I actually like the look of the D79H-TC, and also the pilotable G79H-TC/MA, as 343 went with a more "Old Fashioned" look then with it's earlier D77/D77H models. The earlier pelicans are meant to look like small transport vessels, Which it does. But I get the sense that 343 is trying to mix some reality into the series, as much of the technology has been stripped. The new pelicans remind me of the Hind, which as many of us know, is both a transport AND attack heli. the back is a bit funny to me, but I prefer the new pelicans.

Nice, smooth texture cycle. Almost couldn't tell.

Believe me, I'm not THAT stupid. I blew it up with what was left of the rest of the fleet.

Concerning the fleet action, I noticed the team was able to change the way the ships 'fly', and was curious if they could modify the way the fleet engaged targets, so they try to stay a certain distance away. Is it possible, or is that one of the 'hardcoded' portion of its programming?

Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE the fact the flood is a stubborn bastard. I just found it a bit strange that the flood swarm gets to the first planet held by it's target, wrecks it, then ambles about in deep orbit of the place. not taking it over, not moving to the next planet, just not doing anything else.

And concerning the UNSC pathway bit: The only way I found to effectively fight is to let the individual unit's do their own thing. the only problem is that the AI seems to sometimes forget it's in a fight for it's life, and opens itself up for a broadside for no reason.

Not to mention that the units, when presented with a flood swarm, will try to charge THROUGH the swarm, infecting themselves in the process. Is there any reason for this?

I have some 'comments' about the current build-

1.There seems to be a problem with your flood path. I don't know if you do it on purpose, but in my experience, the flood gets to a planet held by the target, obliterates the ever loving **** out of it, then just stays there. and does so for the rest of the game. I had one instance where they took out a planet, and left the MAC platform on the other side of the planet alone, for the entire game.

2. I KNOW there is a problem with the UNSC unit's pathway. I don't know about you, but if I see a large amount of badguys that take over my fellow ships, my first choice is not to try to charge in willy nilly, unlike my ships, who are under the belief that feeding one's self to the undying mushy void never get's old. Also, if I cannot trust my ships to not kill themselves, I find it hard to try to use them. I got to the point I preferred to encounter forerunners because then I could take over and not loose as many ships.

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE the UNSC unit's, I just find the "Can't give the 'engage targets' command for people I cannot command efficently" a bit annoying.

3. I hate to be nit-picky about this, but could you get the communities help on the voice acting? the Phoenix (Colony) made me want to become a mass-murderer. Cheerful? Good. Sweet enough for a diabetic Coma? not so good.

the Orion was a 'russian' tsundere hard-*** that needed original lines. Yes, 'Wake me when you need me' is a good line; It's just that MC doesn't utter that for another... 10 years?

And I was glad (GLAD I SAY!) when the Thermopylae got infected, the stuck up, holier-then-thou (Though they ALL were a little stuck up...) prick. I just think there is more to a commander then "I hate my superiors". I also found it a bit strange to hear the same three/ four voice actors doing the unit's.

I'd put this on the forum, but I can't get on...

I like the Drop pod influence coupled with Anchor 9 in the main attached structure.

Love the pic. But the only problem now is that I'm remembering the gamecube game. Was anyone else unable to get "Sphongle"(I don't remember how it was spelled...) To work?

*Looking at the Sausagefest*

...
O.k., back in the pant's you go.
*But!*
Shhh... Later.

... Pants off dance off?

What about mushrooms? Can we bribe the Mod team with some?

Is there anything that plucky little thermo-nuclear explosive devise CAN'T take care of?

Inside the Matrix.

How long do you have to last? Oh, and I've forgotten, will this work with LB?

That's good. I always thought that the French 'Defensive Cannon' was a bit on the short side for range. Though I must confess to using the old Cannon/ generator trick in the last allied mission on earth...

Maybe having a true Cannon with lower firing rate and accuracy, but higher range? Also maybe work it so that it's sight is smaller then it's firing range, more around it's minimum firing distance? Unless that would be too hard to work around, in which case, forget I said it.

Good, because I want having a ridiculously defended base to MEAN something. BTW, and Arty defensive structures?

I was wondering...

Would it be possible to make a level that you had to hold off the enemy for a period of time? The SURVIVAL2 map mod showed it was possible with the Territory Expansion mod. Does this mod support TE2.02?

Because I would pay cash money for that.

Monty Pythons Flying Circus.

Well I can see where he's coming from. Cortana is a more 'powerful' A.I. then Serina.

Though I cannot see what your mentioning of a overpriced Ground force has to do with anything...

If anything; According to the fluff- Serina shouldn't REALLY be there either, but forget that; IT A GAME.

ARTISTIC LICENCE, MUTHA FUKA, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

YEAH, CANADA!

WHERE ARE OUR FLEET PICS, MAN!
(Insert Snobby 14 year old whiny voice here.)

Well, I don't know how well I could Do the rest, but I might be able to help with the UI design. (Though GIMP can't do EVERYTHING PS can...)

I was thinking that the UNSC would be 'Edgy' Blues and blue-whites with reds (Bad guys) and yellows thrown in the 'Battle Data'. Very... Spartan. (Heh, SPARTAN...)

The Covenant would be PURPLE. LOTS AND LOTS OF FLOWING PURPLE. But also have like problems with the purposefully put into the UI (I.E. Artifacts, 'Holes' in the image. But subtle. ) To Bring home the fact that while they are imitative, the Covenant is in fact NOT Inventive.

Forerunner: Like the Covenant, but without the UI errors and more White, like 'Almost Hard to see' White. The Forerunners seem to love hard light.

The Flood: Sort of like a combination of the UNSC and the Covenant. Hardish edges with some flowing script, but green with almost overly distracting UI errors. The flood, while powerful, does not know the term 'preventive maintenance'.

But that's just my thoughts.

Yes, I concur.

Especially with the A-10A...

And those Sexy Analogue Dials....
...
Sorry, I like the A-10 series. It's a badass...

Well I don't think that is too grand of an option...

It would give the game a bit of a 'Aces High' feel that I absolutely adore. (If it wasn't for the $15.99 USD a month, I'd be playing that...)

Although in that case, Might a request be made to include a helicopter?

Or a LAV?

Oh god, this dickbag is most likely from Tampa, where I live.

WHY MUST THERE BE SO MUCH GOD DAMNED STUPID IN THE WORLD?!?!

Considering they are the toughest bastards the UNSC have got in the fluff, I don't blame you.

Though if we go by looks, the Destroyers like the 'Forward unto dawn' are pretty damn sexy to me. They just seem like Space faring war vessels to me.

y is this is in the draw in the sand with a stick?

so this will pretty much add a touch of forge mode and firefight to halo CE?

Can't WAIT to get a download of THIS!!!

I would like to see more NPC's on the maps, like the GLA on the 4 island one. Maybe have one map with 'six' starts, but only three available to players, the others taken by U.S, China, and GLA respectively.

And also more maps with more available players!!! (If possible...)

Sounds deliciously realistic. I really want to play this game! I can't wait untill this is finished!!!

The antique comp. I am forced to use won't support the web site. Anywhere else I can find to download what looks to be an awsome game?
