Our representation of Halo's iconic space combat in the Homeworld 2 engine, which puts the player in command of some of the most powerful weapons fielded by the UNSC and Covenant and to provide a balanced and competitive experience.
I'm Cortana and I approve of this image-set.
First of all, credit to Nathanius and Siber, of Star Trek: Continuum and Homeworld:@ Mod teams respectively, you two are gods amongst mortals.
Thanks to their excellent code and some changes and additions, I give you a very early preview of 'Firefight' in space! This will be in the beta release, and while fighting against the Vaygr or Hiigarans is a bit laughable at first, you won't laugh with twenty battlecruisers staring down your gob!
Check my profile for more images of the fight, and a closer look at some of the new FX in the mod.
Note the map pictured WILL NOT be in the beta release, it's just there to demonstrate.
UNSC Captain: /sigh Always pulling Hiigarans' butts out of the fire...
UNSC weapons officer: Uh... sir, we're supposed to be killing them Not having a tea party w/ them, aren't we sir?
Bridge Cadet: Well actually in the UNSC Manual, under, Dealing with Alien Species with Space-Faring Craft: in chapter 4, section III, subsection b. that... Any alien species that, is not the Covenant, is deemed a possible ally and as such should be accepted to tea, but also setup for assassinations should the need arise. Sir.
Captain: *Facepalm, Picard style
*Imperial March*
Humanity First, damn the rest!
I wonder why one or two of the ships are colored "reddish"
Lighting?
No, it's a glitch I get sometimes ,too.
Related to the shaders, I believe, after a certain explosive effect goes off, it tints things at a certain distance red.
how the hell do i download this thing!
