Question is in the title. I'm thinking about making the final covert ops mission to finish the e60 branch. It would be on Extinction, and have big vehicles not seen in sp, like mythos and scarab. However, I like people to enjoy what I create, so I want to know if there's interest in this.

eh.

The map isn't really "tactically designed", per say, to be a sp map.

no

covert ops with a mythos and scarab?
those don't seem very "covert" to me

Use Chronopolis or however it's spelled, make it nighttime and have silenced weapons. Bam, you have your covert ops.

Actually, it makes it more covert. The big dudes will have a harder time seeing Till and not to mention you will have more places to hide. Plus, it gives you a reason not to be spotted. We don't wanna get splatted by a scarab now do we? Also, it will make the confrontation with the scarab more epic. You will rise up from the little helpless guy hiding in the bushes to a guy with big booms.

I was hoping that we will have a better encounter with the traitor. The encounter in E50 just doesn't seem fulfilling. This is the guy that had killed Till's entire team so a snipe to the head just seems inappropriate. I want to kick this guy's butt real hard. Gimme the big guns, swords if you must.

good luck getting the AI to properly drive the scarab.

I'm redownloading the scripting bible as I type. And you're absolutely right elefant. Covert Ops is a horrible name when only 1 of the 6 missions is stealth based. Too late now. lol

@Chief: I already did a Chronopolis mod. http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5344

I'll do my best to have a good scarab battle, and a good duel with the councilor. Maybe a master chief cameo for the lols...

i dont like falling out of vehicles and walking for ten minutes.
so no use another map (unless you put in a self-destruct button)

No.

After playing around with the bsp, you're right. It's too big.

how about you make a custom level thats actually designed for SP.

I actually kinda like the way he's done the Covert Ops campaign thus far. He takes those maps we're familiar with and completely revamps our way of playing them. He makes it feel new again, or at least lets us experience them in a new way. But custom BSP's arenice every once in a while.



....He's just asking what we would like. He doesn't really seem to be complaining about bad ratings....

Actually, I could see how it would be covert on extinction, but i don't think too many people would like it. =\

Do what you want though man.

I know alot of you doubt me, but you don't understand how epic it is to see Jackals in an ancient Greek shield wall formation to bend before the might of the rocket launcher. Higuy is right though, I do need to learn to model.

I have 3ds max. Does anyone know of a really, really, really simple tutorial to start me out? (I've tried before, but tool errors drove me mad)

there...http://vimeo.com/11781231

not mentioned in that video is...
hold CTRL down to select more than 1 vertice.
same for more than 1 polygon.

and this would be handy for you to learn the shortcut keys...

It would be great for something like Long Night of Solace with the Sabre in Reach. If you could actually design and make a good encounter for air combat. It would be new and cool, nobody has made an air encounter tht I've seen, let alone a good air encounter.

I think he is talking about the "terrain tutorial for halo ce"

I would play it if there was an Extinction SP. Dunno how it would work out. A lot of planning would have to go in it though.
