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

yeah im curious as to how bungie is gonna pull that off... balancing duel m6g's? idk about that one

The BR is most annoying when marines have it. Sure they have a good aim with the grenade launcher, but have no concern for your safety when you are smacking the hell out of an Elite. You have just survived a brutal encounter with the Elite, barely alive. You melee him for the last time and then *BLAM* your marine kills you. That is a big problem with those Marines. Did you ever notice that your Spartan friends don't attack you once you kill all the Marines? The recticle turns red, but they don't fire at you. Is that a problem that needs to be taken out?

Yeah but the pistol is a sidearm and shouldn't be better than the rifles. Thats why bungie weakened the pistol because in h1 everyone prefered it over the ar.

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 to 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)

---

since we're back on this topic allow me to reiterate (quotes myself)

but i TOTALLY agree with ralex. spartans in spv1 killed me a thousand times with that grenade launcher in truth and reconcilliation.

.44 Magnum vs. M16. Magnum wins, but at a shorter range. I agree that there should be no scope, but that's about where it ends.

Speaking of which, what was the deal with the scope attachment in the H3 beta? Got rid of it, new function, or null?

Probably a laser sight that's turned off.

it really adds to the gun's shape. i hope they dont remove it

I haven't really heard about the H3 pistol yet. Can someone share the knowledge?

it looks like the H1 pistol, has a slowed rate of fire and less power. thats about all i know (its duel wieldable)

I thinks it looks better and with the sword having an energy limit, it will be very balanced in multiplayer.

it seems a bit weaker though doesnt it?

It is, but dual wield? WIN.

The animation origins of the sword make teh lag sad.

Except, from my experience, the depleted version of the sword is actually stronger, lol. (Though that just may be incomplete material)

heh, lightning fast melee is quite nice, broken sword = win

You have to pay attention, mister.

the swords just kinda suck. seriously, they ruin the gameplay for halo ce. we dont need them

Why is everyone obsessing over the sword? Hasn't Masterz already said that there will be no usable sword? Besides, it isn't all that great anyway, without a good attack system. Hell, it isn't all that great, period. I couldn't care less whether it's in SPv2 or not.

For about a page and a half there we were complaining about Halo 3... or didn't you notice? :p
Everyone forgot about CMT completely whilst chewing the fat on the subect at hand, even the local moderators.

I was referring to AAA's post about how he didn't like that there will be no usable sword in SPv2. The post I made was going to be right after it, but when it went through, there were a few posts after it. That took it out of context a bit, but I couldn't be bothered to fix it. I figured people might get it. Guess i was wrong.

Oh, ok. It's better to quote people's post when you are commenting on them.http://www.h2vista.net/forums/images/icons/icon12.gif

Sorry. It's exam week. If Masterz plans on releasing SPv2 by the 25th as he planned, then I wouldn't expect another video before release, I've just got too much going on at the moment.

OH, noo problem. I have today and tomorrow so i understand about no time.

Shit! He's going to release it already? Wow, i thought it would be at least another month. Just make sure it dosent turn into another SPv1 because of the time restraint. PLEASE dont, this has been far too anticipated.

Post Scriptum: You meant June 25th, right?

Do you mean the 25th of June or the 25th of July?

i hope its july, unless hes just gonna suck it up and release a beta, and then correct all the bugs after the community gets to it. thats the way to go, why waste cmt's time testing?

lol, he should make it july 22, thats when all the new 1333MHz Core 2 Duo Processors come out (Quads for $266? uhh huh).

or june 29th, thats my half b day.

or june 25th, thats one of my friend's b day's. w8, thats the day, oh damn, nvm...

The CMT SPv2 is coming out on July 25th?

The Halo 3 gameplay seemed a bit slow to me, I dunno what it was, but it seemed slow. I hope they can finish with a fantastic release, but I want it soon. Maybe they can release it in July.

when was there h3 gameplay? they had some h3 weapons, but thats about it

It amazes me how none of you can read the big sticky topic that says SPV2 delayed.

lol Masterz, you beat me to it. I think it started when HoodedSmack quoted HaloKing about a video, and then proceeded to discuss a release of SPv2 on the 25th. I dont know how he got SPv2 release from video release, but yeah, folks, you really should pay attention to what you are reading. You really make yourselves look dumb.
Revord

im glad its delayed. provided that time = quality that is.

