That's why you get a job and earn money for things you want. : /
My point is, don't complain about something that can't be helped. I can't call up Crytek and tell them to fix Crysis because my computer can't run it perfect. If I recall correctly, Masterz stated that the game was going to take a lot more to run this time around. It's not all the same stuff, so it can't be expected to run the same.
I wasn't complaining about the dodgy performance, I was pointing out that people have more important things to spend money on and the "just upgrade lol" mentality just serves to piss people off who literally can't afford it.
Well, I was playing and a bit before I got to the multplayer bsp area's I died. When I came back to life...the map lacked AI...at all. Nobody was home there after. I got all the way to the lift and the lift wouldn't move. I played through again, and the lift only went half way up...then from there I uh...ran up the side of the wall. I'm not sure if that was left in but I ran around the shaft walls.
Also a side note...why do brutes even have shields? I don't recall them ever having any...unless this was discussed somewhere else and I missed it...
What is the point of having a silenced pistol that really isn't that silent at all. Everybody is alerted anyways.
As far as the new bsp area is concerned...my only beef would be the lack of direction. The Boarding Action section was confusing. A little more help would be appreciated...maybe like an arrow decal every now and again on the walls would help.
I have never had my FPS go above 32 when playing Halo.
Ever. In the history of the universe.
- There are parts where my computer was lagging HORRIBLY, to the point where I had to spray and pray I would kill enough enemies to make my FPS shoot up again (notably the stairways).
- I had a funny rainbow of color which completely blotted out my monitor at times and made it impossible to see. If I hit pause while it's there, the rainbow of view-obscuring horror is behind the pause menu, as if it is supposed to be part of the game. It probably had nothing to do with SPV2, as it has happened on some MP maps before (just never a SP map).
Also, I never picked up an SMG the entire level (I never use the damn things, I've always preferred the AR), but I'm with Rossmum. Everything he has said in this thread is 100% true, and I wish I could rep him for it (need to spread).
I understand you are making this mod for your own enjoyment; however, if it is going to be TRULY for JUST your own enjoyment, then you should have never fucking said a word about it to the outside world and never should have made a single thread or post concerning it. If you aren't going to listen to the community, then you should never have had this beta for the "feedback" which you won't listen to.
I know your type, Masterz. You're the type who will get something completely awesome going, expecting to get a bunch of fanboys to stroke your e-peen. However, when people point out a flaw in said awesome thing which breaks gameplay (SMG) and 90% of said people want it CHANGED, you get all defensive as if they are attacking you personally, and refuse to change it.
In fact, as soon as anyone says anything critical about anything about you or it at all, you go apeshit on them.
The point of these feedback threads is to listen to the community, to see what they think. But I know your type, Masterz. This thread isn't REALLY to listen to the community, no. This thread is to get someone to stroke your e-peen for you, while you ignore the complaints both the community and your own TEAM MEMBERS have said.
Your type doesn't care about others and goes about fulfilling what they want to do without a care for anyone else, all in the hopes of getting the attention they want. I should know; I'm very much the same way. But I KNOW it, and I'm taking steps to change it.
You have not.
Masterz, you are NOT keeping the community alive with your actions. If I remember correctly, you lead the charge when it came to protecting maps and keeping things closed-source, meaning that any future modders for CE won't be able to use CMT's impressive tagwork as a guide. Recently, you turned down a feature which would have improved your mod tenfold, even with one of the best coders I've ever seen offering his help. Now you're being stubborn about every single bug the community reports in a thread about reporting bugs. Every one of these actions, however minor, has made/will make an impact on the community at large:
- Protection of maps: Less people being able to look at CMT tags for reference on how to do things. I find myself decompiling Bungie tags all the time when I'm learning things, but if I wanted to learn how to make, say, a BRG, I'd be stuck. By closing up your tagset, you made it so newbies don't have a good reference point to look at how to make new tags, and so they either recycle old ones or move on to another engine entirely, where everything IS open source.
