I really like the Athenian laser. An idea: it could have those small red dots like on wall-e zeroing in on the point (if that's possible), then it could shoot a ray of very bright white light.

If I were to put a flame thrower on the map, it would be in the middle AWAY from any teleporters. That was the main problem bloodgulch had with its flamethrower placement, if blue team got control of it then they could just camp the teleporter till it ran out of ammo.

The map doesnt have teleporters so dont worry.

Now about the Athenian, it will be some sort of blue-ish light since red is for spartan laser, and yes, if it were red it would be like if you go to the satelite and attach a spartan laser with tape.

?
do you mean about the targeting? what i meant was a large circle of say 9 dots which go towards the centre to a single point, and then the laser fires

nah i was meaning the color of the beam.

and about what you said...it would be cool, but we decided to make it a beacon, it will attach and some seconds after (probably like 3 seconds or less) the beam will shoot down.

And Arby beat me...

Well actually the sniper rifle I stole the silencer idea from was just like that.

what kind of beacon (picture maybe?)?

no pic yet, its still on the drawing boards. It will probably be some sort of aerodynamic projectile.

Wai, bubble shields?

Yes we have working bubble shields.

do they sync?
are you save from granades adn rocketlaunchers if they fire it at the bubbleshield?

Yes they sync. And yes I believe arbiter has a found a way to keep you completely safe from anything in there, except for other players and vehicles of course.

yes it syncs AND with the flashlight boutton. (without removing the health bar for the icon)

it wont save you completly, even tho i could make it but it would lag a bit....insted we decided to make the blast radius smaller and weaker if a rocket hits the shields.

hold on, is this about bubble shields syncing? don't we already know the bubble shields on the site also sync well enough, and there is no reason it wouldn't sync? It saves you from any projectile, doesn't stick plasma and only kills you when some tank runs you over lol

yes but this one will work with the flashlight boutton (aka no 3rd weapon for it...) and it will have its HUD icon

^TELL US YOUR SECRETS.

tags, chocolate and some creativity

Don't forget imagination!

Since you are using some of the halo mmo brute weapon concepts in your map, I think for future maps it would be cool to see more of those concepts recreated in CE. Particularly the forerunner rifles seeing as nothing along the lines of forerunner infantry weaponry has been put into CE yet.

The forerunner rifles were ugly :V

i dont renember forerunner weapons in there...but the white carbine is purely aswome.

and yes plague, imagination too xD lol

most of them were, but you can't deny that there were some epic ones in the bunch

Forerunner rifles (I don't love the colors but those could always be changed to a more streamlined color)

Forerunner staff

An entirely forerunner themed map IMO would be incredibly innovative and something that would be incredibly new to the entire halo trilogy.

The staff is interesting, but I don't really see a point to adding it to our weapons. We currently have a large assortment of weapons, and some of the new ones we made could barely fit into the bunch. It also has to fit into everything else and be a great addition to game-play. Right now at our current situation, we don't need anymore weapons in our arsenal. And when the time does come to cut, replace, and add weapons, I think we already have a few in line.
Edited by ThePlague on Feb 5, 2009 at 05:24 PM

The only thing good the rifles would be good to replace are plasma rifles. As those shoot plasma.

They could be made to shoot other things. For example, when I see these guns being fired, I imagine them shooting a bright amber or neon blue bolt about the shape of a needler crystal but slightly smaller and with the speed of a regular bullet.

This FTFW.
Did you see the curves on those carbines? They were orgasmic!

We have no plans to create any weapons we havent either shown here, or mentioned. sorry. I might have a few interesting ideas as to what we could do with that staff...

...So erm, you are...not...going to create those...carbines...right?
Ok, that's fine, I'm alright. I'm calm, I'm cool.

/suicide

But seriously, if you are thinking of implementing those Forerunner staffs, could you please give it that bluish hue/glow like the energy sword, because right now, it looks like a ceremonial hologram rather than a ceremonial weapon (I'm talking about the blade obviously).

and what would those be? Flag perhaps?