You still want it to come out soon though... not in a big rush.

Then let me clear it up. The latst time I talked to Masterz on AIM, he told me that he wanted to release the SP on the CMT anniversary, the 25th of something. The video won't be in resumed production until at least noon of June 26th. I was not aware that Masterz had posted anything about changing the release date, and quite frankly, the last page or so of this thread has been quite confusing. Let's clear it up, please.

He never said when he was going to release it, we just heard it from you, and everything in here when topsy-turvy. Everyone just wants to know June 25 or July 25.

wait, what? if im reading ur post right, does this mean that the next video production will come out AFTER the SP comes out? or do you mean that the video will be produced June 26th and the SP comes out July 25th?
and speaking of which, can you guys post a topic with all the differnt pics of the skins/enemies/allies? lik all of them, cept for the secret enemy and whatever else you guys call secret....

There is no set release date.

ok then how about that video update of how you guys are doing? or more pics of how you guys are doing, because the last couple of pics didn't really do anything, it was kinda random and only showed vague/very dark pics of elites, i can't barly even see them. and the 2 pics showing the battles, that's just plain random

Looking good. But I have to ask: Are you going to fix all the (I don't know the right word but) LAG in campaign? Because I had a lot of problems with that and I can assure you I have a good graphics card.

first of all, id like to say that among signature animations, [BD] spartan's is GOD! and second of all, there is NO chance its coming out on the 25th... i just hope it comes out before halo 3. if not, thats just too much haloage in one timespan.

So, how's SPv2 going on?

Tell us what your card is. Assuring us doesn't help, and by the sounds of it, it really can't be that good. I run perfectly fine in the betas of SPv2, and in SPv1, so please post your card. If it is a bad card, it doesn't mean CMT won't try to reduce fps lag, but if it is, then it isn't really CMTs fault you have a bad card.

the library of SPV1 made me lag. horribly. there were a lot of flood in there!

not really, it ran almost perfect on my computer at max, and i only have lik a...erm....on a scale of 1-100 of how good my card is, 100 being top of the line, government good, it's lik 90, nvidia geforce 6900 overclocked. so yea, you tell me. anyways, can someone answer my questions from the last page?

My video card has top quality, advanced, new, improved technology derived from the companies itself. Not really.. jk. It runs fine for me, but the extra stuff in SPv2 will cause some more lag. I never really experienced any, but maybe some people have difficulties trying to run the game without some sort of lag. It probably happens to everyone, you shouldn't have to worry that bad.

I don't know about any of the vid releases, that's between Masterz and the vid makers. We'll put out more pics when we think there's something worth showing.

^ ummmmmm wat isn`t there worth showing we want to see a good close up picture of the flood, brutes, and hunters. we want to see alot but im sure we can all agree that we dont want to see the new secret enemies and weapon(s).

^Ummm perhaps look at the ones already posted. Maybe youll see some of what has been worked on already. And Im sure that a better use of sentence structure and english grammar will go a long way towards helping folks understand what it is your trying to say. Or, just dont say anything at all. Dont get too demanding unless your actively participating in putting these projects together.

what people like you seem to forget is that CMT doesnt OWE us any footage or anything, and when it comes to updates on their work, they dont seem to take requests often. when there is some kind of breakthrough that makes them say "OMG!!! THEY MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS!" they will post it.

You guys probably won't get as much info or pics until I build my new computer.

We see that.

We'll get the pics hopefully in the next few.... months.

i still dont totally understand what masterz did to his old PC, but i guess thats off topic lol.

how long is that gonna take? i'm guessing about 2 weeks? one week to order all the parts from newegg or somewhere, 2 or 3 days to build the computer itself, and another day to install the os and all the correct drivers, give or take 1-2 days, as revord said, you might have other stuff you need to do, am I right? whatever, i'm guess there's really nothing i can do about the release of SPv2, so i guess i'll just wait...*sigh*:eyesroll:

Except that it takes only a few hours to put a computer together, but that won't really make a difference. And it was Masterz laptop that broke so there isn't really any way to buy new parts for it.

its just his laptop that broke its not his comp, he probably has all his modding equipment hooked to his comp.

