...

Where does the operator sit? I can't seem to find the seat.

this file is unavaible to me

Yes, did you read the Readme? it explained, its there, just jump around near the the middle (on the side with the cockpit, just keep going until you hit the collision, and then keep jumping backwards and spamming E until you find it :)
And to AzN6 or whatever, try again, its being weird and doing that.

You should give it something like the Spartan Laser projectile, just as a rough placeholder until something better comes along.

And slow down the turret rotation. A lot. Something that big and scary shouldn't be able to move that fast. :P

i know, i tried, and then it broke, so i didnt do it again :)

TEH PWN

just downloaded it for a look at it in max,even tho someone will have to fix parts.that's a cool model you made there,and seeing the pic's of it with some texture added=awesome

Ender, are you going to upload the mass driver for public use? Pretty please?

Once he releases those hugeass maps he's working on.

That's a railgun, quite different from the principle behind the MAC.

It looks like the one from Halo Reach which was referenced as a smaller MAC cannon.

Hi, it's my model, it's a MAC cannon, bye! If i hear another word of this BS about it being a railgun, bad things will happen, trust me, i can make bad thing happen.

It's a Mass Driver, which is another term for Magnetic Accelerator Cannon.

u been on halopedia again darkhalo? :p

Uhhh no. The marine says it on the level, something like: "we hooked the Mass Driver up top" and "the Autumn needs cover or she'll never make orbit."

I meant the fact u knew wat mac stood for :p

Lol. Halo to me is like Harry Potter or Star Trek to others. Except I try not to cosplay as much.

There is a substantial difference between a railgun and a mass driver. A mass driver uses coils of electricity to launch a payload, occasionally into space (in this instance). Coilguns are contactless, generating a magnetic field to accelerate a magnetic projectile. A railgun consists of two parallel metal rails connected to an electrical power supply. When a conductive projectile is inserted between the rails (at the end connected to the power supply), it completes the circuit. Electrons flow from the negative terminal of the power supply up the negative rail, across the projectile, and down the positive rail, back to the power supply.



Plus, they leave a much bigger boom.

A railgun would I guess fall under the category of a MAC. For the reason that it uses a magnetic field generated to propel a projectile.

Does anyone else besides me feel like MAC Cannon is redundant? I mean MAC stands for magnetic accelerator cannon, adding cannon after that should be stupid no? But it sounds dumb saying just MAC... And MAC gun is kinda weird too..

Read my post again. The coilgun creates an electromagnetic field to move a projectile, and a railgun uses an electric circuit completed by the projectile.

And MAC Cannon is stupid. Mass driver sounds better. It is an incorrect name, as mass driver is a device used to launch things in space with electricity (this is, in fact, what they were actually used for in Contact Harvest) But it still sounds better. Plus, just as an example, don't use the MAC acronym. MAC cannon=Magnetic Accelerator cannon cannon/gun

Completed electric circuit in a railgun creates a magnetic field, which accelerates the projectile. Coilgun creates a magnetic field using electric current flowing through solenoids. They both do the same thing in different ways.

lol.strange coincidence, Just read that chapter of Contact Harvest the yesterday about the mass driver being used for a fireworks launcher.

MAC guns are coil guns, and that is a rail gun. Please explain to me why it has rails. Seems like someone got his references wrong.

Hey, captain dumbnut, go google Halo Reach MAC cannon (or mass driver) and tell me the results. I did NOT get my references wrong. and you just ruined it for the whole community. you were warned, and you did NOT heed my warning. don't expect to get my MAC tags now. it really does suck for me to have to do this. But i did say i would, and i am sticking to my word. Here, i'll even give you a link to prove what it is. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Driver. By the way, do you plan to go off and tell me, that my UH-144 falcon, is actually a Hornet, or a pelican or something? cuz like WTF were you thinking man.

MAC=/= Reach Mass Driver imo. But the Reach gun does look like a railgun.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun

Nobody's saying it's horrible or anything. In fact, after looking at the link you gave, it's pretty spot on. We're just arguing about the naming Bungie came up with/what you named the thread.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Mac

There it says exactly what we've been saying: the MAC operates as a coilgun. However, the mass driver says the same.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilgun

Now look at that page. Do you see how in any coilgun pictured, the coils go around the barrel? That's physics, the magnetic field is created around the wires, and the net effect is that it points down the barrel. In your mass driver, there are no coils, and therefore, you cannot physically have the effects of a coilgun. However, there are two rails, and that would give you the mass driving effect. It is the fault of Bungie/whoever wrote that wiki page.

tl;dr - Go read it. Stop overreacting, we're not criticizing your work, it's great.

Praise Bungie. /s

Yeah I posted on the article's talk page. Amazing how Bungie calls one principle by the name of another completely different principle and manages to be creative in the process, and gets increased product output especially in the form of misdirected arguments.

Also, I don't think you did much >_> This is the internet.

I will admit, it does look like a railgun, but that doesn't make it a railgun, now does it? As i clearly stated, i did not want to hear anymore of the bs about it, and what did i get? Someone saying that it was a model of a railgun not a mass driver. I am not overreacting, i am reacting as i said that i would, and i when i said it, planned to stick to my promise. "The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon should not be confused with the railgun, despite their superficial similarities." hmm, they are similar, but should NOT be confused with eachother, game over. I'm sorry, but now all that can be done is for you guys to hope that i feel nice at some point soon. and to Mr. Railgun, trust me, i can do more then just removing a silly DL link :P, i may not be able to fully stop people from getting it, but i can sure as hell slow them down.

Sigh... Railgun=\=Coilgun, however both are examples of mass drivers. If they move a mass, aka a projectile, via electromagnetism, they are a mass driver. Read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_driver?wasRedirected=true

So while they are usually coilguns, hybrids are being considered, and this is a fictional universe, so it's possible the shortcomings of railguns have been overcome.

So this whole argument is silly, can you please stop making such a big deal about it?

How about you stop trying to act smart and shut up, who cares what it is. Coil = Rail, they are more or less the same thing. Both use magnetic forces. So who cares which version.

Thank you. /end argument.

That was the point of my last post. The whole time I was just trying to point out why they were saying it was a railgun, and to not care about it.

Also, for future reference, telling someone to "shut up" is usually just going to aggravate them more and cause more of an argument. There are better ways of getting your point across.

To the OP, if you really feel the need to withhold it from the community, that's your choice. Don't tell everyone to blame it on someone else, because ultimately you're holding it back for an argument that wasn't related in any way to your creation, save for the name.

lol, i do understand why they're calling it a rail-gun, but it is still an improper name for it. It is called a Magnetic accelerator cannon, and that is final. And BTW it was related to MY creation, they were trying to NAME it for ME, lol, if you made an M9, and i decided it looked more like a USP .45, and wanted to prove that the model YOU made was NOT what YOU said, would it not aggravate you? I'm sorry, i did minorly overreact, but i had very good reason for it, seeing as i had said to be done with the rail-gun crap. oh and ehhem, http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=20813&start=1961 Rail-gun bs again (actually this is where it started.).

Another tag flushed down the toilet all because of that unsupervised-asperger-syndrome-forum-monkey? Don't give in to the monkey, give him a banana, then while he's eating it, stuff him in a burlap sack and pretend it's a pinata.

Put the DL link back up, and I'll give you the banana and the burlap sack. I might even attend your pinata party.

okay, got new name for it to solve everything: BIG-MO-FOKIN-GUN!!
