I'm telling you, the block ammo is just a gigantic Crystal, shaking the needler breaks up the block into crystal shards, thus the needles

Or liquifies it and reshapes it.

but if it liquifies the needles, wouldn't that make the needles smooth and consistent in shape? (which they are not)

If it did cut the ammo into pieces,we'd be able to hear it.
Crystallization,perhaps?

what about the shearing sound the needler makes when you reload it?

ok this solves it, its a glowing ball of playdough

I dunno, when ever I see needler needles, my mind goes straight to rock candy (boiling sugar is painful)

I think of sharp quartz.

My mind use to go to rock candy, before i visited the quarts crystal mines in Arkansas. Now that was a fun vacation. And so many shiny souvenirs :3

I tend to think of Geodes but usually think of long crystalline shards chasing any living organism down.

to me it seems like this, the ammo is a liquid that when it reacts to electricity or chemical in the needler it turns into a solid. And the needles are also use that same chemical to distinguish friend or foe bases on maybe a sensor in the needler, after reading about engineers and such i think that with forerunner technology implemented it is quite possible to do this.

you mean like ferro fluid ?

Kind of, except ferrofluid work because of magnets; Dumb AI's idea would replace with that with electricity (which is a pretty good idea, too P:)

lol whoops sorry about that post in vehicles thread. Ill just repost here so Dennis can delete that. :P

Anyway, guys. I just had the BEST idea. We need to make THIS...



...into a throwable grenade.
It would be a sticky grenade, and when you get stuck, instead of getting the whining sound all you would hear is

HELLO!!! :D

LAND MINE TURTLE!

yesss.

Verily. Yes. I am waiting.

I had same idea before. Im looking forward to this project.

project?
It would literaly be as simple as making a simple model, duplicating the faces and using the push modifier, inverting, and making black texture for the outlines. then all is needed is taking the hello clip from ASDF 5... or the mine turtle song and adding the clip as the stuck sound. then just replace the model and the sounds in the plasma grenade.

I may just do it because I am bored.

If someone can get the sound that would be awesome. I have no idea what I am doing when compiling sounds. Also, we should see if we can get the part in the song's chorus when he says "MINE TURTLE!!" for the sound played when the grenade is thrown so that way you can get the epicness of hearing him say that and then all of a sudden you hear HELLO!! xD
OMG this would be so funny. I am working on the model now.

lol, just as I am writing this I just thought that you could have the explosion sound be a continuation of the song then have it fade out after a couple seconds.

lol nvm this may be a project. Who wants to help me with this?!
This may be the most epic idea ever.

I could make the sounds. I will do it tomorrow ok?

lol awesome. I am working on the model as we speak. This is gonna be hilarious.

what about the MP map for HPMT?

that's curently on a little bit of a hold. I have a few things for it but they aren't quite put together, but I am currently finishing a project with someone else.

Anyway, here is what I got so far. May be final, not like it needs to be crazy awesome, it will be small and it's sort of meant to look crappy anyway. That is why it's awesome! :D

Fix his neck D:

EDIT!
these will do for now: http://www.mediafire.com/?vp8x7a1o85v4nwy

EDIT!2
That button (or w/e its called) is high poly compared to rest of the model. I would suggest making larger parts higher poly than smaller. You sir dont seem to take our project very seriously!

because inaccurate weapons need laser sight.

for a project I plan on working on.

Not really.
You could go without it.The laser might be kind of bad,especially if you aim at place where your target can see it.

You have to aim at his eyes.

But the target would be blinded by the laser.
And it's a dead give-away that someone wants to shoot you.

That's how red dot sights work... You know when you're screwed :P

In Halo (especially when you need stealth), I guess that would be a bad thing...
However, as an all-purpose gun, I don't think the AR needs to be that stealthy?

It's not a red dot sight.
It's a laser pointer attached to a gun.

A red dot sight doesn't project a visible beam of light as far I know.

Neither does a laser pointer. Unless there's smoke\fog\steam the only noticeable sign is a dot on the wall. Unless you get one with extremely high power, in which case the laser would burn the target. Making you even more noticeable. Lol.

Alright, a laser pointer... ...sure, thanks for the correction.


PS: This is why you don't see a giant cone of light when you're using a screen projector, and
a "projected" hologram is impossible. Just sayin' :P

it's neither; it's a render effect designed to be recognizable as a laser sight of some sort instantly. if the red line wasn't there, it could have been a flashlight or a camera or whatever.

A red dot sight looks a lot more different than that laser thingy.
It's more like a scope.Kind of like this:

Not sure it's the right thing but I think it is.
The dot appears only on the lens.

HELLO! Turtle r awesome.
