OH! I remembered what i was going to ask everyone!! :D Ok..... Who here sorta liked the Cmt Spv1 feeling and wanted it in Spv3? I know Just the thing that will almost or maybe even give the old feeling of spv1 back into CMT's campaign! But first let me see how many people would like the v1 feeling back before i say what it is. Just say I if yes and NAY for no or something like that....

Nay

SPV3 needs to be it's own independant mod rather than following SPV1's example.

Well it's one of the only thing that i really actually liked about spv1 that non of the other had.
It probably won't give it a full spv1 feel but it'll make spv3 in my opinion much better in it's own way.

Just say what it is. You don't need to set up a poll to give a suggestion; it's annoyingly impractical.

Well what I thought that made v1 different because you get spartan allies. That is one the only thing that i liked about version 1. I would enjoy the mod more if we get spartan allies. So can we get spartan allies? :3 Just not as much as in version 1.

well there were some badass spartan ai (by badass I mean very smart) that I used to have, they were released as a project then I improved upon them, so if cmt does reincorporate spartans and needs a good ai brain, I could always donate that...

where can i find easter eggs the only on i found was the partygun and it was via devmode then i gave it to keyes it was lol situatiion

There are a few weapons hidden in the same manner as the Partygun (just look around and be creative and you'll get to them). All are reachable without using cheats or devmode. There is also another egg which some people have found which is in the same area as one of the hidden weapons, though I'm not sure if anyone knows its full extent yet...

one thing are all the easter eggs in the covenant ship bsp's or there is any in the snowy outdoor bsp?and nice work teh lag and your cmt comrades its very nice the only thing i regret is the lack of the custom bsp's but that's the price of making you release it this day nice anyway keep this work

They can be found throughout the level.

then dang, i've just found the party gun and cheer carbine ... tips please ...

hey, can we get a tutorial on how to get such amazing results on things using OS? I have no clue how you got vanilla objects like the grunt looking so amazing using just normals and spec maps. Also how did you get the outdoor environments to look as good as they did? some kind of post processing? like a tint? I'd really like to know how to do most of this well.

We're all kind of burned out from release so don't expect it imminently but yes, we'll be putting out that sort of thing soon.



There are some videos on Youtube showing off most of them - I think there is only one weapon that has not been found there yet.

The exteriors use no OS extensions. It's all really good textures, really good modeling, and really good lighting done in max.

Will there be spartan allies?

that is a good question.

Well because i thought they were doing there own thing and just sorta going around the story line but still try to stay close to it at the same time. Look at spv1. Spartans. Did anyone complain about that? I don't think so. I just think it'll make the game play more fun with other Spartans running around too and not just you. And when i mean have spartan allies, i mean put only a few in between levels or something. Like you get one following you around in the assault on the control room...well.... Untill he dies of course. That will be pretty cool in my opinion.

But it gets rid of the emotion that he's the last of his kind.

And, seriously, we don't really need spartans on it.

What the hell. In shot the flying flood captain with my sniper when it was trying to attack me and I got teleported back to the start where I saw a bunch of flood captains in a circle surrounding a paper faced captain...

Same here. These guys have the weirdest Easter eggs...

I like how creepy and scary it is.

Oh, while you're at that, could you actually change the AR's ready to the updated one? I had actually sped up the current ready to be less awkward (like it is now). If that one is still bad though, which it might be, then go back to the original one if I still have it. It's the one pretty much based off of yours from SPv2.

I think the Carbine Elite majors are firing their weapons too fast, like you may have accidentally given them the firing speed for a needler or plasma rifle.
So the ones in the control room obliterated my ODSTs in seconds.

The suppressed battle rifle didn't really do it for me. For some reason, I like the fact that you can hear the firing...

Plus, the shooting on it is way too fast. Now I can't strafe the grunts...

Anyway, I hope that was just a stealth mission variant, because otherwise...

Me get angry.

Then the AI people did a great job?
XD

One thing I didn't like was the lag. I did all the things to reduce it, but it still lagged. It's as if all the suggestions didn't change it at all. And I played it on both my crap computer, and good computer. Same results.

Well something was lagging it nonetheless, the transition from the choppy outdoors to the interior was quite noticeable unfortunately. And I think some of the lighting was done a bit too well, since it's really too dark to actually notice much of the BSP improvements :p

I like how the Assault Rifle feels now, feels better than the one you guys had on sp-v2

Have people with lag tried the .map version? If it means that you have reduced lag, then OS is the cause. If it makes no difference, your computer just can't handle a mod of this scale, whether OS is in use or not.

If you seriously can't handle a mod of this scale, then lower your graphics and audio settings to lowest. There's no reason for CMT to even try to improve performance for you if your computer's actually that bad. It'd be very hard, unless Halo's portaling system actually works well(Which I somehow doubt due to the fact it's extremely old).

Just stop talking..

Why? I have just as much right to post on these forums as you, Lodex.

I don't care what you think of my posts. I seriously could not care less. :)

Then why make the effort to remark on it?

You basically said that CMT should not optimize their mod, and any lag that you as the player is your fault and not the mod, which is really stupid.

No I said they probably CAN'T optimize their mod.
I also said it is the fault of the player's hardware if they can't handle the mod. You could easily just turn all of the graphics and sound settings down. If you can't handle decent graphics though, that's your hardware's problem, not CMT's problem.

so by that logic game industries should stop making pc games have better and better graphics so that the poor don't have to buy new computers

while what you say may be the RIGHT thing to do, jaz has a point in saying you have to either choose graphics or optimization, in which graphics will almost always be the victor. Just ask Bethesda
