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

Becasue it makes the battles look better..

I mean, they don't have to glow like the plasma shots, but just a different glow.

Yes, glowing tracers are entirely possible. H2CE's beam rifle has a glow to its tracers.

But why the hell would they "improve the look of battles?" The muzzle flashes are cool enough, thank you. You ask for ideas as moronic as your name, .:}_50Çã{_|neاâ€*yles<â„¢>:.

Anyway, the tag space could be saved for something more practical, like a human blade (bayonet) on the underside of a rifle (to substitute for the apparent lack of a combat knife). Stabbing an unshielded target from the front can potentially do more damage than simply clubbing them. And against Flood, the bayonet might actually do some damage, like shearing off limbs.

I don't think he wanted a GLOW, as in huge assed fucking blob of light, but just for the tracers to actually look like real tracers. That's what I'm doing to Halo PC right now, a slight lens flare so they look bright. Oh also, it wouldn't affect tag space. Like, at all.

ROFL

Master Chief: HE ATTACKED ME!!! OMGHAX

Why not just add a dynamic light to the tracers so they illuminate stuff around them... ross did that in one of his oooold pc mods.

I played Oblivion one time against someone. It was only the two of us, but it wasn't that bad. I still have the map, though I never use it. I just thought it needed some work, thats all. Back on topic, do we really need the tracers? I mean, it would kinda make it better, oh what the heck, let Masters decide. I don't know what else to say so I'll end this post.

I can't believe you guys are debating this. Of course we will not make them glow. Extra lights on the trancers, when thers a bajillion of them being fired, means lag.

Master Chief can NOT walk, nor can he dive out of the way of enemy attacks!

Rest assured, there is meaning behind this post.

plasmariffle slowdown-ness is overpowerd?

lost me up at the point where he said
"mastercheif cannot duck and dive out of the way" or something like that.

ok i experence some lagg with a lot more ai thenin the 2nd to last pic. thats kinda a lot of ai. is that on legendary or is it normal or easy.

Its on AMAZING!

Colorful.

Have the plasma rifle and ghost been updated with the glowing parts from halo 3? Because i really hope so.

nice new images, those grunts in the first one got destroyed lol. Nothing like Grunt hunting huh

Hot damn, that is truly awesome.

FFS you made T&R un-snowy didn't you...

fucking lame.

(awaits for snowy pillar of autumn)

how about something new like a desert level?

HOLY SHITCOW the assualt rifle looks spacy. and cowboyey. they call me the space cowboy.

Excuse me, do you like bebop?

(rep for the first person to get that)

hellz yes. cowboy bebop is awesome

now rep me =p

cliff textures and radiosity need work in that map tbh.


And we needs a desert level now, methinks.

Whoah! What map is that last picture (6-9-07)? The Flood are never in any sunny, grassy maps! What is happening?

What? I see no flood.

http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/3...3182298lb5.jpg

Unless of course I am completely incompetent at life, which is a distinct possibility. I thought both of the maps were the new AOTCR style. I could well be wrong though.

It's Assault on the Controlroom (or 2 betrayals..)

my monies on AOTCR for lack of flood.

my main gripe is that the ice was a major part of AOTCR, with the warhog, you had to try to avoid the ice lest you go slipy slidy around a pile of covies. without that, I think it'd just loose it's feel (and AOTCR was my favourate level too...)

though that is alot of elites :hist101:

AOTCR was also my favorite level. I just wonder where it was, how about a bonus level? That would be new lol.

No snow on Assault? Why!? That would totally screw up Cortana's comment about the weather in that area of Halo...

Then we can change the comment. :)

heheh or maybe make parts of it snowy and parts of it sunny. that would REALLY be inclimate whether eh?

No way, how could you do that? I'd like to see that happen. Cmon bring it on! (I'm not against you, it doesn't seem very possible)

Insert a different comment by Cortana from the level "Halo." I am guessing it would be the one about the different types of flora.

