O noes please not that.......I hate surprises. Just make sure its good enough so i crap my pants after looking at it for about a second.

o so hrh is cancelled guys!

:downs:

[Bad Waffle]

I promise it will be awesome, even from my cynical standpoint. and that my friends, is REALLY AWESOME.

[BobtheGreatII]

Hurry up! <:mad:>

[Rob Oplawar]

I promise it will be awesome, even from my cynical standpoint. and that my friends, is REALLY AWESOME.

oh you big tease.

I have a surprise for you too. :3

Although tbqh it's not at all necessary for HRH and probably won't be included, but it fits in with the spirit of it.

[Bad Waffle]

Well um rob, telling me you have a surprise kinda makes it not a surprise anymore. Im just telling you guys as a heads up. You'll see sooner or later. (probably later)

[Heathen]

:(

[FRain]

Wait...
WAT?

[Bad Waffle]

shush, its not cancelled or anything, its just going into a bit of recluse from public eye. You'll see...

[TeeKup]

Is it safe to say that HRH is entering a "cocoon" state?

[Apoc4lypse]

I promise it will be awesome, even from my cynical standpoint. and that my friends, is REALLY AWESOME.

being the cynical person that I am, this usually means its either amazing, or it will be something that just makes no sense to us.

suriusly... thats what happens to me when I have AWESOME ideas even when I think half the shit I make sux...

on a more ontopic note... I think its completely unreleated to HRH mainly because he said... no more updates for HRH for a while... thus its not HRH.. right?

[Zeph]

Yes, it is entering a cocoon state. It will be awesome.

[ultama121]

I expect situations in which my eyes burst from awesome, one who they call the WOLrus.

I expect pretty wings of awesomeness.

[Bad Waffle]

oh, there will be drama. And there will be suspense. And there will be blood.

really, really pretty blood, to complement all the highrezzed stuff

[Pooky]

random HRH thought: consider adding sparks to the particles when you get shot to reflect that the bullets are hitting electronic armour?

[Bad Waffle]

they're already there, look harder

[Pooky]

if I never noticed them in 5 years of playing Halo, perhaps they could stand to be more dramatic?

[Con]

if I never noticed them in 5 years of playing Halo, perhaps they could stand to be more dramatic?
.

[ExAm]

Aside from the little flashes that happen when bullets hit shields, I don't see any sparks at all.

[SnaFuBAR]

seriously, look at the effects that happen when you shoot metal surfaces. the effect have been there since the game released.

[Sel]

if I never noticed them in 5 years of playing Halo, perhaps they could stand to be more dramatic?

.

[DaneO'Roo]

None of you guys have ever noticed the fucking spark effects?


What the fuck???

[FRain]

Jesus christ I always thought there were TOO MANY sparks. Especially for just regular 7.62/mm rounds.

[Zeph]

Hey guys, lets upset the visual balance of things away from realistic to overpowering and stupidly noticeable.

[Pooky]

Hey guys, lets upset the visual balance of things away from realistic to overpowering and stupidly noticeable.

Halo is not realistic.

recluse from public eye. You'll see...

I have. :\

[Sel]

I never noticed spark effects on the player when he gets shot >__>

[TeeKup]

Then you fail.

I have :/

[Bad Waffle]

no


Hey guys, lets upset the visual balance of things away from realistic to overpowering and stupidly noticeable.

The less noticeable something is, the more perfect it is


EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES contradiction :downs:

i didn't say WHEN you'd see it

also km i have something for you

[MMFSdjw]

http://www.wku.edu/~wilkidj/shotgun_1.jpg
This what yall talkin' about?

[Needles]

On my old PC with integrated graphics, I have no decals, specular, or anything. I can't see explosions or sparks on it.

I can on my new one, but not on my old one.

[Lateksi]

I can't use decals with 8800GTS but I can see sparks and they appear sometimes in first person, too.
Would be kinda needless addition, if you were to make the sparks more visually appealing, but of course it would be cool. Then you will definitely know if you knock off someone's energy shield.

