You'd be amazed by what an individual can accomplish on his own. Combined together they're abilities are limitless. also captain planet

Fixed.

besides id think that certain parts of ti are hard and others arent. so 90% of it could take an hour but the remaining 10 could take months. (dramatization)

wait, you're part of both z-team AND CMT?.....wow......speaking of z-team, since you're part of it, how many percent of your "z-team's campaign" is done?

CMT is like Voltron :).

what is voltron anyways?.....(this is getting off topic)
but still, since you're here masterz, how many percent of SPv2 are you guys done with?

We're about x/y*100 done with it.

X is how much time we've spent, and Y is time from start until finish.

:XD: Umm.....ok.....my guess is between 75% to 100%

Also one question...i,ve heard that SPv2 will be out sometime by the 25th of this month...Is this true or a rumor?

He was talking about Power Rangers.

and what's this? No Update??? ='/

Voltron != Power Rangers. Voltron > Power Rangers.

voltron is like japanese powerangers.

id like to know if the animations of the weapons we have already seen are changing. im definitly a fan of quality animation. i get excited about a new weapon, even if i know exactly how it will fire and play, just to see its melee, reload, and idle animations.

We've got new anims for the BR and Spiker already. We might get some for the AR as well, that depends on how good leet is in bed with masterz. I made some Ma5K revisions, but I wasn't too happy with how they turned out - we might see new Ma5K stuff, but it's not guaranteed. The sentinel beams got a MAJOR overhaul, with new weapons, new skins, and new models. We might have other new anims that I missed, but that's all I can think of now.

No. There may be some minor similarites in the idea of "5 people do stuff and fight stuff," but from then on it branches off alot. Voltron is definately more awesome.

Good job CMT. Keep up the good work, etc., etc.... I would really be happy if they finished at least 80% by now.

Also Power ranger toys sucked compaired to Voltron. If you remember the all metal Voltron toy. That thing was heavy and sometimes the pieces would not go together right, but it was a well made toy. A metal dicast voltron toy is worth over 500 bucks if you got one in mint condition.

how is this on topic? lol is the CMT new custom biped voltron? anyways im excited to see the animations. now i wanna see the ma5k, br, and sentinel beam lol. spiker i excpected new anims already but i still want to see em

Well, now that little update makes me want to see the pictures.

I'm really kinda looking forward to seeing the sentinel because oddly enough I had a fixation on using that weapon whenever I could........Maybe its the whole kill your enemy with lasers thing......

I'm already assuming they fixed the aim on that thing......cause it was annoying in SPv1.

I'd suggest redoing the AR animations a little bit. The recoiling animation goes a bit too far back for a weapon that's shouldered, unless the Chief likes to dislocate his shoulder to dampen recoil.

Or the Chief can't handle the relatively light recoil (he's augmented) of a 7.62mm NATO...

or maybe he can but, he just wants to mess with our minds with rubber arms and thin metal plates!

or maybe its a graphical glitch and it doesnt need to be taken litterally!

I never understood why people nitpick on the smallest things.

Sure you notice the recoils enough to dislocate his shoulder but when your playing do you really think about that small detail that much?

I rather focus on the guy firing at me then how far back to gun goes as it fires.

what archon said
btw, i know the AR with have the h3 sound or something close to it, but will it also have the bullet effect too? lik the tracer thingy.

Because nitpicking makes the game BETTER. Because some people would rather play a glitch free game. Because it makes a game PERFECT AND MORE ENJOYABLE!

I'm new here, and I'm goin to start out by saying that I actually thought that the AR featured in the recent Coagulation map was very well done. I didn't even notice the shoulder dislocating recoil that much.

Anyway, I dled V1 just yesterday and I thought it was great, which is why I'm here. So I am wondering about the battle rifle right now. I really like the whole BRG as it is right now in V1, so I gotta ask, why does it look different in one of the screenies posted on the first pic? Or is that even a battle rifle? And this is my personal view, but I would rather the CMT team keep the levels laggy if it means keeping all the shiny eye candy. I say this mainly because I dont have any lag myself, lol. But if they are reducing polygon counts and glitches to relieve the lag, then by all means, but I really hope they don't get rid of the great graphics just because some people's computers are too old to handle it. Well great graphics for halo at least...

The original BRG is still in the mod; that gun in the first picture is the new MA5K Assault Carbine, based on the corresponding weapon described in the book Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.

Basically the MA5K is a stripped down Assault Rifle. You can try on the new MP maps CMT released.