I remember way back from the days when the CMT homepage was hosted on Biocroc's site, AotCR was a desert level, and I gotta say the theme did fit well: even Cortana's comment on the climate wouldn't have seemed out of place.

couldnt you just fully remove the comment?

You could. It would be pretty pointless. Too lazy to type more.

those last pics updated yesterday, grassy AotCR?? :confused2: i wish CMT could release the SPv2 before July comes. :)

I wish that you could download an update system, it told you every announcement/photo CMT put there. Once the maps were released, the computer would auto-download it for you. That would be awesome and convenient.

Like H2CE's Direct2U plugin?

What's that?

Oh! I remember that! You see, H2CE Team gave you maps soon after you downloaded Halo CE. The update did it all for you, but no pics and the stuff I mentioned 3 threads above.

im sure theyll at the least give us a progress report and another vid at the end of this month, i hope

i want to see some hunter battle action. also, if enforcers really are in the game i got to see some of them.

when r u guys going to have another video update.

When another one is ready. Do not ask when updates will be, because we do them whenever we feel like one is needed.

im wondering how the flood are comming. its been a while since ive seen anything on them, and they looked great then, so i wonder how theyre doin now?

That's a good question. Sometime soon we'll get to making a swell new vid.

What's that? Timmy's stuck in the well?

That's a good question. Sometime soon we'll get to making a swell new vid.

Is that easier, Dole? :)

Are you sure? However, I often smell a wisp of subliminal message funniness from you.

really? this weekend? aint that really awesome! to think that i had just requested it! (oh screw it) OBEY IRONCLAD

retaraded? Nice spelling in your subliminal message, genius.

o rly?

shut the fuck up

Win. Hows that for a subliminal messages?

SPv2 looks awesome and can't wait for the next update.

i had the original subliminal message :(


Don't be fooled by cheap imitation brands!

jeez reaper. take things so fucking seriously please. nice avatar btw, pissing me off though

What about a very expensive imitation that supercedes yours in almost every way possible?


Also jesus people, don't stray so far offa the topic this time.

I must say, I really like the new brutes and I can't wait for getting a chance to totally pwn brutes with cmt's h3 weapons. Although, I think an actual CUSTOM weapon from cmt other than another weapon from halo brought to life weapon would be nice, although I understand it's too late now. As always, I'm happy to see how cmt's work of a sort of Halo:Remake alters gameplay tactics and give more replay value to a game.

well idk about you, but i dont remember ever seeing an ma5k assualt carbine in any of bungies work. of course, the books dont count

I laugh at your slow inter-flexes :)

can we get back on topic? someones gonna have to give us a smackdown if we dont.

Sublimininal?

Also, it's a bit too late to be adding new weapons.

Fix the spelling in those subliminal messages guys. I can't really blame you since you were probably focusing on the message rather than the spelling. Moving on, I just want to say.... GIVE ME SPV2 NOW!!!! Seriously, just give me it and we can move on with life and so I can play Halo CE for 10 hours straight.

No.

Also, this subliminal message stuff has become old, please do not bring it up again.

Now because of you people, L33T has to change his sig. >:O

Updated.

Ha-ha! Stupid Elite got in the line of fire. I suppose the person who took the photo was a Grunt (using bump possession), since the elevation is low. Or maybe they were crouching..
EDIT: I was just kidding about the SPv2 thing.. lol

Or maybe they used the DevCam, seeing as how there's no FP. <_<

Sword needs embellishment. Bigtime.

I noticed that too, the sword looked wrong and it really looked like it went through its hand.

why is that hunter shooting the elite?

sword needs to be moved over

New pic is awesome, although the elites sword hand looks a little off-origin. Also, while the new elite skin looks good, it just looks like you took the blood ground splatter and overlapped it with the eilte. IT NEEDS DRIPPY EFFECTS!!!

wait time out, what if the sword is attached to its palm, like those spec ops elites. just wondering

dude is that weapon a fuel rod flame thrower?! awesome

Nope, i believe thats the new secret hunter weapon. *SPECULATION TIME!!!*

It's simply the new way we do particles for plasma. That is the same weapon the hunter used in SPV1.

