For the record there are no OS shaders involved there, only standard tags.

The enviro looks pretty nice but also very cluttered. It's also kind of hard to see the scale with even having a reference of anything in pictures like that (covy crate, MC, elite, etc.)

Think very close quarters.

From those pictures, it doesn't look as good as i thought it would. :(

Lucky for you then, this map is coming with both the Evolved tagset first, and then later the SPV3 tagset.

evolved then spv3? does evolved mean the classic tags? or the ones presented from the gameplay videos?

Evolved is it's own custom tagset, while SPV3 is another. Everything you've seen from B30:E is using the evolved tagset, anything from other levels, as well as things I've posted are from SPV3.

Hey Masters one question

did CMT ever get around to finish SPV2? of did u guys leave it dead and skip to three?

also nice to be here after 5 years :D

sounds like it will add variety, not bad

SPV2 was never finished and had multiple issues, SPV3 is the current project and includes everything we wished to accomplish in SPV2 and more.


The two tagsets have a different base of values and concepts. Evolved goes back to a small weapon set, with each weapon having its own specific role, while SPV3 expands on the H1 weapon set and adds new weapons and enemies, in order to add more variety and more options to the combat.

so would this make it be a challenge mode and an expansion mode?

looks good so say it

Will B30 be the only evolved map? Also, will there be loadouts?

I don't know what you mean.


Loadouts are in B30:E, and in all the SPV3 missions after A30 until C10.

The next evolved map is in pre production for SPV3 Part 2.

Although you're welcome to your opinion, I would like to mention that any of the exterior shots are pretty rough. The cliff wall textures, and the ground textures are placeholder for the most part, especially UV's. So you won't get much visually from the exterior shots, but I can say that a lot of us are proud of the interior shots.

Your name is Masterz Leet?

Bro, I've been saying Masterz thirteen thirty seven forever

I didn't mean to offend you guys or anything. I was just expecting a bit more or something else i guess.

why is everything dark? there is no reason for so much darkness.

and the fact that OS does not mitigate highlights in shadows will always irk me.

I've always said it Masters One Three Three Seven. Cause it sounds coolest.

I like it dark, the darkness is my element

No way, the cool kids pronounce it "Thirteen-Thirty-Seven"

Also.. your name is MasterS, not MasterZ

People said Masters One-Three-Three-Seven back in the day more. As of 2008-9 or so it's just been Masters. We all know who it is now, don't really need the number for distinction anymore.

Does that mean that in about 2017 people would just call me P? :(

Nah jk XD

Anyone else wanted to see the prototype suit from legends in halo gameplay.

We are already planning to do the Mantis in the second part of campaign.

So I need some feedbaack from you all on the T&R release, what were your thoughts on the alternate brute and elite encounters? I've heard good arguments for and against them, the for being people liking that it's unpredictable and you cant memorize what is coming next, and I've heard from the people that dislike it complaining that it makes it to hard to have a strategy. I am personally for them, as I don't really like when people know for sure what is coming next and much rather them have to react to unpredictable, yet fair situations.

YES!



I like the alternation, but the way they fight feels so similar in combat, and yet the brutes are easier to fight. there needs to be something for the standard variations that will make you be like (oh crap I gotta watch out for when he does that!) like how in halo 2, the brutes would beserk and it would be slightly difficult to kill them or pull off a head shot because of their charging and speed towards you

I think i like the alternate encounters better than the fixed ones.
