The Halo Thread V12: The Last Thread Turned Into A Bridge - Games

Who said they did the modelling for Halo2A? They outsourced everything else. IIRC Certain Infinity did Halo 2A MP

Well then there you go. That's why it didn't look wonky. I get the feeling 343 likes to try and put their own spin on the old bungie designs no matter what it is instead of just faithfully remaking something.

It's really just the helmet thats fucked up. They did a pretty solid job on the mk V armor.

The body is leaps and bounds above the H4/ H1A version, but the helmet is leaps behind. Luckily, the MKIV helmet looks more the part than their MKV, so I'll wear that with the MKV body. But fuck, my helmet is better and I made it while I was fucking plastered

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;49309091]Can we see it? :D[/QUOTE] I posted this [URL="http://puu.sh/lUjHB/99f368343d.png"]lil nigga[/URL] a few threads ago. It de-railed the conversation and kinda ruined shit for a while so I'm not even gonna thumbnail it. It's ancient and the textures are like my first attempt at doing anything pbr related in quixel so there's some bits where the material is painted metal that I didn't want to be, like the backpack intale/ speakers/ whateverthefuck and the visor glass lining. This was for a [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_ubr_9zJ3s"]UE4 halo project I abandoned[/URL]. If I ever came back, I'd re-do the whole thing tbh. With even MORE ARTISTIC LICENSE >:0

That fucking jump animation bro. Dead.

I just got a private message that Wickerman wants to be on Red Team.

I don't have the time to join. I already said that.

snip because bottom of page every fucking time i do a blog post

Kinda hope we get some non-forge BTB maps, but still seems pretty good.

[B][U]CARTOGRAPHER'S GIFT[/U] DECEMBER 2015 UPDATE[/B] Last month, Battle of Shadow and Light, the first free Halo 5: Guardians content update released, bringing with it new REQs and Big Team Battle. This week, the next free update brings Forge in Cartographer's Gift. Since the introduction of Forge in Halo 3, the community has been creating, sharing, and pushing the mode to its absolute limits. With Forge in Halo 5: Guardians, the only limit is your imagination. The new Forge was built with years of community feedback in mind, and arrives just in time for the holidays. [B]FORGE[/B] [IMG]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/community/Content-Updates/Cartographer's-Gift/forge-01-1475656c8c2240f0bbbd0e2f4c07d788.gif[/IMG] Forge has been rebuilt from the ground up for Halo 5: Guardians. Giving more power and control to the Forge community was the primary goal, and community feedback will continue to fuel the evolution of Forge as we update the mode with new features and content. Here are just some of the features launching with Forge in Cartographer's Gift: - [B]Grouping – [/B]Groups can be created dynamically with a single button press. Select more objects and press the button again to add to the group or press the button again to split the group up. - [B]Multi-Select/Edit[/B] – Forgers can select and manipulate up to 64 individual objects at one time (more if combined with Groups); movement, rotation, property editing, everything you’re able to do to a single object. - [B]1700+ Objects[/B] – Forgers can expect a variety of pieces from primitive shapes, structure parts, accent pieces, detail props, and gameplay objects custom built for Forge. Mix them in with weapons, turrets, and power-ups makes this the ultimate Forge. [IMG]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/community/Content-Updates/Cartographer's-Gift/h5-guardians-forge-07-module-7bf4f10256144237ac4f7faba36b33cd.jpg[/IMG] - [B]Light Objects[/B] – Place real light objects in the world to light up interior spaces or just enhance a location on a map. Light objects have a whole slew of properties; point and spot types, light color/distance/falloff, light cone shape/size, lens flairs, and more. - [B]Light Fixtures [/B]– Additional light fixture objects such as light posts, beacon lights, etc. that come with lights built into them making it possible to set dress and light a space at the same time. Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary Colors – In addition to over 100 colors available, the vast majority of the Forge building pieces have tunable primary, secondary, and tertiary color change sections on them. This allows objects color variations from the blatantly oblivious to very subtle. Many also support changing the matte/metallic reflective properties of the color surface as well.

