No radar. ODST are made for space combat originally. Radar is useless in 0G.

Aren't ODST made for ground combat, and they are the first to get to the ground? keyword Helljumpers...

And I also thought that it was pretty standard for all marine huds to have a motion tracker. Can't remember where I read that though.

they will have FOF tags implemented, i dont know about radar. In ghosts of onyx it mentions something about the motion tracker using a special mirror of some kind, which would be a waste of resources on something that is going on a near suicide mission after being dropped from space.

Things I recognize:

-Graphics are perfectly possible in the 360 engine with the environment we see so far.
-SMG is resemblant to Marathon Infinity's (which means it's good)
-BRUTES FINALLY DUAL SPIKERS!
-THERE IS POTENTIALLY A POURING RAINING LEVEL!

I'm glad to see these. I wonder how Bungie will pull off a "shield" system though.

As far as I know, ODST's don't have shields. But maybe Bungie will throw a curveball and give you one.

The main thing I'm concerned about is the headshot from carbines and the spikers + Fuel Rods. All of those weapons can rip through the heavy armor of ODSTs, while plasma simply makes a mark. ODSTs wear armor that is protective against heat, but spikes and headshots really make a challenge to see how it will be pulled off.

Here is what I think about the Brutes:
-They're be able to pick you up and throw you in some scenarios, like Bungie originally had planned for the hunters to do in H3.

That would be considerably interesting.

the main character is a spartan 1 or so all the little things bungie showed, like those transcripts; referring to him as S1. (if you dont know what spartan 1 is, you should watch 'I Love Bees') (if you cant find it, IG will host a mirror of it later, possibly)

You dont necessarily need a shield system, think of Halo 2: NO HEALTH BAR. So I bet itll be just like in H2 once ur shields have depleated. Limited hp but after a while you'll regen (perhaps instantly regen)

All of this is what I think.

I think it won't be a tactical shooter. It will play very close to Halo 3. I bet that they would give the ODST's special equipment such as a sheild and radar. The SI will be the equivelent to cortana. This is a prerender so the artist they hired to work on this had to go crazy and made eveyrthing look badass so they added all those parts. The SMG could though have a silencer. The mechanics will be very similar but not the exact same so the hardcore fans will still like it while attracting new and more people.

If someone can get more shots of that smg, I'll make it for the community to use in CE.

=O

If someone can model an H3 ODST, I think that may be even better. =o

Me thinks doan has a h2 one, all that you might need to change is the visor, but that's easy...

Nah, those ODSTs aren't really up to snuff with what I'm looking for (although they look descent to use, they don't look great). I think it's mainly the textures though. IF someone would be kind enough to do this, that itself would be great. If someone could release it for the community, that would be even greater.

Just take the .gbx model, and put it into 3ds max/Gmax, unwrap it and do everything if you want, make a new texture for it, re-rig (that rig failed), and get it in-game. lol

I thought I saw a halo 3 rip of an ODST, was it DEE?

I want one though, I love ODSTs.

Give me a liable 3ds Max and I will. Unfortunately, all 3ds Maxes on my computer either don't work or are out of licenses, so I'm stumped there. And Gmax doesn't work neither.

ODST isnt in beta. Sorry!

I don't think you were able to change your helmets in the beta.

You werent but the assets were still there. Troop hog is in beta but is never used.

able to rip?

I'm curious on how the multiplayer maps will look. Also do you think the enemies will include the elites? I remember killing them in Halo 2 in New Mombasa.

That just reminded me. I totally forgot that we probably will be fighting elites too. Now I'm excited for this.

Wrong.


Wrong again.

We based ours off their H2 gun that nevermade it ingame. Our new Specop SMG though had a laser sight, but we didn't like it and couldn't come up with a better one, so we cut it. Now that we have a Cannon referance though....

well forgive me for hating MS and their xbox + xbox 360 enough to not want to have anything to do with them :P
Sure! Ill finish it when it comes for PC + other additions. Right after I get H2 to work so I can finish off where I left it at Sacred Icon ;)

Why would they release a profitable game on PC? The majority of PC gamers pirate their games, so it's not even a console seller issue anymore. It's simply about them just getting their product bought.

Especially since you will never be able to play Halo 3 on PC anytime soon.

yea well, i have patience :D; something alot of people don't actually have

A secretly leaked Windows 7 Beta screams "Looks like win" in your face. But then again. Mr. Leaked Beta yells "LOLH4X BETA GLITCH SPREE!"

Leaked as in Leaked over the internet/illegal Download

S1 might also be ONI Section 1.

1. That's an M7S SMG with a reflex scope.
2. This takes place RIGHT AFTER (No really, like 2 seconds after) the Halo 2 New Mombassa Slipspace event.
3. ????
4. Profit.

That is the only thing I learned. We already know (except for the dumb ones who don't listen) that this is at the time in Halo 2 when the MasterChief goes to Delta Halo. Might I add for those who didn't listen, that's the first time you see ODSTs I believe.

I tought someone something?!?! :O


*goes and cries in glee*

/b/ reference.

But I definitely didn't know that first bit. My friend said it was an SMG too. It doesn't really look like one at all to me, SMG's are small. That thing looks like the size of the BR to me.



Last I checked, the different layout of everything is still comparable to Vista just like ME is comparable to 98. It's the same design, just upgraded slightly. XP was the only one that had no successor on it's design.

But that latter bit about not asking for admin permission; You don't have that if you're set to administrator on Vista... At least, not on Ultimate. That much I know for sure.