[Heathen]

Um...are you serious about the decals? You cant play with them?



If so, Wtf.

[PopeAK49]

Black people are less noticeable, therefore more perfect.

offtopic/
Yes well come up here around febuary when we have like 18 hours of darkness, you will never see black people.

ontopic/
Are you guys serious you never seen spark effects in ce? :eyesroll:

[Sel]

Ive never seen them appear on the player when they get shot; Ive seen them on walls and shit though.

[jngrow]

Lol especially at football!
Uncalled for mb?

But seriously, I think he meant more electrical looking spark like things. Whatevs.

[Zeph]

Thread's going off topic, so closed for a while until some progress can be posted.

That is going to murder my computer...

holy fucking shit, i didn't think halo ce was capable of looking like that

great job

I think someone(s) needs to go buy some new stuff:eekdance:

That looks amazing. Sort of reminds me of UT3, especially the first image.

[Advancebo]

Dont know if this was asked before, but, why does chief's visor look like a clown face?

[DaneO'Roo]

Amazing work Wol.

I'll get you those chief tex's when your on next. (I'll also skin your AR if you'd like)

[Inferno]

What map is that in? BG? Ratrace?

Looks amazing WoL. I seriously didn't think CE could look that good. I can't wait to see this project on my pc and ran before my eyes! Good luck.

[Roostervier]

I get a constant 60 fps, and I've got VSYNC on. I think anyone with an okay video card would be fine.

I have no idea how to make youtube do highres videos.

[dark57]

AR sounds like an airsoft gun lol.

[Anton]

I like the AR sounds and I have no clue as to why. Is that map just a circular tube? Either way those shaders are nice.

[Heathen]

add &fmt=6 to the url.

E: also ew at the AR sounds.

[NuggetWarmer]

AR model looks like one of H3MT's many AR's, which is bad. The muzzle flash could use less suck. At the moment, it looks as if you just cut it out of a picture. The skin for the AR is really grainy and looks like stone, and the sound is :gonk:, as mentioned. Shaders look pretty good so far, would be nice if we could see the actual texture for the cave walls though. Those look more interesting. :)

[Reaper Man]

Bricks were shat. That is amazing, WoL.

Yep, this map is just a tube. And guys, the ar sound isn't working and the skin obviously isn't done.

[Sel]

Nice stuff man. Almost can't believe that's halo.

[Rob Oplawar]

o i c wut u did thar with those textures. Clever. I might copy that technique.

Not bad. I have to say, I'm loving the rocks, although in some places the extreme angle on the skin makes it look rather odd, the fact that the texture represents depth that the eye expects to see at that angle. Now sure what you can do about that, though, aside from maybe height-mapping the model to match the contours of the rocks in the texture a bit more, but that doesn't really sound like a good idea. Anyway, it's pretty inspirational.

[Masterz1337]

Looks great, except for that AR fire effect. If you'd like me to teach you how to manipulat them properly you have my contact info.

[DaneO'Roo]

AR effects and sounds kick ass.

I'd rather not learn from a guy that evidently just uses the same sprites over and over again but changes various sizes and colors ;)

The firing sprites were done in literally 5 mins of photoshop work. They were created as a primer so i could create real ones. I dunno though, i really like the jagged look to em.

I tried the matching of contours, it just looked repetitive as the geometry would keep repeating.

Here's a little extra for you other peeps, this is how i create bumps for more complicated things that i can't paint by hand:

That's how bungie did it D: (http://www.bungie.net/images/Inside/publications/presentations/halo3_fx.zip)

Using a displacement map for a bump map was a good idea :).

[Bad Waffle]

I meant the game-default sprites, bungie still made their own ;)

Quite possibly, in fact.

Don't bother trying to correct him, he just enjoys taking potshots at people for 3 year old grudges. :)

[Bad Waffle]

Nope, you just didn't show that you could help me with particles. But hey, if you want to rely on the crutch-excuse of an dead grudge, go for it, you're the only one in the room.

