Halo Wars Continued

I'd like to see this, because it was never planned to be used throughout the game, and it was never removed.

I distinctly remember one of the new features in H3 was RTR. That's partly why it was in the announcement trailer- it was meant to be in the game itself.

Later, they said that it was more effective to just use custom cubemaps, as there would be almost no discernible difference except in cutscenes (where they would use RTR again)

Frankie or some other dude basically said Bungie considered it a waste of resources. Support for it is allegedly still enabled, though.

I could swear it was in the level Cortana during the cutscene where the chief resuces Cortana...

[Hotrod]

It's still there, but only in cutscenes, so yes, when he rescues Cortana, there is some RTR.

I don't remember seeing it in that cutscene. MB my friend didn't have a hard drive or something on his Xbox?

[Hotrod]

No, it's there. You see it at the end when Cortana goes back into his helmet.

[Masterz1337]

Anythign that isn't geometry reflected in the helmet is RTR. Lights for example.

Dude, what I'm saying is that I haven't see it. I've seen the screenshots with Cortana reflected in MC's visor, but I haven't seen it whilst playing on a friend's box.

[Hotrod]

Oh, I misunderstood what you meant, sorry about that.

[Botolf]

NP. The whole thing makes me wonder if the effect doesn't show up on consoles without hard drives (No idea if my friend had one, but that's the only difference-maker I can think of).