Though functionally obsolete well before the Covenant War began, when it absolutely, positively, had to be blown into small fragments the M41 could be counted on to deliver the hammerblow. [B]SPNKr[/B]: Make some noise! Twin-tube shoulder-fired rocket launcher with Smart-Link sights. Rockets can lock-on to air targets. [B]SPNKr EM[/B]: Four rockets, two tubes, one launcher. Improved SPNKr Rocket Launcher with four-round magazine. SPNKr EM rockets can home on both air and ground targets. [B]SPNKr EX[/B]: No place to run. No place to hide. Advanced SPNKr Rocket Launcher that fires laser-guided cluster warhead munitions. SPNKr EX Rockets detonate in proximity to enemies, releasing explosive submunitions. [B] SPNKr PRIME[/B]: This pain train has no brakes. Mythic SPNKr Rocket Launcher that fires fast, powerful rockets. Equipping the SPNKr Prime also boosts movement speed, shield strength, and jump height. [B]NEW ASSASSINATIONS[/B] [IMG]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/community/Content-Updates/Cartographer's-Gift/nice-try-6656a2d7502840d9bf3101cff672493c.gif[/IMG] [B]NICE TRY[/B] [IMG]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/community/Content-Updates/Cartographer's-Gift/oh-snap-4dd144d193204bef86c95770518be865.gif[/IMG] [B]OH SNAP[/B] [B]MARK IV [GEN1][/B] This unlockable REQ in Halo 5: Guardians is Mythic in more ways than one. Think you'll be lucky enough to don this historic armor set? [IMG]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/community/Content-Updates/Cartographer's-Gift/cg-markiv_thumb-0e94d37752de4e968ef4cb2b8cd39923.jpg[/IMG] [B]Armor[/B]: As the basis for the GEN1 Mjolnir standard, many components of the original Mark IV can be used with GEN2 techsuits and VISRs after firmware updates. This hybrid GEN2/MARK IV [GEN1] suit is still used by select Spartan-II's. [B]Helmet[/B]: A battered Mark IV helmet once worn by the Master Chief is the last thing that SPARTAN-IV candidates see before beginning their grueling evaluation and preliminary augmentation cycle. [B]NEW WARZONE MAP[/B] [B]BATTLE OF NOCTUS[/B] [IMG]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/community/Content-Updates/Cartographer's-Gift/h5-guardians-mp-warzone-battle-of-noctus-blademaster-module-04b511b49ec54a358dc6f600d412331c.jpg[/IMG] Battle of Noctus takes place on Andesia and features two garage bases, a first for Warzone! Using vehicles early is a key tactic for locking down base control. Since you can’t spawn ground vehicles at the Monument, it might appear to be less important than either garage, but capturing this base provides quick access to plenty of boss locations and sightlines into both garages. Smart teams will definitely want to hold this position. If you find yourself facing a team stacked with vehicles be sure to use the many man cannons littered around the map to cut down on travel time and perhaps drop in on an unassuming vehicle below. [B]NEW ARENA MAP OVERGROWTH [IMG]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/community/Content-Updates/Cartographer's-Gift/h5-guardians-mp-arena-overgrowth-reaction-time-module-9ee9e8c777d844568eae1f9325e01004.jpg[/IMG] [/B]Overgrowth is a small-scale asymmetrical map that plays best on Slayer and Strongholds. For Slayer, controlling the Energy Sword is key as the map features tight corridors and small combat spaces for you to slice up your opponents. For Strongholds, the covered bridge offers many tactical options, as it allows players to engage on any of the three stronghold locations quickly, and is the location where the Plasma Caster can be found.

"Nice Try" looks awesome.

[QUOTE=EpicRandomnes;49317680]"Nice Try" looks awesome.[/QUOTE] It took me ages to realise what was happening. The roundhouse kick should really be slower. It just looks like the attacker grabs the leg from under him rather than grabbing an oncoming kick.

[QUOTE=Agoat;49323475]I had no idea this was the case and I'm no longer interested in that animation.[/QUOTE] That's why it's called "nice try." As the attacker, you catch an attempted roundhouse kick and lift your opponent up. It's a nice idea but the timing is all over the place.

I always thought assassinations in halo all appeared way too jerky and just looked weird. It would be cool if they were the same speed of deus ex's takedowns but that would probably cause some issues with gameplay