[Masterz1337]

You're the one taking potshots, everyone see's it. I'm the mature one who offered you help, but obviously you're not interested in MY help. Leet and I, and Kenny to an extent, are the only ones who I'm aware of that have an understanding of particle systems and effect particles. Your reaction to my offer is not rational.

[Bad Waffle]

Oh please. I'm not interested in anybody offering help unless i already wanted it. Also, i've been modding since the game came out, do you really think i have not once touched particles? seriously? I wasn't taking a potshot at you, i was joking around so you didn't think i was saying no just because you're masters. You get so damn emotional and defensive whenever i respond to you. I literally have not replied to you once in i dont know how many years without you going on the defensive over how "everybody sees how bad wol is" or something. Now please, i don't need a bloody teacher, i need a friggin particle artist, and you are not one, so get over it, and just stop it.

[Rob Oplawar]

WoL, quit shitting up your own thread. Masterz, quit shitting up WoL's thread.

[Masterz1337]

I suggest Conscars then, if you're looking for a particle artist.

Sorry if i'm "taking offence", I'm not use to the "new not so troll you". But I'm glad you're speaking whats on your mind, hopefully in the future I won't get offended by your accidental rude and degrading posts, and I'll just assume you were joking.

Hey man, I'm just offering you an olive branch, if you don't want it there's no need to joke or troll about it. A simple "no thank you, I think I understand them pretty well" would suffice. I compliment your work all the time, but I can't even remember the last time you had a kind word towards me. I offered my help, because I remember the struggle you had with the SPV1 particles, and haven't seen anything from you on that end since. I thought it be a nice gesture for whatever "wrongs" I have done onto you in the past, but obviously you're not ready to make amends.

Edit: oops, didn't see your post Rob, I think you're right and we should both stop and leave it as it is, unless WOL wants to continue this.

[Bad Waffle]

Masters, it's just how i am, and it's how i've always been. I have always joked. As i recall with spv1, you just didn't like my particles. Instead you replaced them with colorful flames, oh well.

You complement my work all the time, thanks...but you don't have any 'work' persay to complement. I don't like the unorganized and rudimentary way you do things. I don't like your particles, nor your UI, nor your simple textures, and the fact that after so many years you seem to have no dedication to become proficient in an art package (photoshop, max, maya, etc) just makes it a huge turnoff. I have no grudge, masters. I just dislike you for being you :)

Glad i got that off my back.

Maybe tomorrow i'll post shots of the textures i'm working on for the new bloodgulch, if time allows. I'm taking a break from the megapainintheass that is new mombassa to do a smaller, more organic level. I plan to just take the original terrain, tesellate it to about 100k tri, drop it into mudbox, and sculpt the cliffs etc. I'll then optimize it. I think i'll ask mass to do the bases since i remember him wanting to do some forerunner stuff, and he's good at it so what the hell. When its all done, the new bloodgulch should run about 70k-80k tri.

[DaneO'Roo]

Think your maps could use my skies?


Uh, aren't those skys totally generated in some program, and don't actually look like proper clouds anyway? Simply having blue and clouds isn't halo.

[SnaFuBAR]

ar looks plain because heh, it doesn't have textures.

[t3h m00kz]

Oh okay. I figured. thought there might have been placeholders on it though, because I can actually make out some of the detail.

[ExAm]

AR sounds like an airsoft gun lol.That's just the ejection port sound. The firing sound effect isn't there yet.

[Hunter]

:O That looks amazing WoL. Is that my AR?

Edit: I like the muzzle flash but I think it needs to be a bit smaller. Or maybe add a bit of blue bits in it, I think it would make it look better, and the AR is gas powered isnt it?

[t3h m00kz]

I'd say fool around with the color and see what happens. The CAR from Unreal 2 was gas-powered and had blue muzzle flash. It looked bad-ass.

