Yeah if you kill one of the phantoms using omnipotent then you can't finish that wave.

Oh yeah... why dont ya make one to demostrate us all how firefight maps should be, im sure you can ^-^

Cheats are one of the main reasons things break.

I got the chance to play it and it was more like a BETA then a release.

Tips:

Fix pickup icons and HUD messages

Use firing positions so that the AI don't just sit around where they are dropped off.

Fix the three weapon glitch.

Release tags xD

lol he can do easily do all of those except release the tags, mainly because they aren't his and half of them have been released already.

Personally I just want the phantom and the shot gun. I have most of the others.

Then ask Shade117 for them.

I have an unprotected version of the map, and I looked. The map is blanketed with firing positions.

He has them? I think he dislikes me but I guess it's worth a shot...

Hmm

the ai must be set to something other than guarding at guard position then.

What does guard at guard position do?
I may need this knowledge for my map...

i'm pretty sure it makes the ai go after you if you're in their firing position area.

Basically makes them guard an area. Like guards at a army base. They do nothing unless threatened.

Basically.

They will actively engage any hostiles who enter their field of view. AI magically see encounters works lovely with this.

Played it.

Quite frankly, I thought it wasn't that great. Not sure why people think that it is. It was essentially 2 drop ships coming in and dropping off guys every round. That gets very boring, very fast. The use of solitude was also a bad idea. Its not fit at all for a firefight map. You should of just planned out and modeled your own bsp. I assure you if you had done that the map would of already been 10x better. This way you can come up with better encounters, fit in your own ideas, and more interesting concepts. There are alot of things that could be done to modify firefights into your own way and make them alot more interesting then having the simple concept of a drop ship dropping off a encounter every round.

Thats not the point, the point is that the AI have no tactical value on the map. There just there to be there.

yeah, and if your still doing this, i guess i can help you with the weapon HUD crap... its a weapon(unit) hud interface problem right?

I don't get why it's fun. The ai were no fun whatsoever, they just stand there and shoot at you when they see you.

Actually, not really, It might just be me but on legendary(Yea, you still have to get their attention) they dont just sit around and wait to get killed. Just stay in the center of the map and it should work fine. As long as you take the first shot.

Hey guiz! I think I found a bsp that I could use in a firefight map!

What do ya think???!!!!1111one

shadow is doing a boneyard firefight next though, its going to be good.

lmao my previous post was a joke btw.

I haven't played ce in a year or two.. but I think I might re-install for this. This is the first time I've seen halo 3 armor and artstyle put into halo where it actually looks decent and fitting instead of flat, really low-res, and without much specular.

Of course some kind of purpose or small objectives thrown in would make it much more interesting, since halo ce cannot do more than one player in single player and it has trouble with syncing stuff while online with other players.

except boneyard also wasn't meant to be used in firefight.

are you kidding? boneyard is perfect, in every way

will this boneyard firefight be for CE?

I think I have your boneyard confused with another boneyard.

yeah boneyard firefight is for halo ce, and boneyard is easily the best map for firefight any day, its not great for ctf but its perfect for invasion and firefight type games.

Not for Combat Evolved, just Brains Devolved.

Hopefully Boneyard Firefight turns out well.
Make sure to have it so that you are defending one side while thet attack from the other.

Which is why Bungie forgot to make Boneyard a Firefight map in the actual game.

Piggie does have a point.

True boneyard i large enough to incorporate all the factors of a true firefight like vehicles and hunters (some thing that shadow slayer forgot or should have add), but the fact to the matter is that boneyard is just to large.

Bungie designed it specifly for invasion and other big team battle types if you firmly desire to make a fire fight, i belive that map is just too large for 1 player and therfore i heavly suggest adding ai allies and the ablity to call in reinforcements.

Yeah I noticed the elites slide across the ground when evading grenades.
It's actually also pretty hilarious to have an elite go beserk and slide toward you while you try to kill it.
