It's been too long since the last update...so here ya go! The Banshee in action! I apologize for the delay in updates but I've been SUPER busy at work. Give feedback, as always.
very organic looking just like it should be great work
Thanks!
NOO..!! Run Marines Run!
>:} Indeed! That banshee bomb doesn't have a high rate of fire but it shreds infantry when it hits them.
Im curious as to how the banshees attack, are there sloped attack runs and then a peel off to make another or otherwise?
Very nice work.
noe dead grunts noe thats mean i'm going 2 kill those marines
Long live Banshees!
Somebody got blowd up! When you get the Hornet done you should show the two in battle.
Ok :) Will do that when I get it done.
the model looks great. the texture should be a little more shiny and purpley IMO. otherwise its great. i like the contrails behind it
Others have said the same. I think it's the angle and skybox that make it look matte. It actually uses the same shader as the other Covenant units though (the reflective one).
ok, makes sense. looks good
Thanks everyone :)
wow this looks even better than the original HALO RTS :)
Why thank you :) I'm glad you like it.
Is the green stuff from a fuel rod the banshee shot?
Yes. It's an explosion from the banshee bomb.
I dunno if its cause the Banshee is closer to the camera or what but the scale just feels off to me.
It's mostly a perspective thing. I will admit though that the unit is a tad big. This is really an early screen though...I literally just slapped the model onto the Snowspeeder code and changed the faction so I could take a quick screen (and assigned new projectiles, obviously).
Of course. Looks like a CE model Banshee too, am I right or is like you said and its just an early screen?
No, this is the CE and later Banshee. The Reach variant was phased out by this time.
Aww, the reach variant was so much sleeker.. =(
The Reach variant had stupid wings though...
Yeah...it looks like a spider when it goes straight down.
DO INFANTRY SHOOT UP?
I'm unsure what you mean. Are you trying to ask if they take heroine or if they explode? lol
once again my guass cannon is primed and ready to fire
Excellent
Oh, and I think you mean fuel rod this time ;)
ohhhhhh yeahhhhh!
You realize now you have to counter it with Falcons or Hornets, don't you? If one side has airborne epicness, the other must follow suit.
You should realize that I am ALWAYS 100 steps ahead and have already planned that all out ;) lol. Fear not my new-found fan, there will be air combat aplenty.
This is by far shaping up to be the best Halo mod ever made and I am making a Halo mod for Fallout 3 so you know I'm impressed if I'm willing to say this is better then my own Halo mod.
Wow. Thanks a lot :)
hey far do yu think you can get ground nits to look up at passing by Banshees?
Ground units not nits btw. XD
For now, they do not. They can still shoot at them but there is no anim. for it or anything. I've been toying with the idea of adding turret bones and then skinning them to the infantry but the main problem with that is that I don't know if animations would then work...and I'd rather have my infantry walking than aiming up.
meh
DUDE! I just noticed the spark trail from the Fuel Rod! That's awesome!
Oh, haha. Yeah, that's in there...right in the corner of the explosion.
Looks like it's straight from the Xbox!
Halo CE style :D WAHOOOO!!!!
