At ce3 I heard masters say we can expect the first wave of maps, when?

The first wave of SPV3 maps will drop 2-3 months after TSC:E is released.

any idea when tsc:e is coming then?

He announced we can expect to see b40 in the first wave of maps, not that we can expect the first wave of maps

Oopps I dropped this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74FZPtFqMXM

I'll try to get the interview up with masterz within the next few days

Guys THE GRUNTS
WILL THEY BE CUTE

I would estimate TSCE's completion at considerably more than 1-2 months away.



We're not keeping them a secret, and certainly are not holding onto them for a 'release trailer'. This has been said many times: the artist who was doing them for us disappeared (along with them) due to personal issues for quite a long time. Semi-recently we got what progress he had made back from him, and have added it back to our set of stuff to do; however they're just not done yet and so we're not going to show off something that's already been shown off and hasn't progressed much since then.



They will be insanely moe.

please make a beam rifle! I wanna snipe, and snipe with bullets! and snipe with purple stuff! and mix em up, while sniping the cute grunts >:D

replace all the Grunts with kittens

Do you want us to kill kittens? What is wrong with you :(

screw that, make kittens with invisible Spartan suits on, epic win for unsc

Those are H3 Grunts we are using for placeholders.


At CE3 we announced 2 new weapons, one being our new Particle Carbine which is a cross between the Beam Rifle and the Carbine.

How bout a regeneration field? I'd love to use one of those...

but is it a sniper? or does it use standard sniper traits or damage?

Isn't that simply a reusable Regenerator from Halo 3 in a compact package?
Edited by Dumb AI on Jul 14, 2013 at 12:01 PM

The particle carbine has the range and accuracy of the sniper, but does very little damage, so it's pretty much a headshot only weapon.

We don't plan to bring in the drop shield/regen field/bubble shield, we are trying to stay away from anything that encourages a restriction of movement or long cool down times.

Why not a single-use item like the Regenerator? No cool down time and it doesn't really restrict movement unless you guys actually want it to be like that.

dude, imagine this in split screen, oh man my college downtimes would be awesome... if I can find sum1 who is a gamer

While the flashlight replacement system we have can be used for stuff like that, I don't know if we want to have both Equipment like H3 and AA's. As of now, we have no way to print to the HUD other than player help text when something is in inventory, whether it be an AA, Equipment, or Perk (which is really more of what the h2/3 health system AA is).

so I heard you say that the visual features OS provides can be disabled, will the be an extras menu for that? or just command line provided?

annnd goodbye lag... now if only we can get a universal ui that gives the settings, also can I get a link? im using 3.0.3

ok I installed it, but if I want to disable it, how do I do that? I don't see a d3d9 file
Edited by rcghalohell on Jul 14, 2013 at 05:47 PM

take the dinput 8.dll out of the data folder.

That seems awfully high. Same thing happens to me but I only lose/gain several hundred MB.

Bad rigging? Optical illusion? Glitchy lighting/cubemap?

The H3 Grunts are being used as placeholders for the eventual real new Grunts. We want our Grunts to have multiple backpacks. Thus, to help stand in for that, I added a hacked version of the stock H3 backpack which is bent.

ok its tomorrow, lol wheres that vid?

You need to make the Grunts itty bitty and cute :3
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Are we gonna get the gameplay video today?

If not today then tomorrow - a few unexpected issues have arisen that may (but hopefully won't!) delay the video.
