No, the spike rifle was a gun cut from halo 3 that was going to be the high ranking and chieftain brutes ranged weapon

Makes me wonder what a Brute style Sniper would be like.

I'm thinking about making a brute rifle, I wanted it to be bolt action, until I realized since it would shoot spikes it wouldn't need to eject any cartridge, I want to make it side loading to be cool and different now

I think a Brute Sniper would be like a Torque Bow. Brutes aren't high on being snipers as much as being brutal. It'd probably explode when it hits the target.

I was imagining a high caliber need, you know, it probably would explode

torque bows are win. it would be fun in ce

Spike Rifle is the Spiker. Same thing, there was no cut Brute Spike Rifle.

Brute sniper rifle should be kinda like a spiker that shoots 1 giant spiker round instead of a bunch of small ones like the spiker does. In terms of how the brutes like to be brutal I think thats pretty brutal. I mean were talking about a brute impaling marines with a giant spiker round.

There is no brute sniper rifle going into the CMT SPv2 mod as of right now since they aren't adding any new weapons in anymore. Perhaps it would be best to end the discussion on the brutes or jackals having snipers; I don't think you want to play in a mod where you get killed with a 1 or 2 hit weapon.

I have a question for CMT. After spv2 is released would it be possible to release a sandbox map with all the weapons, vehicles, and enemies as scenery? I was thinking that would be a really good idea but I just wanted to ask. Also will the flamethrower be included in spv2 or all will all you have is the chain gun?

In Halo 2 and Halo 3, your health regenerated over time with the biofoam dispenser in the new Mark armor. If there was a beam/brute sniper [in this mod] and you get hit by say a sniper-type weapon, you'll be scrambling for a health pack almost all the time in huge battles and probably even be sent back to the last checkpoint on higher difficulties. So I'm saying the AI snipers in Halo 2 and Halo 3 fit into the games' campaigns when there was the new health system. Sniper Jackals or Spiker-Sniping Brutes don't really blend in well with Halo: CE's "language". I'm not saying/implying you shouldn't play Halo 2 or Halo 3 [intentionally or in anyway].

By chaingun do you mean the portable machine gun [turret]? I'm guessing that the flamethrower is still in the mod.

I'm not sure if the flamethrower is in or not but I believe the chaingun was replaced with the portable turret. I don't know if they're keeping it or not though. They had some problems with the turret splattering the player when it was deployed, and there was talk of it being cut.

I don't know where you get your information Karrde. Flamethrower is in and Chaingun has been replaced by the porta turret.

Good, Now if only we had...... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . wow.

Thats why I asked for someone who was working on the project to respond (no offense karrde)
But what about the sandbox map idea?

From you and Arteen arguing during one of your broadcasts :/

We never cared about the splattering about the enemy with the turret.

Brutes cant aim their spikers.
They're pretty good with the BPR though.

I noticed that the brute/elite ratio was to high for the brutes and there weren't enough grunts

It could have been set up that the niper rifle mirrored the damage of a charged plasma pistol where if there were any it would take those down first, but then of course that would be detrimental when you use it and all hits would take at least two shots...

HMM... I guess no covenant snipers is a good idea

Uhh... how were there not enough grunts? Oh, and you're in the wrong thread, I believe.

About the Covenant snipers, the Shredder from Halo: Out With a Whimper is pretty nice, for a heavy weapon, that is. Like the Torque Bow, dig in and -BLAM!-. Although it'd be heck hard to avoid those, don't get them in.

They've said several times that for all intents and purposes, the mod is done. All that remains is a few "tweaks."

They never said the size of those tweaks...

They aren't adding any more weapons. It's just fixing bugs/random exceptions/glitches and other things of that nature.

Wait, for the entire campaign!

Hallelujah!

Waiting wainting waiting waiting waitng wai-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It genuinely ticks me when I see the mod saying will be out this winter when its coming out next winter.

6th part of broadcast from June.

yeah just asking cause I noticed in the video did they fix the carbine pick up icon?

Yeah im sure they fixed that just like the brute shields. But dont take my word for it.

But heres the link to the 7th part of the broadcast.

I'm pretty much content with the Brute shields, since they say "I'm different from spartan and elite shields!". It's fine to make them stationary like that, but please change the color, and make it a little more... blurred and transparent, I'd say. They should have a lesser glow/shine.

But they shouldn't be. Elites and Brutes are both in the Covenant, meaning they would use the same technology for shielding. And the Mark V MJOLNIR armor's energy shields were made using Covenant technology.

I personally wanted to also see some non-shielded brutes with lots of health

You mean like thoseawful Halo 2 damage-sponge versions?

No thank you.

I didn't want all the brute to be that way... just a few...

Then it wouldn't be much fun since it would only take a few headshots to kill the ones that don't have shields - pretty much like all the brutes in Halo 2 (where you would 3/4sk the brutes with a carbine).