- Open Sauce: You turned down Kornman's help for something which could have made your mod spectacular. Where's the low-gravity section of the PoA? Why is the map file HUGE? You say you don't have to deal with space restrictions anymore, so where's those Spartan-III's you cut due to space constraints? Or that hangar cutscene in the opening part of the PoA, also cut for space restraints? Flow my ass, it was a cool part of the level, and the opening cutscene isn't the same without it. SPV2 won't be as good as it could have been, it won't live up to all the hype, and people will just yawn and move on to some other game.
- SMG: You flat-out ignore what the community told you to fix to further what you want the mod to be, even if it makes the mod shittier. I thought you wanted the mod to appeal to as many people as possible, hence why you argued against Open Sauce? Doing this is exactly the opposite, adding "hypocrite" to your list of personality flaws. You are making the mod worse by doing this, and, again, it won't be able to live up to the hype.
I'm going to flat-out say it: CMT could be great; even greater than it is now. But it has a crappy choice of a leader, and, as such, it drags the entire team down.
If you really cared about CMT, hand the leadership down to someone who isn't in this for the e-peen, someone who doesn't participate in this just for the HBO mentions or to get an occasional nod from Bungie. Give it to someone who cares about the mod and is willing to listen. Teh Lag would be a good choice; he's already second-in-command. Arteen would be another good choice, as he has made the ONLY reasonable arguments supporting your side in ANY of the CMT threads (SMG, Open Sauce, MC's grenade pouch, the pistol's laser). Both are excellent leaders (hell, Teh Lag's a MOD), and CMT could achieve something FAR greater with someone like them on the helm. ANYONE on the team would be a better leader, to be honest.
I'm not trying to attack you, Masterz. I'm just telling you the painful truth, and nearly EVERY member here will agree with me, or has even made some of the same points before (listen to the first episode of the Modacity Podcast for an example).
I know you're just going to pick the tiny things out of this post to defend, like how I said you don't listen "every single bug" which the community reports, countering with the change to the AR you made and thus missing the point of this post entirely. I'm sure it's just due to something which isn't your fault. I mean, it CAN'T be.
I respect CMT, I really do. They are GREAT mappers, taggers, and animators. But they are dragged down by a pathetic leader. I'm not the first to say this, nor will I be the last, and this post will probably go just fall into oblivion. But Masterz, you need to listen. I used to respect you. I really did. I even felt sorry for you and the flood of fanboys you had to deal with. But then I started talking with other members of CMT, and then the whole shitfest with open sauce happened.
Now that respect's gone, and it's because of your actions. Now I feel sorry for you not because of the fanboys, but because of your ignorance towards everything.
tl;dr: If you are going to release it to the community, LISTEN TO THEM. You can have a separate version for yourself if you REALLY like it that much. Also, CMT needs a better leader.

another win post.
Regarding the part where you said, people will want to look at the tags, so they can make their own BRG.
Well, because CMT members know more or less everything and are really good at this shit, you should make a new tutorial rescource on how to make all of these type of things.
Things like these:
- BRG
- Bubble sheild and equipment like that
- How to make equipment be able to be picked up and thrown, and activated
- How to make an bitmaps color change when ammo is low
- How to make decent physics tags
- And a load of other basics.
The current tutorial website which is hosted on halomaps and here has brocken links all over it and does not really cover all of the new known ways of making weapons and equipment ect...
Regarding English's post though, Masterz he has a point, and clearly displays his point of view as he is pretty harsh. But CMT could be a LOT greater if they listened to the community a bit more.
The beta was decent, I don't really have complaints but I don't really care about the details. I don't really play the game much tbh Lol. I might finish playing the level soon.
to bring this up one last time, noob has a point i can neither afford upgrades or anything for awhile, i have like 5 bucks to my name and so far job hunting hasnt been yielding anything but no call bnacks :\
it was still a fun beta to play and i have to stand by what mobster said
I can sort of see the logic behind keeping things locked up - while it might not help the community, it also prevents some shithead from stealing all your hard work and releasing butchered versions under their name, which is the thing that worries me the most about embarking on any projects in any game - but that's not the worst thing. The way CMT is doing the most damage is merely by existing. Some of the community's best are involved, and as long as they're on CMT, they're not going to be able to devote a whole lot of time to anything else. We're stuck with CMT, a couple of good maps which are in the works but won't be arriving in too much of a hurry, and a whole shitload of rubbish.
