both old pics.

looking at the first post helps...

I prefer the regular Halo 1 glow on the sword, but it looks nice nonetheless.

Yeah, that corona was the Energy Sword's crowning beauty. It was a shame to see it go in Halo 2, especially when it looked so nice in the E3 demo.
I guess they wanted to emphasize the fact that the plasma was self-contained within the magnetic field.

Sword looks nice. I still want to know something about the release date. I can't wait, I'm dying to know.

How are the gun sounds?

Enhanced? Completely changed?

I sound very picky, but I think that making the sounds as top-notch as they can be will make CMT's mod much more enjoyable. Are you guys going to replace the Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle's sounds with the ones from Halo 3? For example, converting the video file to an audio, then cutting out the specific gun sound in goldwave, then sending it through tool? Personally, those new sounds are much more crisp than before, wouldn't you guys agree? Unless of course, cutting the sounds from Bungie's betalicious video and using it in CE is illegal... ;_;

But the sounds are still almost entirely unrealistic... WTF is this crappy pinging noise on the BR55, and the double clap sound on the MA5C and SMG? Bullets make a clean, crisp, staccato report, unlike what is portrayed in video games. I mean, yeah, sure, full auto is going to have a lot of sounds, but you should still be able to hear a clean crisp report for each round, not the mushy noise you get from the BR55 and M7 SMG in Halo 2, or the MA5B in Halo 1. Outdoors, it should pop then echo, and inside, it should be a loud-azz bang, varying depending on the size of the room.

If you want to know what the MA5C should sound like, go shoot the M24 sniper rifle in Battlefield 2...both the MA5C and the M24 fire the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, so it should be almost the same (albeit with slight variations due to barrel length, and action shape, flash hiders (which the MA5C and M24 both lack), and the type of operation used on the gun (gas-operation on MA5C, manual bolt-action on the M24)).


Sorry, I've been itching to say that about video games for a long time. Graphics and game play aside, it is rare that you get good firearm sound effects from a game. BF2 and the original Red Orchestra mod are the only ones to ever get it right in my experience.

i too am concerned about the sound. SMG's always sound like your making popcorn. even the true-to-H2 ones

[Warsaw]

The M7 should sound like something in between an H&K MP7 and an FN P90, seeing that the bullet is 5x23mm, where as the P90 and MP7 are 5.7x28mm and 4.6x30mm respectively.

the br sounds are absolutely amazing. i love those sounds. i have yet to hear the smg sound alone (without that damn spiker that everyone uses all the time).

Wow, you sure know a lot about guns... In plus, it wouldn't be as cool, in my opinion, if the guns didn't make much noise when you shot them.

the pics weren't there before I posted, what's up with the Jackal plasma rifle?? it's got 192 Battery?...I can accept that. Nice update
