The problem with that is that, at night, you can see a flashlight from across the map. Coupled with the fact that flashlight on/off states don't synchronize over online multiplayer, you might think that you've turned your flashlight off, but to the sniper on the other side of the valley, it's still turned on. Your flashlight would also activate any time you turned on your night vision, completely negating its use as a way of seeing people in the dark without them seeing you.

The M6C/s, sniper rifle, and binoculars all incorporate night vision scopes, though, so you have some options when it comes to seeing in the dark without a flashlight.

DMR reload animation may have an error, or a mistake. Which ever you would count it as. The thumb twitch moves at the end of the animation.

Also, why not use Halo reach, 3, or 4 sniper rifle? Or a better custom one.

Edit:

Also, why don't you guys fix the vent? D: It always bothers me because it is sort of difficult to jump up onto the vent when you are inside. Why not add a latter, make it lower, or make it go up in a slope?

A mistake on my part, excuse my poor excuse of an animation set for the DMR I was really not feeling it. Maybe I'll get around to fixing it, it's just as simple as dragging a keyframe to put the thumb back into origin position (if something isn't in origin position at the end of an animation in Halo, the game will go "AKJFIOEWQJKF" and move it back/aka the idle animation kicks in).

Put a 2nd exit to the blue team's rocket base, maybe a way to get ontop of that arch thing, maybe some kind of defensive position facing out of either side. Just something, because it's a lot easier to camp than the red tunnel and I've had a lot of interesting fights around that tunnel.

Make it easier to jump on the roof of the shed thing on blue too. It's super easy on red and while it's not hard to get on the rock, it's still much harder.

Make all the vehicles lights toggle with the Q button the way they do on the spade. It's a good feature.

Make the passenger seats in the truck third person. Easily the worst thing about that vehicle is having to rely on Mexicans to drive you where you need to be and not get you killed in the process.

Make the trip mines be audible from a larger distance.

This is quite a good idea. BSP editing got quite hard though with all the errors tool randomly generates with this structure.

The update is pretty nice this time around, especially with the base and layout with the armory. My only complaint about the base at all this point would be how the warthogs are situated in the base and lowered down, sometimes it just feels a bit clunky trying to get in one.

Another problem I still see with the map is a middle ground kind of area on the upper plateu area. The crashed ship is there but thats really not much. Even if you just took the middle base and copied and put it up there, that would be really nice. The landbridge that was also added could either: a) have the trees removed from it on the far side that block a nice natural path to get down from when in a vehicle or b) remove the hills in front of it for a nice path to go up too.

The night version is pretty cool also.

The sniper rifle needs refinements because when I use it, I have to lead even in no-lead as there is no hitscan feature. Couldn't it be made easier to use instead of leading in no-lead?

that's the point. it requires more skill this way, its not just point and shoot anymore. the original halo 1 sniper was like that because it was hard enough aiming dead on with a controller let alone leading in front of anyone. all that no lead is doing in this case is stabilizing the amount of lead you need to use so that it is the same amount with every player. you have to lead with the dmr as aswell as the sniper.

Other people said that shotgun is already OP.That's what everyone says but switching grenades in globals doesn't change anything. Seems like grenade type is selected randomly or something.
I like the ladder idea.
I will think about those.
You probably don't realize that there are only 4 functions. I could make all vehicles toggle lights but then I would need to get rid of horn or something.
Tripmines had a longer sound distance before but that caused some issues when there were several tripmines around. That didn't happen when I tried it, no idea what causes that.
Bullets have travel time. Bullet speed was increased 10 times in one private beta and long range weapons were much more OP.

The shotgun is a very specialized weapon that fulfills a niche role on a very, very large map that heavily incorporates vehicular combat and features an array of ranged, headshot-capable weapons. It has to have some sort of advantage, otherwise there's no point in using it when it's outranged and ultimately less adaptble than nearly every other weapon (including the MA5K, which rivals the shotgun in its effectiveness in close-quarters).

I think what Echo is trying to say should be as understandable as

Improving the general lighting would also be good. The Buildings are waaay too dark at night. Maybe some streetlights on the main road too just to make the map a little more visually appealing at night.

(Flare grenades would be cool but probably not practical)

You guys should also make a slayer variant gametype where everyone starts with snipers + its night time (for the server). We played a bit of that last night somewhat, it was alot of fun.

You deserve a free CMT tag.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, for a weapon that's associated with being able to take a man's head off his shoulders or blow a fist-sized hole in a target at point-blank, it seems a bit... piddly.

Granted, it may just be user error on my part, and if my opinion is in the minority, then I don't expect you to change it if most people are fine with how it plays. But in previous versions, the shotgun was my go-to weapon. My primary varied depending on the situation, but I almost always carried a shotgun. When I played the latest iteration of the map, however, it seemed that I was better-off in close-combat with an MA5K than I was with the shotgun.

niceee man niceeee now im becoming the master of the DMR i mastered all the bigaas versions now going for this one #Altisistheboss xD

cool

How are the downloads going so far ?

Just wanted to say thanks for quite possibly the most satisfying tank to fire in HCE history.

cool

You add so much to the conversation. Will I ever be as cool as you?

cool

Not cool. No anisotropic filtering and no anti aliasing. What is this? A console?

Oh yeah. I just noticed what has been bugging me about the map. The clouds and sun looks bright, but the sky is dark. :l Can you guys make the sky more of a bright morning blue teal color? That may be what's been looking a bit off about the map to me.

Or maybe just change the sky to be dark rain clouds.

is there a game type or something to get the tank or make it dark out in the map?

FOUND THE TANK

Read the OP of this thread or the readme in the download. It explains how to set the time of day.

I love this map ^_^

Been playing on this map for a couple of hours. Man it is so awesome. It's got to be my favorite halo ce map.

Oh look, another person who complains about portals. Go ahead and make better ones.

HAC 2 fixes things, doesn't it?

From the very few things I've read about portals, aren't they meant to help to increase the performance? HAC 2 just allows to see the entire map without holes.

The problem is that the map is open area and you can basically see the whole map from a lot of places. The portals can't do much in those cases, no matter how good they are. Of course, there are some specific people who think they know everything and that I just suck at portals.
