So you guys are still using the super grungy (and sort of ugly) metal textures?

Certainly much better than the specter. The seats on that thing looked awful.

The textures and shaders from B30:E will be adapted into SPV3. I'm just waiting for them to finish them.

rly? I didn't realise thanks

edit: still makes me think in the bipeds of marines



Yes :C

They look more like odst's to me.

spoilers mee BABY!!!

The marine model is not yet ingame, so the ODST is placeholder. I am okay with saying the plan is

A10: Crewman, Marines, and ODSTs
A30: Marines
A50: ODST
SPV3 B30 E: ODST
B40: Marines
C10:Marines

ODSTs are going to be used for missions where you are going into a fight, Marines are the guys you find fighting for their lives on the Halo ring.

thanks... now I can sleep in my bed

edit:

I forget to put this:

CMT SPV3 heroic = Legendary
CMT SPV3 legendary = Ultra-super-hardcore

I put it because the campaign with mods is difficult than normal
and to warn them if they want to play it to that difficulties lol

The whole thing is tuned and intended to be played on Legendary. We'll be doing some contests and prizes and stuff for people who play on legendary and record it and what not. We're not totally sure yet, but we will be doing stuff.

Lumoria legendary: infuriating grind through unbalanced encounters

I've been playing through the Lumoria campaign on Legendary for the past few days and checkpoint placement/friendly AI/encounters ruined it for me. Still one of the best custom campaigns out there, as I noticed other custom maps usually have the same problems.

Buffed AI+More AI+Shotguns/AR in big open areas=Fury

NO FUN ALLOWED

So then there wont be any marines in the covi jail cell with Captain Keyes in A50? So, when Captain Keyes was captured in the Pillar of Autumn, the only people other then him who were caught were ODSTs and no marines?
And also, for B30 E. Why no marines? I think marines should be the ones on the pelican with you when you drop off, and then when you land on the beach, ODST's drop in from drop pods. Or as you are flying in, you see the ODSTs drop in and fight the covenant before you land. Then a few waves of phantoms come in or something like that.

... from what exactly?

If we have the resources free in the map, we can add them in for the jail with keyes.

For SPV3 B30E we are going to have ODSTs since you are going on a mission with them. The regular B30:E is going to be using marines afaik.

So for SPV3 we have 5 missions, 1 has both, 2 are just Marines, 2 are just ODST.

Pelicans may work, but I think a parachute will be necessary.

It just seems like a waste to only have crewmen in one level.

Crewmen aren't worth the time for an asset when there are other more pressing things to be doing. Even in A10, they are only seen in one of the BSPs, and after that Bungie never used them again in that level.

Once we have new marines we will re-evaluate if we want to them, but right now they aren't on the roadmap nor are they something I think should be wasted time on.

Why work on them when we can work on things like... well these?

Now that is just too damn sexy right there!

New plasma pistol model? I like it a lot!

still the same tank seat animations



yea yea yea pretty gun, whatever. the crewman were used in more than just one bsp. they were used in the next level afterwards too. and halo 3(lol got a closer look)

Im almost positive that he was trying to show off the Skirmisher models, not the plasma pistol.
Edited by Bobblehob on Jan 9, 2014 at 12:19 AM

almost?

Okay, I'm impressed.

Why can't he show off both?

I could have said Skirmishers, but there would be at least 5 posts saying how good the skirmisher looks. I just thought I would mention the plasma pistol. Sorry if it bugs you.

Honestly speaking here, I took no note of the pistol until Kingfisher mentioned it.
Too sucked up in awe of the skirmisher...

inb4 I knew masterz was doing skirmishers for forever now and I actually did some mock up animations for him too :x

Cmon son. Stick with the original...
Edited by PopeAK49 on Jan 9, 2014 at 03:38 AM

If you play the release you will see that the odst's captured had no helmet



It is true the Crewmen don't last long in a fierce battle only are Background pleople if it is to rescue people

and nice Skirmisher models :O

looks like reach

there's not nothing new to see eh?

hooray! we reached 200 of 175 pages in this thread

don't tell me!!
ANYWAYS IS A NEW RECORD LET'S CALL GUINESS RECORDS GUYS!

So decided to start to organize some Sentinel stuff today, ended up coming up with an alternative ammo system that was unlike Human or Covenant for Forerunner weapons.

Reminds me of Mass effect 1. Nice though

If that image with the Jackals is in-game I will have a sweaty orgy with everyone at CMT.
