I like seeing custom SP projects, a few suggestions based off the pix:
- Add some kind of billboard trees at the top of your cliffs and perhaps add a secondary extension to it, this will make it feel more enclosed.
- Add some more variety to your scenery trees, I think you should consider scaling some of them up. There's a script for this, but I forgot which one. I know I used it in lumlum.

I like the choice of textures for the most part.
Cheers and happy newyears beers!

Wouldn't it be better to do a cityscape environment like Halo 3: ODST if you want that enclosed feeling? A remix of H2 New Mombasa custom map would be nice. This is a reply not only to Lodeman but also to the OP.

Also, do an opening scene like the one in Halo 2: http://youtu.be/anHnFqoDoo0?t=1m46s

Exterior environments can easily give off an enclosed feeling, a good combination of skybox, cliffs and tree billboards is all you need.

Looks cool, but I can't help but notice a few things:

- Like L0d3x said about being enclosed
- UV's on rocks/cliffs need to be better, take the time to individually unwrap area's of cliffs and stitch them together, use a left to right tiling texture.
- The picture where you walk out from a forerunner tunnel to a cave is very unnatural looking. Perhaps instead of just a giant hole in the forerunner geometry/cave wall, add a forerunner door to break up the two better.

Good to see a custom campaign though, keep working on it!

The ODST biped you're using is very bad.
Rigging is not great and there are untextured white spots all over the place.

Sounds cool so before anyone else calls it..
Dibs on Beta-Testing!

I don't think they follow the International Dibs Protocol

well the red team and the blue team do

Rig is not as good as the H1 cyborg.

The arms and hands are not as good.

Where are these untextured white spots? I don't see any in either the FP or the 3P pictures. The 3P model has some brighter spots, but all that I can see are supposed to be polished metal in the textures.

Edit: Excluding the white cod-piece in the 3rd image :P

May I suggest it to be after CE3 airs in July?:)

I think they're using this one:

There are white spots on certain parts that seem out of place.

That drop pod needs better smoothing and shaders. Add me on Xfire and I'll fix that up for you.

Very nice.

It's azjesse

What the hell are you doing on, it's freaking early!

Because i did some stuff for Hiralis (Mainly make the ODSTs, and that was time consuming in on it's own), i present to you a really basic teaser for ODST Drop

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO473Njr9K8 Watch it

Also, PICTURES!!!!

do you pick who you play as

I'm gonna say no just because this is Halo

you'll be playing Hawthorne. Its in the OP

The helmet stripe seems to be a lot more shiny than the other colored sections.

The only colored parts are the helmet stripe, the chestplate, and a few peices of the equipment. However, i dont see how they can really be shinier. it could simply be the way you see the bipeds in that direction (it seems as though the cubemap is making it look shinier from that angle)

Awwwww but that's the best part of campaigns...

The best part of campaigns is betraying your allies?
Well, isn't that messed up.

*shrug* To shake things up a little. Kill all bad guys, then kill good guys. Sole survivor. :P
I'm not demented am I?

I think I'm crazy. :P

hiralis read my pm

I think I'm insane. :P marines are fun to kill sometimes, other times I just let the covenant kill them.

Not very many people have said that they like lens flares.

I like lens flares, but those ones need to be brighter!!! :3

Make it noticeable but don't overdo it and make it super distracting/blinding.

Don't make those parts lens flares, make them glow sprites.

Or is it light volumes, I forget.

Good project, what is the date of relased

personally, I want to make sure everything is the best it can be before we release it in all of its epic glory.

until then, perhaps we could release a less-than-purdy beta to test gameplay
