Well, again the experience was similar to the halo 1 campaign, but duh of course. The cool thing about is that it blends different halo stuff. including a lot of pre-halo stuff :D Also, you can feel the quality of the design of the encounters and everything. The encounters are amazing. When I was playing it for the first time, I was literally saying, omg this is so awesome when I marveled at how well the encounters were designed to fit in and interact interestingly and well with the gorgeous environments. (voice acting could have been a little bit more epic, but it was fine ) Also the fact that it is the first big sp level completely custom made from scratch that is of very good quality. That makes it unique and special.

I enjoyed it.
I wouldn't say it was DLC feeling. Actually no! Of freaking course it was DLC feeling! We downloaded it from halomaps to go into the Halo game engine. Why WOULDN'T it feel like DLC?
If we want something to not feel like DLC then I guess I am looking for game programmers, modelers, texturers, etc, etc... We'll call ourselves "Sumthin Not Done Studios".

In terms of Reach & books, SPARTAN squads are AWESOME: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpXiv9lkgB8

Yeah, that's one of the things I don't like about the Trilogy. You don't get to see any other spartans. No epic spartan squads. You get a lonely and slightly dulling feeling that you don't have any sort equal person.

Awesome vid by the way

I wholly agree. I would like a Star Wars: Republic Commando feel in Halo, where, say, you play as John - 117 still, but get to order a squad around with commands such as "form up", "search and destroy" and "defend this point". Actually commanding them to heal and go to certain weapon positions like in RC would be good too. Some completely obedient, non glitchy, non annoying AI, that don't take an hour to do what you want or refuse to follow you.

P.S. Thanks, Xoronatus

Exactly some new Game play tactics, When Fire Fight Came out for CE everyone was loving it because it was something new. Make a new game play level, thats new.

i gave him one of my old bsp's i know what its like to be new, and if people were given more encouragement they could achieve better things.

don't like rips? then don't rip...

So, some people have said HRCEMT and FRMT were unoriginal, focused purley on ripping. I proved them wrong by stating our intentions, then said I would release some of my ideas of custom content. This is me, delivering the goods.

Police:


Marine with salvaged sanheli armour and Kig-Yar shield gauntlets:



UNSC Interceptor (based on Banshee design):



'Beam hog' - Custom warthog, with salvaged sentinel beam technology as a turret. The turret is mechanical, controlled from the passenger seat. The turret is protected by kig-yar shields:



UNSC Double - barrelled shotgun:



Mark VI SPARTAN infiltration helmet:



Hunter - class ghost:



UNSC Cheetah (based on ghost design):



Lancer rifle:



Custom assault rifle, with scope and strap:



AA turret concept - a scorpion turret in a trench, accessable through and underground tunnel, and controlled by an underground panel. Controller can only be killed directly:



Mass troop assault vehicle. 4 snipers, 2 heavy weapon marines, one chaingun, one driver:



UNSC Electron cannon - A triple - barrel cannon using salvaged covenant tech. Fires rapid bursts of overcharged plasma bolts:





So, what'cha think?

Not bad. keep up the good work.

Some designs unrealistic, also might want to stop posting it everywhere.

They're not that good. They lack detail. Besides, this isn't the thread for them.

@Sergeant 1337 they're not meant to be detailed, they're meant to be outlining basic ideas. This IS the thread for them, as they were made because of this thread - to prove I had ideas for custom content, not just ripping. FAIL.

@Alberto This is Halo. Nothing needs to be realistic. It's Science FICTION. I only posted this in relevant threads to prove a point. It's not spam, it's killing a sh**load of birds with a single stone. FAIL.

Your drawing is unrealistic. The handle on that plasma laser thingy looks..odd and cartoonish. Do not need to rage on anyone that offers their opinion.

No. the point of this thread is asking why a bunch of people just rip now. It isn't asking for your team to post it's sketches. FAIL.

It's not a handle, it's a rotatable stand. The electron cannon is an automated defense turret. In addition, I will not rage on ALL opinions offered. I will rage on mislead opinions or facts stated wrongly.

I posted the sketches to prove that HRCEMT doesn't just rip, therefore it's relevant, Sarge, so please stfu.

You should rename Intercepter to Hawk. Always imagined it looks similar in Fall of Reach.

Ya. Ok. Come back to me with models of those sketches and ingame to prove you don't rip.

