Don't waste your time implementing trivial things that don't effect game play unless you really have nothing better to do.
i think its worth taking the time. It'll be relaxing compared to all the shit we've already gone through.
Well, if you want to have it in, then go for it. I mean, it'll be cool to have it play once in every few hundred times, and therefore not overdone. In plus, it adds some humor for those who know Red vs Blue.
Also, that tank is the sexiest beast I've seen in any game for a while.
I really wish youtube wasn't being horrible uploading lately. I would have had a video yesterday, but oh nooooo. <:mad:>
Also, WoL, why is it that when I spawn the hog, all of the wheels are facing in the direction of a full right turn? And when I get in, if I point the hog to the left the wheels only go the the starting position...
screwed up origins?
Yeah dude, it's pretty obvious what's goin on there, and I don't know shit about animating.
It's not as obvious as you might think. Because it works fine in WoL's map, but the second I ripped it, it threw a fit. I'm not too worried about it though, I won't be using it.Quote:

That hatch ani was really goofy, but I assume you know that.
Seemed like a result of cheat spawning it; after he gets out the hatch opens normally and stays open.Quote:

Lol yeah I have. And i did fire the machine gun a few times. And the song is off of the Halo 2 Volume 2 Soundtrack.Quote:

Lol, so that's my version of that one guys battle rifle concept. I saw someone else who was working on it here on Modacity. But I uploaded this on Halomaps sooo many years ago. In fact, my Halomaps age is still 15. lol
Anyway, that was my little trip through memory lane.
This thread like, really went in to stand still. What happened? Maybe if you guys ask WoL nice enough, he would give me the bsp model to work on. :p
Needz moar pictures, that would resuscitate the thread for sure.
Just a quick question though, how far along is this percentage-wise? Rough estimate...
Uh...Quote:

The list goes on. I blame WoL (Still don't like Bad Waffle) for the slow pace. :nsmug:
Kidding of course. We all have stuff in our lives. Don't have all the time in the world to sit down and do a mod.
You guys only have 1 weapon re done right?
Yeah, what weapons need doing, exactly?
You guys have the RL, anything else?
Uh, no...Quote:

Cool the AR got textures :)
Shotgun looks awesome.
Rocket FP made me vomit though.
Can't wait to see all of these with good FP anims.
orgasmed
AR looks like it's made out of carpet, but model's good. Display needs work:
-SELF ILLUMINATION :gonk:
-I can see the edges where it meets the rest of the gun, and it's ugly. Smooth it out some more.
-Add a little blue to the nearby segments of the gun to make it look like the display is lighting the rest.
RL model is also excellent. UVs, obviously, but you're using the stock texture so I won't complain. (I think.)
Shotgun is sexy.
ar texture is obivously a placeholder.
quite clearly.
They all look terrible texture wise.
The models are great...excessive shotty rails but w/e

Christ, I hate rails. It's like they're the backup plan for when your gun doesn't look fucking tactical enough. People who use rails without a very good reason should be force-fed them until they explode.
Holy hell guys. You do know I had nothing to do with the weapons right?
Nothing you see is final. Like at all. I can't even say that enough. Of course the texture on the RL is a place holder? Does it look like it belongs? The AR texture is shit too. I didn't model any of that. I was simply showing you what was in the map. And all of this has been around since his gallery thread:
http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9288
Wow, that Rocket Launcher looks too complex to even be in there :U

Don't get all defensive, I wasn't directing it at you. I was simply staing that I fucking hate overuse of rails and they don't belong in the Halo universe to begin with.Quote:

You could hardly even see Hunters Rocket concept in there, but the 3p model looks good. AR texture is quite disgusting. It almost doesn't seam correctly. The shotgun is lovely.

