There better be good encounters >:V

You can make it interesting and make it so you don't win. Instead maybe at a certain point when fighting the monitor you can add a cut scene were the monitor kills you.

Yea, about that, Lone disagrees with my ideas. But instead of both of us arguing about it, why don't we ask the public?

Poll:

a) More flood encounters, flood pouring out of every location possible
b) More superior beings known as "Covenant"

Why do we need to bring the monitor into this

Why not even it out.

Because in one room, he has about 20 Covenant, and there's 5 flood allies.

This.

Depends on the Scenario, a flood infested area would have flood everywhere

While a scenario like a covenant ship should have majority of the flood behind you.

It's in the Flood containment chambers.

Then again the scenario, are you attacking, or are you thrown into it. Because even though I like being thrown into it with all my flood friends in the map I think it would be way too easy.

Not if your health and shields are cut down. You aren't a souped-up cyborg here. You're a rotting corpse that's been re-animated by a small puffy parasite. And currently, we're working on c10, when the Flood are first let out.

Its Halo 3 on Mythic ALL OVER AGAIN

Also, Lone freaked out on Xfire, and went offline. He was telling me about updates D: Then BAM gone :'(

Obviously, the Flood should be pouring out everywhere. That's the nature of the Flood. Having a large force of Covenant, and only a few flood allies is illogical. This is where a large army of flood has been contained! The Flood are weak at this stage though, so while alot of allies you will have, the Elites will still be a challange.

*sigh*

Right, to give the rest of you the story I've been trying to cram into his brain eysterday.

The first room in the second bsp has a particular door which seems to be under contention. Gamma thinks Flood should pour out. I do not. Why? Because there is a huge covenant force on the other side. Now, what logical scenario can you make that a flood force navigated its way past a large Covenant force. Oh and theres more, the door they were supposed to come through, oh look at that, it isn't broken down, or even moved, in fact, its still locked!

Logical explanation? Flood could not have came through there without getting torn to crap.

Now, I'm going to give you Gamma's side. Because there is flood on the area below where you enter in to the second room in the second bsp, that just means they control that area. Wrong, this was an error on my part I'll admit. What happened? Well, I made Flood spawn there once the player begins to bash down the upper door, to give the illusion the Flood from the last room follow you. Apparently I need to go into greater details to maintain that illusion.

I'm assuming this is the disagreement you're talking about as thats the one we had for about an hour yesterday in which I tried to explain this.

No actually, we settled that. But one thing: Why do you even HAVE a giant Covenant taskforce there, with only a few flood allies? Do you expect us to take them down? Oh look, they even have a turret.

The covenant was stupid enough to open the gate to their own doom, who knows what else they're capable of

It's not the Covenant were stupid. They deployed a large task force. It's that there's evil mission designers at work. Can you even take down 20 Covenant with just 5 flood allies who don't continuously respawn?

Just put like over 9000 infection forms in there. There really shouldn't be but a few combat forms as allies since this is the beginning of the Flood's escape, and they wouldn't have infected many hosts yet. But in the original c10, a huge amount of infection forms poured out of each containment chamber when you first encountered the Flood.

SO:

Lots of infection forms, and a handful of combat forms.

I do, but it sure as heck wasn't easy. Shouldn't be too easy, but atleast even numbers would do the job.

Lone! Hear that? I want to have continuous respawn points like they do in CoD 4. If you stay in one area, people will just keep respawning from some hidden point. However, if you get close enough, they'll stop respawning.

The Carrier forms do that in one part of the level "Keyes" where you have the sniper rifle on the ground, and you see a bunch of elites and a hunter pair fighting the Flood.

if an inection form gets a hold of an enemie, it will keep panic and act crazy, means they're harmless.

with 9000 infection forms you dont even have to fire a single bullet.

They also die too easily. Another thing in the population, is that I dislike how in certain areas, all the doors are locked until you kill everyone in the room. Do you want to keep that? Or shall I make most doors blown down by flood, so those of you that don't want to fight, can just go ahead, and run past the enemies.

The Flood's main goal at that point was to find more hosts to infect, so I personally think you should kill all of the enemies before moving on.

More hosts as in 20 Covenant with turrets?

3 turrets total. And whenever there is a section with turrets, you have a ton of allies.

So you mean the humans that come in later with shotguns are now allies?

Count it again.

Interior_flood4 vs interior_covenant5

First picture is interior_flood4. Second and third are from interior_covenant5.



For interior_covenant5:



AND



I spy a turret too.

Last pic, the door behind the covenant at least 6 flood come out from. And the first pic, I spy about 6 flood aswell (excluding infection forms spawned both with you and below.

Put those 6 flood into contrast with that huge Covenant army in pictures 2 and 3.

FTFY

Still not listening, and you haven't even played the level to begin with, so you wouldn't know how the battle plays out there. If you want it so bad, message me on xfire, and I'll make a video showing you what happens.

Well excuse me. You just gave me one scenario file, and a script to compile by myself. How should I know how the level plays out if I start with a shotgun, and the "shotgun" marine is holding a rocket launcher?

Yes, I did, why? Becuase its easier to transfer and takes less time. And you not knowing how the level plays out is not my fault, becuase for one: You don't want to compile the level (for obvious reasons. Of which you could get past, and compile a copy for yourself instead), and two: you are making blind assumptions on how the level plays out, which is what I was trying to tell you yesterday.

Hurray for progress-delaying arguments.
