Why dont you try to make the marines capable of swtching weapons and blowing sh-t up?
Or perhaps it's impossible , which is why there is a knife , of no use.
Fat lot of good a knife is going to be against people with guns. Unless you replace the melees with the COD knife thing , they did that to cut corners , no need to animate the weapons in melee.

AI can't / won't switch weapons. And knives are pretty useful for stealth operations.

^They won't need them for T&R. Or they're just too lazy to use them.

But heck, why spawn an argument when you could just remove the stuff on the belt?

Because it's pretty.

Replace the knife with a Hornet then.

you could remove it altogether i suppose....didn't really think of that, more time to work on other features anyways

"Fat lot of good a knife is going to be against people with guns." Unless its a spetsnaz ballistic knife

Don't register a new account just to spam. I know who you are.

BTW, no energy swords?

You saw in the Broadcasts , all the swords explode when they fall from enemy hands. So , to answer your question , there are no swords.
Unless ZTeam donates some sword tags , anyway , the CMT dont want to add in anything at this point of the project , when it's so close to release.

The reason why :

How is the sword overpowered?
They could set a battery for it.

For those of you complaining about the knife being useless against enemies with guns...

You've never heard of a combat knife have you?

or a spetsnaz ballistic knife :D

No.Just a big blue two-pointed knife.

The point is, how are the Marines going to use it?



First time I saw a double-post.

Ed:Oh wait, the point is that a post was deleted.
Edited by Ethereial on Jul 18, 2009 at 02:16 AM

The marines won't use it. It's just there to make them look cooler.

Oh. What else need tweaking? Unless its a bug I think it'd be ready.

Will you be able to drive the AA-wraith?And will any mission have an objective to hijack/destroy Specific Vehicle/AI?
It will be really cool if you will hijack a banshee for a mission.

What do you mean, on the model?

Well, for one, the model isn't done. It needs rigging, textures, needs to be put in-game, the list goes on.

Mod wise, there's way more that we don't tell you about. Stop thinking that we're holding out on you.

This is @ Ethereial.

"You" as in me or "You" as in everyone else? I never thought you were holding out on me/us, but I'm thinking what you mean about "holding out".

I do believe someone said this before, though.

im pretty sure the AA wraith is drivable. I saw a pic on the old SPV2 thread where there was a A wraith firing at a Covenant Spirit. And the Spirit was firing back. Unless the marines can drive the Wraith Im pretty sure the AA Wraith is a drivable vehicle

Just make the AA Wraith fire slower than the AA Wraith on the site.

Q : Can we drive the AA wraith or Hijack it?
A : You can drive it on all versions of HCE , but Hijacking is specially for 1.08 users.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question , what is the point of 2 SMGs if they only differ asthetically? May as well just put in the better looking one.
Unless they differ in ability.

So is the Hawk a VTOL? You press space and it goes up at a fair speed, you press Ctrl and it goes down at a fair speed.

What does the AA-wraith fire? Does it fire big plasma bolts or explosive stuff?

I guess fuel rods/colored shade projectiles.
It will be cool if the Needler Ghost hijack would be while holding the Spikes and not the vehicles body.

Needles snap off, chief falls on the ground and gets run over.

Well,isnt that supposed to be stationary needlers?and needlers arent strong?

They do. Several special operation levels use the specops one. The rest of the levels use the standard SMG.

a50? The suppressed version should at least have more accuracy.

Are there boarding anims or will the Elite just offer John a seat?

You board a vehicle then you kill the operator. Yes there are anims for it.

We coudl never get it to fly well that way. It handles similarly to the banshee.

The AA Wraith fires the same projectile as the new Shade turrets.

But wait, shouldn't be some vehicles wherein you don't kill the driver when you board it?

Ed:Cant' you give the Hawk 'modified' pelican physics?
Edited by Ethereial on Jul 18, 2009 at 11:38 AM

just get it to fly like a pelican.

i think the sparrow hawk has thrusters facing the opposite to the face of the vehicle so in all senses i think it would fly like a pelican sept a bit more speedier.

so fly up *space* fly down *whatever your default crouch button is* and then you fly forward with "w" and whatever direction you point you mouse is the direction the sparrow hawk will fly.

But now am imaging how it would feel driving it like that.... i think we outa stay to the banshee imo. even if the pelican is more "hawk like"
Edited by The Barron on Jul 18, 2009 at 12:11 PM

That would be a good suggestion if pelicans could fly well. They loose altitude as you move foward.


That's not how it works, if you board an enemy vehicle you kill them. It has to be that way.
Edited by Masters1337 on Jul 18, 2009 at 12:16 PM

It makes it easier for them i think and it takes up less tag space plus i think it would be alot cooler if you could beat someone to death by pounding their skull inside out.....then just kicking them out of their seat.


but thats just me