Also Haloking nitpicking does help sometimes but.......how many of us REALLY care about how far back the gun goes when firing?

*raises hand*

Pretty much all of the senior members care about little things like that.

Why am I not surprised one bit about that?

i care about animations, but frankly i dont think the assualt rifle's firing is too off

K, thanks for clearing up that whole rifle thing, I stopped reading the novels after First Strike... I'll probably go out and buy that Onyx book right this second now.

I'm goin to be nitpicking about something random, on PoA, the logos on the doors should be removed. They just make it so obvious that they were rigged from Doom 3. But you guys are probably way past this, and have already redone the whole level by now, right?

Is it just me, or is AotCR set in sumer?

Sumer is an ancient civilization.:)

I pay attention to every tiny detail...if certain things are too off, it kills my playing mood.

As for the Pillar of Autumns doors being inspired by DOOM 3, all I have to say is: huh?

Um That makes not sense.......why would CMT take doors from Doom 3?

Because they like Doom. Killing demons has never been funner.

If youve played Doom 3, you should be able to recognize the triangular logos on the PoA doors as the Doom 3 UAC corporation logo.

Hey hes right. On the left is the symbol from the doors and on the right is the UAC symbol.

Woah!! I never even noticed that before. Thanks for the pic.

How do you people catch all of the minor aspects of the levels? I guess I never have time to notice them at all since I am fighting off covies and flood!

The people here are really nitpicky. Specially the senior members......

It's not that minor when it sticks out like a sore thumb. It wasn't even edited to match the door's geometry.

Yeah, the logo was distorted, and the coloring stood out too... plus it was the first level, there werent that much fighting goin on to distract me, well cept up until the part when you see the two hunters, I was surprised by them...

Yah I never expected hunters on the first level so when I saw green death coming at me I was surprised alot.

I think that part makes everyone crap thier pants and go OMG!!! WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!!!

I never noticed that before. I have DOOM 3 (excellent game).

+ Rep for the pointer :p.

As for the Hunters, I was just dumbfounded when I couldn't kill them in the usual manner.

yea on legendary, it took forever to kill with with a brg and plasma pistol (yes i carry around a plasma pistol, but only to take down elite's shields with one charge and kill with with the brg, mwhahahah)

I'm hardcore...I don't use the plasma pistol. I use the AR/SMG and the pistol.

Used whatever I got my hands on.

lol, easier with plasma pistol, it takes down their shield, you kill with them with anything else you can get your hands on, just not the plasma pistol itself, usually a brg, smg or shotgun. in Spv2, i'll probably be using a plasma pistol and brute spiker hehe =)

I just stick with the good ol' human rifles and smash their butts into the heads of elites. I'm old fashioned and like close combat like that. Never did like the sniper rifle, the original or the new one.

I like extreme weapon combinations, like shotgun/rocket, or shotgun/sniper.

as long as i got a short range and a mid/longrange weapon im fine

I usually carry around a shotgun (If I can find one if there isn't one just a SMG), and either a Plasma or Battle rifle. Too bad shotgun ammunition is hard as hell to come by (Not including the library of course). BR ammunition aint so hard to come by in the first couple of levels. Just look for the Spartans that got blown up by another ones BRG.

Same here, Sniper/BRG (MA5K in SPv2, YAY!!!) or pistol/BRG (MA5K) and I can cruise through most of the campain :).

on harder difficulties i stick to my good ol needler, mb a shotty and lots of nades-candy.

I like the AR/pistol or SMG/pistol. Don't like the BR a whole lot because of the grenade launcher. I like to soften my target up with a good ole' frag.:lol:

by soften up you mean completely obliterate?:highfive:


frag+ group of grunts =http://www.bungie.net/Forums/skins/d...dead_grunt.gif

most of the time on the MP maps i have a brg and a MA5C, or a C with pistol/spiker

I tend to stay away from the BRG. I hate the Battle Rifle in Halo PC because none of them (except the H2CE one) feel right. All of them are lack-luster, the sounds are horrible, and the view and recoil animations are just, bad.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It just doesn't have that feel like in Halo 2.

I like using the needler and plasma pistol. Nothing like killing grunts with the plasma pistol and killing hunters with the needler.

i also like the assault rifle and plasma rifle combo

I hope we start with the MA5C or MA5K and a pistol on most of the levels.

From the looks of the first pic, I think we might start off with a MA5K carbine. But it is either the carbine or the AR.

