Who are you asking?

even if so, the forerunners were genius, they wouldn't go for primitive bullets, nor the uncontrollable plasma, they need something far more unique. something that really sets them apart

Here's an idea for a forerunner weapon,: maybe a hand-held version of the enforcer's spiker/needler type weapon or the sentinel auto-turret:

Eh, I'm asking you, because you seem to be the person in charge of weapons. And they'd probably use something energy based, like the sentinel beam. Think you can make a Forerunner-styled turret? There probably won't leave rifles and stuff lying around, but turrets fit in just fine.

Oh, and try to keep it away from the h3 style. It can be inspired by it, but we don't want a copy. After all, we need more custom stuff.
Edited by Gamma927 on Jul 15, 2009 at 10:07 PM

Just put the auto-turret on a tripod and that would make a good sationary turret, or carry it around without a tripod like in the pic.

damn... *puts away snowbound turrets*
but sure, i'll try something

how about i make that gattling gun above though?
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jul 15, 2009 at 10:12 PM

But that would be too h3 like, and it's hard to do FP for a 3rd person weapon. Remember, we're shooting for custom. We already have a lot of h2 / h3 stuff.

Who wields this forerunner weapon though?

Why can't you just make it so that. When you pick it up. You switch to third person view. You can do it with vehicles. Why can't you do it with weapons?

the player...?

how about i make that Automated Turret though?



I can, why?
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jul 15, 2009 at 10:15 PM

Sentinels or some backstory saying you found/raided some forerunner weapons cache.

Oh, OK. Sorry.

Nothing to be sorry for, I was telling BP why the turret would be needed switch to 3rd person view when you pick it up, like you suggested.
Edited by SegwayMaster1324 on Jul 15, 2009 at 10:31 PM

We need more custom things, that haven't been done before.

Still, it would be interesting to have the turret, that along with other Forerunner weapons, maybe a Forerunner rife or a hand-held Enforcer spiker/needler as a I suggested.

Wow love those, are those from that halo mmorpg concept art?

question is, is that custom enough, if i made those?

no automated turret =(
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jul 15, 2009 at 10:40 PM

Personaly for me it's custom if someone took the time to make it and put it together reguardless of what the concept is (h2/h3 etc).

Edited by SegwayMaster1324 on Jul 15, 2009 at 10:42 PM

well im not gonna make it for shiz and gigglez, if lone agrees i'll model those and texture it

[10:20] ( (warlordkillsall): The tags we have now
[10:20] ( (warlordkillsall): are Halo 2 and 3 assets
[10:20] ( (warlordkillsall): This is custom edition
[10:20] ( (warlordkillsall): not halo 2 and 3
[10:20] Karrde (karrde47): The reason CMT is so succesful and has so many fans is because their content is completely custom. Yes it takes longer to make, but longer is better if it is completely finished. You don't want your mod to be like the Decay maps.
[10:20] ( (warlordkillsall): I like custom content
[10:20] ( (warlordkillsall): But finding people willing to do it is difficult
[10:21] ( (warlordkillsall): Were going to need more custom stuff
[10:21] ( (warlordkillsall): Gamma
[10:21] ( (warlordkillsall): Any ideas?

So I came up with the forerunner weapon idea.

I see what you mean Gamma, as much as I love the auto-turret I guess you guy need something less H3 themed. How about a mini portable enforcer mortar/missle launcher?,or a emp device that sentinels use (it makes your shields go down in h2 when a sentinel blows up or when you stick them) and you can use it against other sentinels or drains enemies's shields in an area (1 time use only).

make up your mind, then come back to me =P

....as in what i eventually shall be making

Takin for my h3 reference pack.

Just a suggestion for a forerunner heavy weapon make the impact effect create projectiles in a wide arc that look like electricity and home in on nearby enemies.

Now I am working on c20 Library/The Key.

Basic level plan follows:

You crawl out through one of the tube things leading into the Library. As you jump down, you find scattered Covenant equipment and Flood and Covenant blood stains, and a few shattered sentinels.

As you progress further on, you encounter light Covenant resistance of a few Grunts and Elites.

Now what are the Covenant doing in the library? Well, basically, it was never written that the Covenant never entered the Library. They had a stronghold on Installation 04, and no doubt they would have sent troops to search for the index before the Flood.

After you clear off the Covenant, you move into the next area, where there's a small battle between battered Covenant and sentinels. Sentinels will be your main enemy for the rest of the level.

Anyway, you kill both factions, with the help of flood reinforcements, and proceed to the lift strucutre. A few Covenant are battling a wave of Sentinels and a Sentinel Enforcer. The sentinels will fly down from locations high above you where you can't see them spawn, and will not stop respawning until the enforcer is down.

To get up the lift, you'll need to turn on the lift using a switch, which happens to be irritatingly blocked off by an energy shield that will only be deatcivated after you kill the enforcer.

Once the lift is activated, a few more combat forms will drop down to assisst you, a few carriers as well.

