Or we could not put it in at all and make them read the readme D<

Who reads the readme? o.O

I doooo. There's interesting backstory in some.

Yeah. Like Gamma's.

Your human campaign is going to be like Metropolis in Halo 2?

you wil read everything... =p

i dont think its a bad idea to make a cutsene of all the people in the main credits, but i think you should make it interesting, not like credits at the end of a movie, altho u could do then when u finish :)

make it like it would cam ofer your name , then cam over whatr you did, for me e.g: cam over my name, cam over the models i made... and so on, if your an acter, cam over your name, cam over a good part of your act, things like that to make it interesting.

I think it's pretty stupid not to use much Halo music, it gives Halo the feel it has and changing the soundtrack will make it lose some of it's flair.

^^ smart

we should make a odst variant of sergant johnson :D

thats kinda the feel i was thinking of, you know like a partly destroyed city under siege, but there is still some resistance.

and i guess we can put the credits in the readme, but i would really like to put the credit cutscene at the end of the campaign

Ok so i guess we will put the credits at the end in a cutscene.

but make them not skippable, because then nobody will watch it

what I think is that we make them not skippable at the start of each mission, and also please do include some halo music cus without it it won't seem haloish that much anymore and also if you are gonna put some halo music in please put prepare to drop in that would make me very happy

If it's at the end and not skippable, I would probably just press ~ and type quit.

^^ I support this post. :P
Well mythril I was thinking that we could do like CMT did and turn off devmode

I'm not sure you can stop the "quit" command...it's a console command, not a devmode command.

can we turn off the console in the map along with devmode?

Pretty sure console can't be turned off.

even if it could, you ccould just exit.., nmot like u can stop people from exiting

thats why i suggested it be put at the beginning, so people would have to watch it in order to play the campaign

But do we really need it? I mean, it seems kinda odd...it's not really that needed to let everyone know...they could just read the thread/readme.

...
If you can, could you make the beginning cutscene skippable? It is a pain in the rear end having to watch a 30 second cutscene over and over because you die before a checkpoint. I keep doing that on Legendary, for the original campaign.

How do you make it skipable? I'll go have a look at the original scripts.

Save a totally unsafe checkpoint directly after the cutscene. Problem solved.

That's an ending? Elaborate...

A medical pelican... Painted white... With a red cross on it... That's where I stopped reading.

Why not jsut use a regular pelican but with medics riding in it?

I'm not sure you understand, a WHITE pelican with a RED cross on it sounds stupid, and a waste of space.

Wouldn't that mean that the Covenant would shoot at it first, because it saves the lives of humans?

Or a different ship altogether...

By then, the Covenant would kill all the survivors, meaning that there's no purpose for a medical Pelican. White is easier to see, anyway.

SOOO confuising

I don't want one of the brothers to DIE :( would be sad. I like nexus idea of flying off into the sunset better. This way everybody is happy :D

but every story has a little bit of sad in it, you could make it so ( not sure if this is how it goes but) make it so they take all 3 boddies back, and like then in the peil they revive him or something, like the bullet missed his brain, or hit his helmit and only knocked him out, and he woke up in the hele, somethhing like that to put u at the edge thinking its all sad, then they all live and its a happy ending, altho we need to now plan what happens arfter this.

You do realise that to follow commander's script, one would have to animate the marines to do all that?

Really? I thought the fighting part would just be part of gameplay, now that I think about it though, that would be an insane amount of animation. D:
