the reason they call them reclaimers is because the humans are forunners,which is why they are called reclaimers,because they were supposed to reclaim everything their ancestors left behind.THAT'S also one of the reasons huragoks (engineers) heal them other than the fact they love to tinker with stuff.But what does all this have to do with cmt spv2?

And the Drones hate them, because they steal their jobs.

For all those, wondering, the exceptions on a30 aren't random or unfixable. There won't be any exception errors when we are done.

Drones have a good reason to be mad, as the only ships they can work on are Brute ships, and Lighter Than Some, I think it was, took their jobs in Contact Harvest.

I'm I the only one who thinks engineers would be pointless at all?

I think they would be pointless, but cool nontheless. Either way, CMT already said there'd be no Engineers.

Yeah, and got ripped apart for it.

The Brutes tend to use the Drones for technical purposes more than the Engineers. For example, In the level "Crow's Nest" in Halo 3, you are at one point in the level instructed to return to the ops center and arm a bomb to destroy the base. When you walk in, a Brute is talking to the Prophet of Truth. If you wait until their conversation is finished and Truth is gone, you will hear the Brute say "Have the Drones scour these machines! Find out what these demons know about the Ark!"

Yeah, Drones can repair and fight, so they're better than the Huragok.

Engineers would be cool, but the whole point of them is you don't see them. They fix the items, move on, and generally aren't noticed.

What about marine engineer guys on the pillar of autumn, lol.

Huragok are far more efficient as far as repairs go though.

Its fairly balanced actually.

Is it me or is my clock screwed? Last reply came 8 hours ago.

But is CMT adding any cutscenes?

A game without cutscenes is like Pie without fillings.

I don't think so. I do know that they are taking out some cutscenes.

Pumpkin pie?

I mean new cutscenes.

The legendary secret ending and one or two more things.

A couple random parts of the opening cutscene I think, from what I heard. Check the broadcasts, they might be there.

They also removed the little training part at the beginning of a10, where you test your targeting and activate your shields. The hatch opens, and you go, just like on heroic and legendary, except it's for all difficulties.

Yeah, im pretty sure everyone knows how to play Halo CE.

To sum up SPv2 , for all of you who dont know ,
Cutscenes that are dropped are : Legendary ending where Johnson fights with an Elite over an AR , the starting scene of Halo will just jump to Keyes telling Cortana to give the coveneant a warm welcome.
Gameplay removed are : Training sequence in the start of the game if you play on Normal or Easy.
Gameplay added includes : At least 4 more hours of gameplay , up from 8 , due to the new objectives and larger parts of levels.
Vehicles such as Wraith (2 variants , AA and Motar) , Hog (3 Variants , Rocket , Gauss and Chaingun) , Ghost variants (Standard and needler) and the SparrowHawk human aircraft, New Shade turret , Scorpion tank and a possible Banshee with a boosting feature. All vehicles apart from the Spirit dropship and the Pelican dropship can be used.
Newer weapons include , the Battle Rifle (Stronger Grenade Launcher) , Assault Rifle (H3 Variant) , SMG (2 Variants , only differs in look) , Spiker , Custom Shotgun , Custom Sniper , Custom Plasma Rifles (Standard and Brute Variants), Custom Plasma pistol , Spartan Laser , Rocket Launcher (H2 Variant, comes with lock-on feature) , Custom Needler , Sentinel Beam (2 possible variants , red and blue) and a Custom Coveneant Carbine. (I dont recall seeing the Pistol , Flamethrower)
New additions to weapons are the Deployable turret , Hunter Cannons (3 Possible Variants, one for each type of hunter , Anti-Infantry , Vehicles and Aircraft) , Brute shots and Fuel Rod.
New Bipeds : Revised look for the Elites , New Brute Bipeds. (Variants of Hunters) and revised Mastercheif Armour and an Enforcer (Halo 2's Anti-vehicle Sentinel).
Cool stuff : Pelican and Spirit dropships are capable of providing covering fire for their allies. Friendly fire will be reduced due to Smarter Ai. Boarding for 1.08 Halo CE users. A CMT UI Menu to activate applications like TimeFreezing , Fly Camera.
Sad stuff : Devmode will not be allowed.
Random information : If you can play SPv1 , you will be able to play SPv2. Spartans have been removed , except for yourself.
Enjoy SPv2 when it comes out.
Thanks to Masterz1337 for his broadcasts. Vern125 for recording the Broadcasts , the CMT for making Spv2 exist and other people that posted information about it.
All of the above is still a WIP and is subject to change.

Thanks for the post. But let me tell you that I saw a silenced pistol pickup icon in one of Vern's videos, on a30.

And someone also posted a screenie of a black pistol (i think with laser sight) and the elite Bipeds are more Halo3ish,BTW,will you be able to play SPV2 without custom UI?with the devmode "Map_name" command?

Devmode is only disabled in maps that don't allow devmode.

I saw a flamethrower in one of the broadcasts and the fuel was in spv1 so you shouldve just said it's custom cuz the anims are changed a bit as well as the sounds

No. It'll play normally, up to the part where Keyes tells Cortana to give the Covenant a warm welcome. Then, it'll jump straight to the "let's thaw him out" part, skipping the hangar cutscene.

what?!?THEY SKIPPED THE HANGAR CUTSCENE!!!The part with Johnson!?!CMT,why are you taking all of the great parts out of the campaign?this just sickens me!!!!!!!

Hanger cutscene is stupid. Plus we ran out of script, and BSP space with it.

I wont miss it.

There is a pistol . It's silenced, black, has a lazer, and uses ironclad's animations.

And I think I saw the flamethrower in a broadcast.

Will there be a normal fuel rod cannon,or is it an hunter assault cannon varient?And i was right about the pistol.

There's both, I believe. You can get the hunter assault cannon, and the fuel rod cannon that the grunts carry.

There are 3 hunter cannons I am sure.

The hangar cutscene isn't that important, it's mainly an excuse for Johnson to rant about how he's Johnson. If the trade-off is more gameplay and scenarios, I'm good.

random edit: there's not more to the final warthog run, is there? (such as more distance to cover, one last fight before you get to the Longsword, etc.)