No offense, but it''s like you guys are trying to re-create another game inside what is already branded.
Shotgun really doesn't look "Halo." Not just the rails, but the ridges on the side and the "BIG SMALL BIG SMALL" pattern. The pattern seems to not serve a purpose as well, really... Great modeling though, regardless

It's keeping weapons and vehicles and such, higher poly, and adding to them as well.
Why would he bother to do something higher poly to keep it the exact same? Nostalgiafags.
I'm all for adding onto stuff, higher-poly versions of the old models would be pretty boring really, but the shotgun doesn't have a Halo look to it in my eyes. It looks more like it was "inspired" by the Halo shotgun if you know what I'm trying to say, and seems like something I'd expect to see out of COD4.
Still a nice gun though, and I wouldn't mind too much if it replaced the shotgun.
I still say loose the "big small big small" pattern, though.
Yes please.Quote:

I agree with snafums, but you have to please the people and the popular opinion seems to be to keep it all the same.
I rather like the shotgun, but would like it tweaked to look at tad more simplistic. Granted, the current design you have is also more realistic which i also like.
I like the shotgun, its just that most Halo weapons dont have rails, so it seems out of place, as the AR has not rails. Or another other of the weapons, cant really add rails to the AR, design not built for that kind of stuff.
I would prefer the shotgun to start, but maybe add rails to a few other weapons so the shotgun isnt the ONLY one with rails.
And you areretardedstupid if you think the textures where final, pretty obviouse they are place holders.
Also, this is HRH, but that does not mean all the weapons are going to be the same, and but higher poly... Like everone said, pointless. This mod is just adds a more smexy look to halo, High Resolution.
Most?Quote:

The thing about the Halo shotgun was that it always looked smooth and futuristic (to an extent), yet always seemed practical. I find that the rails on it make it seem too modern for Halo, and therefore take away what really made the Shotgun what it was.
I meant all lol, Just didnt type that for some reason.Quote:

You can voice your opinion as much as you want. I have nothing against it. But you guys managed to shitpost the hell out of the last page. Hopefully WoL will get on the forums and read his thread one of these days and voice his own opinion and let us know what he wants.
I actually like the shotgun a lot. It's not as distracting as you guys make it out to be. And for those of you who keep saying that we should keep everything the same and just add more details. That's the worst idea I've heard all day. I wouldn't want to play a mod where everything looks the same. I mean, I guess if that's what you really want, we can pull off all the extra details on the Scorpion, or the Warthog! Makes sense to me <:mad:> If you think you can do it better, feel free. Go make your own mod. If you don't like it, you can kindly remove yourself from this thread now.
Now let's get back on topic and continue talking about how great my Scorpion is. :cool:
Edit: I sense -rep in my future.
I guess you're right, and yes, your scorpion is amazing, we all love you for it, yay!
But yeah, the shotgun is great, very well done, no matter how different it may be.
One question though, I'm not sure if it has been answered, and I don't really feel like going through almost 150 pages to find the answer, but it says in the first post that the Assault Rifle, Pistol, Sniper Rifle, Shotgun and Needler will be remade. Now seeing that the Rocket Launcher has been added to the list, I was wondering if the rest of the weapons will be there as well?
Bob, I like you but that post made you seem like a prick. However, I understand where you were coming from so +rep instead of -rep.
Still love ya.
This. I'm all for making things new looking, interesting. I agree that the exact same things with more detail will be boring. But this is Hi-Res Halo. If something is blatantly un-Halo, it's not a matter of "lol nostalgiafag" or "uwant same shit? wtf boring", it's a matter of "hey, that looks out of place".Quote:

Because Enfields are badass, and rails like that only look at home on ArmaLites/lookalikes and G3/G33 anyways. If it were just one rail on top, IMO I think it would look much better...what the hell are you going to put on that shotgun that needs that much space? It already has a light located in the pump and a laser unit on the side of the pump. Unless you indend to put grenade launchers encircling the whoe thing, there's no point. The top rail is understandable though, because reflex sights are excellent for CQB.
guyz cn u plz maek pistol into dis awesum gun??????

