It's as DSali says. CMT isn't really CMT anymore, it's just Masterz with a few people doing his bidding. Only Masterz will gain from it, and perhaps the music guy. Since he'll be selling the music guy's music.

B30 Evolved's release trailer refers people to Halomaps.

Do it, those maps we're good and refreshing!

Man I love you and I hate to take the piss but Duce also tried taking random people in for a possible remake of MPG4, Of course he had no clue what he was doing and it disbanded, and the result ended up becoming Mental MP.

I have to say Duce usually had a decent idea of what he was doing.

It's funny cause at the time everyone was hating on him saying that he wasn't CMT anymore, he was just Duce pretending to be CMT.

I'd explain the whole story but I'll leave it at he was making really weird and stupid decisions, and everyone quit in perfect unison on him.

Yes, coming after the patch (SPV3.0.1)

FTFY

where the new UUI os ? also get ced download mod get kicked in the nuts, return to life,

finally. - Hr3shy

The Particle Carbine in the SPV3.0.0 Release has a messed up display shader that references an old texture, and causes the appearance of two displays at once.

In case anyone cares (and for the purposes of ripping tags) I have uploaded the fixed version that was originally supposed to be included.

Here are pictures of the displays.

I don't understand the complaints here. IIRC Masterz is the original founder of CMT, the remastered SP was his idea to begin with, it only makes sense that he carries the name. Duce and lag came later, both whose work to date I am unimpressed with (CMT related anyway). '

Lag's team for B30E was very talented yes, but the map is not good, and if you knew the capabilities of open sauce or the Halo engine, you would agree. If you really need me to go into detail I will. While I agree that these efforts (both b30e and spv3) should have been put into a new campaign, SPV3 is a really solid mod, and it's a great mod for a lot of the newer Halo players to get involved with(and some old).

It was under agreement long ago that both Masterz team and Lags team share assets. It is not Masterz tacking the name CMT onto the mod, CMT literally made this mod and agreed to do so.

Just uploaded another crash dump to the reddit thread.
Anyone else have multiple crashes throughout the campaign? (By multiple I mean more than 3)

Turn off the fade effect in open sauce the game crashed on me 3 times but once I turned off that fade effect not only did it stop the crashing but it also gave me a large boost in frame rate

I thought B30E was far more impressive and well designed than what I've played of SPV3 (first two levels). It could have been a bit better in places, but that can be said of almost every map.

I honestly would have preferred another whole "evolved" level over 6 SPV3 levels. Like I said, I enjoyed the new areas in the campaign over the rehashed areas with the tagset. However I understand why that wasn't possible but as a campaign mod I think whats in there works fine.

Since its using OS, what requierments are needed to play this mod?
Is a 64 mb grafic card and a 1.8 ghz doble core processor enough?

Your best bet is just to try it and disable some OS settings in F7

Agreed. B30:E is quite possibly the best SP map created in this community so far, how can one seriously consider it "not good"?

I like a lot of these new weapons, any chance we'll see them released?

Is.. That what you have? :(

I used to run:

228MB shared memory gfx chip
3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 professor HT
1280 x 1024 LCD display
A whopping 2 GB DDR2 RAM

The PSU blew at one point and was quit literally held together by tape.

Later on I managed to swap the GFX for an ATI Radeon x1300 pro 256MB dedicated card, and I went from getting 25 FPS at 800 x 600 to getting 35 at 1280 x 1024.

Seriously if anyone has any illusions that this site HASN'T degraded into a toxic cesspool of negativity and hate mongering almost worse than the likes of Tumblr in the past 8 years, then I want whatever you're smoking. Because that is some dank, dank kush.


Great mod tho. Might rekindle my love for modding which burned out due to technical issues with my computer and the sheer frustration associated with it. Pretty stoked. Toodles!

almost spit my drink out

Masterz and Dennis don't even have the decency to pay for your treatment. When I traversed the Halo Online thread Dennis sent me a Get Well Soon card he purchased from Walgreens.

I remember learning in elementary school about a lady's cancer cells that mutated so that they could live on their own, effectively forever. It conjured up visions of this once-human blob monster free to roam the earth long after she died.

I think I know where the monster went.

Have you seriously ever been to tumblr? This place is a godsend compared to that.....place

I actually haven't found the bad side of tumblr yet. I guess it's just because I never changed my behavior so I'm pretty much an obnoxious racist sexist dirtbag shouting into an empty abyss being ignored by everyone.

You forget 2006-2009 Halomaps. Today's Halomaps is nothing of the sorts.

Could be worse, you could be fat.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is one that has had the most work and effort put into it, sure, but does that make it a good map? Especially trying to one up the original b30 with the name "evolved". But if you knew what it really could be instead of what it is now, surely you would agree. Let's begin.

Let's start with the BSP design. Being one of the people behind the scenes, I watched the entirety of the development process. The BSP was designed to be linear. They went back and added that cave system after people like myself started complaining that you couldn't explore the beaches freely. All it does is add confusion because you have an intersection of random tunnels going throughout the island. Now the over all design isn't bad on its own , but to call this an "evolution" from the original is a joke. It has become impossible to rally back to the beginning of the island for reinforcements, and it isn't as simple as going to the coast to look for ammo and supplies.

The visuals. Now Bob did an amazing job on all of the assets. They're great. However it doesn't match the abomination of a theme they went for with the BSP and scenery. The BSP has a good model, but all of the textures and poor shader usage makes it look bland and stale. Almost like a desert mixed with a forest. This is supposed to be a tropical island, and there is no reminiscent of mood from the original b30 or b30 anniversary. Combine that with the unfitting stock Halo trees and logs and this is what you get. In the original b30, bungie made a specific set of environmental assets for the island, as they did with almost every other level. However this mod pulls those assets from every map halo has, making it just look odd. I know how much work went into the lighting, the interiors look okay for up-res'd halo 1 textures and bumps. The outside looks grey and flat, bump maps are entirely absent which is the point of DLM's.

Pacing. So let's jump into the very first battle. We are instantly introduced with a mosh pit of grunts, jackals, brutes, elites, turrets, etc. what fun is this? CMT has always had this problem of wanting to make the first beach encounter a chaotic mess. This is not the control room, it's the map center. Why on earth is such a huge army here? And if there had to be one, spread it out a bit. The brutes at least should have been entirely absent until the "brute pool" at the mid section of the map. That would have been a great introduction. And again, CMT (including masters here) has this problem of throwing elites and brutes together EVERYWHERE. When the hell did these factions ever fight in the same squad? They don't. It's not friendly to the lore and its unorganized and chaotic. The encounters seem basic and unthought out. There are just piles of all types of AI everywhere.

This mod would have worked better as its own product. Not b30 and not an "evolved" version of it. It's devolved. B30 was amazing for what it is, it never needed big vehicle battle sections or sniper rifles. I give credit to the team, as we all know it took a lot of work, but all these things I mentioned were flat out ignored when brought up.

Some of the stuff within the map itself is cool(assets, new script functions, etc). But it doesn't make the map as a whole a good map. Hokiebird (wish he was here) abruptly quit the team because of the continuos ignorance of the team, to which the team replied "LOL" pretty much. Hokiebird knows what makes a good encounters and it shows in (some) of SPV3, way more so then in B30 E.

I highly recommend you play the classic SPV3 b30. I had a ton of fun with the AI, the encounters were well made, and the thought and effort into it shows. (For example, once you get to the map room section every elite is an honor guard).

I typed this from my phone so I apologize for any mistakes. I just hope the remakes are done after SPV3. Why couldn't b30 evolved be its own thing? Why did it have to be a remake of b30? This question remains unanswered.
