This looks very very good. My only thing to say beside great is that this might be to high poly? Just asking, I'm no modeler but it sure looks HQ.

The characters are much higher poly than the stock models. That is true. Most of the detail is in the heads and faces though and the weapons there are only about 25 ploys each. The count on the troops themselves is around 1000...which is almost twice the stock count (and is the count of the unit models in Halo CE, btw).

Love the fact you want with 3's marines, personally my favorite though I do have to disagree with your opinion of ODST and Halo Wars. But regardless fantastic job overall so far.

Do the weapons have different rates of fire? Like, will the battle rifle fire in three-shot bursts and the assault rifle in fully automatic?

AR is full-auto. It fires in a sustained burst for about 2 seconds (about 6 rounds per second).

The BR fires one round every half-second. The reason it doesn't fire in bursts of three is to preserve accuracy. The sound effect is still a three-burst sound though and the actual projectile model is so small that not seeing three little bursts doesn't make too much of a difference. There is an illusion of three shots.

Only thing I never liked about the 2 or 3 marines was that they lacked the right eye green HUD which I loved so much from CE :D

Nice to see them added ^^

Then it’s a good thing you brought them back, its also nice to see that not every one of them has it so it then looks like it is either only issues to one man in the team like a comm operator or its having it by choice which only a few marines actually enjoy using it :D

Description

I really wanted these marines to share qualities from all Halo games so I took a few slight liberties and added aesthetics from past Halo games to the overall 'Halo 3' look. Basic squads are armed with Battle Rifles and Assault Rifles. Tactical marine squads will be armed with Rockets and other counter-specific weapons.
