I'm not going to let you talk down on the great efforts people put into making our project come alive. Every single person who participated in the VA's of the trailer did so with their own resources, and they did a damn good job of it.

If you want to pay us to hire the best of the best, supply everyone with high quality audio recording gear and find someone to filter everything to your heart's content than by all means.

But you will not act like an ass and talk down to these people.

Thank you.

PS: this is directed to CLS_Grunt's belittling post, I have no issue with Tiel's.

Honestly, the voice acting is godawful compared to higher budget voice acting.

But this mod doesn't have a budget at all. Thus I can appreciate and forgive the voice acting. If my voice wasn't so incredibly annoying at the moment(Had a throat infection for months), I'd have offered my voice for the campaign, with a fairly high quality recorder, but that hasn't happened. So it's a simple matter to ignore the voice acting quality and play the campaign.

The campaign itself looks amazing. The storyline sounds very original. Looking forward to playing.

must hurt knowing you just spent the last two years working on this and all you have to show for it was that...

And tell people it'll be released soon :|

wel i liked this trailer, and i remember you (or higuy) said that you were going to release the map pretty soon, there are just 3 things i'd like to point out to be "fixed"

everything looks awesome, lighting, bsp, scripting, animations, cutscenes... just perfect, however these 3 things are bugging me just a bit, i don't know if you could or want to fix them but i'll just post them here for you to consider :

1.- the river and lake's/sea shadering looks good, but (imo) it needs a reflection mask
2.- this is something i'll leave to your and everyone else's opinion, but the atmosphere fog would look better with a bluish color and a bit more distance from the players view just like it was made in valhalla:

3.- and i noticed in the trailer that the big door from b40 doesn't have a multipurpose mask, so it doesn't blend with the atmosphere fog, you should replace the gbxmodel's shaders with shader_model to add the multipurpose map

That has actually been fixed, if you notice later in the trailer the same door is visible and has no issues. I did not make this trailer, and while it was being recorded an older build of one of the maps was used for some reason.



uhm... what?

Well it should.

The content looked pretty cool. The voices kinda ruined it for me. Especially that line "destruction is the will of the gods". Wouldve been cool with a just a demonstration. A for effort though. I can tell you all tried really hard to make this look really epic. I will play when its out!

So umm where is Sandtrap?

We do not use Open Suace, as explained in the full interview, which you can listen to here:

Anyways, I'm not sure whats up with the all hate on the voice acting. If anyone noticed, it is a step up from EP1's quality and emotion. And like Lodex said, our voice actors put a lot of effort into bringing this story to life. If some did not find it enjoyable I am sorry to disappoint you all, but please keep in mind that this is a non-profit organization made for fans by fans to tell a story that we wanted to tell. It is all just a hobby, and like everyone else's creations, it is not perfect and the mod as a whole has plenty of upsides and downsides to some.

I am curious about the MAC rounds the cruisers are firing in the cutscene, they seem to be moving too slowly. Is that going to be changed? Just wondering.

Yeah that is what I was thinking. Are they supposed to be lasers? That would be intersting. Then there would be.... 3(confirm?) ships with lasers.

You're just a sadkunt, never gonna make it brah.

Voice Acting was indeed a huge improvement from ep1, I'm glad most of the people here can still appreciate our effort

The frigates need moar

The funniest thing is, they sound like perfectly ordinary people.

Not every person has a perfect, hollywood voice.

Nice trailer, btw.

actually, we can complain about it, and give as much criticism as we want, if the authors'll take it into consideration it'll make the mod better in the long run.

HOWEVER I have no complaints, other than the fact that I agree that the ships should look like theyre firing rather than the a30 projectile which is clearly not a missile. other than that mod left me like *o*

I thought it was a great effort, I'm very much looking forward to the release of this. I think the negativity is completly unnecessary

Personally, I think the mission is awesome. You guys are getting this for free. Chillllllllll.

Looks great. :D Keep it up.

I already know why you say that you are not using it. But Thank you.

I like the box art thingy.Seems to be suited for a movie disk case.

Well if it makes anyone feel better Lumoeua got the highest poll on the CE3 website.

Not all crit is 100% legit. Criticism is nice, but it comes to a point in which fixing something is just a waste of time and unnecessary. But like you said, it's the authors decision. Taking something into consideration can make or break the mod.

That's awesome!
Even if only 57 people voted :p

How many people watched? I think it got up to sixty-five at one point.

Pretty sure the livestream had like 180'ish at some point.

Do you know how long each viewer sticked around during the stream? I saw it for like 2 seconds and then got bored and played a game instead. Sorry. :/

waffles with syrup naow plox?

This over nyanners' video

The MAC looks... acceptable. It would be far better if you made it white or gold, and made it far faster. Really, you probably weren't concerned about silly MAC scenes which make up about half a minute of the experience, while you had to do things like voice acting, scripting, and populating.

make a sub-par mod for a sub-par, decade old game and you tell people they will never make it

not sure how you get away with bypassing language filters and continually insult people who offer criticism to you, that's a good sign of a mature and successful dev right ; )

everyone must be jealous!

Sub-par mods are featured on Bungie.net, and sub-par games continue to advance and maintain a strong fanbase for over a decade. Constructive criticism looks like this:


And sarcasm is the telltale sign of true maturity.

I love you Echo.
Gurdy's gonna be dumb :-)

And that's what makes it all worthwhile. *slight bow*

And if you feel like giving me beta builds or an easter egg in Lumoria or anything, ya know, that'd make it worthwhile, too. [/subtletly]
