I know I just quoted this across several pages... but just as an idea... if there's any tag space available, I think some trees spread out, and some burnt up from the ship crashing would be kind of neat... just saying, I like it though.

What the hell is the issue, it's a mod for a game. Don't like it, change it yourself. Get over it and play, shit.

You might be onto something there...

While the stock Maw atmosphere is all about desolation and forbodes the end of the [ring]world, might I suggest something to get a similar point across? Give it a graveyard-ish atmosphere. Modify the sky with more clouds, slightly darker, with trees spread about. Peaceful (if the Autumn hadn't crashed), yet gloomy.

Make it feel like this is THE final resting place. A different metaphor with a similar point.

More thoughts edit:
Scenery trees would take up tag slots, and perhaps would be reserved for LOLHUEG trees. Perhaps edit the BSP directly to add in something that looks like forests (even if it's like fake puffy trees).

Keep in mind the sheer size of the Pillar of Autumn.

If people don't like it they can shut up or make another thread about it which I won't read.

With what polar bear said, I absolutely LOVED the backround on Prime, it gave it a feeling of an imminent impending doom and you knew you would die if you didn't finish in time. Could add something quite similiar and modified to give it the natural "the end; The damages are great, the threat is even greater, and it's all up to you." feeling we all love to feel when playing a game as the one and only spartan.

But hey, I don't mind it if you want to keep it that way because it looks pretty...

I like the idea of adding a fov changer to the 3rd Person view on the Extras.

And one more thing, that Time button. It's kind of annoying that it freezes the viewing animation along with the greatness of having everything frozen.... Anyway to fix that up?

My worry is that something like SPV1's problems on d40 would show up again-- Halo doesn't like med-poly far away BSP things, and seems to make random triangles vanish.

Watch in HQ the very far parts of the POA (At 0:08-0:015 or so) and the surrounding detritus and it'll be pretty clear what my problem is with adding more stuff to that scene.

God I fucking love that sky... I wanna play the last level again

bbl.

That issue was caused by the poor portaling of the level after the BSP was modified. It was 10x worse when it was first put in-game.

i agree with polar bear, give it some trees in the background, kinda like a30's background trees, but better looking
