CMT extras for the most part have been folded into the game itself in the forms of AAs and weapon features. Given the ever dwindling amount of tagslots, script space, and model data, it's unlikely we will have it returning.

I remember for C10 SPV2, it had snow instead of the swampy environment. Will you keep the snow or swamp for SPV3. And it may be likely for the CMT Extras should have some new features since some are ingame.

that was a fan remake of spv2, not an actual spv2 beta. the only actual spv2 betas released were a10, a30, b30, b40, and d40. Any other "spv2 beta" was likely uploaded by a fanboy thinking it was the real deal. Most of the unofficial levels uploaded were actually created by ForestKeller in the wake of the mod cancellation, so that everyone would have something to play. He did the entire campaign but never officially uploaded it to Halomaps. The telltale signs of these false betas are the lack of new bsps, which every official beta level had.

So no, you probably won't see a snow swamp in C10

I forgot that they were fake SPV2 Betas out there. Plus the guys who made them were terrible. Oh well no snow swamp. For The Library I would say the atmosphere would be Flood Spores and Flood Mist.
The inside of keyes would have Flood biomass, spores and mist. The outside of keyes is just snow.

The fake betas were no where near as fun as the real ones. B40 was unplayable because of the corrupt BSP, so, i had to resort to the SPV1 release. The fake betas are just lacking. I still debate with myself whether to replace C10-D20 with their SPV1 counterparts. SPV2 A50 had a bit more, but, graphics were corrupt. Fortunatly, theres the SPV3 demo level for that.

Here's an outline:
A10-SPV2
A30-SPV2
A50-SPV3 Demo
B30-SPV2
B40-SPV1
C10-SPV1
C20-SPV1
C40-SPV1
D20-SPV1
D40-SPV2
And when SPV3 comes out just delete all of the old maps. So we have two unknown covenant weapons on our hands.

The A50 and C10 are both fake. The B40 one actually has all the encounters in it and is fully playable, but you will have to use a script ripper to view the names of the scripts and manually switch bsps. I am pretty sure it was playable start to finish at one point, but that was a much older build that was uploaded.

Edit: We already have 3 snow missions, 4 if you count D20 but thats so brief and doesn't really offer much new in the environment. So snow isn't something we're going to revisit.

So how about grassland missions, A30 is one of them.

A30 will most likely stay a grassland, as the CMT team seems to have based the mission with that image in mind. It's not too late to change it now, but I doubt they will. Besides, it'd be removing part of the A30 feel.

a10 - Human spaceship
a30 - Temperate Mountainscape (mild(?) forerunner interior)
a50 - Blizzard/Covenant spaceship
b30 - Tropical Island/Forerunner Interior
b40 - Forerunner Interior/Snowy Valley
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c10 - Swamp(?)/Forerunner Interior (please keep the swamp)
c20 - Forerunner Interior (else unknown)
c40 - Forerunner Interior/Blizzard (else unknown)
d20 - Flood infested Covenant spaceship/mild Blizzard (else unknown)
d30 - ??? (desert?)
d40 - Grassy Plains (scenery only?)/Crashed Human spaceship (else unknown)

d30 is about master chief and cortanas sexual relations

Wouldn't that just be snow? o.O

huehuehue

i dont get it

Well, seeing as Chief and Cortana are stuck together in a Banshee between D20 and D40, it's not out of the question . I am pretty excited to see what it will actually be.

Maybe, or it's about finding any marines or something and the flood is there too.

So, what, the marines and flood are participating? Kinky

Yo, Spartan 234 has some strange kinks...

I'm just guessing. Halo CE doesn't have enough flood vs marine (execpt 343 GS).
Reason with me, Flood + Marines + Player = Bloodshed, live infections and maybe fighting through hordes of flood. It's like the great infestation.

I'm ok with this.

This would actually be pretty cool, like what happened at Alpha Base in the books, only at the Alpha base-like structure we take over in A30.

Painfully unfunny, why do you even try?

Well Alpha Base in the books was in the desert atop a mesa, if I remember correctly.

Was it? I can't remember. I thought it was in a grassy area, like A30, because the lifepods and stuff landed there. I remember they went through a mesa/canyon thing to get to the Pillar of Autumn and it's cargo, but I don't think their base was there.

Halopedia says:
"Alpha Base was the main tactical firebase used during the Battle of Alpha Halo by surviving UNSC forces after landfall on Installation 04. It was located on a small mesa several kilometers down-spin from the crash site of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn."
So if it's only a few kilometers away from the crash site, and there's a mesa, I would think that it's in the desert. The page doesn't explicitly say that this is the case, but it's what I've always thought of when I picture Alpha Base, and it seems to fit the description based on their proximity to the Autumn.

Guess you're right then.

OOH, question about A30. What's the estimated size of the new base, compared to the old one in the beginning of Combat Evolved?
Edited by RabbitFood on Aug 18, 2014 at 01:24 PM

I think for D30, Master Chief heads to the "real" alpha base to aid the UNSC forces there.

I think helping human forces at that point would not be on the top of Chief's to-do list. It would be up near the top but I think he'd have more important problems to take care of.

Still, this campaign does not follow existing canon anyway, so this could be possible.

Nothing is removed, just added.

Hey masters, the alpha base encounter in A30 does it play out as a firefight or kill the covenant and the marines drop in and take over and then you leave.

it plays in a wait and see style where you will one day see footage when we are ready or play it for yourself.

So, the new version of Open Sauce and UUI will come out with Evolved on the 29th, right?

TSC:E Comes out on the 29th, new version of OS? Not to sure.
Edited by Spartan_234 on Aug 18, 2014 at 06:06 PM

i mean, i know Evolved is coming out on the 29th, i was just wondering about the other 2 things.

Nobody knows the release dates for those two things, but the new OS version can't come out after the release of TSC: E because it would be missing some new OS graphical features.
