This is Halo, not.. whatever that is. All of our content is rooted in previous designs with our own spin. You're not going to see an replica of the H4 Mantis in the mod, but it's unlikely you'll see something that looks jarringly different than what you'd expect from a Halo game.

If anything cmt makes some very astounding tags (regardless if they're original). BTW, am I the only one wanting another ma5k? It could be replaced with an automatic dmr.

Just for proof that dmr can be auto.



look at the fire mode selection

The DMR is actually an assault rifle/a battle rifle.

No one expected the Mantis, but pretty much everyone I know loves it's inclusion. CMT has always been about making custom assets from existing Halo fiction, and fusing it with what made Halo 1's combat so much fun. This philosophy was thrown out for A50.

I'm going to decline saying much more on A50's release, as I don't wish to bring up internal CMT politics, but there were a lot of people in the team who deeply disagreed with the decisions made on it and didn't want to participate in it, myself included.

Edit: The SPV3 DMR actually is automatic, much like the H1 pistol was. However, while automatic is has a very slow ROF, and is inaccurate when the trigger is held down.

Why bother having it on automatic then?

Just to make it a bit more different than our other headshot weapons. You get the same effect as spamming the trigger when holding it down, its just less annoying and arcady to hold it down for the same effect.

If repeating your opinion this many times has not brought about the changes you want, I don't think more repetition is going to do the trick.

Which is rather sad that people won't take other people's opinions into account. Especially if this entire thing is to be released to satisfy other people

I don't think maps/mods should be made to please others, but rather to make yourself happy. If other people are pleased by it then it's just a plus.

Depends on your goals and state of mind. Sure if your just doing this for fun, and for a hobby you can do it for your own satisfaction. But when your working on something big and are looking for it to be well received and have a decent audience, then one would hopefully develop a final product that did take input from people, but to an extent. (some people have wacky ideas and whatnot that obviously wouldent work). You gotta know what will suit all and not just one.

Very wise, my friend, very wise. Add me on XFire plz?

You cannot take everyone's opinion into account. Everyone cannot be satisfied, and time should not be wasted trying to appease the minority.

Actually, there are plenty of people who enjoy using the mantis, myself included. It is an interesting vehicle that is well balanced in the sandbox and changes up gameplay a fair amount, especially with the stomping ability.

What you are saying is not accurate.

5000 has a point, it's been a year, and if I remember correctly, we were supposed to be seeing the next installment last august

when can we expect another release?

I think someone to go as far as to make this thread and consistently show off is looking for people to like the work they have done, whether they admit it or not.

I can see someone who just made a map and then uploaded it to Halomaps and not really care what happens to it was doing it for themselves, but someone who trys to gain a lot of attention to their map cares what other people think. Just saying "I'm doing this for myself" I think it a rather stupid statement for someone who's gone this far with advertising their project. If this project gets a severely negative feedback, the creators would be probably disappointed.

You don't speak to alot of non-CMT members do you?

I kinda miss the MA5K too. It was one of the weapons I was looking forward to in SPV3. But oh well...

I was referring to it being not expected in H4. But as it turns out, most people on the team think its pretty cool we can pull it off.

I like the Mantis in Campaign/Spartan Ops, but in MP it's just too overpowered and hard to kill. Unless you have an incineration cannon, which is really rare.

There are plenty of people outside of CMT who like the Mantis.

Also, have you even played Halo 4 yet? or are you still going off of Higuy's information.

What bs... Its all about how you play the game, if you choose not to use a plasma pistol in your load outs, then its your own fault that you're being destroyed by the mantis. You cant expect your team (unless ffa) to have a plasma pistol to take it out the mantis or other 'overpowered' vehicles.

You're like the biggest Halo fanboy ever, you love everything that has the name Halo...you know it's true :-)
As for me and Halo 4, we talk every week...you know the answer. Also, you need to get me some textures if you still want to participate in our new project... Thanks!

It was a completely legitimate statement. There are people outside of CMT who like the mantis, just as there are people outside of CMT who don't. We also haven't discussed Halo 4 in weeks, if not a month or more. Once again, I asked a question, because I'm not sure whether you have played it or not.

You don't have to be a Jerk about it...jeez...

Or, people (cough)lodeman(cough) can stop crying and put some faith in CMT.

that's asking a lot, esp considering upload time

I see one man crying. Pardon, I see one boy crying.
This boy, is you. A true hater. I almost feel honored by your continued harassments and nasty PMs! :-)
Keep it up hater :p

People have opinions, coincidentially I find CMT manages to take alot of bad decisions (which is why I broke off from them long ago), that doesn't mean I can't voice them. I'm not the only one here who challenges their decisions either, just read this and the last page. On the flipside, there are people that support them. That's always the way things are. Its feedback to them from alot of different perspectives.

Inb4 more hateful PMs, cheers!

The problem is, You never friggin' STOP voicing your opinions.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Criticism is a great tool. Often, its good to have an outside perspective.

Ftfy.

But an "outside perspective" that never shuts up, and constantly puts others down while acting like he's the best mapper in the world? Not so good.

Oh, whoa, wow.
At first I didn't like you for your continuously sarcastic and completely biased opinions, but NOW, I realize that I don't like you for your character flaws AND the fact that you are a complete liar.
Congratulations, your rep with me, a newcomer, has been completely and irredeemably destroyed.

^ surprisingly accurate

the drama going on in this forum would make a politician blush

Lumoria was good for an original campaign, though the voice acting is no offense crap, but it's still nice. but so what if CMT just wants to remake levels? why should you care? Just don't download the maps if you don't like them.

Lmao. Always the same people.
