Lowering a weapon in H2V

[Terin]

Is it possible? It's simple to do in H2X, but is there a secret button that allows you to do it in H2V? Otherwise, machinima for H2V is screwed. =|

What do you mean 'lowering a weapon'. Like in the first person view or in the third person view, like in RvB where they have their pistols aimed downwards?

Hold right click (you have to get rid of your nades first).

I still want a button on the keyboard contrary to holding it down.

When designing a map for the Halo 2 for Windows Vista game it is important to include the settings and object placement for the Oddball game type. That means placing the Oddball in the map. I know you are wondering why I say this so let me explain.


Bungie was kind enough to include the "Oddball glitch" in the Halo 2 Vista game. The glitch allows you a method of discarding your weapons and removing the first person hands and weapons from the screen. When you take a screenshot, the [F11] key, the screenshot is written to the drive without the HUD interface and if you have no weapons without the first person hands. So you get a clean unobstructed view of the scene.


Here at Halo Maps we are in the process of developing a more extensive image gallery of the maps for Halo 2 Vista and will be taking many more screenshots to show off the design of user created maps. Having high-resolution screenshots without first person hands will allow us to better show off the designs of the maps.


The Oddball Glitch:
Start an Oddball game with the Plasma Pistol as your primary weapon and "None" as your secondary weapon.


Overcharge the Plasma Pistol by holding down the trigger. Then, with the gun still charged, pick up the Oddball. Next, drop the Oddball. Due to this glitch, you will actually drop your Plasma Pistol as well.

I'm still wondering how to get rid of the emblem because the xbox method doesn't seam to be working.

You mean using default and toggling it? That doesn't work anymore?

Oh, and for lowering the weapon, I just use the controller and hit d-pad down. If we had the console, we could just bind it, but we aren't in Source Land(TM). Maybe someone will figure it out in time.

Well, the right click method does work according the shadows. Thanks everyone. I hope that we get some machinima movies eventually on high.

Empty your nades,and click the button set for them, hold it down, you should look like you're standing at attention to other people.
