The 3rd Legion (3:00:04 PM): good thing my shield doesn't go down too far in the MP maps thatmuch
Masterz1337 (3:00:17 PM): your shield is alays being broken in spv2

The 3rd Legion (3:00:37 PM): anyways
The 3rd Legion (3:00:38 PM): 5)
The 3rd Legion (3:01:17 PM): can you change it so that when you're hit with the chaingun or any other weapon, the HUD doesn't flash into a complete white screen and i can't even see?
Masterz1337 (3:01:52 PM): uh... we can, but we havent done it, i never notice it
The 3rd Legion (3:01:59 PM): 6) did you change the MA5C's tracer yet?

Masterz1337 (3:04:01 PM): we're not getting a new mc armour in this
Masterz1337 (3:04:10 PM): in the poa video there soulda been some

The 3rd Legion (3:04:49 PM): yea
The 3rd Legion (3:04:50 PM): i know

The 3rd Legion (3:06:17 PM): yea i'm watching it again right now
The 3rd Legion (3:06:59 PM): looking at you dying, no AR tracers at all, and the pistol has actually reverted back to the original skin?
Masterz1337 (3:07:27 PM): well the ar tracers are tere
Masterz1337 (3:07:39 PM): pistol in that video is the same as the mp maps
The 3rd Legion (3:07:59 PM): really? didn't look like it =P
The 3rd Legion (3:08:08 PM): ok i see one TINY line of tracer
The 3rd Legion (3:09:23 PM): ok next question (also, i assume from your "next question" comment, the pistol will be changed dramatically, am i on the money?) 8) will the MA5K be any different?
Masterz1337 (3:10:23 PM): m5k might have the model youched up, for the most part itsthe same
The 3rd Legion (3:11:40 PM): ok
The 3rd Legion (3:12:47 PM): 9) is the new silenced weapon the BR or Carbine?
Masterz1337 (3:12:56 PM): no comment
The 3rd Legion (3:13:28 PM): fair enough, 10) will the ma5c now have the ability to give out headshots?
Masterz1337 (3:14:20 PM): no.... why would we?
The 3rd Legion (3:14:55 PM): just wondering
The 3rd Legion (3:15:35 PM): 11) will the chief's shielding look any different in 3p?
Masterz1337 (3:16:26 PM): probably
Masterz1337 (3:16:35 PM): will be one of the last things before release to be done
The 3rd Legion (3:17:08 PM): oh goody, oh and on a side note, some of the sticky nades, when thrown at heads and crotch, can't stick in the MP maps.....what's up with that?
Masterz1337 (3:17:39 PM): lag
The 3rd Legion (3:18:40 PM): and ok, 12) why are you guys cancelling the new armor if you're redoing the SMG your way instead of the bungie way, and how are the brutes coming? (the last bit is asked by haloking, he's, quote n19ht5talk3r (3:15:48 PM): DYING to know
Masterz1337 (3:19:23 PM): we're not cancelling any armour, we never had any in development to begin with
Masterz1337 (3:19:37 PM): brutes are comming good, you mgiht see more of them in teh next week or 2
The 3rd Legion (3:20:34 PM): ok, but i heard from *censored* that you guys are remaking the chief's suit from the ground up, what happened?

Masterz1337 (3:25:11 PM): they may get a reskin if dano is up to it
The 3rd Legion (3:26:22 PM): are you guys redoing the FP arms so they're easier to animate? teh lag said that their a PIA....not sure what that meant
Masterz1337 (3:26:38 PM): pain in ass

The 3rd Legion (3:40:47 PM): 15) will the chief's helmet visor be reflective?

The 3rd Legion (3:43:58 PM): ok, 16) will the shotty be changed at all?
Masterz1337 (3:45:08 PM): I hope so The 3rd Legion (3:45:47 PM): oh.....
The 3rd Legion (3:46:42 PM): 17) will any of the vehicles be reskinned? especially the wraiths
Masterz1337 (3:47:09 PM): no, they all have new shaders except for the hogs

Masterz1337 (4:03:27 PM): no
The 3rd Legion (4:03:52 PM): but will the SL be able to shoot all the way across the level? or does it have a limited range?
Masterz1337 (4:04:22 PM): uh shoots all teh way
Masterz1337 (4:04:28 PM): as long as you'll ever need it to
The 3rd Legion (4:06:35 PM): 22) do you have anything else you'd like to share? any other bit of info?

The 3rd Legion (11:42:53 AM): oh yea, i forgot, sorry
The 3rd Legion (11:43:41 AM): on redo, 23) will the flamethrower be reskinned too? so it would look like how the h3 flamethrower would look?

Masterz1337 (11:55:27 AM): and the spike nade is strong, it doesnt take much for it to bring someone down
Masterz1337 (11:55:31 AM): or weaken them
The 3rd Legion (11:56:48 AM):ooo, ok, 26) i heard that there are going to be some new enemies on the covie side, is that true?

Masterz1337 (12:09:35 PM): no
The 3rd Legion (12:10:58 PM): 30) is it possible for SPv2 to be released BEFORE halo 3?
Masterz1337 (12:12:41 PM): at the current rate, unlikely
Masterz1337 (12:13:04 PM): if dano can finish the brute skins, we could probablyy release in 2 weeks from teh day he's done

Masterz1337 (12:16:25 PM): they would still do it
Masterz1337 (12:16:30 PM): I don't even consider it a bug in spv1
Masterz1337 (12:16:43 PM): I consider it peopel whgo are to stuipid and walk in the lkine of fire