The second floor goes through the identical routine of fighting sentinel with the help of flood reinforcements before proceeding. You (and your flood allies) will have to battle through rooms filled with the robotic guardians until you reach the second lift. Then things start to get interesting.

AS you activate the second lift, a small cutscene will start showing MC, guided by the Monitor, fight his way through your flood allies on the first level. Running short of time, you'll need to ignore him and reach the index ASAP.

Upon reaching the third floor, you find a small Covenant outpost that has managed to hold out this far. An enforcer, aided by a few sentinels, comes up and kills them.

You progress on through the third level. Unlike the second, most of the sentinels here are dormant and have yet to come into action due to the short notice. You wander through a room of dormant sentinels, and you round a bend to find a few sentinels, floodified. The flood, basically, found these dormant sentinels and added flood biomass to them, overriding their systems and turning them into kamikazae units for the flood.

You, some combat and infection forms, and the flood sentinels will progress into the next room, this one filled with active sentinels that immediately target you, plus two enforcers.

After you destroy the sentinels and the first enforcer, a cutscene begins, showing the Monitor fly by in the air and MC running by you. Some flood attempt to go after MC, and follow him round a bend. You will stay and destroy the remaining enforcer.

After that, you will run to the lift to the 4th floor, only to find it already at the fourth floor. MC has already reached there, and you'll hav to wait for it to come down again before you can go to the fourth floor.

Once on the fourth floor aka the index floor, you'll walk through empty rooms full of downed flood and destroyed sentinel pieces.

When you reach the room just before the index, you (and your flood reinforcements) will be greeted by numerous sentinels and a few enforcers.

A long and hard battle follows, with Sentinel and Flood reinforcements arriving. If you drive off the sentinel forces, you will proceed into the index room.

A cutscene will start, showing MC and the Monitor teleporting away with the Index just as you enter the room, leaving lots of dead flood behind.

Unit List:

Flood
Player

Flood Combat Human and Elite - Elite and Human combat forms for the flood. Wield various weapons of different types.

Shielded Flood Elite combat form - Elite combat form with shields. Wield various weapons of different types.

Infection Forms

Carriers - Modified to drop anywhere from 4 to 10 infection forms when exploded

Flentinel - Floodified Sentinel. Kamikaza unit, smashes into enemies on first sight and blows them itself up, along with the unlucky enemy.

Some other forms that might be added.

Sentinel

Sentinel Minor - Unshielded, basic Forerunner guardian unit against the flood.

Sentinel Minor shielded - Sentinel Minor equipped with energy shields.

Sentinel Major - Play Halo 2. Its the gold colored sentinel that fires a blue beam which does more damage than a regular sentinel beam. Has energy shields.

Stealth Master Sentinel - Variation of the standard sentinel without energy shields. However, they have active camoflage and use it well, especially in the dark areas of the Library. Be wary.

Enforcer - Massive robotic enforcer constructed by the forerunners - they prowl the Libraries on Installation 04 and 05.

Covenant

Grunt Minor - You know these guys already. =P Seen at the beginning of the level.

Grunt Major

Elite Minor

Elite Major

Hunter Pair - Seen only once on the third level

Shade turret

Cool, I'm in there.

Very Creative. cool

Please edit that, un-necessary quote is un-necessary.

Also, I fully support the idea of the Forerunner turret.
Edited by Lone Warrior on Jul 16, 2009 at 12:12 PM

Lone: Are the any Flood Pelican like the in H2?

For the bit with the lift coming down after Master Chief has been ahead of you, show some Flood corpses in the lift to show how MC has pwned all of your Flood allies.
Just a suggestion.

Yeah the level outline is great. Also can't wait to see new sentinel types (flentinel and stealth). You should try getting some flood juggernauts up in there from Halo 2.

Juggernaught is in. Most likely, we will be making a custom model and texture for it. If not, just a custom texture.

Awesome. By the way, BP, you think you can get that turret done in time for our, ah, little teaser video?

I got the juggernaut in, but it's not ready for gameplay. I just showed it as a useless biped.

I have a surprise, it'll be fun a for a vid, lemme work on it now though.


Automated turret isn't a complicated weapon, if someone can get me more refs than the 3 pics i got and some random youtube vid with a turret glitch lol
there are 7 automated turrets in the entire h3 campaign, someone coincidentally got a save game with the turret at hand?

6TH PAGE WTS?
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jul 16, 2009 at 07:01 PM

We want a custom spin-off, not the automated turret from H3. As Lone told me earlier,

[15:40] (: Plan C is now in progress
[15:40] Gamma927: which is?
[15:41] (: Plan Custom

Basically, we're beginning to replace most of our rips with custom weapons, ones that aren't close to Halo 2 / 3 remakes. It's much more interesting that way, because everyone who has Halo 2 / 3 have seen those weapons. I'm pretty sure that they don't want to play with the same weapons from those games. Halo Custom Edition is for custom content, and we might as well put in more custom stuff.

In a nutshell, we want a custom turret, not the Halo 3 automated turret.
