does anyone think this would be a good idea?
i went through the work in my head, and it should require a bunch of scripting. shuttles shouldnt be hard, but i just want to see the models/characters. would anyone do this?

You can't mod an FPS to an RTS

I would argue that you could, but it would be rather limited.

Making Halo into an RTS would be stupid, but certainly bring some of Starcraft's assets into Halo (two games that are actually very alike in terms of their content) is not a far-fetched idea at all.

yeah i tried to state i just wanted to see the content in it. it would be fun to see templar's and zerg melee eachother.

You're right. No one would ever think of doing something like that.

HAHAHA!!! No one saw that coming.

lol me and my friends were talking about how in the ads and pics it looks like an awesome fp. then everyone gets pissed when its a RTS. lol

halo wars was good.
It was a game where ODX couldn't bisch about fp animations.

My only problem with the new RTS games is they think for some reason they need FPS style cutscenes.
Game poly count, a couple thousand
Cutscene poly count, a couple million.

Except alot of times, cutscenes are pre-rendered, and shown in the game as video files.

Basically this. Also, Since we have those models in SC2 I don't think there is any problem with ripping them from the game but that's such taboo around here....

Well, yeah, but that isn't what I am trying to say.
It just seems weird that they would put so much effort into very well modeled and textured cutscenes for a game like an RTS game where 95% of the game, or more, will be with your very much smaller models and crappier textures with very simple objectives.

What I meant by that was attempting to even script/get something similar to an RTS in the Halo 1 Engine.

Excuse me for not clarifying, I know Halo Wars exists >_>

Its not weird. I wouldn't want to buy a game with crappy cinematics.
An RTS isn't an FPS. Some people find RTS to be more fun than FPS. Some people prefer strategy over fast paced action.

Your post was pretty much an opinion on a genre of game you obviously don't like.

Advancebo - 1
ODX - 0

Fight!

Edit: Oh, Cebo was actually replying to eliteslayer instead of me har har...


[Disregard this I suppose]
FYI- I play Starcraft II quite often, and I've played quite a bit of the first game back in the day as well.

I'm no stranger or hater towards the genre or the series.

IDK if he was talking to me or not. Truthfully I play RTS quite a bit. Mostly older RTS games though. I likes my AoM. Makes me think of Clash of the Titans a bit.


And that's about how many people left the theater after he said it XD

I vote for MMPORG - Halo.

Could use OS to make servers work together so that if a person visits a different part of a map they go to another map on another server...

some people like both the same.

You do realize that Halo 1 used to be an RTS game...

Is this actually possible? If so, that could make for some cool projects.

i havent personally played sc2, my 2006 computer has too crappy of a graphics card -_-

You do realize that that was a long time ago and the engine was completely retooled for it to be made into an FPS when Microsoft bought it out?

And here I thought people were going to make Halo for SCII.
I haven't played it myself nor used the editor, but from what I hear, SCII is SO much better than HCE. IMO, you want a Halo RTS? Play Halo Wars or do something with SCII. Its too much work for a limited (both gameplay and graphics-wise) experience.

because a starcraft FPS wouldn't count as a starcraft mod right?

if Halo weren't dead this probably would still be a possibility. nowadays everybody's just having a jerk fest over who can make the best Reach remakes, nobody cares about anything else.

too bad. won't be seeing this in-game.

Way to generalize the community. I'm sure someone like Newbkilla would be able and willing to model gun that in a flash. Not everyone here wants Reach remakes. Reach isn't even a good game. But of course, I should instantly draw assumptions and make conclusions based on what I've seen in my first 5 minutes on this forum. Therefore, yes, this dead community only cares about Reach remakes.

okay let me reword that. Reach and Halo 3 weapons, Reach and Halo 3 maps, real life weapons, and Call of Duty maps. anything outside of those is a rarity.

I've never seen anything on here nearly as original as stuff like this, because most of the people here are so stuck in their hole of the Halo universe and tacti-cool military stuff

That stuff used to come around often. How long have you been watching this community?

i could attempt mdoeling some fo the stuff, not that itll be perfect or exact, caus ei might add a few minor details of my own, but ya, if i do mdoel the stuff, pm me refrences so i can make a model pack of them. i wont texture rig or anything, but i will mdoel :D

btw i mean teh gause rifle thingy
