And perhaps make it look even better than it does in Halo Anniversary? It is possible.

Let me stop you right there. The hunters, as you have said, are worm colonies. The flood see them as food instead of a body to fight in. Unless as mention you're gonna make a tank form that scavenges hunter armour, you're out of luck. Stop breaking Canon.

Who the hell cares about canon if it impedes your ability to create a fun new unit to fight against?

How about alternate pathways only accessible with certain vehicles (boost).

It would preserve the traditional way of doing things while still enriching the level.


yeah, that's it. Catering paths to vehicle types. Like, a ghost-only path can have obstacles you have to shoot out of the way.



Maybe something like this:

You must have missed the AREN'T CURRENTLY PLANNED PART. There are far more creative ways to make the flood use the hunter armor... we just have a setback with having actors in seats spawning their own actors upon their death. We need to find a work around with regions but it's not something being focused on at this time.

As far as the Maw.... It's likely the ghost will be an option.

......mustache ai.... mustache chief...

are you saying that the ghost would be an option to handle the warthog run?

never going to implement mongoose? D:

so much motion blur for such a slow vehicle.

I think it would be more fun if it were implemented

Aren't there plenty of things that can flip you over making you lose time?

Also, I noticed that on the SPV2 version, there was a Banshee that could be used that was sitting on the area where the Spirit drops off additional Covenant troops. I think that should be replaced by something else, because a Banshee kinda takes the fun out of the final run.

It wasn't ever intended to be final, just a replacement for the c_dropship that occupies more tagspace than it was worth.

Also I've always hated the mongoose, it'll never be in anything I work on.

If I draw a funny picture of Microsoft making out with Halo will you change your mind?

If we're voting on halo 3 vehicles, then I'd rather drive a chopper than a mongoose.

AFAIK, no one has sucessfully done a chopper in CE. I know CV from Zteam had one ingame, but it was never tested with AI.

but that is because they never changed the handling to the mongoose in CE, and that vehicle it is useful for escapes fast

as for example:

warthog run halo 3
or at the level pillar of autumn halo reach

and the vehicle is how to manage a ghost but more like a warthog

slap happy I think it was did a pretty good brute chopper, but I don't think it was tested with ai either.

What about a chopper-esque hoverbike that was lower to the ground, faster, and harder to strafe with or turn on a dime than a ghost? Everything other aspect would be the same as a chopper, and it could still devastate objects on impact like a chopper, but it would be easier for ai to control than a one wheeled vehicle. I imagine this would be a bit more plausible for implementation?

The thing is the mongoose is a watered down warthog, and an less effective Ghost.

You said your self "the vehicle is how to manage a ghost but more like a warthog"
Which I'm guessing says "It handles like a Ghost but it's a human vehicle" Which destroys any point you could have raised because it means there is already an effective alternative, and thus any work put into it would be a waste of dev time.

"vehicle it is useful for escapes fast"?
Warthogs are faster sooo, again your point is mute.

@Delicon: there is still some other issues with that, but we've considered a custom brute vehicle before as well. Still nothing though. The Shadow from Lumoria was actually planned to be redone as a CMT vehicle and included in the mod, but it's been dropped as its less interesting than the ghost and wraith to fight, and less fun than the hogs to use. For now there isn't any plan for any new Covie vehicles.

@EtchyaSketch: Pretty much spot on there. The goose IMO has always been shoehorned into the campaign, in h3 it was more frustrating to use than anything else, and a Warthog is preferable in almost all situations. Sure the goose has rockets on the back, but we have a Rocket Hog... which is more awesome. In Reach the whole Mongoose run in POA would have been more fun and interesting in a hog as well.... It's really a vehicle shoehorned into a small niche in MP. Even for MP, I wouldn't be sad to see it go even though I know it has it's fans.

The mongoose was an extreme liability in tight spots during the levels it was featured in. Especially during the last mission in Halo 3.

the chopper from With Whiteness is pretty nice

so i been playing the destiny alpha, and i was wondering if there was anything in there that you guys wanted to take advantage of gameplay wise? as in implementing things from that into your mod

Not cmt or anything but I think they can handle everything themselves. Plus they probably won't draw inspiration from Destiny
Edited by MatthewDratt on Jun 14, 2014 at 01:22 AM

Pretty much all I heard from the Destiny Alpha is pretty negative, and I never found the game appealing to begin in the first place. Bungie has talented art teams, but I've always felt most of their success is from piggybacking off the accidental genius of H1. I'll have the Destiny beta next month though.

We incorporate anything we like that we see, there's a healthy amount of Gears and Aliens influence in Pt2 of the campaign. What types of things were you thinking we'd want to incorporate from Destiny?

That's weird, Masters, because all I hear is people who play it giving it positive reviews and a bunch of people who havent played it yet saying it looks bad even though they haven't tried it yet. :S

Still though, I agree, what from Destiny would even fit or make sense in Halo?

What I hear from Destiny is that is tries to be a Borderlands clone without the humor and therefor kinda boring and lackluster. I really havent heard anything positive... most positive thing is that it apparently feels like "Halo on PS4."

I can understand that MatthewDratt, since it's a Bungie game, which have pretty much been heavy in lore and light in humor, if any, most of the time anyway. I suppose we should just wait till we try it ourselves.

I'd say the opposite really. The lore aside from H1 and H2 has always been minimal, with outside material really fleshing out the universe. The humor on the other hand, just ruins any seriousness of the game. It's hard to take the game serious when the AI are always wisecracking.

Lol rocket hog beats all, splosions for the win

Should make a team called "Micheal bay cmt"

only wanted implemented it, so in the end you have to decide between various vehicles

despite the fact that the warthog is the most fast

But what if you want to drive a ghost or a chopper or even a wraith? It would be very interesting to finish the CMT SPV3 with some fun

cheat_all_vehicles?

1000/10

do you have evidence?

And so it begins.
