I'll be honest... I am disappointed.

When I saw "Super Campaign Refined", I expected to decent graphics and excellent gameplay. I only found standard CE graphics, and OP'd gameplay.

To start off:
- Allies (spartans) are invincibru
- "Skirmishers" have a bad animation. Their legs don't move fast enough to compensate for their speed.
- You have FRG grunts in the first battle? First?! And a bloody banshee?
- Shielded grunts? Elite Ultras with PRs firing faster than Darth Vader force choking an insubordinate?
- Extra turrets?
- Why do the AI get custom rifles and we don't? :c

All in all, I rate this a 3.5/10. Mainly as it seemed to be just chucked together over the course of a week or two.

I wrote a long elaborate review in the past 45 minutes. However after submitting it dissapeared because I took too long.

So basically to sum it all up, the marines are invincible spartans with different assault rifles with a seemingly weak pistol projectile, the skirmishers are glitchy as hell and not fun to fight, there are new weapons some boring some interesting, new hunter with new gun, sheilded grunt, elite ultras with golden fast plasma rifles. and ghosts, turrets and banshees. I died a lot around the corner on the warthog. I only made it past skirmishers because I had deathless on. I have pictures of most of this on my xfire (really dont feel like posting all those again).
4/10 on fun experience
It's a rough concept, definetly not a refined version of Bungie's campaign.

...To sum up the best review I ever made. :'(

But for the unaware, they don't want to Google out info or such. They want to download it and play it, but the lack of description is really troublesome :/

EDIT: Not really hatin' on SCR though (going to download it all), I just think you'll achieve more downloads if the description would show a bit more stuff :P

About Hunters... their armor is just blue! It's metal, can a Flood infect meta and their goddarn shields...? Come on, if the flood is INSIDE the armor, it is inside, not around! About weapons, I would not know, since I haven't tried any of them yet. But the mach thing... Floods DO NOT use vehicles, unless you make 3rd person custom animation for them to use, or import them from H2, which I don't even know if it is possible. So this would make that mach quite useless. It can kill a hunter-flood with one shot, that's allright (even though I'd not agree with that... snipy weapons are useless against floods, because they deliver a massive shock concentrated in a little point to destroy vital organs.... but Floods don't have vital organs!) but since they are very slow, even a rocket launcher may be good for that purpose, thanks to the area damage effect. It could be a good weapon against covenant, not floods.

assault SMG really has no place, since a silenced AR is just about as useful as a normal AR. even though it's silenced, the fact that you have to be mid-to-short range from an enemy means that the instant you hit said enemy is the moment you lose the element of suprise. a silenced sniper rifle or headshot-capable weapon would be more suited to the job, because if you can kill an enemy instantly with a silenced weapon, they won't alert their allies with "hey! I'm being shot at!"

the mini MAC is still considerably underpowered, given that it is a high damage weapon with little ammo and almost no AoE/splash damage. yes, it would be effective against vehicles, but that's just about all it can do; unless the campaign features a ton of vehicles, such a weapon would fall off really quickly as other methods(grenades, shooting, plasma) are much more effective than firing 2 shots and retreating with low shields.

why would I want a mini-MAC over a rocket launcher? they both shoot 2 rockets, they both are anti vehicular weapons, but the rocket launcher, even though it has slower rockets, has large damage and splash area, making it an ideal anti-vehicle and anti-infantry, as opposed to the mini-MAC's vehicle-specific purpose. the mini-MAC also does self damage, making you vulnerable against said vehicles should both rockets not make their mark. if I needed to take out a vehicle while at full health/shield, then yes, I would switch out for a mini-MAC, but after the battle it is a very poor choice for any other type of encounter, so switching back would require no hesitation.

same with the beam pistol; yes, it is powerful. yes, it has explosives. but why use it in place of a different weapon? the killer has about the same damage, but it fires faster; a simple toss of a plasma grenade can kill an enemy in one shot as opposed to 3, and destroys vehicles easier due to it's sticky nature.

Quote: --- Original message by: master noob
if the plasma SMG is meant to drain shields so fast, would it not be much quicker and efficient to use the plasma pistol's 1-second charge up time (charging before the battle, even) and homing blast to quickly, accurately and effectively take out someone's shield? the inaccuracy of the plasma SMG, paired with the overheat and the sheer amount of bullets and time it takes to reduce the shield of one elite make the plasma pistol a much better choice, especially since the plasma pistol is good at taking out shields AND health.

as for the AM gun, the whole idea of grunts is to be fodder and distractions (often turret pilots) so other units can last longer. considering the amount of grunts that group up and the sped-up needles that deal twice as much damage, the campaign is going to be practically impossible should grunts ever use such a weapon. it's like firefight; descent's grunt fun level, where all grunts had insta-kill FRGs and plenty of them around, requiring the player to hide behind cover and snipe them individually or dodging a ton of fire(which is not fun, mind you).

Quote: --- Original message by: master noob
while making weapons, you should ask yourself "why would I want this weapon over a different weapon?" for example, why would I want a plasma rifle over an assault rifle? it is situation-based question; if there are unshielded foes, the assault rifle is preferable as it chews through enemies easily. but if there are shielded enemies, the plasma rifle is the better choice to make easy work of their shields faster than an assault rifle while still doing enough damage for the kill.

I swear i've played a map before that had those weapons in it and the killer was extremely overpowered

Quote: --- Original message by: SilentJacket
I think you should have custom models for your weapons, so
1) you can tell them a part
2) make it obvious that you put a lot of effort into this map (as opposed to just re-skinning existing assets and recycling encounters)

when will it comeout

Quote: --- Original message by: Rododo
that sounds good. Need to improve: you must not reskin the armor of the hunters... If floods use it, they can make it dirty, but not completely brown. And maybe you could make their walking more zombish, you know, but that's a good idea.

Quote: --- Original message by: master noob
these weapon ideas are, no offense, kinda bad.

assault SMG is just a silenced assault rifle with scope
killer is stupidly overpowered and no one will use any other weapon
white death is essentially the same as the sniper rifle, only with 1 extra bullet
mini-MAC is an underpowered white death with self-damage, less ammo, and AoE damage. white death is a better version of this weapon.
beam pistol is very underpowered compared to the killer with a smaller rate of fire and a weak bomb that has a long cooldown due to the overheat.
Plasma SMG is a sped up plasma rifle
AM-gun is a needler with faster projectiles and an extra damage effect.

you should make weapons that have different attributes than their predecessors, such as an assault rifle with a 6 barrel grenade launcher (grenades bounce and explode) or a plasma weapon that shoots a constant stream of homing plasma with little damage but more time before the weapon overheats. stuff like that. basically, all I'm saying is that these weapons of yours aren't so much custom as they are modified.

Re-skins have always been fun

you should also dim down the flood elites' armor, maybe add some detail to them. green flood would be more fitting than blue flood, and the dark jackals could do with some arm fixing :P

Quote: --- Original message by: Echo77

The "Skirmishers" look pretty good, I think, and the idea of a Flood-infected Spartan is an interesting concept, but Hunters can't be assimilated due to their lack of a central nervous system.

If you want a "heavy" Flood, though, you could perhaps reskin a Brute.

flood hunter and flood chief look dumb, just retexture them instead of borrowing the preexisting flood materials.
