Lists the UMT members and what they can do.

Personally i think we should start a prject were everyone in team can put in a idea and help whit..Thats one thing that brings a map team together(i recomend a singleplayer)

Wolf be dissapointed in yourself..be ashamed... Very Ashamed

P.S. I agree with the get our team to get working as more of a team.. but plx no campaghn.

Single player is different from campaign. Campaign=Collection of Single player maps in a storyline, Single player maps are just maps for one person with AI. Its actually a good idea for UMT.... Considering as of the time I left, there wasn't much going on for most people...

I have been begging Mass to make a campaign since he became leader, and Ganon before that. Ganon just... Ignored me, while it isn't going to happen when Mass is leader, because: "Making a campaign map is the equivalent of making 3 multiplayer maps for the modeling alone, and I want to concentrate on Paradox and Archive V2 before we even think about making a singleplayer map, and then it probably isn't going to happen."

He has also told me this in the past: "I told you to not make any announcements for UMT on H2V or Halomaps, leave that to me. You didn't mess anything up this time, but next time I'm gonna throw you naked into a cage with a wild Snafubar."
I'm scared to make any more threads for anything after he said that...

I would never have suspected Massacre of such influence...

The second one. I think. What?

i want to join UMT

That is a quote. You learned something today! Yay!

i gotta say, i really dont think i was used much at all when i was UMT. i really felt underused, and i felt that the team wasnt a team. thats kinda of like sigma too (deeeeep we gotta work on that). but mass modeled the bsp and then the rest was jay and sim. and i think ganon did some work too. but no one ever asked me to do anything. that the reason almost every mapping team fails. no body is coordinated. thats my opinion and im voicing it. if you dont like it, then let the flaming begin.

JAY: stfu i was agreeing with dano

donut: also agreeing

umt is all massacre. the reason donut was never really used was because (pure speculation) donut is the hud guy primarily. and since UMT never redid any weapons or god forbid make their own then what did they want donut's abilities for? a good team does everything

Well if you wanted to make something then you just had to tell ganon(when he was boss)But then you Should not just put something together and it looks like crap..
More work and so on gives it a better result..:D SINGLEPLAYER OWN!

The only way i could see a single player thing would work is to make our own game in the halo engine. Custom everything is what I mean by that. But i know that would never happen. Plus that would take too long and no one is gonna want to do something like that.

New weapons makes everything better. Either new weapons or modded ones. All the good maps have new weapons because people are attracted to new weapons in a map. New weapons makes people wanna download maps.

that doesnt necessarily mean the map will have good game play though. the map could be really bad but it would still get a lot of downloads because people want to use the new weapon. its the same thing with vehicles too.

Yes, same thing with vehicles, scenery, bsp, and over all gameplay as you said. I was just stating that weapons have a great effect over a map.

There is one new weapon, another one of Donut's things that made it into the map, the chaingun. It has been vastly improved since Donut left the team (Lol, he may not like my improvements, faster rate of fire, no melee, no grenades, more accurate, 200 round clip, 1 clip maximum, just like the H3 chaingun), but we are retiring it in favor of a new one (I CALL DIBS ON THE SCRIPTING FOR IT!).

Reason why we don't have any custom weapons: Ganon (Or Mass, I forgot which, but I think both of them, actually) likes the Bungie weapon set, which has been pre-balanced and had everything set up so it works like a charm in the default multiplayer maps. I managed to convince Ganon to allow 1 new weapon, which Donut was working on at the time, the Chaingun. After messing with Donut's tags to make it more H3-ish (The default was more balanced, and fired half as fast as it did now), I inserted it in there. We beta tested the thing, but as soon as someone got the chaingun they were taken out before they could cause too much damage with the thing. It wasn't until the map got leaked did I realize it played hell with the balance Ganon had worked so hard to preserve. Upon realization of this fact, I made even more changes to it for the better, but now it is time to retire it.
With any luck, I can push my custom Battle Rifles (Yes, there are more then one, no details yet) into V2, but they won't emerge, in Guerrilla even, for about a Month.

i agree, bungies weapons are perfectly balanced. its a matter of how you place them though. yes its always fun to have custom weapons but you have to really think about how they will effect the gameplay.

