I heard it was phong, i just dont know much about it :P

I just said I heard it was made using Phong.
Never said I know much about Phong.

yeah i heard it was phong from somebody too man

more like rimt reach inspired mapping team. xD #lolz


anyways the stuff looks nice but fix the needler firing effects there should be no pink when there is blue needles

Honestly, the only thing that I see that is inspired from Reach is the thing on the top of the Plasma Pistol and its' core. Is there anything more?

It's really detailed. Reach has lots of detail too!

This is pretty much it.
I can't see much other than the pointy more mechanical looking plasma pistol.
Is the guy who made the model doing the rest? or just that?

For some reason I'd expect the supercombine's explosion to give off sharp shards, rather than the clean "smooth" explosion you have currently.

On a sidenote, all these graphical improvements, how will they affect performance?

I've yet to see anything noticeably decline on my end and I have a 8600 GT

As for the performance, it's difficult to say since we don't have dozens of different computers with wildly different hardware specs at our disposal; on my laptop's Nvidia GT 540M, it knocked an avg. 76 FPS down to a staggering 74 FPS, but I can't say how representative that is of older architecture.

E: oh, and if, like me, you lock it at 30 FPS so that you don't get the idiosyncratic animations and effects, it's pretty much a moot point anyway

I just died and got resurected by Jesus.

Will you guys be updating your Chief as well?

Sorry if that's already been answered.

hmm for some reason i thought the sparkly stuff at the end was millions of bits of razor sharp shards going everywhere, guess im just too high right now man haha

That needler is unreal.

Holy **** HDoan, haven't seen you in forever! Wassup?

OT: Love that needler :D

Moar pics/vids plox? :3

It's not "sharp" enough to my (and 6 other people according to youtube) liking personally. A screenshot is nice and all but when I see it in motion it feels way too soft. The huge soft cloud stands out much more than the shards at the end (which I frankly didn't even notice).

And even in that screenshot, those "spikes" which I am assuming are glass shards or something, I would expect alot more of them coming out of a super-combine explosion.

This is all just my personal opinion though, I won't lose sleep over it if you don't take it to heart.

SPV3 > HA10? It's more likely than you think

Well, HA10 actually revamped the bsp models. If you guys had someone doing that, then I absolutely guarantee it will be better than HA10.

spv3 is free, so it wins by default

^Agreed.

From what I recall, in SPV2, they added new areas to bsps.

I don't wanna wait years for one person to remodel the bsps, so ftfy.

Yea. SPV2 was awesome in that fact. The added BSPs made it an entirely new campaign, in my opinion.

Completely disagree.

Elabortion:
Halo CEA remodels the entire campaign including the BSPs which is more than just fancy environmental shaders. It is also a title that runs on Xbox 360, so I'm asuming the new BSPs and stuff have higher poly counts etc.

For the rest it's personal taste, CEA uses classic tags whereas SPv3 is something different. To each their own.

But from a techological point of view, I don't know why kornman would say something like this. Perhaps an odd form of humor.

HA10 has remodelled retextured relighted and revamped everything. CMT just has a lot of new features.

I have a question,
Will you be keeping the current videos and storyline with the characters and voices, developing your own, or just removing cinematics altogether?

hey Masters.. is it possible to enable animations on UI with OS? i mean scenery, bipeds, etc..

Rambo says you can have animated scenery on it already.

i got an animated spartan scenery and it didnt show animated...

We have no intentions of disrespecting the games story or cinema tics.


That would be a question for Korn, not me.

It's probably possible, but I personally haven't looked into it.

Wow its been a while, glad to see the mods back on track for completion, only problem is don't have Halo CE installed onto my laptop :/ And no one seems to be selling a copy of Halo CE where I live now. Anybody know whether or not I can use my old Halo CE copy and use the same key to install? Or is that a no? Also is there a place to buy Halo CE online, as in to download it? Thanks in advance, and the mod looks outstanding so far, cant wait to play it.

You can download Halo Custom Edition from this site ( http://hce.halomaps.org ). Combat evolved, I'm not sure.

Hey I'm just wondering have you done any work on the flood yet? If so could you possibly (you don't have to) show us like on photo of what one standard combat form looks like.

DO NOT SHOW THE FLOOD. KEEP IT A SURPRISE. THAT'S WHAT MADE THE FLOOD COOL THROUGHOUT.