It's fired around the middle of the trailer

Your rocket launcher so far WoL.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/H3_RocketLauncher_1.jpg
Tris: 2476

Hopfully I can keep it around 4K instead of 6K. And the cylinder under it still needs attaching and sealing to the main part. Roughly about 35-40% complete.

[TeeKup]

That handle bar is way too thin.

[Inferno]

It looks like you could break it off.

1000th post. I win.

[Hunter]

Its thinner than that in H3. I will wait and see wat WoL thinks of it so far.

[jngrow]

Yeah I don't think it's that bad.

[Bad Waffle]

It's that thin on the original...

Hunter, try doing something better with the rotation mechanism and the teeth on the barrel. And get rid of those extruded faces on the barrel, too.

What do you mean. Do you just want it to rotate differently?

[SnaFuBAR]

I cant think of anything to do with the rotation mechanizm. Anyone have any ideas?
The transform gizmo in 3ds? The hell are you talking about?

[Timo]

He's wondering about what to do with the rotating part of the rocket launcher.

[SnaFuBAR]

Oh. Well, imo, having them exposed like that looks ridiculous. :| Try applying some weapons knowledge to the design. All this whole thing is so far is just a repetition of cylinders.

[killer9856]

Those textures


O_O

[Bad Waffle]

Snaf has a great point. What you've done so far is just upres the old model without taking the chance to make it 'work right'. Take for example my shotgun, i added things to make it more visually interesting, and correct. Do the same for the rocket launcher.

[Hunter]

Ohhh, I thought you just wanted a higher res rocket launcher lol. Ii will see what I can do, but remember I suck at designing.

[Heathen]

I had thought of that when I first heard hunter was doing the rl.

No offense to hunter, but I wondered if he had the creativity to do to it what you did to the shotty.

[Hunter]

:'( ^

Ive got afew creative ideas. But it would probably mean a full re design of the rocket launcher... would that be okay? It would still be held head height.

Edit: Any design ideas are welcome :)

[Hunter]

pI8PJXgZRP8

I did this quickly, just a simple reload, not finished. And bare in mind I suck at animating...

Basicly the master cheif pushes the rocket into the clamps. Then the clamps take the rocket into the chamber and let it go or something, then the holes are covered. Simple and shit idea...

[TeeKup]

I kinda like the idea.

[Hunter]

If people like it then it will need a lot of work.

[SnaFuBAR]

:cringe: That idea is um... How the fuck does the rocket get out of the launcher when it's held by clamps?

Also, that tube is way too big for the rocket.

[Malloy]

momentary release before propulsion mb,

the concept is inventive, but how will you implement something like that to the Halo's RL design.

[Hunter]

dunno yet

[Bad Waffle]

From what i know about rockets...the tube is usually there to straighten out the trajectory to, you know, aim the rocket. If the walls aren't flush with the rocket...its useless.

[Malloy]

Tutorial please WoL :D

[Snowy]

yeah this stuff looks awesome. Shame on me for not looking at this thread until now.

[Advancebo]

Why does it say Halo 3 Redesign, when it can be a custom design :O?

Also, will there be hi res particles?

[Hunter]

I just named it Halo 3, dunno why Lol. Im going to make a seperate thread for the weapons, instead of clogging up Wol's. Im going to demake the rocket as well.

[Advancebo]

demake?

you mean remake right?

Also, the rocket projectile should be hi res, and be similar to the halo 3 rocket.

[ExAm]

Hunter, it looks like you're going for a redesign of the entire thing. I think it's best if you stick with the two-tube cartridge from the original design, so it at least resembles Halo, but work out a plausible mechanism to make it spin, and add a few design tweaks here and there.

[Hunter]

WoL likes the idea of having old rocket launcher designs in the mod. I will post afew designs on the other thread.

[rossmum]

:O That looks amazing WoL. Is that my AR?