*COUGH* pistol *COUGH*

well maybe everyone might not agree with the weapon balances, but i for one love the pistol. i really dont think its unfair. its probably a lot easier to get killed by a noob with a RL than a noob with a pistol.

well i believe all teams should be rounded. whether that means TOTALLY redoing weapons or just remodeling, reanimating and retexturing, then i think it should happen. you dont need to change aweapon's balance to make it your own.

Thats wat i was thinking so its still halo and it can have better models... and we can swap the pistol with some sort of rifle to make it actually ya kno more realistic compared to the rest of the weapons.

The pistol is on my list of favorite weapons. Here is the order I would switch weapons (Please note I am usually on vehicle patrol, so I pick up weapons to take down vehicles).
I'll just pretend this is Blood Gulch.
1. Rocket Launcher
2. Sniper Rifle
3. Fuel Rod Gun
4. Pistol
5. Flamer
6. Shotty
7. Assault Rifle (Useful, if you know how to use it)
8. Needler
9. Plasma Pistol
10. Plasma Rifle

Now, of course, my weapons of choice vary depending on what I'm going to try to do; If there is a noob camping the teleporters, I will:
A. Get a Shotty, back into the teleporter, and kill the noob.
B. Get a Hog and splatter the guy.

If I am to be used as a sacrifice to distract the other team while the rest of my team makes a dash for the flag, I choose between the Assault Rifle, Pistol, and Flamer. If I don't have a flamer nearby, I grab the pistol; same for the Assault Rifle. Or I simply get in a Hog and try to hit as many people as I can while making circles around the base, waiting for my teammate to grab the flag and hop in. If he dies, I go in myself, grab the flag, and 95% of the time I am in my Hog and underway before anyone opens fire. Once I had the flag, tried to get away, and I kept hitting the same tree just outside the base. Surprisingly, not a single shot came in range.

Some bad news for UMT, guys... Mass is quitting, and from the looks of our Xfire conversation, he isn't coming back. Since this is no longer a UMT project, I'll transfer power over to Massacre.

Looking good, please fix the ATV animations from the first version :X

deffinetly better than the first one (though it doesn't look much like it either >.>)

Well if he is then i guess i am to...:(Bah....Let me think about it...

I'm currently working on the custom weapons, for security reasons, only ganon,mass, and wolf have seen them. And to assure you, they are frickin' good.

Nothing, just saying only you and two others have seen the weapons.

Massacre let D4NO get to him about him being the only one who does anything, and left UMT. I've tried to bring him back, but to no avail. According to Mass, he took il Duce Primo under his wing to learn modeling a little while ago, and Mass says Duce is ALMOST as good as him, but I'm not putting any confidence into that statement until I see a render.

bs all ive ever seen you use is a banshee





covenant carbine makes for a great pistol replacement




i retract this statement. massacre has left, but i suppose i have seen good things from jay in the photochop department.

So.. is UMT gonna die now, or do you guys still have modelers?

this is what i mean. mass left umt, now u guys are kinda screwed. u should have back up guys

All you've SEEN me use. I have been in many games without you, and I normally don't go for it, but occasionally the thought of using the thing to get a Killing Spree or Running Riot pops into my head, and I feel I deserve it for taking down the thing with whatever weapon I had at the time.

And yes, I can use Photoshop pretty well. I'm not a god in it, but I can make pretty decent bitmaps in the thing. I've made some sexier Hog bitmaps before, with everything improved and optimized on it, plus the addition of a serial number (2645-10-25-93). Not sure if I still have the .tif file, if I do, I'll upload it to Photobucket.

I can still model and all but and i have a project that i personally have been competing with mass and i think it will take away his project and it will replace it. I would of showed a render but i dont think i want to yet. You'll hear about it in the upcoming week is the best time i can give you. The only way the team will make it if someone takes power and goes masterz on them and cracks down and gives everyone some jobs. and everyone in UMT.. don't even think about quiting.. so help me god.

eh if u kick jay ill take him. also, jay, you cant upload tiffs to photobucket for some reason. they needs to be gif bmp jpg or png.
