So when do you guess this will be released? Ooo, just cant wait for target practise on birds
So what plans for weapons in SP?
Sorry for mentioning energy swords in the CMT tags, I still regret not having read the stickies
So will there be stuff like beam rifles, covie carbines, etc Halo2 weapons in SP? Great Phantom, though the Scarab looks a bit too thin.

lol ross, no it's not. It's literally copying one of the channels from the extracted normal map, copying it as a layer on the diffuse texture, and setting overlay blend to fakebump it, then going in with burn and dodge tool to make highlights and shadows to unfail the bitmap, then copying the guns specular map from the alpha of the diffuse texture as a new RGB bitmap then overlaying a greyscaled of the diffuse texture onto that, then overlaying the same normal map channel used earlier ontop of that, and making it coloured pink/purple and colouring things green and shit for glow and crap accordingly. The only people who know the amount of effort put into painting a model from scratch are the ones who've done it.

It's seriously like 10 minutes work in my eyes. Does look good though.

yes.

but rossum does have a point.
just ripping gives you total crap.
it takes work to make it look decent.

[Masterz1337]

Not quite.

Ripping alone results in shit. The amount of work they've had to do to get them looking that good is almost comparable to just making it from scratch.

Not at all, there's no real skill in "sexifing" H2 textures. Personally, I think all the shaders but the environments looks like :-\, but thats what happens when you use ripped content. What makes Zteam so impresive is the sheer amount scripts and animations to me.

My jaw dropped so hard it hurts.

L33T, ShadowSpartan and ChokingVictim; you guys are awesome. It looks great, and even though I wanted to make a long ass post of how awesome it is, I can't, but I can say it is awesome. Fuck :o

Also, that Phantom is so sexy, it gives Jessica Alba a run for her money... No wait it doesn't, nothing beats Jessica :v

Pics do alot of justice, but do we have a chance to see it in motion, other than the Beam Rifle?

[ICEE]

i agree with that. id like to see other weapons in action, since the beam rifle is my least favorite weapon in h2. idk its model is just unattractive, impractical for a rifle. plus, why have a purple gun? anyways...