Edit: I like the muzzle flash but I think it needs to be a bit smaller. Or maybe add a bit of blue bits in it, I think it would make it look better, and the AR is gas powered isnt it?
http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/img/facepalm.jpeg

It's gas-operated, not gas-powered. Every modern assault rifle and its mother is gas-operated. Paintball guns, BB guns and gas replicas for reenactment groups are gas-powered.

All gas-operated means is that expanding gases are drawn out of the barrel as the bullet passes through and used to push a piston back, and as the piston is connected to the bolt it pushes that back, too. The gas comes from the exploding powder and has squat to do with firing the round, only cycling the action for the next shot.

WoL, cave looks ace.

[PopeAK49]

^ lol, my shotgun is gas-pow...i mean operated.

[Donut]

WoL likes the idea of having old rocket launcher designs in the mod. I will post afew designs on the other thread.
it wouldnt make much sense in practice, but cosmetically, if you had a semi exposed gear that grabs the teeth of the rocket barrel to make it spin it would look kinda cool. kind of like the minigun from UT2004

[Heathen]

My car is gas operated :haw:

This all looks really nice.

[Advancebo]

My car is "gas" operated if you know what I mean:lmao:

[PopeAK49]

^ O I GET IT! You fart in your car to make it run.:haw:

[Hunter]

Stop offtopicness

[TVTyrant]

...Except for the M16, whos major pitfall is the lack of a gas piston. Instead, its gas tube directly uses gas to cycle the bolt.

Also, the Sturmgewehr and other early style assault rifles used blowback. This was because early designers weren't certain the gas systems would work with the short barrels. Also, there was the fact that very few countries and developers were used to a gas system, while every SMG available at the time was either recoil operated or blowback operated.

By the way, very impressive textures on the cave. The shiny-ness helps :P

[Bad Waffle]

heh, speaking of gas powered, i had an amazing homemade burrito for lunch today, and i doused it with super-spicy guacamole sauce

worst decision ever

[Con]

cool story bro

[Hunter]

I made other topic to save clogging up this one with the weapons. Anyway, WoL. Do you want to use the origional idea but instead of having the whole thing rotating there could be an other cylinder inthe middle which rotates. And the normal outer cylinder could just be protection. Then it looks the same but works differently. Personally I like it how it is, but its up top you WoL. What do you want to do?

[Bad Waffle]

just have two rotating barrels?

[Hunter]

Noo, one min, I will make a quick animation.

Edit: Lesson has finished, will do it when I get home.

Instead of 'clogging this one up' or making a new thread, why not just PM Wave, if you're only wanting to get questions answered directly from him?

[Hunter]

I mean somthing like this Wol. The outer casing could have a different design.
Some teeth could be put on the inner cylinder some where that it can stickout for the moter to grip.

[Hunter]

Youtube video is working now.

[ExAm]

I dunno, i don't like it. The teeth are still on the outer cylinder, what point is there for them to be there?

[t3h m00kz]

I probably shouldn't crit because I don't know shit about animating lol, but I noticed the two subtracted cylinders don't lock back the same place. When the youtube video ends and you replay it, they start rotating from a different place.

But, I'm assuming this is just a sketch animation, so I probably shouldn't bitch

[Bad Waffle]

just model the bottom rocket launcher here

and make it so theres two barrels that rotate. All you gotta do is a simple model, i'll finish it up.

[BobtheGreatII]

Why does this look like this is where the spartan laser got it's looks.

[Heathen]

Gah Dush.

[ExAm]

My problem with that is it looks nothing like Halo at all.

[Lateksi]

Modify the back and it will look.

[Hunter]

I probably shouldn't crit because I don't know shit about animating lol, but I noticed the two subtracted cylinders don't lock back the same place. When the youtube video ends and you replay it, they start rotating from a different place.

But, I'm assuming this is just a sketch animation, so I probably shouldn't bitch

I dunno, i don't like it. The teeth are still on the outer cylinder, what point is there for them to be there?

