I was wondering if people would think it would be cool to redo the original MP maps, but with a twist. Instead of certain people hiding behind invincible warthogs and thin metal panels, i was thinking of redoing the materials so bullets penetrate them. Think CoD style. Im sure someone has done it, but all the mp maps? i think not. It shouldnt be too hard, and i was just asking the community for their opinion. Think about it. Your on bloodgulch with a sniper. that one noob keeps hiding behind that extrusion on the top of blue base. Instead of playin whack-a-mole , why not shoot threw the metal with a high powered gas fueled rifle? sounds good me. BTW, im not thinking completly realistic, just what would be cool/fun. Im not talking about going through every material, just things that make sense. Thin metal, wood, water, etc. Not rocks and such. Just let me know what you all think.

That would just make everything unbalanced.

works pretty darn well in Cod

Sounds cool

That happens to be the one thing I dislike about COD. The fact that people can shoot me while I'm in cover. Cover is supposed to be there to help you not get hit so if bullets penetrate that, then it kind of defeats the purpose. Also, most of the original halo maps are made out of solid metal. I don't remember seeing any wooden structures, besides trees. And if it won't penetrate rocks, I don't see what the point would be besides shooting people through trees.

Hide behind more solid cover then >:0

I like this idea. now that I think about it I have always hated how some of these things were never in halo.

Its a good idea. The only problem though is if you look at the MP maps most of the cover is stuff like rocks, trees, and the bases look like there made out of thick metal, so there isn't much bullet penetrable cover. I say give it a shot anyway and see how it turns out =D.

I think first we should make cover more significant in Halo. I don't usually see people get in cover; they just rush into the warzone because they know they will respawn. Look at Gears of War. It's Deathmatch gives you only one life to work with, so you have to play smarter and not rush in guns blazing.

No, its applied in the projectile tags, and tells what materials it either reflects off of, overpenetrate, detonate, or attach to.

True.



Trees would be easily penetrated by fast bullets. Most metals are not strong enough to stop a gas powered bullet.

And it wouldnt just be static objects. Vehicles, bipeds, scenery. Anything that is able to be shot through. And Elephant, i laughed at that comment.

THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!

I never asked how to do it. I asked the community what they thought. Read the whole post, not the first 3 sentences.

EDIT: Sorry pakar45, i misread your post. My xfire is lordofblake.

He was just trying to help, no need to yell.

Its already been posted :\

Proof:


@ UnevenElephant5

I wasnt trying to come off as yelling. I just wish people would read everything posted in a given thread before posting anything. I may seem like im nagging and getting all in Silent STRKR's grill, but im just tired of seeing people post things that arent needed. No offense to Silent STRKR, but what he had was irrelevant because Bo already posted it. Im trying to say this as respectful as possible and im just trying to contribute to the community.

Technically, it's counter-productive to try to contribute by keeping others from contributing ._.

I think I'll try this idea out when I have time, and record a video.

Its not contributing if its already been contributed....

Anyways, a video is cool. since im currently away from my halo computer, i think it would be great to test the idea. Try it out, see if its cool. If not then scrap the idea, if its pretty cool, then keep going.

debatable. Someone may be able to word it better so more people would understand it.

Just saw this.
I don't get how my comment was humorous :\

True. But some may also word it worse... Not saying Silent STRKR did, but he did clarify it well. That is not a bad thing. I did look at it from my view, which i already know how to do it and just assumed others would. But it is a good thing that he said what he said.

Wait a second. Halo's engine can allow for Ballistics penetration?

Sniper rifles. Learn them. Love them.

^This. FTW

what he means is that it will only work with scenery because as soon as a projectile leaves the bsp it dissapears.

TLDR Set projectiles to overpenetrate the materials you want. It will pass through everything but the BSP.

Hmmm. Interesting problem. Would flipping it in max solve the problem? Makin it have an inside might work. I wouldnt know but it seems like a logical guess.

Also, Much of the cover is scenery, and somethings that are bsp can be converted to scenery tags. Like on hang em high, those pillars that most people use as cover could be scenery.

i would suggest that since you hide behind penetratable cover, any projectile overpenetrating the cover would most likely lose some of its power. Would it be possible to reduce the damage points of such a projectile in Halo?

i think yes, ill have to check guriella.

using trees to block the way and hit people?
seems like a great idea :)
+rep

Press E to flip tree?

Destructable scenery doesn't sync online.

Why ruin our dreams of syncing you Elefant?

If you have dreams about syncing destructible scenery, you are a weird person.

Because if I don't ruin it, you'll spend the next 2 or 3 months trying to sync destructable scenery, so I'm saving you time by telling you it won't work.
