Same with marines (unless you changed it)

Its to give the impression they rested a bit between battles so it seems like they can take a bit more damage

too bad the marine hurt animation makes marines just meat shields. Is that changed?

False. They are helpful in groups of 3 or more.

True, Marines are tougher than people think, but the wounded/hurt animations they play makes it so they can't fire back, which means if they're fired at constantly they're screwed unless the animation ends and they can fight back.

Well of course thats what the personal shield is for so your piles of fat can stop being your shield and your warm little pillow you can cuddle into on Those high plaetuas or those Cold mountins on the Halos.But wheres the money to build personal shields for every single marine.I hope theres some sort of enhanced marine with considerable abilitys.

The marine shields are not cannon fly, they are just their to balance marine/covie fights, that's why you can't see them.

The only thing I understood at all from this post was the last sentence.

I think he's telling us about what the shield is for, and also something about over-weight people...

Energy shields, I mean.

I've heard the pistol's targeting laser is in the model, so I'm guessing it's not in the collision mode? Never mind that, but does the laser have a targeting laser?

Ed:Speaking of shields, does your weapon still have shields?

No, the bigger laser.

You mean the tiny one that appears before the big one that makes stuff go boom?

The laser is in the fp model. It's just a long 3 sided cylinder.

Hello Masterz if you have time to respond please do, i would like a small comparison of your a.i. to that of halo 3 just to see where yours stands.
now lets start with individual units shall we.

halo 3 marine-cmt marine (will we no longer feel the urge to kill for ammo :D)
halo 3 grunt-cmt grunt
halo3 jackal-cmt jackal
halo 3 elite-cmt elite
halo 3 brute-cmt brute
halo 3 hunter-cmt hunter
halo 3 flood-cmt flood

cmt: custom maping team. not to be mistaken for OMG WERE GONNA MAKE HALO 3 STUFF FOR YOU CAUSE YOUR TO POOR TO BUY A XBOXZZZZ mapping team.

and josh i dont hate you... just stating out the facts.

Wrong.

Ooh. Finished , ill start to see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
What are these : "Tweaks" you refer to , Masterz?

lolz alright great answers...but none of which i was looking for, and thank you barron my heart now glows hearing you do not hate me XD

Any ways i have been on the forums long enough to know your not remaking halo 3 (ps i have halo3 and an xbox...and a ps3 so im not poor) and what i was really looking to hear was the comparison in terms of A.I. not models or skins, though i do appreciate your repley nugget, and i wanted it compared to halo3 only cause its got the best A.I. in the series so far.

The AI are a lot smarter, especially on UNSC side. The covies still need some messing with before we can call them done.

Yep. I don't know if it is possible, but I think they could include it in the projectile. So no more burst of lazar, I assume. And I hope the laser doesn't actually bounce off Covenant shields.

Ed:For this page's first post, it should be obvious.

That's hard to tell from the latest broadcasts. Perhaps you should increase it for human vehicles. :-P

Also, b40new needs more warthogs.

New warthogs?
-As in , variants , numbers , placement?'
Arent human vehicles sopposed to be way more fragile then Coveneant ones?

And yet Covenant vehicles are destructble,and human vehicle dont >:D,you should add MANY more warthogs,you cant survive in this GIANT bsps with 1 or 2 warthogs.

Are there boarding anims? Or does the Elite just step out and give it to Chief as if he were the Arbiter?

From Modacity ...

Lol...

he has a knife

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

Boda bodada im lovin' it!!!!!

though maybe instead of knife 2 or 3 grenades

Lmao, the guys over at modacity dont really like the grenades, which they complained on the spartan biped.

well it doesn't have to be a belt of grenadas just maybe 2 next to each other in place of that knife, unless of coarse you plan of implementing a knife melee attack for the marines ;)

That would be pretty cool, but I doubt it will happen.

Personaly, I think the wrists look too small.

The grenades were terrible.

ok maybe then a pistol holster, with a pistol in it or just the holster alone either one would look better than that knife in my opinion, anyways if you stick with the knife make it a bit smaller

Then if they do that maybe some non-forumer that downloads SPV2 in Autumn of 09.Will register here and complain to us "Why does the Marine only use his when theres a gaint,buetiful,powerful,godlike pistol in his belt.!!!!!1111!!111! cry cry cry cyr cyr pitfullness pity pity cry pity." In similar words can the marine hold multiple weapons?

well if that happens he'll come on the forums but then see my post and realize, "o i see now they replaced the fugly knife with a nice looking pistol thanks to joshvaliants comment ok now i don't have to complain"