==>


I mean somthing like this Wol. The outer casing could have a different design.
Some teeth could be put on the inner cylinder some where that it can stickout for the moter to grip.
:confused2:

[Bad Waffle]

Hunter, you're making this more difficult than it should be.

[Hunter]

I noticed, I think I sorta fucked up and got people confused. I am making that old rl concept now.

Sorry :(

[Heathen]

GOOD.

[ExAm]

Hey, WOL, Got anything else that needs revamping for HRH? I'm in a modeling mood.

[Bad Waffle]

Mombasa has a shitload of things it needs, i'll just dump images in and you can pick what you fancy. Take note that they're all scenery, so model detail accordingly.

[ExAm]

Damn, I was hoping to redesign a weapon ):

Meh, i'll see about something there.

[Hunter]

Is this going to run on my computer? The amount of detail going into it is crazy Lol.

Up to 8K per weapon as well Lol.

Edit: I will do afew of those as well when I have done RL. Probably have a go at the piping.

[Bad Waffle]

8k? noooo...more like 3-5k

[SnaFuBAR]

Up to 8K per weapon
fail.

[Hunter]

Oh, because when I asked you the tri count on the weapons you said up to 8k or something like that.

[mech]

Triangle count =/= polycount

8k polygons could be 40k tris.

[Disaster]

Triangle count =/= polycount

8k polygons could be 40k tris.
This man speaks the truth.

[Hunter]

Forget it...

What's the problem?

Bottom one.

[Bad Waffle]

Hey, look at that. Good job hunter :D

And if i ever told you 8k, im sorry. Also, as a personal note, Rob Oplawar is my definition of pitiful if he thinks he can act all nice to me but be a bitch when he's not directly talking to me :)

[Hunter]

Okay, you got a limit on the amount on tris you want?
6k

I should be able to make it nice and detailed. Would you have a try of that BR maybe later on, as a little test, because I think the attachments and the design would look nice in this tag set.

Sorry, I ment 6K.

More or less done that part. (Needs making fatter so two tubes can rotate in the middle...

Tri's: 2890

[Bad Waffle]

Lookin good, hunter

[Heathen]

Looked like a badass forerunner structure earlier.

[ExAm]

The "but it doesn't even look like Halo!" part of my mind is having an aneurysm right now. I thought this was High Resolution Halo, not High Resolution Other Shit.

[Heathen]

My "But it looks fucking cool" part of my brain is dancing so...

[Masterz1337]

It is Bungie's design for a high res RL.

[Heathen]

orly?

[ExAm]

It is Bungie's design for a high res RL.Which never made it into Halo :|
I'd prefer to see a high res take on the original RL

[Heathen]

The mongie was just a concept.

Just because it was turned down doesn't mean it isn't great.

[Masterz1337]

Which never made it into Halo :|
I'd prefer to see a high res take on the original RL
From what i've understood, they wanted to keep everything at the same detail level. Not have super realistic BR like the concept art they had for it, and then just, regular magnum or SMG which looked nearly identicle to their H1/H2 counterparts..

[Bad Waffle]

Which never made it into Halo :|

I hear you brother. I'm not totally tossing out the original, the HRH rocket is going to indeed be very reminicent of the h1 ingame launcher. Right now hunter is just doing the prelim work so i can go in and make it work.

[DaneO'Roo]

I personaly think this new rocket launcher is more halo then the old one.

[Heathen]

I personaly think this new rocket launcher is more halo then the old one.
This I do not see.

I think its halo, but more than the original?

[itszutak]

This I do not see.

Human weaponry tends to be angular with occasional round bits.

The rocket launcher was almost completely smooth bits.

[Bad Waffle]

Plus, the older one was really boring looking, although it had a really neat mechanism.

[t3h m00kz]

Personally, I think comparing the Rocket Launcher to the other human weapons is like comparing a bunch of Lamborghinis and Corvettes to a Mack semi truck, so I could understand the difference in look. Well, that and they obviously went for a Marathon-style rocket launcher.

