First off, I apologize in advance for this poorly worded update...there are reasons why I'm a programmer and have nothing to do with PR.

Over the past few months, we here at BLS have gotten MANY things done including some wonderful models and textures made by Tzarro and Myles respectively.

This amazing model was made by our other modeler, of whom you probably haven't heard of yet unless you frequent the forums, Tzarro, who's concentrating on modeling the Covenant race while Velo focuses on the UNSC

The CCS took Tzarro a while, but i'm sure you'll all agree, it's a fabulous model, especially as it was his first (!)

Next, we have the Covenant's standard space/atmospheric interceptor, the Seraph, armed with quad repeating plasma cannons and enough agility to make a monkey blush, they dominate space in vast swarms

As you can see, the textured seraph is already in game and I'm just tweaking around with the weapon script to get appropriate weapons on the Seraph! (Also, the only reason it looks so big is the perspective. Trust me.)

And our last model, which has actually been around since before Christmas, the UNSC Orbital Defence Platform, or Super MAC station, anchored in orbit around key worlds, these stations use scaled up Magnetic accelerators like the majority of the UNSC's military fleet, how ever due to the scale of the cannon they have the ability to destroy even cruisers in a single hit, the only downside being their vunerability to strike craft or other small vessels

And possibly the most special part of the update, we announce the Flood as a playable faction in Homefront, using weakened and damaged ships en masse to swarm enemy formations, the Flood will be able to literally consume ships into massive behemoths

Flood Frigate

I've hoped you enjoyed this poorly worded update, though I hope the pictures make up for it (as well as the flood). Also, one last thing, a new promotional poster featuring the new CCS and Seraph locking horns with the UNSC's best.

(Thrown together by Velo :P)

Wort wort wort!