Will do. The Interceptor is the one thing I really want to get in-game, and I designed it so it could go in-game relatively easily. I named it an Interceptor after TIE Interceptors in Star Wars, which have pointy wings but otherwise bear no resemblance. It IS kinda like what I imagined a Hawk to be, now you mention it.

P.S. HRCEMT has never ripped. We don't plan to. Any ripped content comes from FRMT, not us.
Edited by Petera275 on Mar 20, 2011 at 04:02 PM

Thank you.

I'll release pics of the model soon, hopefully. It will probably be a bit boxy, but that's my modelling for you...

Even if it doesn't look top notch, if it's custom then I'm glad it's made. I too am angered by these hordes of Halo 3 battlerifles everywhere... which seems to be all people can do nowadays. I don't care if your map happens on reach if it has a new campaign, custom content and a new plotline that doesn't look like Bungie stuff too much while staying in the Halo universe. I also don't care if it's not Lumoria quality ( since it seems the reference now). It can be fun without beeing so neon. I liked the Covert Ops SP that came out recently, was fun and all even if simple and with many harsh corners. I never stopped myself from releasing un perfect work that I knew I personally wouldn't work further until years and don't intend to change that. I'm not saying that's the good way, lots of people disliked the RPG_Beta maps and most critics were well due but in the end, people still liked these maps much more than if I had never released them waiting for perfection.

man those are some photo-realistic looking drawings there!

Because you touch yourself at night.

I am heavily inclined to disagree

@ A MAJORIDY OF YOU AFTER THOSE SKETCHES

So, you complain about "Rippers" NOT making Custom content, But then yet, this dude shows off his work, JUST EARLY DEVELOPMENT, And you complain about his pictures, But they are CUSTOM! I THOUGHT YOU WE'RE TARGETING RIPPERS

I may be wrong or right, Idk, but in MY OPINION, This community is weak because your nothing but a bunch of jerks who HAVE to complain about EVERYTHIG, And DENNIS has SAID FROM TIME TO TIME TO TIME IT ISNT ALL ABOUT YOU. So my suggestion: Be ALOT nicer to new incoming mapmakers. I'm still learning myself, and if i walked into this community with a bunch of jerks, i wouldnt feel comfortable eather.

There, i'm done. Complain about this ALL you want now, because that's what a majoridy of you who have posted in this thread best at.

**EDIT: I'm sorry about my profanity dennis**

Honestly, about this ripping, I have nothing against it. I don't feel anything wrong with it as I rip myself as well (But I never release my maps lol) It's just the usage of other people's tags, same can be compared to as you are reading some author's book. I'm just tired of seeing these threads but I also see your point as us rippers can't do anything. It's a bit too late for me to learn animating or modelling or whatever so the best I could do is to give good crit...but seriously, why hate rippers? they're probably people who don't know how to model, etc that's it.

I'm reporting you to Dennis.

I don't rip either! Look at my custom content WIPs!
Custom Assault Rifle with Integrated Scope, Silencer, and Strap:


Custom Tactical Pistol with Combat Bayonet and Reflex Scope:


Custom Ninja Wrist Guard:

Okay albert. Go ahead ;) (you should read the edits)



And these dont look bad eather doompig, keep up the good work! ;)

These are the worst comments of all.

Not only are you telling him he did an amazing job on those quickly made sketchs, you don't even tell him how he could improve. You imply that these are amazing, which in fact they are no where near. IE -> tell him how to improve instead of "keep up the good work".

Yeh, in your opinion. But no one cares about your opinion, because your such a pain, and everyone thinks your a flamer.

So this is the reason why I still visit this forum on occasion...

The only thing that can sum up this thread is:

lol - 8 year olds

Everyone arround here needs to grow up, stop insulting each other, and actually produce inspirational content for this game.

Back when I started playing halo, mid 06, I saw amazing things, things that inspired me to learn how to mod. Today what do people have to look up to, some crappy bloodgulch mod with Halo Reach weapons thrown into them?

Look at the following, absorb the following, for they are what made Halo Custom Edition great:

Hydrolosis was the first map I ever downloaded for custom edition. I still love that map.

first maps i downloaded was coldsnap and hugeass. i clearly remember while i was downloading the hek i drew a map that was huge, used longswords, jets, pelicans, etc, wanting to make my own map.