Still, I do like the new one.

[Hunter]

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/rl_04.jpg

Waaaaaay to flat on the sides, I am going to do something about that later or tomorrow because I am going out in a minute. Needs the bottom part, and some more parts in the middle, also, does it look to boring in the middle where the wires lead to the ... "sights"?

And I think the barrels will rotate with a belt, with a cover over it. So ignore the teeth you can see in the middle.

[Malloy]

looks alright, I dont like how one of those wires look though

[NuggetWarmer]

I feel bad for any marines trying to use that. It must be ridiculously heavy!

[Malloy]

lol looks like the default RL with a zimmaframe on it.

like its Grandad prototype.

[TeeKup]

Jesus christ it looks like a goddamn cannon.

....Give it to me....

E: Quick question, how do you hold it?

[Hunter]

Have not done the lower half yet or the handle. ^

[Timo]

That rocket launcher will only be awesome if the barrels push backwards into the gun like a big ass artillery gun when fired, while rotating like the halo rocket launcher didhttp://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-3.gif.

[Hunter]

Thats a good idea :) Takes away recoil. Add a spring to the back or something?

[Hotrod]

Yeah, and throw anything weaker than a Spartan flying back with it...

[Hunter]

By the looks of the design it is designs for a spartan anyway, because where is the padding on the shoulder support? (Which I am adding btw).

I don't know how to make it reload, I suggested that you push the top back and it locks backward, then you flick a switch to spring it back with a spring, would be a nice animation, but pretty dangouse.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/rl_reload.gif

Switch:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/rl_reload_switch.jpg

WoL doesn't like that though.

[Advancebo]

It would look pretty hard to pull the thing back, considering it goes towards you.

[Inferno]

Lol I just noticed it says GAH DUSH on the side.

Also that looks so impossibly bulky and heavy to hold. Even for teh mastur cheeb.
Also it would take ages to reload. Like the LMG's on CoD4.

[Heathen]

Human weaponry tends to be angular with occasional round bits.

The rocket launcher was almost completely smooth bits.
I can see that now.

Like the recoil idea.

And with the heavy comment, why not make it a little easier to hold.
Some shoulder padding or something to let it rest on the player.

[t3h m00kz]

The rockets in that animation are... ehh... backwards

the An Hero cannon. ;D

[Hunter]

Bare in mind it has not yet got the grip or bottom half. Look at tje design.

[ExAm]

I don't like that reloading idea. Anything where you insert two individual rockets into a flimsy pair of tubes doesn't sit well with me. I prefer a two rocket cartridge idea. I've got a million ideas for this thing, too bad I'm not the one working on it ):

[Hotrod]

The rockets in that animation are... ehh... backwards

the An Hero cannon. ;D
They seems perfectly fine to me, you sure you aren't looking at it backwards?

[Heathen]

Holy crap....so I, like muki...totally misunderstood this thing.

I thought the other end was the business end.

Wow.

Muki, it shoots out of the shorter side. The longer side goes over the players shoulder...

You help out hunter, because he gets the modelling, but he really doesnt understand the reload. I'm too busy to give in depth direction <_<

[Lex1337]

Damn artists. Your guys' work is never done. You guys need to set a certain day on which this will be released or we may never get this mod or may have to wait like it's the new Duke Nukem game.

[TeeKup]

Damn artists. Your guys' work is never done. You guys need to set a certain day on which this will be released or we may never get this mod or may have to wait like it's the new Duke Nukem game.

What you say is heresy. Artists never set dates......unless their forced to by giant publishers. >_>;

[t3h m00kz]

OHH okay I get it now. I'm just so used to the original Halo launcher that when I see a long end, I expect rockets to fly out of that.

Wouldn't rockets coming out of that tiny ass barrel have like, zero accuracy?

[Heathen]

iwas jsut thinking that

[Bad Waffle]

Damn artists. Your guys' work is never done. You guys need to set a certain day on which this will be released or we may never get this mod or may have to wait like it's the new Duke Nukem game.

