To Do:

1. Make them run faster
2. Make them explode when near you
3. Increase explosion radius

[Ganon]

thats a really neat idea, nice

[Inferno]

Those particles suck. Use something like the plasma nade but with a nice big lens flare and afterward have the ground all burned and shit.

[Higuy]

He said he was replacing them.

[Advancebo]

Those particles suck. Use something like the plasma nade...etc

That was h1 plasma grenade particles.

[ThePlague]

Change the sound too, and make it a bigger damage radius.

[Inferno]

That was h1 plasma grenade particles.

Um... No. Not really.

[StankBacon]

looked identical to the plasma nade to me ...

[Ki11a_FTW]

Uh no..

[Advancebo]

I am pretty sure it is. Its called "explosion.effect" and I found it in "tags\weapons\plasma grenade\effects"

[Inferno]

That is no where near the stock plasma nade explosion. :ohdear:
Seriously go into stock BG and throw a plasma nade.

[Advancebo]

Shall I do it in stock Halo?

[Ki11a_FTW]

yes

[Inferno]

Those plasma particles were crappy. They were to fast ugly colored and left no cool aftereffects. Yes stock.

[Sel]

Cool idea, get someone who can model to make the explosive for you though, this one looks like shit.

[Masterz1337]

Yeah those aren't stock.

[ICEE]

it should explode when you shoot it. Not sure how that would work though.

[p0lar_bear]

Regions.

[Advancebo]

I suck at regions :(
They never get exported when I use Bluestreak. And I use the one that exports regions. (I use Blitzkrieg for everything else but bipeds that use skin modifier)

[Hotrod]

I'm really loving this idea, but will the grunts explode only when you shoot them, or will they run at you and blow up as well?

[DEElekgolo]

When this said suicide grunts I thought it was going to be the ones from halo 3. :C
This is just as good.

[Roostervier]

purple seems like too relaxed of a colour to use on something thats going to purposefully run into you and explode.

[Advancebo]

Any color suggestions?

[FRain]

Ah, man, I came into this thread thinking that I was going to see a video of a grunt charging at you with two armed plasma grenades, one in each hand screaming "ALLAH AKBAH"

I kinda like this idea, too, though.

[BobtheGreatII]

Any color suggestions?

I just think adding something in the container would look good.

[Hotrod]

Why not try yellow or gold instead of purple?

[Heathen]

or why not change it to two plasma grenades?

Thats pretty easy to tell whats gonna happen.

Do the tank on the one on the right.

[Hotrod]

The tank on the one on the right is the one that was used in Halo Wars for the suicide Grunts. I think doing something custom like what's being done now is a better idea :)

[SnaFuBAR]

Make their armor color silver and make the tanks something embellished or something. Cylinders are boring as fuck.

Hell, make it two stacks of six plasma 'nades.

It's not quite 100% custom, though

[NuggetWarmer]

The image I posted was Halo 1 concept art. Ensemble just happened to like that design, I guess.

I've only played the demo, so I have no idea what the suicide grunts in Halo Wars look like.

[Advancebo]

So... What exactly do you guys want? To much ideas all at once.

[ThePlague]

Better texture on the tanks, insta-explosion, auto run at you.

[Dwood]

I suck at regions :(
They never get exported when I use Bluestreak. And I use the one that exports regions.

That's because Bluestreak doesn't support regions.

Oh no, I know that. I knew that this was similar to the Heretic Grunts when I first saw it, but at least there are some differences.

[sevlag]

Oh no, I know that. I knew that this was similar to the Heretic Grunts when I first saw it, but at least there are some differences.thats why i said he could repurpose the suicide grunt biped into a H Grunt if need be :P

regions.

What we want is a more creative design. It doesn't necessarily have to be more complex, just something that no one would have thought of that is really cool.

:realsmug:

Looks nice so far, but it looks like a flamethrower grunt to me if you use your imagination and turn it red. Or photoshop with a red tint will do.

You can end the video once your at 1:50, it exceptioned :X

[Hotrod]

They don't seem to do enough damage to actually be dangerous. I'm thinking that a suicide grunt on it's own should be somewhat worrying, but a group of them like what you had there should be frightening and be able to wipe out a group of marines if not taken care of quickly.

It did wipe out the group of marines. All of the marines.

[Hotrod]

Well, it still didn't look powerful enough for some reason, it took more than one Grunt to take out a single marine, from what I saw.

[MissingSpartan7]

can you fix it so it doen't look they throw invisible grenades then conveniently blow up shortly after?

[Advancebo]

I believe thats part of the explosion effect tag. Yeah I can fix that.

[L283023]

Hey Advanceboy,
Will this be released to the public?
I want to make these fuckers seize before they even get to suicide.

[Bastinka]

Gibs would be nice, or atleast keep the ragdolls/dead bodies.

[Advancebo]

Ask Elefant for tags. I send him updated ones every now and then for firefight.

And yes, they will be released once their completed and their the way I want them to be.

[Epsilon927]

I thought I was making firefight :V

[L283023]

How is your firefight going?

[Epsilon927]

Bo sent me his final version of the suicide grunts. Haven't taken a look at it yet though. I'll probably add them in the next time I'm adding waves.
