Look at it. Who was the first to come up with the idea of a silenced SMG? CMT came up with the idea of the silenced SMG. The silenced SMG was featured in ODST. Some of bungie's animations also look VERY similar to the ones done by CMT. Do you think that Bungie copies off of CMT?

i always thought that the silenced smg was thought to be on H2, but didnt cut it.

I'm pretty sure that the silenced SMG was thought up by CMT.

Actually it was originally going to be in h2.

However, I can agree to an extent about this.

Oh, I always thought it was by CMT.

troll

Techinaly no they didnt Copy it. CMT uploaded there tags. then they were Bungies.

IT was originally a part of h2. The art book even has it.

It's in the tags, but not the actual game. You can compile it into levels, it just doesn't appear in the default SP or MP.

The silenced smg was from h2, the specop model was our idea. There's a fair amount of things i've noticed that we've had first that they then had, but I wouldn't be so sure to call it copying. We both did the same things, there's bound to be parallel evolutions in our content.

They still stalk us on this forumz.

Still thou I KNOW that some bungie member's still look at what the halo custom edition community is doing due to Penguins The Pit being showing up on Bungie.net and I think CMT too.

Theres a silenced SMG for H2V, its in the example.map when you compile it.

I don't think it's really copying, CMT wasn't the first to come up with the idea of a surpressed gun.

Nah , dudes , CMT copied the idea of silencers for guns from whoever invented them.

H2 was going to have silenced SMGs but they were scrapped for some reason or another.

i herd u leik silencers/original

We had porta-turrets first, right?

I still think there is or was a person from cmt working for bungie.........

you guys did first arteen.

Halo 2 had the marines/grunts carrying turrets, and place them. But you couldnt destroy them and use em.

sorry, but no dice.

all of bungies ideas are based of bungies content, and ima guess cmts is based of cmts content, bungie doesnt have secret agents rifling through halo maps thread copying good ideas, if bungie makes a battle rifle with a grenade launcher or a modified halo one ghost that shoots blue needler projectiles (apparition) then we'll talk, k?

you mean bungies content is based off of bungies ideas.

both, actually, it started with their ideas, then they made the content, but with the halo 3 assault rifle and reach rifle, I guess theyre pretty sure they thought they got the ar right in h3, so they based theyre reach ar off of halo 3 content, but they had the idea of what the ar should look like and be called and fight like so, yeah its a bit of both but ur mostly rite

By portable, I meant detachable. We had that implemented before Bungie showed it off for Halo 3. I never said that they stole our idea; we just happened to come up with the same idea as Bungie without just copying off of them.

I didn't say that either

Oh look, Bungie is copying because they come up with simular ideas... snap back to reality.

and is this turret in any maps or vids???

That is easy. NO.

I daresay Bungie copies off Infinity Ward though , they have a weapon which works and acts exactly like a Thumper from MW2.

Because Infinity Ward TOTALLY invented grenade launchers /sarcasm

Maybe so, but Infinity Ward copies off of life, they have a weapon which IS the thumper.

BUNGIE COPIES OFF ADVANCEBO.

When the first Halo came out, every other game developer started working to make shooters like/similar to Halo. Halo set standards for the FPS (as did Marathon back in 1994)

I thought Doom did.

You implied that I said "they stole our idea", with the line "bungie doesnt have secret agents rifling through halo maps thread copying good ideas". I responded saying that not what I said. Like Masters said, we came up with the idea in parallel.


Does it matter? That said, we've had it since at least 2006, we've shown pictures of it, and it's not in any released maps because deploying it tends to splatter the player trying to use it.

All I'm trying to say is that CMT and Bungie both came up with the same idea, and I think that's neat.