HRH is a side project for me. I can't set dates for it because other stuff comes first. But i can guarantee you that it will come out before 2011 :D

[ExAm]

You heard the man, Hunter. PM me so I can start brainstorming stuff >:U

[SnaFuBAR]

Look at dis scrub. Never seen high impulse shoulder fired weapons?

[ExAm]

HyAl9qK3Rlg

@hotrod: If this weapon doesn't knock this guy over when he's in the right stance, it sure as hell won't knock a Spartan over. Plus, the weapon we're talking about for HRH is a ROCKET LAUNCHER, meaning, it doesn't use an explosive to fire the projectile. The projectile propels itself, and the gases that would be making the weapon recoil are ejected out of the back instead of actually producing any recoil.

[Hunter]

The whole rocket laucher is about 40% done. The tube iss still a pplace holder. There is a suuport which will go on the back/near.

[t3h m00kz]

Well, I said that it would knock down anything weaker than a Spartan, so that implies that a Spartan wouldn't get knocked over, but, seeing as I didn't really understand how Rocket Launchers work, I guess I was wrong. Oh well, thanks for clearing that up.

[Lateksi]

Also that looks so impossibly bulky and heavy to hold. Even for teh mastur cheeb.

Spartan laser?

[FRain]

LMAO @ Second Fire.
"Remember to keep 80% of your weight on your front foot."

(WHUMPH)

[Pooky]

Spartan laser?

remember how marines could fire that thing one handed in the back of a mongoose :gonk:

[Masterz1337]

Or how they could fire the sniper rifle with one hand on the side of the tank.

[TeeKup]

I love video games.

[Rook]

On AotCR Johnson was pretty damn accurate with it too.

[DarkHalo003]

It's only because it was Johnson that was doing it. >_>

[Lateksi]

Yeah it makes "sense" because he's a marksman, too. But still kind of unreal to fire it one handed lol.

[t3h m00kz]

Him being Sgt Johnson should be enough of a reason. ;D HE GANGSTAH

[Heathen]

Him being Sgt Johnson should be enough of a reason. ;D HE GANGSTAH
And dead.

[DarkHalo003]

Why do you have to be so morbid? :gonk:

Why do you have to be so -rep.
Also he's black he's used to shooting out off vehicles as they drive by.


Offensive post is offensive.

I gotta say though, bold choice by bungie to kill off a minor-turned-major character in such a lame way.

How is my post offensive? Heathen's been saying some pretty morbid stuff lately.....no offense Heathen, just pointing out part of the pattern. :tinfoil:

I agree with Heathen. Although, what way could Johnson have died that would have made it awesome?

[Inferno]

Yeah seriously he was killed by the worlds lamest boss.

Dark does everything I say go right over your head? I was talking about MY post.

Oh my bad. See what time after time of neg rep has done to me. :gonk:

To get a bit back on topic, sorry if this may have been asked before; but will High-Res Halo, being that it's trying to aim for every detail, have FP legs? This is just out of simple curiosity.

I believe that Choking Victim tried that a while back for the Zteam maps, but was unsuccessful. I don't think it is possible to have proper FP legs.

[Gwunty]

Becuase everything in fp moves along with the camera?

Impossible in CE. This has been said before.

What I wanna know, is where did that fucking light bulb get a huge laser from anyway, and why didn't he use it to help you in the Library? Or Hell, why didn't he use it against Tartarus in Halo 2? That made Johnson's death doubly lame IMO.

[Hunter]

There should of been a giant robot type boss, built by the forrunners. Being controlled by GuiltySpark.

[Pooky]

Yeah... honestly I felt like Bungie only set that battle up the way they did because so many fans hated 343GS and wanted to murder it. Which was satisfying.

He'll magically come back to life in the future.
^ this.

He's the Black Jesus. I'd half expect it because, after all, it IS Halo and has tons of Biblical references. ololo