I can't help it, i need to taunt everyone on the subject of "tactical" visual upgrades. This is why rails can be bad.
no, he just hates people who feel the need to add redundant rails to things because it 'looks [tacti-]cool'Quote:

That's actually useful though, and it's real-life. I'm talking about people thinking, "hmmm my model is missing something I KNOW I'LL ADD RAILS" and expecting it to fix everything. If it's an M4 or something, fine, I guess, but when it's something that never had them, it's not. Especially when not a single thing in the same ilk has rails, which is true in this case. Rails don't belong in the Halo universe the same way they wouldn't belong in a WWI game.Quote:

Btw, who says they're 1913's? You? Just because they're spaced?Quote:

Maybe have a few rails but most of the accessories integrated into the weapons themselves? (eg. Halo: ODST SMG type thing, but throw some rails on it).
I can kind of sort of see what Ross is saying; having excessive amounts of railing on it does change the style a bit and I do think that WoL went a little bit overboard with the railing. Maybe cut the side rails and leave the top one alone? Or have a shorter side rail near the front of the weapon for attachments and stuff? Something along those lines.
Then again, that might end up being too boring looking. I think it's nice that people are adding new concepts into the game for once. IDK, either way works out fine IMO xD.
I was going to invalidate Ross's argument with a picture of that M7/Caseless with the rails on it, but I couldn't find it. Then, I remembered it was CAD's SMG.
Even then, the rails on that fit the design and looked damn sexy.
baeleted imagery
go awayQuote:

The one weapon in the entire trilogy which has a rail only has a small one which lies flush with the top of the handle; it doesn't appear to be spaced at all, and it's integrated into the rifle the way a G36's handle rails are. It's simply an attachment point for optics, and that's it, much the same way the MP5 has attachment points to accept HK mounts or AKs have a dovetail to accept PSOs, Kobras and such. Full-length spaced rails like you'd see on an M4 have no place in Halo at all, they look wrong. You're usually the one to bring up consistency with the design language of something; the only rails that belong in Halo are minor attachment points like that on the BR, not full-length 1913-like rails, especially if there's no call for them in the first place (such as on the shotgun).
As for boring, rails are boring unless something is covering them. I don't know about you, but long stretches of repeating shapes do nothing for me. Would it really kill people to think of a better way of making something look more detailed, or maybe even - going out on a limb here - coming up with some original attachment systems? That'd fit better and look better, I think.
At the end of the day it's not my choice to make, I just think that for a sci-fi game of Halo's calibre, you really should either scrap them or figure out a new system that doesn't look so bland and boxy. Perhaps a non-spaced, low-profile rail where the sight ridge is (or even on the sight ridge itself, so it serves a purpose other than elevating the sights from the magazine a little).
The rear sights look pretty sick, I'll pay that.
Lol wow. When I get a chance, I'll get the gbx model and edit it... see if I can help it any. That good enough for any of you?
That's what I was saying. The shotgun [of Halo 3] has everything on it except a grenade launcher (and scope, but this model adresses that), and grenade launchers generally don't attach to side rails. The top is fine, I don't mind that. The sides are redundant.Quote:

Shotguns of Halo look sleek and cool. I have to say this one doesn't really. Fix the reflex sight and make only a small rail for it.
as much as my opinion will be completely ignored.
Having rails on that style of shotgun just does not mix in my opinion.
Seriously, why would a spartan have rails on his/her/its weapons when most of the targeting equipment is done via the helmet display?
flashlight?
helmet
reticle/sight
helmet display.
The ONLY thing i can think that would work is a laser dot on the underside of the gun or to one side out of the way not on top.
the pictures i have seen of this shotgun makes me want to regurgutate my morning breakfast.
Im with Rossmum on this one.
I honestly through this was High-Resolution-Halo not, High-Everythingwecanfuckingthinkofaddingforthefuckingfu nofit-Halo
Keep it high detail but also keep it simple.
call me a purfag for all i care but some of us want to beable to play this mod without atom powered computers.
