This is awesome, but what it doesn't show you is the Covenant Assault Carrier on the right dropping more troops ;)

very nice...are you planning on replacing the turbolaser towers with a halo equivalent, or simply removing them entirely? only reason i ask is because i can see one in the back

Thanks :) All in due time... Structures are probably the last modification I will do for ground battles. Turbolasers will probably be replaced by Halo equivalents...the Anti-Air cannons for each race (as seen in H3 and Reach).

I love it :D Will you (please) make the giant plasma gun from first Halo 2 E3 trailer (New Mombasa)buildable? It would be cool.

Nice job, this looks like what Halo Wars should have been. Just one question though: wouldn't the bombs dropped by the Longsword be traveling at the same rate as the aircraft? I'm not very good at physics though, so I could be wrong.

Thanks :) As for your physics question... Yes, the bombs would initially have the same velocity as the aircraft. This little issue isn't really something that I plan on fixing though. The physics limitations in this game engine are frustrating and I don't feel like trying to figure them out anymore :) lol

yes, they would be seeing as the bombs are actually traveling the same velocity as the longswords at the time of release. Air resistance will slow the bomb's forward momentum some, but unless the aircraft are at a high enough altitude, the shockwave produced from the bomb when it detonates will still affect the craft.

This illustration might help a bit:

Indeed :) Though I never said the bombs didn't release subatomic particles that would rip apart the very fabric of time and space. Maybe each bomb is constructed with it's own Flux Capacitor...you never know :)

Do you have any plans to change the turbo laser models? Replace it with something a little forerunner looking perhaps, since they are neutral structures? o.o

EDIT: I need to learn to read posts better.. Sorry xD

Ah, okay. I was just wondering because I wouldn't have minded. Would have made you a little wary about using it near friendly forces.

Kind of like this: Youtube.com

Oh, well. Say, are you going to do orbital bombardment?

Description

They are finished and have actual bomb projectiles :) There are contrails off the wing tips as well (you can see them to the left side of the pic) but the delay on their appearance is too long so they are way behind the actual ship when it flies over head. An easy fix though. You get the idea, at least.
