I don't see how a little extra effort on the new bsps is a bad thing. They might end up looking slightly better than the originals, but then so what? Better to raise the quality bar a little higher and see what you can pull off than to end up with a mediocre product.

Well yeah, but we don't want to have all of a sudden a whole new approach to ice placement which contradicts the style of the other ice in the map.

If I may ask masters, what gave you guys the idea you could juggle three different projects at once effectively?

D30 work isn't going to start until Part 1 of SPV3 is done. It's just B30:E until july, then all focus on SPV3 part 1, then after that a focus on Part 2 which includes the next evolved map, and D30.

The levels get a full texture, environment, scenery and soon lightmaps (more on this in coming weeks!) treatment. The T&R exterior remodel was ultimately a mistake as we have been unable to properly replicate Bungie's portals leading to some very low performance issues. B30:E and our next evolved map, being their own self contained things do and will feature much much much more detailed BSPs.

The main issue that it comes down to with stock BSPs is that we can't remodel all of them, and we don't want to have 2 jarring different levels of detail in the BSPs in the same map. Granted like it was said, we already have a discrepancy with our assets vs BSPs, but at least that is consistent and we can dress up and manipulate the levels to appear similar.

As far as level breakdown

A10: Darker metal theme
A30: Stormy overcast
A50: Snow
B30: Jungle and beach
B40: Snow
C10: Swamp (Night, Sunrise, Day)
C20: [Classified]
C40: Snow
D20 Snow
D30: [Classified]
D40: Summer/Windows XP themed and darker metal theme

The reason for B40 sill being winter is for the consistency with H3. Even though we normally don't worry about that to much and bend the cannon to our liking, it's just to iconic a location and fits in perfect with the Jungle and Swamp that come before and after. We will probably mess with doing the summer theme to winter control room like we did in SPV2, but right now the goal is to get the thing fully playable. All detailing on the SPV3 BSPs has been put on hold until we can get B30:E's BSPs complete for the July release.

That's a lot of snow, no desert?


D20 just doesn't feel right in the snow. In any event, with the covenant ship overhead this would be the only level where flood drop-pods make sense. Would make for some nice jump scares.


It's also probably way too late to suggest this, but I remember in a B30:E vidoc that one of the goals for the interiors was how its dark theme functioned to hint at the unknown danger buried below halo. It might be a bit excessive, but how about little tanks with these:

..in them.

speaking of fish tanks...

D20 takes place in roughly the same location as A50, hence the snow.

While flood tanks are always cool, in B30 you're not supposed to have any idea that the flood exist yet. As such, while we can hint at them using atmosphere, we are avoiding anything that would "give away" the story. TSC:E is meant to be standalone, but it still honors the game story.

It could always be a hidden easter egg.

also this wouldn't be a bad easter egg idea for b30's jungles either

You guys can stop with the suggestions on how to make it awesome and take a long time to do. AS I stated earlier, the goal is to have the same level of detail here as the rest of Bungie's stock BSPs.


That's disappointing. CMT's weapons, and new units, like the Jackal, look really good. If we're going to play through all these stock maps, for the hundredth time, it's disappointing that they won't be more detailed. CMT's Truth & Reconciliation, from 2012, had a new aesthetic. The snow made it feel different. And there were definitely some new things. Like ice pools.

Does this mean we're not going to see anything else, like that? 13 years later, no change in detail? The TSC:E videos from last year, had pretty detailed BSPs. So I know CMT is capable of it. It'll be especially weird, to have all these new assets, clashing with the old BSPs.


YEAH, in 2011 for 2012 is could see that they were going to improve the map pretty, but now no longer looks anything like that, only they are new textures, weapons, vehicles (the ghost yet still see it equal in CMT SPV2 with some new things)

Masterz is right though, it has to match up with the rest of the BSPs.
