Yes, everything that happened in Halo Wars was made canon according to Bungie.

The Pillar of Autumn at Arcadia is not canon. The Pillar of Autumn was in storage at the time and only a short time before the fall of Reach was it taken out of storage. Someone is wrong here, and I'm saying it's Ensemble as every other book came out prior to Halo Wars.

Cutscene model, Mark V armor made by me, aswell as the texture handmade

this model will only be seen in cutscenes and mostly glimpses, you won't encounter it in whatsoever way, just to say it again



E1: win, i got the 47th page

I am saying that you are way to invested in what you think is or is not cannon. Bungie decides what is or is not cannon and even if it contradicts itself if Bungie says it’s cannon then it IS cannon. Bungie says that Halo Wars is cannon. Feel free to disagree their decision but Bungie is the control of cannon not the fans.

I fully expected to be flamed for this.

1. Grunts are too small to be converted effectively into combat forms, and so they are converted into carrier forms. Halo Wars does not support this.

2. Jackals cannot be infected by the flood because of insufficient calcium in their bones. Basically, their bones are too small, and they are too skinny. If the flood tried to infect them, their arms and legs would burst and make the body even less useful. The flood merely use them as food or as additional biomass for conversion into a gravemind.

As far as I can tell, everything else in the game fits canon, except for those two things.

I agree. HaloWars broke the 'original' canon, but as Dennis said, HaloWars is completely canon.

See, this is what happens when 2 completely different companies make a game based in the same universe, they conflict -.-.........

Well it's a good thing no one cares.

Can I see a link, please?

Lol at resolution.
Also if that is for cutscenes then you can at least add more detail to the skin. Maybe some browns and grime from fighting the flood. Anything to make it custom because all you have been doing is slapping together some rips and calling it yours.

and models made by other people.

Keep in mind folks, this is a huge project. Massive amounts of work to do, so time shouldn't be wasted re-inventing any wheels

yes but credit is due where credit is needed. And permission is needed to use the content made by other people.

Just because you don't care does not mean other people don't care either. But I completely understand if you're not mature enough to grasp the concept that people are allowed to have their own opinions.

Response:

Grunts were ASSUMED to be too small, and have too little biomass, to turn into combat forms, because we didn't encounter them any of the other halo games. Guess our assumptions were incorrect.

Ah, I see, a reminder. Maybe they'll remember... maybe they won't... we'll just have to wait and see I suppose

Okay.. So I have to ask Bungie for their Halo 1 Master Chief every time I use it in a mod?

I'd overload with fail about this post.

At your question, I believe that once Lone Warrior finds a 3p animator, or convinces one particular animator, we can get the flood into the vehicles. If he succeeds, then yes, there will be flood controlled vehicles.

Maybe you should try giving credit to the people who actually made all those models you claim to have 'made'.

That Mark V was made by FlyingSquirl, a very high up member on the 405th and one of my good friends.

Yeah, I wouldn't bother trying to claim models from Halo you didn't make as your own. I've gotten to know the majority of them and can call out their stuff on the spot.

No, as the EULA says you have permission to use the content. But it cannot be sold for a profit and such.

I told you guys I can't >:U

Cannon is a gun.

The flood were scary, in Halo 1, and the models were pretty damn scary. The fact is, no matter what your custom models look like, they wont be scary, because your not fighting them.
You'll most likely be thinking, oh wow, thats a interesting ally.
It is Halo Custom Edition, yes, but that doesn't mean custom will be better for everything.

The Flood weren't scary, they never have been. I was 5 when I played Halo CE, and when I saw the Flood, I thought, "Ooo... A new thing to shoot..." not, "Holy crap, FUTURISTIC ALIEN ZOMBIE DISEASE!"

In my opinion, the Halo Flood only start getting creepy and disgusting in Halo2. Thats what we're trying to keep. The scary feeling can still be kept. Turning a corner and seeing bodies lumped together can still be scary.

I remember when I played AvPGold for the first time, I played as the Alien, and the way they did it made me scared of the other aliens. No not when they were up in my face, but when you could not see what was going on, the hectic battles.

This is what we hope to achieve in the Flood Campaign, hectic battles, dark enviroments and to show the true nature of the Flood.

Martyn, its mostly BP stealing the credit.

Yeah, no need to bash the entire team just because of one particular person. Anyways, when I first encountered the flood on 343GS, (I was 7 to be exact) I always got lost on the way out, and the flood nearly made me sh*t my pants a few times. It's one of those moments in gaming history where I felt that I was literally in the game, and the enemies were actually behind me. I had this experience again in Dead Space.

Yet another fail.. You are 13 you say. You said you were 5 when you killed the flood and such. That would be an 8-9 year difference. Halo CE wasn't out until 2004. Great job douche..

Halo: Combat Evolved was released on November 15, 2001. I am correct, you are wrong.

The xbox game was released in 2001, the PC and CE game were released later on.

Still sad.


Anyways, the only person here who I want to see his work out there is newbkilla's.

BP should just be kicked off the team, hell, he doesn't seem to even help, but instead bring down the team.

Funny though, I bet you guys are going to jump on this too and say its not true. Although, the facts are clear. BP failed since I was an H3MT member and he was ripping the teams things. Good luck with the team, hope you don't let BP ruin it with doom crap and other stuff.

Like others said, for Xbox it came out in 2001.

@Rouge: I do not believe playing Halo and encountering the Flood would not have been scary to a 5 year old. Although I can't prove you are wrong, I highly disagree with your statement. The reason being is that even though you may be a "tough kid" and "isn't afraid of anything" type of person, the Flood being scary was something about the game that would most likely want the player to play more of it. I for one wish I could go back to when it was scary to me, and get lost in 343 Guilty Spark again.

The flood in Halo 2, didn't seem as scary to me. Halo 2 didn't set them up properly. You knew they were there before they showed up.
But, I do now agree with what you said about showing how scary the flood will be, and seeing the true enviroment of the flood, so you changed my mind there, good job!
I still think using the old models will be better, but oh well.

Any progress?
