You know what REALLY pisses me off?
Gravemind's visions cause [i]the right side of the reticle to move up by one pixel[/i]
Only Gravemind's, not Cortana's.
I miss the old red iron sights on the shotgun. 4/5's shotgun looks so angular and clunky. I have some really fond memories of Infection in Reach and seeing the old rounded top shotgun with the red sights brings me back.
Oh no the top rail or sight or stock isn't flat. Even in the First person and smart scope, still looks like a shotgun. Not all shotguns are completely flat and rectangular, even today. I don't even get how it's overly designed.
I hope for forgeable fightfight maps, since well, I want firefight on h5forge
I like how he plays with the Boltshot
Also I still see nothing wrong with the shotgun :v:
Oh also is anyone else bothered by the bolt being on the wrong side of the gun on all of the weapons?

I don't see how it looks like a shotgun in first person. It has no shape whatsoever. It's basically just a big rectangle with greeble and a handle.
One of the most important design principles is creating something iconic and recognizable. By that standard, the shotgun is absolute garbage. There's not a damn thing iconic or recognizable about it, unlike the older shotgun designs.

that is pretty cool how they went back and looked at all of halo 1's pistol animations and recreated them.
also holy shit the volume of that SPNKr equip sound
With a few days comes progress on the skybox. I've actually gotten a lot further than I thought I would have.

I'm actually close to completion in terms of importing, just got to import some clouds and the artificial sun structure and I am done. Then comes the long process of making it look closer to the actual skybox and fixing up the weird z-fighting issues (probably due to the use of the default shader, 101F, which has no transparency)
Not sure how many follow ElDorito related stuff in here. But alot of cool things coming soon(tm)

Anybody getting else getting crazy matchups in Arena after (ironically) the update that added focused matchmaking? Now, no matter what I pick, I'm getting people from silver all the way to onyx in the same games. Maybe Overwatch has just hit the playerbase and it's choosing from a smaller pool?

Will you be making this into a flatgrass sort of map? Looks like a killer skybox for a sandbox.

Not sure. Original plan was to have it as a clientside mod for maps, but I'm leaning towards that forge canvas ide now. I'll need to see if I can get permission to use the map for that purpose.

should be easy to get from him, although you may want to make the terrain more forerunner like instead of grass.

It's more that it's his system, and I need to know if there's a way I can use it without it being easily distributed and used otherwise.
Also, that's not grassy terrain; It's a giant void. The shader I currently use for that has its settings set to that colour, which I can change.

Was referring to flatgrass, changing the grass to metallic "classic" forerunner.

In that case, you'd probably need to speak to Xe_Creature about that - I'm not currently planning of integrating this into flatgrass.
Halo Wars 2 will be playable at E3
I don't think another mainline Halo title will be announced this year. However, I'd love for them to make a smaller spinoff (ODST style) based on Harvest, or hell, just an MCC or Reach port to Windows.
I'm behind on the books, are ODSTs even a thing anymore or do people just take it all the way and become a Spartan?
there are three ODSTs in Kilo-Five in the books, not sure what else the shock troopers are up to
Buck was still an ODST shortly before 5, but then [sp]the rookie's death[/sp] basically made him finally go full SPARTAN-IV, so yeah the ODST are still a thing. They're probably trying to deal with insurrectionists again right now.
god [sp]rookies death is the dumbest shit[/sp]
All I wanted was to play but these guys had something else in mind.

Canonically, yes, they are. Spartans are ridiculously expensive to train and augment, not to mention the potential of them going AWOL and joining the insurgents. IIRC they haven't made an appearance in Halo 4 or 5, with the exception of Buck (but he's a Spartan now anyway), so you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise. Real shame too, ODSTs are far more interesting than the Spartan IVs.
I was talking about IVs by the way, it seemed like they were starting to become easy enough to mass produce that it's a better investment for all that training than ODSTs
All the notable ODST characters still around are Spartan-IVs now anyway. It's like 343's relevancy upgrade method.
