everyones argument is invalid

Cool map, the storyline was good, the beginning cutscene was awesome (except when the camera passed through the chip), dialogue was pretty good, and ending was cool. The only things I didn't like were the impossible lunchroom cyborg encounter, the repetitive encounters of 2 or 3 cyborgs with a mix of marines, and the undefined boundaries of the wave-fighting zone. Overall great map!

you're gay, your argument is invalid

The level is kind of repetitive for a while, where each encounter has a 'stunning' range between some marines, or 2 marines and a spartan, or 2-3 spartans. That one with the warthog at the end of a hallway and 2 rocket marines was kind of neat though...was not expecting that.

I understand it's kind of hard to have variety when there's not too many human weapons or human characters to use and this wasn't exactly a full-fledged project (right?..), but I'm just sayin'.

are you serious? are you really going to get into an argument about something that stupid?

I don't see any arguments going on, just joking and trolling at the same time is what I see, so you deserve a: :/

I give it a nine, because not alot of other maps even come close to most peoples standards around here

Really? You want me to be gay? Why? So youll be like me?

Dennis should delete everything but the first post and then lock the thread :D

Stay on topic.

The shotty and sniper marines had awful aim. Just to test, I turned deathless off and killed all marines except for a sniper one, stood perfectly still, and he couldn't shoot me.

Every time he did shoot me, there was enough time before he shot me again for my shields to recharge, so I never did die.

@crosshair: im talking to advancebo....

I think you're supposed to just run past them :P

Great map, some repetition, but overall challenging, interesting encounters. Good-ish voiceacting and cutscenes, and sweet bonus firefight mode at the end.

?

Aside from the one with the damn warthog at the end of a hall+some rocket spartans, all the other encounters were very repetitive and lacked any kind of unique spice to them.

welcome to the world of video games, my friend

well agent washington isn't exactly what'd you'd call a good guy:

but it's a cool story line

I found the mission itself to be pretty fun, although there did seem to be a bit too much ammo and not enough variety among enemies. Perhaps you should have added two or three "mini-boss" style Freelancers, with unique traits and abilities.

A bit more weapon variety would've been nice, too. Maybe Battle Rifles. Anyway, I hope you're planning on making a sequel. Or three. :D

Good points, SMGs and BRs wont hurt, but he only used classic wepons.

This was made ages ago. There won't be any sequels unless you make them.

If someone makes their own sequel it better have griff and sarge in it

A 9+ in my book. Definitely one of the more fun SP mods I've played in a while. Granted, some of the encounters got very repetitive, but it sure beats the shat out of having huge numbers of grunts and terrible AI. That fire fight at the end was sweet too. I had a tonne of fun. Though, you can exploit the random weapon change. Stand right next to it to collect ammo as the weapons cycle.

Classic weapons are only fun on classic-themed maps. In my opinion, larger or more open maps are bad with classic weapons, because players will always use the pistol. I actually gravitate more toward a Halo 3 or H3 ODST tagset for more open and non-classic maps.
But as far as this map goes, it works fine.

Yeah, I know, that's why I said:

Lol

Whoever it was that asked about the music, it's from the Ace Combat 4 + 5 sound track.

somebody's biased

Custom weps are custom weps. I like to have a little variance in what I play. What's the point of these guys in the community creating and animating weapons if nobody uses them?

It's not biased, it's borderline fact.

The classic tagset has perfect weapons, perfect HUD, perfect animations, perfect physics, etc. It is vastly better than what anybody in the Halo modding community could make.

Orly?

lol, jk

Having many custom weapons will never balance perfectly.

I disagree, I think cmt's assault rifle animations were much better than the classic's, and it also looked better. It's a matter of opinion, not even close to fact.


also even halo 1's gameplay was unbalanced, especially with the pistol, and thinking you could have perfect balance in a game that wasn't balanced in the first place is folly.

MPv2 ones? I disagree.
SPv2 ones? I disagree. I like teh lag's style, but I dislike the monotony of the reload. He does the clip out, clip in, and bolt push all in one motion.

ur a nub

as moose said it.

like me for example on large maps ill crack out the CMT tag set
on dark maps or mid range maps ill bring the odst weapons out
for h3 themed maps ill crack out the h3 weps
for classic styled maps i crack out h2
i never crack the h1 tagset out unless its the cmt mpg1 black pistol

Halo 1's gameplay unbalanced?!

Every single map in the game allows the person and/or team equal opportunity to grab weapons. Every single map has a high degree of symmetry in it, and every single map starts you with the same weapon regardless of anything else.

The pistol was not unbalanced, because if you didn't start with it, each team had equal opportunity to get one. Hang em' High default slayer is a perfect example of this.

Don't take me wrong, this game isn't perfect, but it's certainly balanced.

CMT is more balanced then h1 tagset in my opinon...
remember the only people thats been able to get the bungie feel i think is tm... all the other maps with classic weps suck..

the pistol itself was unbalanced, it was waaaaay too accurate and powerful, whereas the assault rifle had a rediculous amount of spred (and horrible recoil anims imo) and wasn't a very good medium ranged weapon, which is why in projects like lumoria (i think they did this with lumoria) they had to fix the halo 1 tagset to where those two weapons balance each other out
