High-Resolution-Halo

Yeah. Don't place original sound effect with a bad one just because it's custom.

I disagree about the Plasma Pistol... the lack of detail in the texture is going to make it feel kind of crappy next to a bunch of fuckawesome weapons :\

Question: Are you doing new weapon animations? Or is this going to have the same old stale Bungie animations we've been seeing for years?

more like PEW CHICKA PIGGITY PEWW

I'll look at the pp, i might be mistaken. And of course we're doing new animation. the guns would need it anyway.

Lovin the shottie except the stock it looks like a rather odd and impractical if I'm understanding the design correctly. If you wan suggestions looks at other retractable stock styles and play around with them a bit. The traditional M4 stock looks bad ass always. The crane stock is very sexy (See here for stock). The paratrooper style folding stock doesn't really look good on a shotgun. But here are some images of the folding style stock if you want some other ideas

http://www.combatstocks.com/Shotgun_Stocks_Folding.cfm

The stock on the m14 EBR is also a nice place to get some interesting futuristic ideas (see here for m14 stock)

Personally I just don't like what you got there. Rest of the gun is dead sexy, but you should add a bottom rail on the pump.

shit peng, you've been the most helpful with the stock design. Thanks.

This is awesome, the needler hardly ever gets love.

I used to give the needler love but my doctor said I needed to stop or else it wouldn't heal.

badoom-pssshhh

ok i promise next time i post it'll be with new pictures

Yummy. Also, I didnt see the date on my bump.

I know about the pouches

Pouches....

fuck you

Fix the stock, instead of two bars, make it one that has the ability to slide in, sort of like an assault rifle stock.

.....what.

The chief is starting to look a little pudgy. Kinda like Mario. I agree that the shotgun end looks a little odd, but I guess we won't notice it much ingame. Do what you think is best.

:D

did i mention i obviously havent fixed the stock yet?

i thought the pictures meant i hadnt, but i guess not.

that looks like massive fail WoL

Oh wow, awesome. Feet seem a bit wide though.

No, feet are matched up to the dimensions perfectly. You people said the chest was too tiny--i sized it up just ever so minutely, and now he looks fat. I'm not changing it this time :D

Yes i can triple post. Or can i?

Tripple post validated... with epicness! :aaaaa:

I like it. Maybe keep the chief render unskinned... It would be different.

It would still look much better skinned. I really just see a modeled Spartan, nothing incredibly out of the ordinary with it, but it is a good model none-of-the-less.

I've noticed that in halo, skinning actually reduces detail, especially if it's overdone. I hope that whoever skins this does not overdo the detail on the skin.

itszutak, i would be hurting myself if i skinned it wrong. It'll look fine.

You doing anything with the plasma grenade? Make it look more interesting maybe?

Will the Plasma grenades look more like plasma or more cloud, dust-like explosions?

My computer sucks from what I hear, but it so far can run on with decals if I put it on 640x480. Not too bad, but it lags a bit when Norton and Apple want to be gay and spam it with pointless updates.

Would a good tester to see if our computers can run these maps be this one(?):
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3650

Church is probably the hardest map to get good fps on, try that.

Yes Church is one of the few that I don't get above 45 fps on...

I get >60fps on all CE maps :awesome:

needs more stock pics plzkthx

I'd have to agree on Church being the hardest map for FPS. I can load up Valkryie with a bunch of magic and it still runs faster than Church for me, because the entire map isn't based off Dynamic Lights (while Church is, which gives it such a kickass look).

TBH, I think Valkryie looks better than church. :|

Oh ok, so is this gonna be harder than church or what?
Because I can run church without any slowdown.

We wont know until we get there. Honestly, if you have a 7800 or better, you'll probably be decent. 8800 and you're great. 6800 is about the generation I'm wondering about preformance. Even so, just lower the resolution and graphics and you'll be fine. It'll still look better than any other Halo map.

Any renders of the weapons you have so far WoL? You get my AR textured for it yet? I really want to see it textured Lol.

ya, mowr rinderz rite nowz!!! please....

and how's the skinning going so far Wave? i guess u have ur work cut out for u with the bsp, biped, vehicles, and weapons, huh? good luck mate :)

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.

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)

:(

Wait...
WAT?

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

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

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?

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

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

I expect pretty wings of awesomeness.

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

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

they're already there, look harder

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

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

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

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


What the fuck???

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

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

i didn't say WHEN you'd see it

also km i have something for you

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

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.

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.

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



If so, Wtf.

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

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

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

all ingame, pardon the old spartan bitmap and the lack of ar texture (and anims)

:awesome:

Might I say though that the B looks too much like a 3. Just saying.

Is that for real :eek:

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.

Jesus, that rocky texture is beautiful. /huggles WOL
