I wasn't singling you out on it, I just want to curb any useless talk that I can see stemming.

I dont like how it takes place in HEK. Can you move the project over to Cry Engine plz?

That's why call of duty exists.

dang it echo you beat me to this every time. nah but seriously calling a gun "silenced" is close to bordering on ignorance (especially since you've had it thoroughly explained that bullets do in fact make noise, i know shocking right... and nothing science does can change that.) i've dropped asking about tagset changing, but if u can PLEASE not get the name wrong, that'd be awesome. (though i'll say subsonic is a more accurate name for the effect you're trying to achieve, if anyone on CMT wants clarification PM me and i can bore you with detailed explenations and reference material) also just to clarify, i'm doing this because i care about CMT and love the work they're doing, and feel i should help them to make it as fun and enjoyable (and realistic) as possible.

The thing is that it has more than one name: Suppressor, Sound Suppressor, or Silencer. Its the same. So by this we are both right and these common misconceptions don't matter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressor

Why does it matter what cmt calls a little attachment for a gun? We are talking about a game here, and the name shouldn't irritate anyone that much regardless of what they decide to call it. And if it does irritate someone, then it's their problem for being so easily annoyed by silly little name.

Everyone's concerns have been made clear, so I'd say at this point we should just wait and see what cmt decides to call it when the mod finally drops.

I think we need another obscure, purdy screenshot to keep us distracted.

So pretty, we're all distracted now. (Hopefully)

I think chief is allergic to plasma with big ol choad thumb, but the heat monitor on the PR is awesome. Love it.

That made me chuckle.
But ew the greeniness on Chief's hand.

I think those dark scratches/outlines on the PR are horrible. it makes the blue look like paint, and I always thought it was some sort of chitinous material

I quite agree. The red bars just look out of place, they're supposed to fake emit light, but they aren't.

I think chief is ready for a thumb war

maybe it's just me but i think that whole thing could go for about 20% desaturation and 10% contrast boost. (more desat on the gauntlet)

maybe 5% desaturation, I like the glow

I like how the Autumn's interior textures are coming along, looking forward to seeing more of it.

Most of that image looks eww. Sorry if i was too blunt. -_-

Edit:

Also, I was replaying T&R a while ago, and I noticed a small bush thingy was mostly inside a scenery boulder and only a little bit of it was sticking out. Just pointing it out. It wouldn't do much to change performance or anything but... Yeah. It's in the boulder in front and in the middle of the path that leads you to the gravity lift. Also the large rock to the right of it looks too flat and out of place when you notice how it actually looks.

Masterz leaking spv3 screenshots again

Personally I think it looks pretty disgusting.

It's grey, has way too many illogical scratches over EVERYTHING (look at the door too), etc.

Just looks wayyyyy to worn for a ship like that. You'd imagine the interior being much cleaner, even for it being an industrial ship... I could see some scratches here and there, but definitively not at this level.

The PR looks pretty rad though.

But it was grey and scratchy in the vanilla game though. (or at the very least just grey)

Plus isn't the Autumn a pretty old ship? like 50 years of old?

Ships old but was being refitted at Reach?

The origional seems more logical:



Theres a small amount of wear but nothing overly distracting. If it was a burned area that would be a different story though.

It launched in 2510, so it's about 42 years old by the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. It saw action in 2531, was decommisioned with the rest of the Halcyon line, and reactivated in 2550. It received a refit in 2552 with the intention of getting the Spartans to the Covenant homeworld to capture a Prophet, but was heavily damaged over Reach. It then made a slipspace jump that put the vessel near Installation 04. [/wiki]

So it's an older vessel that was decommisioned for some time, but it also received refits fairly recently (relative to the events of Combat Evolved), but it's also sporting a lot of battle scars from Reach, from the sounds of things. It seems like the level of wear-and-tear in the CMT screenshot could make sense if it's in a section of ship that recently experienced damage and/or the neglect that might come from years spent out of commission. The refit might have been more mission-focused than concerned with fixing up the interior with a new coat of paint. I guess it just depends on the atmosphere they want to convey.

OMG *orgams*

I'm assuming the unnecessary amount of scratches\etc is due to them wanting to make the ship more detailed without redoing the BSP. I suggested to have POA's bsp's redone and T&R's BSP's redone, both were declined. Though the doors have updated models now, that's an old picture.

We don't really want to waste our resources on remodeling entire levels to look pretty, we learned our lesson with A50 and the piss poor performance we got out of the exterior.

In our world, the POA is not only old, but the UNSC often uses the wrecks of other ships to do repairs on newer ones, as the functionality of the ships this late in the war is more important than the aesthetics. The hallways in the refitted POA come from various sources, such as other destroyed UNSC ships as well as the POA's own damaged hallways from carting around all sorts of metal contains and computer banks and stuff. Honestly how do you think they move stuff around the ship? Stuff gets scraped up when you try to put new doors in and the like.

I personally think everything you have shown so far looks amazing but that's just my opinion.

Typing sleep deprived I see.

I think the interior of the ship looks great even with the few scratches but the plasma rifle could use a few adjustments.

seems a little to the CEA but I would like to see more similar

This is how I imagine CMT's reaction to the community saying they want things, but CMT doesn't deliver.

They're not obliged to bend to our every whim, otherwise we'd have.... I dunno, driveable Scarabs and Halo 4 tags or something.

If we didn't do what we think is best and let the community dictate what we do, then you wouldn't get the quality of projects we are known for.

Everything is a WIP, and it's in our process that we worry about gameplay and features first, visuals last. The POA textures and the PR were never planned to stay the same way as they do in that photo when it was posted.

a question...

they already decided as the ring would be in the final cinematic of the game or the first mission?

Yes
