you honestly cannot say that comment was not hateful

It's not pure hate, its the harsh truth.

It may or may not be the truth but it was stated in a hateful manner. It's a hateful gut punch at Masterz that is in no way justified. Why can't we all just get along and appreciate the fact that someone is actually attempting to breathe new life into a dated game?

because someone else is making a campaign that isn't lumoria, ew D:
to be honest, there were many problems with lumoria, but posting them would probs result in "that's your interpretation" or "too late to fix that now" or "its teh onleh campegn tat is oranginal" or "cheers and drunken posting" or "compared to what, the original halo 1 campaign? even though I say it can't surpass the original halo campaign, I am going to flaunt lumoria like it's baby jesus"

It's all about perspective.

powerpuff was a girly show, your a girlly girl



That is simply fantastic, thank you for posting and pointing out errors in such detail allowing us to fix the ones that you found are wrong. You are truly a very helpful man.

In all seriousness however, Lumoria did have its issues here and there, but so does plenty of other campaigns out there, and SPv2 / 3 is no exception. You can hate the project all you want based on the people that made it but that doesn't change the quality of work they create, and sure doesn't make their "competition" (so to speak) any better. For example, I personally find DSali to be a complete butthole, but damn that mans shader work is fantastic and his knowledge creating them is far more expansive then most others in the community.

Waffle's a girl?

lol, as if others didn't try on the official thread (and got shot down, no less)
I am not saying CMT or lumoria or whatever is the best campaign/piece of map ever, I'm just saying that lodeman has been going around with posts dripping with insults. lodeman (or lodex, apparently) may say he does not intend for his posts to be insulting, but he sure posts them in the worst way possible, then denies ever posting them out of spite or in an insulting manner. why not let him defend himself?

waffles is a waffle.Duh!

Its interpretation man, if he sounds like an butthole to you then that's great, what you should be looking at is the truth within his posts. I can personally say after working with L0d3x for the past 3 - 4 years (no idea how long its been) that it really is all about interpretation when it comes to him and text. It's very different if you were to talk to him on say Skype, and, that if you get to know him, hes a pretty decent guy.

And no, people did not get "shot down" within the Lumoria release thread. Perhaps go back and look within it yourself since your memory seems to be a bit hazy.

Seeing as how text-based communication offers no visual or verbal cues, interpretation is all anybody has. If it's interpreted as troll-ish by so many people so often, the logical conclusion would be to alter the way he communicates, so as to avoid any misunderstandings.

what if he sounds like a butthole to a lot of other people? is it just their interpretation too, or is he being a butthole? also, PLEASE do not ask me to provide a list of shot down quotes, as I doubt people would appreciate me posting half a page's worth of quotes.

Reread my post, please.





Please, make my day.

Quit belittling each other guys. Do something productive rather than bicker.

I've actually been making stamps for mudbox using World Machine this entire time for another project!



Lol wow, are you devoting your life to cut down on people on Halomaps? It's also note worthy that alot of the posts that you "included" in your little text file are decent responses to the ones that were claimed by others.

ironic, coming from you. considering how easily those quotes were to find, I'm surprised you would go so far as to say "life". but wait, that's your job. gg

Last I checked, I've done more for this community then you have, as in creating multiple tutorials on workflows and how to do things, created numerous maps, even a couple with good ol Disaster up there, even worked with CMT at one point, and went on to lead a team of people that created one of the best Single Player campaigns located on this website. So no, my "life" at Halomaps isn't devoted to cutting people down, only idiots like you who have no idea what they are talking about.

And no, my job is a boat technician at my family owned boat repair shop. Good day sir

I go to make one forge map on halo 4 and look what happens, I miss an entire flame war! I'm crushed that you guys would plunge this forum closer to the depths of internet hell without me! D:

and Higuy, I want your job :P

Just imagine if everyone stopped posting pointless posts on this thread; how much work everyone could get done without checking this post periodically to continue the cycle of pointless posts. Just think how many people will be happy with excellent projects completed FASTER!

they'd just find another distraction/excuse

at least...that's what I'd do XD

well im pretty confident regardless of who posts here cmt is doing their work on something else like aim messenger or something so...

