I super deRpded.

Why no safety dance?

This is the one thing thats gonna make the map even more exciting to have suicidal grunts popping up on ya XD kinda reminds me of those suicidal floods on spv2 the maw.

Those would be neat to reimplement. Lots of nice ways we could hook it in now.

Is it possible for a certain rank of jackals to be able to toss grenades?

Yeah but we won't be doing that. Possibly for skirmishers but it's yet to be decided

Jackals in Halo Spartan assault could throw plasma grenades but it sounds kinda odd for them to do that since they have a shield in one hand and a gun in the other.
I wouldn't mind if skirmishers could throw grenades though.

I want sentinels to throw grenades because why the heck not. Or a flood carrier spawning sentinal grenadiers. This made no sense :3. I started next page such woaw much surprise the cake is a lie.

no

I think Enforcers with missile launchers are enough to be honest. Also possible flood sentinels?
Edited by Infinite Guardian on Feb 14, 2015 at 10:56 AM

The flood sentinels from spv2 will be returning and we have some new things planned for them which should be pretty exciting.

Enforcers will use the incineration lasers and Spartan laser ish weapons. Although the Spartan laser ish weapon may be replaced with something akin to suppression rifle shots. Part 2 things are on hold as we test the new OS and some of its features.

Okay that sounds like they pose more of a threat.

By "New OS" do you mean that there's an updated version of OS coming out?

Yes. Current version is 3.1 and next one will be 4.0 or something. It'll release along with The Silent Cartographer: Evolved.

Wow, that sounds awesome. Thanks for the info.

Just going to leave this... yeah. Obvious problems that still need fixing but felt like sharing.

You [killed] them on purpose, didn't you.
E: Could we have a scream from the passengers prior to the crash, I actually had no idea there were passengers.

I actually like this new opening cutscene for the maw. Destroying Halo on a bright sunny day huh.

chief is a murderer.

The Chief has gone rogue.

That is a really random change to the cutscene.

Not a big fan. The Banshee was basically a clam shell that hinged at the front and wasn't even fully enclosed, so it didn't seem too far-fetched that he might be able to escape the confines of the craft quickly after crashing nose-first into the wall. But the Pelican is a big, armored dropship, and I'm not sure that the cockpit even opens. It seems to imply that he drove the craft towards an opening that was clearly too small for the Pelican to land in (whereas the Banshee could probably fit snugly), crashed it into the wall, then somehow managed to run out through the back, and somehow grab onto the ledge that impacted the Pelican's nose. If the Pelican must stay, it might make more sense to have them land/crash somewhere else (an empty hangar, or near some sort of opening at ground level outside the ship), instead of an empty lifepod bay.

tl;dr: An almost comical excess of plane, not enough space, no clear means of escape. Cortana also seems really cheery about potentially having killed a squad of Marines.

Also not sure how I feel about the pristine, grassy landscape, but that's more a matter of personal preference.

Clearly, they intend to end "The Commander" with you driving a pelican, hence why you start with one in "The Maw."

Also notice that the video title specifically says this is the intro "Noble" difficulty. I'm hoping that the screams are just a joke/easter-egg only present on this difficulty.


I don't really like the grass either. At least throw some brown on the cliff-side to make it look more realistic. Maybe some mud/charring in the wake of where the Autumn slid.

I really like the pelican thing, but the scream may be a bit too loud.


This.

I also don't like the water, because to me it looks like... idk, guava juice or something like that; too pink. And finally, It's weird to see how both the ground and the Maw look so foggy but you can clearly see the far ocean and the sky with all its elements.

the hell

With this thing you make a very pink juice. I guess it doesn't exist in the US?


Edited by Danger_zone_98 on Feb 16, 2015 at 04:58 PM

no dude I drink that stuff all the time and the water looks nothing like it lol

Alright, the water is more purple-ish, not pink...

Too purple-ish, I'd say.

Maybe Chief punched through that bulletproof glass with that manly bod of his and jumped out right before it smashed into the hull of the POA. There's an answer to your critical analysis of a vehicle swap.

Also the pink lemonade lake is a pretty strange artistic decision but I guess it matches with the skybox.

Pretty much this. But what if the maw was snowing instead

you're kidding, right?

C'mon Echo, CMT Girls just wanna have fun.

No.

Edited by Infinite Guardian on Feb 17, 2015 at 07:22 AM

Good idea then. Think they can get snow inside the POA?

I was scrolling through my Halo CE menus, and I saw two levels that weren't part of the original campaign, called The Commander and None Left Behind, what are those two about, branching off from the vaugest description possible in-game.
