Well my good friend Advance Bo has been working on gemini for a while now and released his first beta today. I got the chance to be invited to the beta and what do ya know he asked me to film... so being who i am i thought it would be a great way to make a little gameplay trailer... even if it was thrown together in like 5 minutes  *warning* *some parts may be choppy. Youtube HATES HD* (if it does get to choppy just watch it in regular definition) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsFj0zF3B8w What can you expect?
- a classic version of gemini (by that i mean it has halo 1 weapons)
- Possibly a halo 2 version of this map
- Shader improvements from what youve seen in the video
- Bunch of other goodies to come

Hope you enjoy. Edited by The Barron on Jul 23, 2009 at 11:46 PM

The beta was absolutly terrible to be honest. Anyone could have done the same thing in 5 minutes.

Heres my list of stuff that makes this map terrible. 1) The shaders have no bumpmaps or specular of any kind, if you need the bumps ask me. I converted/normalized most of them. 2) All your instaced geometry is is missing. 3) Most of your scenery is also missing, the scenery you do have(lights doors etc.) have horrible shaders. 4) Your doors are faulty and will only open from one side. 5) Your missing some doors that are supposed to be locked. 6) Flag placement is wrong. 7) Your missing the gravity lift, or some sort of easy transport to the upper level. 8) Your map is backwards :) 9) The water :( 10) The clouds that are supposed to be at the top of some areas are gone 11) You have +sky materials on glass areas. 12) You have no sort of accurate ambiance sounds for the map. 13) Your light strips emit no light 14) You can land on the skybox. 15) Lack of playerclip
This is all off the top of my head mind you, im sure I forgot some things.

BSP models ripped from Halo 2 seem to be larger than they should be.

That's kinda what I thought. It's just large enough to notice a difference. I would scale it down before doing anything else.

Ohh it's a beta.. so don't say "it's terrible", by the way I think H2 weapons is the best choice.