Go to the CMT forums, he moved a thread into there, starting with the word 'oops' or something. You can see what he did there. I never told you, but that Spiker looks a hell of a lot better.

Actually, I prefer the Halo 3 spiker, but only when i dual wield them, cause they kill fast.

Same here because its pretty accurate and when dual wielding, I mostly get double & triple kills fast.

The only reason why I liked the CMT spiker is because when you melee somebody it kills in them in one hit.

Yeh. Spiker ftw.

hey the CMT spiker was like an smg with slower fire. i loved using it in close quarters (snow grove tunnels ftw) because the spikes bounce off the walls. its a death trap lol. but true, its main asset is the melee. what i was refferring to when i said it is better than the H3 one is its appearance. the new spiker (the one they have on this thread) is better than h3 beta spiker judging by appearance alone

You don't seem to have gotten the picture the first time I deleted your posts and discussion about sliced bread. That is just about the most offtopic thing you could be talking about. If you feel the need to discuss something so stupid, don't clutter up a thread that has nothing to do with the matter.

god cant a man use an expression without everyone debating it for a page and a half? anyways, im excited to see how the spiker in CMTSPV2 will differ from the betas... though i never played halo 3 beta (unfortunatly) so i wouldnt really know

I like sliced bread...............I also like updates, Unfortunately, I can't have either one cause my sisters ate the rest of the bread with some other stuff to make what we all commonly know as a sandwhich. I'm hungry...and we have no updates. What a day.

perhaps, possable, a merical,and pitty, maybe masterz will make an update but it mite take all of those things for an update. And iron clad i have played h3 beta, and the spikers are a good weapon if you dual weild, but when cmt sp-v2 comes out ill of coures try it. But if it isnt good ill switch back to shotty or something els.

yeah i usually use whatever comes to me in the more guerilla levels like library or two betrayals

You could of at least removed the sliced bread part from my post since it was sort of on topic.

I just like the spiker. I want to use it to kill everything.

say, will the Slugun be included in SPv2 still? i found this thread from a long time ago that said that the slugun will be in there, but that was a long time before, so i'm not sure. here's the link for the gun's reload:

yea, whoa....it must've been deleted after i posted, sorry guys =(, but the shotgun animation is still there =), but yea, can someone answer my question about the shotgun? is it gonna be in SPv2? i'm guessing no,
and i agree with kenny, i perfer the h3 shotgun, it's PWNSOME!

i don't think CMT is going to put the Halo 3 Shotgun in the SPv2, because they are the Custom Map Team.

I hope you know that custom includes both making completely custom content and using concepts from other works but still modeling it, skinning it, and tagging it ourselves. I am in now way hinting that we are going to make a Halo 3 styled shotgun, I am just saying this for the record.

ya i guess. But, still, halo 3 shotgun is not that good, 6 rounds, ugh. CMT's current shotgun is the best, although they could at least make the projectiles a little bit faster because i have to lead my target in MP.

no, you have to lead ur targets in MP because of the server connection difference, you have to fire AHEAD of the target in order to inflict damage of any kind due to the connection lag, however, on live, you don't need to do this, on PC, hell yes if you want to kill.
but if you mean how the shotgun pellets come out of the tube 0.5 secs AFTER you click, that's just how the shotgun is.
The PROJECTILES themselfs are instant, meaning that they hit the target without delay, it's the firing itself that's slow, whatever, pretty sure you get my point

That is why I said and I quote, "I FAVOR a shotgun with the HALO 3 RELOAD ANIMATION."

I didn't say a thing about putting in a weapon or animation, I said FAVOR which means that I prefer.

Actually the reason behind halo 3 shotgun having six rounds is due to power increase and range increase. You lead due to latency in the connection.

I have never found myself using all 6 rounds at once anyways.

well, then i guess that kinda changes my mind. But the CMT shotgun skin still looks pretty good, although if they changed the rounds in a magazine to 6, and increased range and damage, that would be kinda nice.

I think 8 is a better number of rounds, considering how huge the gun is...just an opinion.

The shotgun? makes sense, its not really copying halo 3, i. e. 6 rounds or something, etc. But if it had 8 rounds, it would only probably have 15% increased damage and range and that's about it.

8 does sound like a good round number. But 7 would go along great with bungie's theme.:D