Regardless, this is all pretty ridiculous haha! Someones going to post work and then everyone will return to talking on subject. (The Scientific Cycle of Forum Posts)

Nick, this is Halomaps.

This is HALOMAPS. Thus, you can not expect it to behave in a fashion dissimilar to its nature.

Besides, this is half of the reason I log on every day. This pointless banter makes me feel better about myself.

Though on a note, I dissaprove of anybody who doesn't listen to people with proper arguments. Even if those people have done absolutely nothing for Halo Custom Edition, a lot still have valid points.

Haha wow, if this is what you need to do to feel better about yourself then I feel sorry for you mate!!

@Master Noob: I hereby invite you for a cup of coffee at my place. There's no need for such hatred in this world. LegionofShadows, you're invited too :-)

I don't just mean any ordinary cup of coffee, I'm talking George Clooney Nescafé coffee.

you need to work a lot on your timing. add a low beat or even just a few hi hats, cymbals, pitch bends or something to spice it up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzh0pIFVB00&feature=youtu.be
a remix of some halo effects with dubstep, trance beats violins etc, just threw that together earlier
and fired it on the tube.

sorry for the off topic in your thread guys.

Yeah well, I want my cusions job. I works on boats, but thats any type of boat. My uncle owns a performance boat repair shop however, and gets to work on things like this normally:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7u0LZvb-Hk

Just an example but yeah.

you aren't getting the idea behind the term remix.
btw the beats are not spaced by 1 bar either.

it was showing timing between changes but i see you didn't grasp that ahwell no point in telling you anything mr i'mpro lol

your ignorance was half expected, grab some of these and sort them ears out.

lol Aye, sure just overlap a few tracks with no thought of the changes to highs and lows
and call it a remix.
There is no argument but do not see my response as a sign of weakness on the subject,
at least blend low with low and high notes with high and fade, a remix is obviously your own choice
of how the final will sound, but if the timing is also out then it doesn't sounds half as good as it could.

i did however laugh at being told you were helped with your post response.
anyway yeah do your own thing sure :)

by any chance is there a picture worthy model of the skirmisher?

I forgot we even talked about it in the OP. We have AI for them, but no model or actual tags (we're using the elite model and anims for placeholders). So nothing to show, and no guarantee they'll be included..

Well it didn't take me long to follow CMT tradition and break my promise. Ha ha ha. I know I promised every two weeks a new weapon, however, some hard work behind the scenes with CMT and school managed to get in the way pretty quickly. I promise to do my best to continue every two weeks from now on, but only time will tell if I do.

Now that that's out of the way, I present to you the CMT Rocket Launcher:



The Rocket Launcher has actually been final for a long time. The model was rather quick to make, but sat around for quite a while before being textured. It came at a time when we as CMT were really trying to figure out what we wanted our art set to be like. As I've suggested in my previous posts, we've come together and decided that we want to stay as true to the Halo universe by taking elements from other games and adding our little touches. This model was a mix of the Reach rocket launcher and the original Halo rocket launcher, among a few other details added for looks. I say it was a quick model because it consists of very simple shapes, but still makes an interesting object in game.



Gameplay is as you would expect it to be: Aim, Fire, Repeat. It's a classic to the Halo arsenal and continues to be a lot of fun to use. I also can't show off this model without of course giving credit to Dano's amazing texture work, I can only hope I can start to get close to his amazing work on the future weapons you will see.



Please enjoy this demonstration of the Rocket Launcher, and of course, we're always open to hearing your opinions.

Can you explain to me why you think that the rocket launcher would be difficult for the Master Chief to swing?

As for my rendering, it's a phong shader with 75 spec, 25 gloss and a bunch of lights casting shadows.

Its Altheros, you probably shouldnt waste your time :P

Rocket launcher, so beautiful...
Puts a smile on my face!
