T&R IS OUT!

I am the first poster. I'm awesome.

gonna play through soon then give review

FTFY

Dennis, WAKE UP!

Somebody hack Dennis's alarm clock! Mediafire's terrible!

but I was first to post that it was released

I just realised the long download time's just my connection. Probably my idiot brother downloading Family Guy or House or some random secret agent show AGAIN. There's VIDEO STREAMING in this day and age for goodness' sake! That way it wouldn't steal all the bandwidth!

We're uploading to Halomaps within the next day, don't get too antsy.

This is awesome guys, I havn't played it yet but I'll be a happy camper when I do.
its pretty cool to think that you guys got this far without leaks or serious trolls this time around.
I was really hoping this day would come.

Thank you CMT.
Keep up the hard work and make SPv3 the game that SPv2 could have never been!

I have 2mb/s connection.

My download's running at about 50 kb/s on average.

My brother's computer hijacks most of the bandwidth as soon as he starts downloading anything for some reason. Probably Vista being greedy.

I have plenty to whine about ;)

43.5Mbps.

Problem, Comrades?

I see your 43.5Mbps and I reply with a....

HOLY MACCARONI!!!

YSUSUSUSUSUSUSUUSESSSSSS
GONA PLAI WRAIT NAO

My connection gives me 40-60Mbps while my dad gets 100 on his wired.

My connection's fixed itself.

About to play SPV3 any minute now :D



P.S. Prediction: A new version of OS will come out in the next hour and then you'll have to download SPV3 AGAIN just to get it working.

I have 12.50 Mbps
and a really nice computer,
AND IM NOT EVEN GOING TO DOWNLOAD IT ANYTIME SOON MUAHAHAHAH THE ULTIMATE TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL i dont have halo ce installed yet rofl, and im going to a halo 1 lan tonight so i dont have the time to MUAHAHHA

I don't think having a 10 year old computer is considered a "really nice computer."

Great job guys, going to download as soon as I get home.

Dennis only stays awake for mods he's worked on like Lumoria

JK, Dennis, get this stuff up man!

The map, mod, and OS features look amazing! Great work CMT!

Just got home, downloading now. How is the backwards compatible version, guys?

Played it, gotta say, you didn't undersell the visuals one bit. I use OS a lot now and still can't understand how you got the ai looking so good, namely the h1 grunts. Is it the spec maps? because I use normals but they don't end up looking near as good as those grunts. Brutes also were extremely three dimensional looking, and did you spruce up their animations? they move and die very fluently.

All that said, I do have some criticism

gameplay was a little off, some things need definite rebalance. guns like the shotgun would wipe out enemies from distances that are a bit much for a cq weapon, while other weapons required a bit more skill to get a kill. ODSTs seem a little too weak, it didn't really feel like I was going in with back up. Plus in halo humans were always better than covenant on the ground, but there were quite a few situations where if you didn't constantly hold their hand in combat they'd get massacred, which is a DEEP contrast. I also missed the lack of classic cmt content, especially since there was no brg. I'm pretty sure the brute plasma pistol was really the only cmt original in this whole mod. Big let down, and it made the mod very uninteresting and dull for me. Also it doesn't seem like you've put a lot of work into the ship interiors, so they greatly contrasted with the high res....everything else :p. It kinda made me feel sick. ANYWHO, the melee animation for the plasma rifle is kinda clunky and...how should I put this........uhhh...uggle. Also showing the player's weapon in the cutscene is cool and I love the concept, but master chief put a brute shot deep into his collar bone while listening to keyes... :/ . On the subject of keyes, kinda disappointed you didn't at least use the blood shot green eyes from spv1, or his suit. Also, it's clear you didn't really do anything to him or the marine faces. They're like paper compared to all the glossy high res content in the map. The least you could've done is slapped some normals on him. But I'm sure that's going to be taken care of in the future. Also I'm guessing you haven't gotten in the completely new bsp's that will extend the levels gameplay, and I'm kinda disappointed I didn't get to see them. But they'll come with time. In all honesty it didn't feel like cmt at all, and I mean that in a bad way. I really hate the lack of custom content and these flashy graphics didn't make up for it in the last bit. I didn't have that shock and awe I had when I played spv1 or ASCM when I experienced all the completely fresh and new weapons like brg and silenced smg. While I'm mentioning the weapons, I noticed you only did one reload for each weapon, which feels kinda weird. I'm used to a reload full and reload empty animation, and I was bummed you took the easy way out and only did one reload per weapon. Also I thought we were to have multiple melee animations? Have you not incorporated those yet?

Overall, I am kinda-sorta dissapoint (not that you overhyped it, I just don't feel this style you're trying is really cmt material)

Now, for a little more gratification:

I really liked the brute's power armor effects, WELL DONE. those really blew my mind. But can you have maybe a sort of energy depletion effect so I know when to stop spraying my bullets? there's not really a clear death indicator.

I also liked the new sounds. I'm really a sound maniac so that was truly awesome.

The weapons looked great, it was like I was holding gold XD

also I was looking through the OS settings and saw some options (that didn't work) for corpse decals. Does this mean soon our enemies will actually have wounds on them in future updates? If yes then you just solved one of my biggest annoyances with all Halo games.

So to recap, impressed, but somewhat disappointed. Really needs that custom cmt flavor we (meaning the less recent non kiss-up fanboy users) have been used to seeing from cmt.

I know where it is, it's just that if I want pieces to be bunched together, then bunched together they shall be

what the corpse decals do is make it so corpse bleed when you shoot them melee them ETC so when you turn it off they don't bleed

wellllll

I am dissapoint D:<

CMT.... I found something wrong with your spartan model and i was wondering if you guys will fix this problem or not that it really matters because no one else will see it in the campaign.

Thanks for point that out - since we haven't uploaded to Halomaps yet we actually can fix small things like this; a few other minor bugs have already been noticed and repaired. But, more on that tomorrow...

Well, Delicon, it actually isn't the final version. The final version shall come out when the last level comes out. PLUS, CMT said it would be unfinished. That they wanted to meet the deadlines. For which I am sorely dissapoint, but there's nothing I can do.

I'ma go play this, go in flycam and look at everything. I WILL find those easter eggs.

Don't waste your time :p. Scripts disable eggs when you use cheats.

Are you sure? Because I use the super jump cheat to get to the Super SubMachine Gun (which is awesome) and it was still there.

We must have missed that one. We'll probably fix that tomorrow.

I found the crazy Keys flood thing using fly cam...

found another easter egg a carbine that when you shoot makes marine noises.

wtf I can't find any

I pretty much agree with all of Delicon's criticism.

I was kind of disappointed with SPV3 too, though I haven't actually finished it yet.

So far, the gameplay's seemed kinda boring. The weapon's effects are really dull, especially for the sniper rifle. I would have actually preferred a less realistic sniper rifle with a slightly louder effect(Though not TOO loud). It would have seemed cooler imo.

The ODST are also very badly set up imo. They run in WAY too quickly. In the 'vanilla' campaign, the marines waited for at least three or four shots from the covies before they ran in. Now, the ODST charge in after even just a single shot from the covies. I CAN JUST HIDE AGAIN FOR GOODNESS' SAKES! Don't be so hasty!

The graphics look nice though. I just think you should have done a lot more work on gameplay. I suggest spending a lot less time on graphics and a lot more time on gameplay in your next release, whatever it may be.
