Yup Rabbit Food. It's the shadow from lumoria, which is the spectre. It has two variants, a shade and fuel rod. Edited by Spartan_234 on Aug 20, 2014 at 03:30 PM Edited by Spartan_234 on Aug 20, 2014 at 03:33 PM

So Masters, the shadow can be jacked? That's good. And I thought it would have 3 variants instead of t 2. Meaning plasma, shade, fuel rod. Edited by Spartan_234 on Aug 20, 2014 at 04:48 PM

After SPV3 Part 1 is out we everything will be.... different, for now let's wait. So b40's control room area is remade. Was this something for SPV2 but never added?

I wish I knew. I never completed B40, because of the BSP glitch. But I hear that can actually be fixed with Dev commands?

Umm... I think it can't be fixed or you are saying to skip through the corrupted BSP's. The skirmishers ranks in SPV3 are Minor and Major. How about adding sniper skirmishers to make them more of a threat.

Good to know. Halo Reach skirmishers all of them wielded Focus Rifle's and Needle Rifle's. SPV3, Particle Carbine, Focus Carbine and Impaler (Not sure it will be the final name).

If I knew for sure that it uses Needle-type ammo, I could think of a new name.
OH, question about TSC:E SPV3 uses quite a few custom-weapons that are non-canon. Will TSC:E include these, or just canon-weapons? (i.e BR, DMR, MA5D) Edited by RabbitFood on Aug 20, 2014 at 08:52 PM

It will. I feels like TSC:E is using weapons that are not used in SPV3, i.e (Spiker, Covenant Carbine, Fuel Rod Gun etc.) While SPV3 have there replacements, Particle Carbine, Unknown Spiker Weapon, Maybe a Plasma-Based Explosive etc. I'm just posting what I know.

I also recently found out that while the EMP Grenade in SPV3 has been removed/changed, it remains the same in TSC:E.

Like I said, TSC:E uses content that is not in SPV3, Like the standard brutes that used Power Armor and other content. The new Needler in SPV3 looks nice, maybe the "Impaler" will have a similar design.

Referring to my last question,
Will ODSTs be any stronger than marines, or is it just a cosmetic difference? What about on the level(s) where both are present?
Also, question/suggestion. Will the bumblebee pilot/helmet be remade? If so, it would be a shame to waste. If the helmet itself can be added efficiently as just an armor permutation, it would be nice if each group you rescue on A30 had exactly one marine with the helmet.

Well that's assuming the pilot of each drop pod survived. But yeah, that would be a neat little detail, having a pilot for each pod somewhere, alive or otherwise.

I believe ODST's might have low-power shielding compared to regular marines, to make them last longer. I think I heard Masterz say this once, I'll try and find where the post is.

ODSTs are just a visual difference from regular marines. They are together on A10, Marines on A30, ODST for A50 and B30s, and then marines on b40 and c10.

They all have invisible shielding, plus ODST's can survive at least 1 or 2 super combine explosions. And the Elite Ultras are just ordinary infantry or is it rare to find one? Edited by Spartan_234 on Aug 21, 2014 at 09:59 AM