The MA5K and M7 would make the most sense for the Pillar of Autumn, the level being a confined space with many close-quarters battles. It would be even better if you started off the next level with the MA5K for consistency (since you jut came off of the ship, and it is unlikely that you magically receiver an MA5C). Maybe have an MA5C lying on the ground from one of the Marines.

Also, do the MA5C and MA5K utilize the same ammunition (if they appear on the same map together)?

Having the carbine and SMG for the PoA would be good or an AR with one of the two would be just the same. Oh, you can start off with a AR on Halo because the escape pods has a weapons locker aboard. Say you grabbed one before you landed, maybe?

Who knows about the ammunition though.

He was knocked out upon landing, and was holding on tight just before. There was no chance to grab a gun.

Either way even if he did grab a gun theres no possible way he held on to it when the pod crash landed........

The starting weapons on a30 you can choose when you walk out of the pod is.

Ma5K
Pistol
Spartan Laser
BRG. You can get the Ma5c, among other human weapons later on.

Sweet, Spartan Laser second level. So the map names will still have to same file names? If so, all we have to do is copy and paste in the maps folder, without having to delete the old ones since they'll automatically be replaced...

ill be picking brg, and spartan laser :)

edit: masterz can you tell me what weapons we start out with on aotcr?

edit 2:

^ If you just change the name on it, it wont replace.

wooot! spartan laser and carbine for me. i love em.

also i was wondering, will marines be able to wield the spartan laser? or maybe the Spartan IIIs can. both i would think

AOTC right now is Silenced SMG and the Carbine, although I might put the pistol in place of the carbine.

whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah




whoah

slow down a bit here, silenced SMG? does that mean there are two smg varients? or is it going to be exactly like spv1, smg is silenced

Yes. Silenced SMG will be in 2 levels (T&R and another one) whereas the SMG will be in most others. At least that was the last I heard.

oh ok. well they better use the same ammo, or else some of you are gonna get slapped.:beating:

They CAN use the same ammo packs, but it is impossible in the game engine to pick up ammo while holding one variant from another.

oh good. i was aware that they couldnt pick up ammo from each other though. you are safe from slapping

Well, you won't be able to get a non silenced SMG on a level with a SMG anyway. Not much need for stealth in halo other than T&R and AOTC.

Q for masterz1337: Are you still using cmt`s custom sniper or are you using a differant sniper?

No CMT's not using their own sniper rifle. Instead they asked some other team for theirs.

Course their using their sniper rifle......

he meant the same one from the MP maps -.- doy

Well, why wouldn't they be using it? It's one their only custom weapons.

In the Halo engine, does the silencer really affect the alertness of the AI enemies? When I played SPV1, I never observed the silencer giving any stealth advantages. I know that in MP, it's different because of the human ear, but I'm not sure if it can apply in SP.

After all, when I snipe enemies from afar with the silenced rifle, they can still retaliate...if I use the rifle and an unseen enemy is around the corner, he'll hear the shot.

You were supposed to be stealthy in AoTCR and T&R?

I never got the point of the silenced SMG. You still had to get close to use it so whats the point in silencing it?

Yah the silencer never really did do anything. All my enemies knew my position after a few shots silenced or not. I still like it due to the fact I never liked the loud bang.

AI can not hear the silenced shot. I've used it many times. Do remember soon as you shoot someone, they will often say something or fire back, and everyone will hear it. It's usefull for ambushing grunts or jackals.

Or the covenant notices the dead body that just dropped next to them...

I just wonder how the covanant don't notice the smoke trail.........

The smoke trails were really placed on the sniper rounds by Bungie for the sake of game balance in multi-player. Without the trails, one could theoretically park themselves at a single vantage point and pick off everybody without ever being found. Aside from that, they probably put it on because it added a cool factor to the gun.

Sounds like Counter-Strike...

although the Magnum was particularly loud.

OT, sorry.

I was on youtube watching the video "Spartan Laser Reloaded" by CtrlAltDestroy of SPv2 and I seen the H2 Sniper rifle...I don't know what they will be using..I'm just saying I seen it there.

its probably the Zteam sniper. most likely a place holder

It has been repeatedly stated that all content in that video except the Spartan Laser is that of ZTeam and not CMT.

oh ok, thanks for clearing it up..i didn't know, i just watched it..lol

Covenant can be dumb sometimes... Will you guys fix the way Elites drive in Ghosts? They ram the walls so often, they can't fire at you at all. It makes it sort of stupid.
