I have an I don't care get back on topic. I want to see some of the Covenant maps redone. Chill Out and Damnation would be awesome with redone lighting and modeling. I just wish I had enough skill to even play a part in this.
They aren't making anything different, just in greater detail.
However, I had a remake of Damnation planned, but could never really get into it other than the basic 3d layout. I couldn't get a good theme to work for it that would account for the layout's oddities (the horizontal beams leading to the sniper ridge, the double-backing setup of the upper base, etc.) so I'm not bothering with it for a while. Once I can competently model terrain, I will, however, make a Chill Out remake which will have a very concise and logical (if you can call Forerunner architecture logical) theme.
I believe some of the content will be different. For example, if Sidewinder were to be redone, it would be the typical same icy map. It would take place in an altered atmosphere, taking advantage of stronger graphical work.
Similar to Tombstone/Hang Em High, except without teh suck.
what hows that one work... lol, I've never been able to fit a usb cable into my pc backwards ever. It just seems physically impossible.
At any rate that sux...
Also... ^ yeahno pistol. I never really liked the battle rifle to be honest. I personally liked it better when it was a semi automatic gun like in the e3 video. The burst fire always annoyed me, plus what rifle shoots only in burst mode, I mean wtf? (I bet there is a gun that does this and some gun knowledgeable person is gonna yell at me, but still its a dumb idea anyway).
I hardly ever used that horrid weapon in halo 2... the covi carbine was my fav rifle, aside from the sniper rifle.
Also about gfx cards.. ATI Radeon 9700 TX ftw
I need an upgrade... my system won't even run XP SP2. I have some sort of incompatibility problem with it that I can't solve.
Wave, I HIGHLY recommend against using any "Halo 2" weapons. Keep it Halo. No Battle Rifle. No weapon and statistic changes. It's a graphical improvement to how the game looks and interacts. At best, simply just improve upon the animations and the feel. The Bungie-Style has been proven to work.
It turns gamers away when a change is made that reflects upon gameplay in a negative way. Battle Rifle combat in Halo 1 has not been proven effective enough to retain the value of the original game. The Pistol has been, and will probably still be, the greatest weapon in the entire game!
Even if the model is to be changed, I believe it should not. Simply upgrade the Pistol Model and Animation! Keep it idea exactly the same.
