1. Make it fast.
2. Make it durable.
3. Make the hull reflect bullets.

If you do that, it'd be awesome.

Its slower then the Warthog.

I dont see how you can make anything durable in Halo CE...

If I do that, it wont be balanced.

Yeah, you're probably right. But it needs to be fast enough to where it isn't whored by warthogs is what I'm saying. that's the main issue. If you're the driver of it and you can't do jack to fight off the warthogs, then there are problems right there. Besides, jsut because it reflects the bullets doesn't mean it's invincible. I've done that to my banshee and it still retain a balanced amount of damage. Plus, you wouldn't want someone with and AR to be able to take you down.

Make it like the h2 shadow, that the driver still takes damage from shooting the vehicle itself, but it kills him way quicker if you shoot at him directly.

make it faster like the one in h2 it goes almost as fast as warthog. and take out seats so its like on it h2 that would make it alot better.

I am continuing my work on getting the hoplite ingame.

Which skin looks better:

Original:


Contrastor:


The model and textures are by other people.
The tagging is by me, as in node and marker placement.
Animations by me.
Ingame by me.

Personally, I like the contrastor. As the original is to bright for me :V.
I might include both in the released tags, just change the gbxmodel.

Contrastor.

Last one. And show some in-game pics nao

What you should do is make it enclosed. That way you can have it drive slow. It would be lame seeing a transport vehicle flying by a warthog. Especially when in H2 it went like 10 mph.

In Halo 2, it is a little slower than the warthog. You could not catch it on foot.

I know, that's what I'm suggesting. Make it like the one in Halo 2 if you haven't.

@AdvanceBo: Good work on the Shadow. Just one complaint, not sure if this has been addressed or not however. Just make the textures a bit darker, it looks as bit too shiny. Well, thats my opinion anyway.

I said I will work on the shaders :V

Didn't notice that part, my bad.

have you got the folded up version for landed?

yes, its part of the animations.

I love you again, Bo.

What's a hoplite? And since when does it appear in halo 2 :O

damn, thats a shinny vehicle. Clean up the skins and I will call it a success.

its a new vehicle someone made ages ago but never finished. it doesn't appear in halo 2, Nexus was talking about the shadow
my map!-----------------------------------------v

k, i have decided to try making my first map (watch my fail) and its basically gonna be a beta of a map idea/request i had a long time ago, except now i have an actualy physical concept and layout for it

the map is gonna have artillery units, and im prob gonna use, for one team, the cannon turrets from Napalm (the human base turrets) and a few other maps i can't remember

now for the other team i need a mortar-type turret, so it can shoot over the walls and bunkers

It would be an arc-shaped firing projectory which would make it hard to aim, but fun to try shooting and hoping to get a nice hit on the attackers
I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Weapons of Vehicles thread

but can any1 help?

Wraiths.

that's a nice suggestion but A) their range is a bit too far and not curved anough for the terrain, and B), the map is pretty much only human stuff, no covenant

Human Mortars, just replace the projectile and vehicle model :V

make the blue mortars orange and red.

Hoplite test

door needs to be fully closed, less flipping (make human plane instead od covenant fighter?), and better camera track would be good. its good apart from that though

:/ That looks terrible. That was way too early to show, and I could do what you did in like 30 mins...

Just seeing to make sure it actually worked ingame.

Will that be public? Looks nice (hornet i guess?).

@HunteR: The tail bit at the back (I haven't played H3) is it supposed to be slanting diagonally, or is it just the way the pic is?

Looks pretty good hunter, but the triangulation thats in the middle but closest to the hover things seems to have some funky triangulation.

Niiice, keep up the great work

Public hornet? It looks awesome

Who is this mainly for? H3MT or HRH?
