  Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12)One thing that's been on my mind a few times actually is the weapon and actors descriptions. This is merely my opinion mind you, so do with it what you like. It's kind've cool to have quotes for the actors, especially the spartans cause there's not too much difference between them besides personality, but for the weapons it doesn't really do it for me. One thing I find annoying in other mods is not having proper descriptions for weapons because if it's new to me I don't know what I'll be getting. This hasn't bothered me here, and most people might know the weapons because they are from somewhere else, not brand new, but all the same I'd prefer to have an actual basic weapon decription than a somewhat random quote. Just my thoughts so do with it what you will

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) I see what you mean. I have thought about this actually (I mainly believed that the people who download this mod were at least familiar with Halo) and there is a large enough possibility that there are people who download it cause its cool, just-cause, or for some other reason, without knowing that much about halo.
I'll just add a weapon description with the quotes in case there are extra things to them. To those who wonder about my quote choices, they represent the people who use them often (Carter <-> DMR, Emile <-> Shotgun, Kat and Keyes <-> Magnum, ex.), or the weapon (Crazy people -> 2 SMGs, Reliable -> AR, Jun's description -> Sniper, ex.). Its one or the other, usually. Last edited by AndyChanglee on Sat Oct 13, 2012 10:21 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) MetallKaos wrote: I love this mod! it is very nicely made and I love almost everything about it. I have a few things I would personally fix though. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Sniper rifle doesn't reveal as much fog as it should. It reveals a bit less than the DMR, and the crosshair even moves over the fog, and doesn't reveal it. While the sniper is very powerful, it's range is limited and it stunts it's usefulness as an actual sniper weapon. The BR is also a little lackluster, and doesn't represent the usefulness of the weapon in the Halo series. The time between bullets in bursts, or the "spread" feels a bit long. I understand this might be hard to create with your slow computer, but hopefully you take this as friendly and constructive criticism. The power also seems a bit lacking on it, and armored targets laugh at this weapon heartily. I would love to see a totally complete version of this mod, and hopefully you will take my advice to heart. Thanks again for the good work. I somehow missed this post. Thanks for feedback, i'm not sure why the fog revealing for the sniper is like that, there might be a cap to how far you can reveal things (and it actually reveals a tad bit more than the DMR). The sniper rifle is more powerful as a support weapon however, so having another actor scout ahead with a sniper watching over him would be a cool+safe way to deal with this problem. I nerfed the BR a bit too much  I need to find the butter zone for the thing, cause it can either be really good, or really suckish.Thank you for your support! I changed a bunch of weapon and actor shiz in this release, so anything weird you guys notice would be great! |

I changed a bunch of weapon and actor shiz in this release, so anything weird you guys notice would be great! Thank you for the reply, after looking back at it, I was sort of wondering if I was wrong about the fog reveal comparison with the DMR. I also forgot that I installed a smarter AI mod at the same time and that is more than likely the reason why I feel the fog reveal wasn't long enough. The fog reveal is a bit strange but it isn't a huge concern. As a Halo 3 MLG player (local) I was crushed by the weaksauce BR, but I use it anyway. I will have to try your new release, because this mod is seriously awesome. |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) I don't believe the BR changed much in the latest update, most of the improvements went into actors and deployment.
What kind of targets do you aim at with in my mod? If its browncoats, i'll get to testing and adjusting my weapons again. |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) Urgh, my gmail negated to tell me of replies >.>
I'm looking forward to the update, sounding amazing! I have no idea how to rebalance the BR, cos it was way to OP earlier but I have to agree now it's kinda shitty :C I think the spartan II's should cost more, and be really...really powerful. As it is in the storyline they are the best of the best, the fastest, strongest, most endurable the UNSC had to offer. They should replicate that in the mod, but also according to storyline they should be incredibly expensive (Why ONI didn't fund for a lot of SII's in the first place) |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) Doh, hadn't thought about that
 uhh, I made them cost 250 and they are overall stronger, however being a tank on legs isn't what i'm aiming for, but rather a spearhead for an attacking force, providing and taking enough hits to get through a battle. a dude that costs 500 and is that much more powerful just ruins gameplay in my opinion. 1v5 against dummy dreadnoughts would be laughable and any health lost would regenerate. Might put things on par with some other mods, but everything would be a cake walk. They'll be strong, don't worry. |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) If not, you can always mod them to your liking.

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) Yeah, of course, but if the community doesn't like it, really nobody likes it. So I bend certain things with the feedback I get and I end up with something the community likes, and something that I still like too!
Edit: I accidently made Medics. Guess you can expect that in the next update! |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) So quiet? Hard at work
 Looking forward to next update! I think the spartans should be a very fine balance between extremely powerful and OP, they should be right at the tip of it. Do you need the help doing the sprites? |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) lol, oddly I do more work on CC during free periods at school than at home
The sprites are going great, if I need help I might ask. I'll make the Spartan IIs about that powerful, sounds right for the awesomest soldiers ever. Master Chief will be slightly OP I guess, but heck hes Master Chief. He'll also cost 300. However thats for the next next update, I want to pull from great screenshots of Halo 4 for Master Chief, which will distinguish him from Spartan II sprites. Anything you guys really would like to see in the next update? Heres what I plan to do/made for the next update: Flamethrower (with overheat script that I will also use for Covenant) Medics Spartan IIs Pelicans Any noted weapon balance issues and a Plasma pistol for the covenant (won't release it lol, but its a start to the faction) |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) Hmm. What about an specific UNSC brain? Like an ONI officer or something. Maybe that funky grenade pistol in the trialer for halo4

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) I will include all human Halo 4 weapons when Halo 4 comes out, so I get a feel for their specs without having to analyze weapon trailers and screenshots.
I think its more likely that I include brains in the next next update cause I recently became confuzzled with who to make the brain unit as. I just read some Halo books, and the way Halo 4's plot will turn out is a lot more of a mystery to me now, and i'm not sure whos in charge anymore. From what i've read in recent books, Halsey isn't really anymore, but I have no clue. |

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) You could always use some generic field officer.

Re: The UNSC, a HALO mod! (WIP) v3.1 (Updated 9/30/12) The brain could just be a generic officer or ODST squad leader or whatever. If I could just make a random ODST/Trooper my brain, I would.
Really looking forward to Medics/Pelicans/Flamethrowers, I pretty much just use your guys in campaign and no-one else, so I check this thread multiple times a day for an update  |
