jpg

finally, the brute shot explosion looks much better! :woot: hooray for CMT!

Picking up a fuel rod gun in Halo PC tells you "picked up a fuel rod gun". Picking one up in Halo 2 tells you "picked up a fuel rod cannon".
:mysterysolved:

I like the fuel rod gun better cause the fuel rod cannon just feels like a rocket launcher with a bigger clip and different firing effects :|

and no homing :eng101:

Isnt that essentially what it is?

The FRG handled more like a grenade launcher, the FRC came across as a rocket launcher-ish type weapon (it did have parabolic trajectory after a decent distance).

Personally, I like the name plasma cannon. With a name like "Fuel Rod Gun/Cannon" you'd expect a little more demolition per punch.

Yeah. I agree with what everyone else has been saying.

well, i have been reading this... EVERYONE HERE SEEMS TO THINK THEIR ARGUING... but their just agreeing with each other and restating each other. anyways, if the CMT does add some kind of an antiaircraft homing fuel rod gun/cannon, i hope its power is somewhat decreased from the normal version. i want to have a challenge even whilst using the greatest weapons in the game

For a final tally though, I'd like to point a few things out:

The Fuel Rod Gun was superior because if was perfectly accurate when fired at about 1 round a second, which is all you really need unless you lack the motor skills to properly aim. Second, the arcing projectiles could be used to flush out an opponent hiding behind cover thick enough to absorb the blast of a head-on shot. If you can't aim the mortar, then that is your problem, because for most people, predicting the arc comes naturally, or they learn very quickly.

The Fuel Rod Cannon's only real advantage was that it was faster to reload than the FRG was to cool down, and that several shots can be placed in the same spot very rapidly. The scope is near useless, since a decent player and AI would be able to dodge that in the time it takes the sluggish fuel rod to reach the target from a distance that warrants using the scope in the first place.

[/rant]

who.gives.a.fuck.

I do.

There, now calm down.

well also there is the fact that the frc isnt in any multiplayer. but i do agree, mortar is better.

This conversation is comparable to publicly announcing that you can't +rep some one for the next 24 hours: NOBODY GIVES A SHIT.

Well, I think it is safe to say that half the people on this forum don't give any care to half of the threads on it, so technically, you could say nobody cares about any of this, when in actuality, there is always a small percent that does.

Did you know that this is a forum where people are allowed to post their opinions and make educated comparisons?

Get the hint yet?

im curious to find out what this new weapon is though. he did say for sure it was a covenant weapon, and not in the brute genre right?

Correct.

well shit im out of ideas. well at least you guys arent (cmt i mean)

i mean if it isnt brutesque, plasma rifles have been modded several times, it isnt needleresque(according to masterz), it may or may not be a fuel rod varient, and the only other hint i have been given is that its an extension of another weapon, then im stumped

its a PP with an extra flashlight D:

Who said it has to be a variant. Ever heard of *gasp* [cue dramatic music], an original idea?

Masterz said it was a variant...

may be its the covie sniper rifle, or the FRC, oh and masters, you might want to recycle this thread, 50 pages is a little long

---

I would've have thought it was a Brute Sniper, but since masterz said it wasn't in the brute sandbox, i dont know....

Did anyone think maybe it was that giant needler-like cannon from The Fall of Reach? The one that hit one of the spartans' banshees after they nuked that covie ship? Maybe its a fuel-rod variant that can compete against the Galileian.

Im sorry for bring so vague. Im in school and i dont have the books with me, ill look it up later.

Of course its gonna be awesome. CMT is making it, remember?

DONTCHA LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE POST AND DONT READ THE THREAD? WEEEE anyways im sure it will be awesome. i have faith that masterz wont let it be implemented in the game if its not of some strategic use, and im positive it will be balanced.

He said everything CMT makes is awesome, I was merely pointing out that map was not awesome. The original Oblivion was... that one wasn't.

You do realize the map was released as a tag dump, and was not ment to be played?

Quote:

---

H2 Oblivion, so you can use CUSTOM content from it, as well as reverse engineer the ripped content so you may see how we did it all.

Please don't play it, not like you can have much fun on a dedi server dead hogs are colidable, without any spawn tricks of mine, so you get hit by one you'll exception.

See kids, this is why you don't fantasize about boys in class, because your reading skills suffer.

Yes I do, but it was still released by CMT and still not awesome.

This is why you don't let your ego get bloated, because you act like this whenever someone dares criticize you.

are we really going to sit around and argue about whether or nto CMT is good at what they do?

So.. a map not meant to be played, released just as a tag resource, has to fit the catagory of a "good map". I'm fine with critisim, but not from retards :).

I never said it had to fit into the category of a good map, I said it WASN'T a good map. Prove me wrong?

I rest my case.

the map was basically a tag pack, from what i can conclude there was never meant to be any gameplay. i mean it litterally says it in the description. asked nicely too, said please

I don't know if it's possible under the Halo engine, but can you make the assault rifle tracers glow? It'd make them look a lot cooler.

It's possible. Thanks for the idea, I might do that for my Halo PC

Why would we do that?
