The concepts aren't half bad. Quite interesting. I just hope you can get them in-gamed.

One thing that stands out is the battle rifle, though. The stock-mounted bayonet doesn't seem like a good idea for a UNSC weapon. If you want to give it a bayonet, give it a conventional bayonet. The side-fed P90-style magazine also isn't really ideal for higher-caliber cartridges, such as those found in battle rifles. However, if you really want to use that style of magazine, I would suggest making it a top-fed bullpup, similar to this.

Its not a br. Its a new weapon called the MA4D. Its a combination of the AR, BR, and SMG. If you look in the other concepts, its been changed a bit. Other weapons include a brand new revolver and a semi auto shotgun.

I hope your joking right now. Its concept art made by people in our team. If you wanted something better, then this isnt the place for it.

I don't think there's not really a way to combine all three of those roles from a gameplay perspective without making it overpowered. From a realism perspective, the US military tried to combine the role of AR, BR, and SMG when they adopted the M14, and it failed to live up to these expectations. It worked just fine as a regular battle rifle, though.

Is your current iteration of the MA4D in the bottom-most page of concepts, below the revolver? The rifle with a scope and a conventional, non-bullpup layout?


I noticed those, as well. Is the semi-auto shotgun drum-fed?

Yes, the new one is below the revolver.

And yes, the shotgun is drum fed.

The concept seems promising I would like to see actual in game stuff

I think the mini smg looks neat :) it's similar to the scorpion smg.

The hud screen is ingame, but as of right now we are not ready to show much else.

I'd like you all to know that most of the content posted here is crap taken from my sketchbook where I put ideas down on paper and give them to Sean and the team for review. The only real finished and presentable concept is of the MA4D even though the design has since been changed where the magazine is placed in a more conventional location. Also, the only similarity to the SMG was not functional, we were referring to the placement and style of the magazine which has since been changed, so it would not be considered a child between the Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle intended for strictly mid-range combat. IE a single-fire or automatic rifle (depending on how you play) with an axed magazine size and ROF while being paired with increased accuracy and damage.

There's only a single little 1" drawing of the revolver in the images that Sean posted, but I have a much more ironed out drawing which I assume Sean doesn't want to reveal yet where you can actually see the design and thought put into it.

In regards to the Spartan armor, it is a massive WIP and actually now looks almost unrecognizable in comparison to what's posted.

Most of these images weren't meant to be shown, but regardless I appreciate the feedback and will try to iron out more professional looking concepts like the rest of my digital art portfolio, I have just been meaning to give this team more attention than I have.

I love the AR only.

*sigh*


why is it always the contingency fanboys

Isn't contingency dead?

You butthurt sean? Only like 5 people have posted anything and no one is talking about Contingency.

There is no reason to assume Contingency is dead. One of the developers still answers questions related to the game and the most recent post from a dev was two days ago. Unless a dev comes up and confirms or we have not gotten a response in a month there is no proof of that claim. The silence from the Contingency team is not at all unusual since it has been like this always at least on the forums.

You werent around during the halomaps event im talking about.

Is Vindication not canceled yet?

Yes. And it never technically was, we took a long break to get new ideas.

It's not too late. Cancel it now, and spare us the agony.

No. :P no h4 tags dont worry giraffe.


EXPAWSED

I'm new to this forum, and I'm just wondering if this is how all of you behave. Also, I didn't want to say this before, but I don't know, I feel like this is very unprofessional for a project announcement thread. Is this a tag project or a map? You showed us concept art of what are potentially weapon tags, yes?

Its a single player map series. Right now though its just showing concept art. Tags will be shown soon.

Also, welcome to halomaps, where all your hopes and dreams die and become latino maps.

You're looking at the wrong thread to set an example. Once you get broken in you'll know who to take seriously.

Fair enough, but all I'm saying is you might as well just cancel the project now, unless you plan on getting Johnlex on your team asap.

How could i forget to recruit such a talented man? Brb getting him now

Sounds like a double negative to me. Your are telling me to not "set an example here". What do you mean when you said, "get broken in". And you are implying the user known as "Megasean" is not to be taken seriously? Now back to my point, he is the user publishing the project thread, that most likely means he is the leader of the team producing the content. So if he is not to be taken seriously, why is he the one posting this.

No, hes talking about the trolls that lurk here.

Customary to any forum...

That's ok, the Steam forums aren't any better. So umm, vampire_girl, what do you do?

What!? No self respect or sense of identity that you invest your entire self worth into the ramblings of some anonymous 12 year old who is still learning when to lift the toilet seat and to wash his hands afterward?

Come on! Your world can't be that small? Sheese.

You should think of writing small motivational posts every now and then and i'm not joking when I say that.

Nice threadjack bro.

My my sean, shouldn't you watch your words now that your co-devs had to actually tell you to stop acting so immature?

On a less berrative note, we at Contingency have our own forums, and there are multiple devs that post, sometimes daily (I'm one of them). Dead is something we're far from.

On a more topic-side note, the concepts look interesting, though they feel a bit inconsistent with eachother. The HUD also looks odd in that green color

I'm a little embarrased to call you your project dead, I'm sorry :( I just didn't phrase it correctly.

Seriously, stop threadjacking. You have a thread. Go away.
