Project Epsilon
Oct, 23 2010

Created by Inferno with contributions from Flibitjibobo and Flaming Rain.

Epsilon is a single player map based on the character Agent Washington from Red vs Blue. After being implanted with the damaged AI unit Washington goes partially insane and must fight his way off the frigate "Thor" that he is currently stationed on. This mod includes custom cut scenes and AI variants.

To load the map open the console and type:

game_difficulty_set
map_name epsilon_sp_final

Note: This project is just leftover from about a year ago and I decided to patch it up and throw it out there. This is the last bit of work for the CE community I will be doing. I am currently dedicating all of my efforts towards an unamed UDK project at this time.

Downloading, will give crit about gameplay when done

Pretty awesome. First time i've ever seen a spartan roll.

I vaguely remember a WIP thread on Modacity about this; downloading now.

Yeah the wave defense was some experimental code I did. The script generates the waves so it goes on forever.

I didn't like the wave thing. It was to easy, and would of been cooler with a Halo reach type ending were they finally get you.

As for the frigate part of the mission...

The encounters were very repetitive for the beginning of the mission all the way up to the cafeteria and a bit after. Alot of the encounters were essentially the same, and the use of the POA as your BSP's also made me lose interest in it. If you had used custom BSP's I think you may have been able to create alot more interesting and involved encounters.
There was a few encounters I really did enjoy and those were the ones mostly at the end. I was like "yes!" when I finally saw that you should use a warthog as a defense turret. Thats been an encounter in the back of my head for a while now for something like this. Not exactly the same layout, but its essentially the same. It would of also been nice to have more enemy characters involved, like, for example, something higher ranking then the other black spartan type guys that would:

A) Look Different
B) High powered gun
C) Have probably around 3 guards.

It was also nice to see that there was actually a story involved into this, most sp missions quite frankly dont have one at all, and its actually really sad to say that. Most missions could have much more potential. Imo, yours could of had more potential as well, but out of most other sp missions this is a pretty decent one.

This rapes every sp mission ever made. Even spv2.

Heh, this mod was created about 3 years ago ( i started it around the same time as SPV2 started getting worked on ), so it's very far from perfect in that regard. I just never felt like finishing it. Using all stock weapons there isn't much you can do in terms of encounter variety. Human vs Covenant is much easier to diversify because of all the weapon and enemy types. I did my best with what I had at the time but it is lacking in that regard.

This is great! Tons of custom anims, skilled scripting, smart ai, and even voice acting! We need more stuff like this.
Oh, and you get to shoot marines a lot. That's my favorite part.

And spartans.

Video of the wave test part. No sound, but the music is awesome.

There was good and bad.

Lets start with bad and get it over with:
1. shotty, sniper and pistol. I never ran out of ammo.
2. DONT START WITH PISTOL, start with lets say an SMG and have to kill for a pistol.
3. Good story, but why did you say frigade and then used a hylecon cruiser?

Now the good:
1. Mixed things up, not just spartans and marines, but camo and some good weapon contrasts.
2. Good AI.
3. Chgallenging, nottoo easy, not too hard.
4. Good story, needs a sequel.

other:
If you make a sequel, include covenant and more weapons.

1. How is that a bad thing?
2. Why? You start Combat Evolved with a pistol.
3. You never see the whole ship from the inside, so you can't tell.

I had a lot of fun with this map. Good work Inferno.

The rolling spartan AI.

THAT WAS SO AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW MANY ROUNDS IS THERE I ONLY GOT TO 20

99999.

OH AND I PLAYED WITH DEATHLESS, AND I STILL DIED WHAT THE HECK.

lolol. Those black spartans will melee you watch out.

1. I never used any different weapon becuase i never had to, it was too easy to kill marines with the power weapons.
2. It is too powerfull in this situation
3. The part where you launch your escape pod from doesnt exist on a frigade.

all they need is that dude who made the head crabs's armor lock and they'd be perfect

I don't think Inferno wants to model an entire frigate just because you are bothered by the canonical accuracy of a single player mod for a 9 year old game.

deathless doesn't protect you from assasination

So just say he is on a cruiser.

I just beat it on heroic and apparently you can only do the wave thing on normal D:, but I got a cool puppy instead.

<3 You.

>.> You missed what I was saying completely.

I didnt ask you to make a frigade, that was just a point.

But it was still a fun map.

Excellent work.

theres no such thing as a frigade, your argument is invalid.

lol^

There's no such word as 'theres'. Your argument is invalid.

Meeling spartans in mah halo?!?!? OMGWTFBBQHAx

I dont say this often but... this map is bad@$$ even if its ont 100% custom i till think that this is one of the best maps made.

your a 2010'er, your argument is invalid.

Your and You're are not the same word. Your argument is invalid.

'your a 2010'er' is not a valid statement.
