And so ya this is how the far is in just 2 days, all started from scratch XD


Oh yeah mooose was thinking of changing the design of the shields/health, so tell use what you like more:


Concept by mooose XD

So ya post what you like better:
ODST styled shields with health bar or spartan shields with a health bar.

Looks like ODST won! I'll show you guys in the next screenie :P

I like the 2nd one betta

I prefer the first one, it fits better imo.

Ignore the mask in the second pic, I made the concept a few hours before the first pic was taken.

I liek ODST styel.

x2

the health bar doesn't seem right on the 2nd imo, seems like it was just copy/pasted and doesn't merge well at all

dude, that was a concept made in paint, its not ingame, wow, i dont even, wow....

I like the first hud :)

Came up with 2 concept designs, personally i like the first one better, seems to flow more, any ideas?

First one.

Loving the second one. The First one seems to put shields as top priority whereas the second one shows equal importance between health and shields.

I'm kinda gravitating toward the first one. Looks more streamlined to me.

Looking great btw!

The first one looks more awesome, but I think the second one would be more useful when you're actually playing.
Especially if you're looking at the sky, water or anything else that's blue.

I like both... :(
But if I had to choose... the first one.

OK so im proud to present... teh new hud!!! :D

4:3 ratio for Non OS users:


Widescreen 16:9 ratio for OS users:


Any way enjoy till hearts content... :P

I thought this map wasn't using OS, so why make a HUD for it?
Regardless, I like the HUD design :)

Well when people who use os regardless if it the map has OS some people still us that screen stretching option so the screen doesn't stretch like default widescreen does, so I made the bitmap stretch out like so, so when not using widescreen/non-OS users they don't see the edges of the bitmap.

Very nice.

But for cereal, make a multiplayer so I won't be forever alone :B (Jk I read why it would be bad, but I played geophaiodlafnlsdafjkn multiplayer firefight it wasnt that bad IMO)

Meh, best I can do atm:

Definitely very sexy.
Also, the map is getting re-lit with the colors prominent in the map being slightly toned down. Pics soon.

Map is pretty much release quality at this point. Relight and new HUD are getting put in as soon as possible, and then its all up to Mr. Dennis.

I lol'd.

Awesomesauces on the HUD

Alrighty. The lighting in the map has been slightly adjusted.


The old lighting:



The new lighting:


Ignore those blood spots, lol. I was on a bloodthirsty rampage.
Hopefully this alleviates some concerns a few people had about the overall brightness of the map.

Actually the new and improved lightmaps look like this:



Mooose is a liar. Next time give me non-corrupt lightmaps pl0x.

Lol yeah. xDD

Don't worry guys, we got it under control now. Lmao.

Look at those red/yellow spots. So beautiful xP

Look down on the bottom right.
Ohai ODST .

it all looks fantastic, cant wait for the release!

Guys, who here thinks the coloring scheme of this map is great?
I just want to do a comparison. I personally love this creative coloring scheme, but all the kids at modacity were complaining that it didn't match their precious color theory, and thus claimed it was a pure fact that the coloring of this map sucked.

Yes, they claimed it was factually impossible to like this coloring scheme. A guy from Ubisoft nonetheless, claimed that his personal opinion is a fact with which nobody can disagree.

Well dear Ubisoft, I disagree. And I'm sure many others do as well.

Most people here I personally know don't really care what some of the users on Modacity think.

Modacity vets are a bunch of smug tards, who believe they are right 100% of the time. Its pathetic. But yeah, that thread made my head hurt. I like the coloring of the map, my only real beef is with the tagset, just because the particles are all the same old repeated ones :P

Still going to be awesome though :)

I like the colors. :)

HobbleBob put it best :D

Speaking of that, many of the particles/effects and shaders in the map have been changed since the trailer was made; in fact, the trailer was already outdated when it aired. xD