Love that elite skin. Cant wait to get my hands on this baby when its done :D
Revord

no offence, but that update sucks...=(

one more question, will we still be able to posess the Elites with the swords, see, and see the sword?

No, because if the MC won't be using the sword, the corresponding animations won't be put in.
If there are no FP sword animations of any kind, you'll get no sword FP.

and they couldnt put it in there for the hell of it?......darn. Thank you for helping me understand that Dole :)

nice new elite skin, reminds me more of Halo 2 and Halo 3. I hope there really will be Honor Guards though...:)

well couldnt they still put in the FP animations and things but still make the weapon detonate when dropped? this would satisfy those people who want CMT swords, theyd just have to possess an elite, and also keep things halo1 esque? i dont give a rats ass if they do or dont, but its just a possibility

I just want to possess the Brutes, see what its like to backstab your Elite and Grunt friends.:beating:

We will not put in any content that is not needed. If you want to use elites with swords, you can, but we won't make maps bigger than they need to be.

Ok, just wanted to say it would be perfect if you took off the granade launcher off the battle rifle, i'll tell you why 1 it's annoying, 2 it's not very strong there but you don't really have to take it off but if read this and want to then go ahead what do i care.

well it doesnt really matter about the swords anyhow. i just want to know if hunter beams will be wieldable

You haven't thought it through. Without the Nade launcher, it's just a pistol clone. Not to mention, it is strong, it's a frickin grenade that explodes on impact, one of the best ways to take down a brute or an enemy vehicle.

ya man i agree with Masterz1337 here. i love the BR nade launcher. its useful against hogs and ghosts that are trying to run u over

I have a few questions , 1) Will the enegry sword be avaible to the player?(Please make it so it would would be sick) and 2) Will the player be able to use the Dual weapons such as the Dual plasma rifle? 3) Will there be Dual Spiker? 4) Will there be Covenant Thow Down turrets?, And last but not least 5) Will there be Dual Wielding Brutes?

Those are my questions a response is appreciated

Is it possible that this brute be in the mulitplayer levels as well? And also how long do you have to go before your finished?:D

^
there finished when they are finished! now stop asking!

I like the BRG when I have it. When a teammate has it, I stay far away as him as possible. It also sucks because when a teammate has it I know my teammates wont be around much longer.

However it is a good weapons when I have it.

i aggree with masterz. the BR needs the launcher to give it that cutting edge over the pistol. because its a rifle, it would be put ot shame to be weaker than a sidearm.

there are two factors that make it superior.

1: the grenade launcher with impact sensitive explosives that deal a good amount of damage, and you can be using primary fire at the same time. very effective combo

2: the battle rifle shoots three projectiles, and therefore has a spread. its not more accurate, but you have a greater chance of hitting, and also a much greater chance of a headshot on an unshielded enemy.

there is also, however a factor that balances it out just a little.

It doesnt shoot as fast as the pistol.

this means that the pistol is still an effective weapon in gameplay in comparison to the battle rifle. really, the grenade launcher is an ingenious strategical design for gameplay (keep up the good work guys)

(ps: rep please for the analysis :D)

Their weapon is attached to their arm. Are you going to wield a hunter arm for a weapon?

you can in SPv1

Are you sure it wasn't the Fuel Rod Gun?

im sure, kill a hunter and walk around its body. you wont SEE the item on the floor, but youll eventually (see press missing string to pick up missing string) do so, and you can pick up the hunters gun. theres no model for it though, FP or thirdperson. no melee attack either. remember not to kill the hunter with explosives if your trying this, that can send the invisible gun flying

But you won't be dual-wielding CMT's Pistol. :downs:
