You mean Halo 3? The Longsword in Halo 2 looks marginally different, just better resolution.

And in regards to the MAC Station and just oddball in general. Is falling damage included? Obviously, you need to ignore that for slayer and CTF since youll be taking long falls, but in Oddball, you can just take the ball and jump off the station. People can follow you, but the map is big, and that just destroys gameplay.

Oddball is only in the interior of the mac station.

Very cool idea. That should make for interesting matches. :D

Thats the whole point the Halo 2 Longsword has better graphics. (And looks much nicer)

So the maps are nearing their final production stages (beta 0.8) and thus far things are flowing well. Are there any remaining suggestions? I would love to hear from you guys before I move forward. So far, the mac station has proved to be an awesome aspect to oddball gameplay and gorgeous eyecandy in all other gametypes. I am also considering adding one to contamination but this is only a thought.

I am open to any and all suggestions/thoughts/crit.

New Video?

Also, the huge covenant ships are driveable right?

Which huge ones?
If you the cruisers, no.

Actually, yes. Smaller, but still big.

way back he said the covenant cruisers were drivable

I will have the final release trailer available soon for all you good people as soon as I implement the remaining items and start polishing for release. Let me just say it's going to be epic.

As for the ships, there are two operable covenant ships.

There is a CCS class frigate, which looks similar to the battlecruiser, but has a few noticible differences, and a carrier singleship, which looks identical to a carrier only on a much smaller scale (around the length of two and a half longswords). The human side has a revamped draco and longsword to counter. The CCS class frigate has a pulse laser and plasma torpedo for weaponry, and the carrier singleship has similar weaponry to the seraph on a larger scale. The UNSC Curse (scaled up draco) has archer missiles, mac cannon, and nuke flashlight.

I tried having large scale covenant ships but the lag was unbearable and they were nearly impossible to maneuver. I can just imagine what noobs would do with them too lol I want the gameplay to flow consistently and the gigantic ships were just bad news

Are the Covenant Battle ships going to Have an intirior? as in Hangar and Controll room (drivers seat FTW)

btw most of us know we cant land Vehicles inside other vehicles

capable of glassing?

Probably not. You could have a downwards oriented plasma beam with weird graphics.

Just a taste of whats to come...

Atmospheric Mac Station:


Inside the Mac Station (Oddball arena):




The Vanity and Humility Covenant Flagship:


The Flagship's Hangar:


The Flagship's Bridge:


The Flagship also has a custom modeled armory.

The UNSC Halcyon Class "Genocide" also has a hangar, armory and bridge.

Looks awesome, can't wait 4 it 2 come out!!!1

I would just like to say:

TOTALLY EPIC. You all are going to recieve the best Christmas gift in existence. Well, except Coldsnap....but that's not a gift, that's already out there. Enjoy the updates.

So nice of you to finally rejoin me on the forums Tia. Lol @ you having to make a new account. (you fail at remember passwords xD)

(insert epic custom silenced pistol shot here)

Pew

Man I can't wait for this to be released.....
I might as well beg for it.




PLEEEASE LOL.
(jk, but rly i can't wait.)

Does it matter?

the one he modeled..

Stop your bickering and be happy, or the explosive sniper bullet will eventually find you in your sleep....

Wow, the old build I have looks like a total POS compared to this.

Ender wants me to bump this, idk y...

Look good, BSP could do with a bit of work though, ain't you the guy who worked on Extinction ect..?

Yeah years ago haha

In retrospect if I would have known Extinction was going to get as popular as it did, I would have put more effort into the Bsp, and more attention to the various unbalances and unfinished weapons.

But hey, that's what the Trinity maps are for right?

does anybody have any crit for the bsp's? I can't really think of anything else to add to them

how about adding the original flak cannon from h2

These maps should be awesome then :)

I would crit, get on xfire.

Hm. Wonder what would happen if you could play Invasion(Reach) on this.

Blind stab- Fuel rod gun?

Yeah that's what tey call it in Halo 2.
Also, quick trivia. Did you know the same flak cannon from Halo 2 existed in Pre-Halo?
It's true.

Strange (title) My other guess was that it was the Halo 2 Shade turrets

I'll sic my snow on you.
