probably not. it would have to be big, and heavy, and slow. it would be one shot and slow reload. you could give the spartans a hook for a hand.
the show "the deadliest warrior" did a show with pirates. you could look at it for the finer details of weapons. their was alot of obscure weapons and stuff. check it out

No I wasn't there, but what role does sniping have in Caribbean piracy, none. And I know because that is not what the crows nest was ever used for. Besides, sniping is not what a pirate would do.

yes that might be tru, but how do u know the player wont try? hell i use the full rod as a artillery gun arcing it as high as possible. never underestimate what a player will do with a item.

i say we even give it more of a realistic look to it. dont have a reticule. cause back in the old days you could aim right at some one w/ a gun but it could still miss. and make the guns have like a 2 hit kill. since the reload would take forever.

Okay, if you put it that way I agree. I've had many online experiences on Halo CE and players do so many things in the game that I don't attempt. I always look up how to find easter eggs and never look myself. And also especially on Coldsnap when someone exploits the glitch to get into the other team's base and just spawn camps.



I agree, but not about the reload part, I was actually thinking to give it a modern reload time. I know it's unrealistic, but what Halo CE player would have that kind of patience, I sure don't. This is also going to have an extremely user-friendly gametype system, the readme will have a weapon set key in it, i.e. musket = shotgun, cutlass = plasma rifle etc.

You could also have a revolver weapon to add to your list.
(and then of course dual revolvers :P)

There were no revolvers in the age of Caribbean piracy...

i think he means the flint lock pistol

http://www.thepirateking.com/historical/weapons.htm

That should help.

You guys have to understand that I'm only putting the very basic pirate weapons in the map. However, I will include a few specific pirate weapons.

capture the flag could be . . . you gotta steal the keys from the dog! 3 Keys releases the kraken, which kills the entire opposing team

Arg! and throw in some wenches!

Oddball could always Be a Captains hat.

Hmm.... (optional) Voice/Narrator is Pirate voice....

Here's a list for game types:

race?: either a captain hat or a treasure chest to mark it...
oddball: treasure chest
capture the flag: one sided: enemy has keys and you are to capture and bring back to your base
and open a treasure chest (or either slap happy idea)
two sided: steal the other teams treasure chest! (or either slap happy idea)

Juggernaut: umm.... red coats vs pirate? umm... no idea.....
King of the kill: run for the treasure chest! the more chest means the more doubloons! or a big X (Slayer idea)
etc...

note: I got some of these ideas from Slayer, Slap Happy, and maybe other people that i haven't mentioned (if so... then tell me so i can edit it)

Nah king of the Hill should be a Giant Red X on the ground

hmm... yea.... ima edit :p

If you love pirates, there's another game not halo related.


It's Called "Pirates, Vikings, and Knight 2"

If you have a source engine game (Counter Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2)
you could get it for free.

What fun is that ? :P

i have a suggestion about the weapons problem. what if it were modeled off of the disney movie "treasure planet"? they were pirates, but they had futuristic weappons. just a thought

Ohai

WTF

Someone make a pirate biped NAO!
I could model a ship, but I wanna do standoff first.

in stead of making a whole pirate biped why not just put a pirates hat on the Chief.

or just a cannonball.

You do realize this forum is "Halo Custom Edition General Discussion" right? Besides, if your post is not Halo related wouldn't that mean your post is off-topic?

nah... master chief with a pirate hat and a hook!

arrr there be a fine matey there!

King of the hill: - entirely on the ships mast, yardar, brace, sails and netting, and of course the crows nest

Okay, if I post a blueprint of the map's layout, could someone make the model of it?
I've been really busy so I haven't had the time to do a blueprint and I don't know when I can get to it, but at some point I will have a blueprint done. Also, I need to know what program can be used to open up a model, could someone link me to a thread that has a link to the program and also give me the name of the program (I am still pretty much a noob. The reason I want to make maps, is because I want to develop my own games after college, and I figure that Halo CE is a good place to get experience, getting my own mapping team together is also what I want to do so I can get some experience with teamwork)

One more thing, the last thing I want to be is a selfish noob, I joined quite recently, but I was reading the forums of this site daily, and I want to gain respect by earning it, I have noticed the way you gain respect, and the way you lose it. P.S. does anyone think I'm one of those noobs?

Pegleg too

Actually, no. I'm not one of those members who care. As for model editing, I use gmax. I plan to get 3DSmax or other CAD programs to go professional, but I've gotten really good in gmax. I'll model the ship because I'm bored right now. I don't need the blueprints; I actually know a lot about boats and old ships.
