Don't mean to be a ball buster, but, what about plasma wave cannons? The subverters, skirmishers, navigators, and overseers all have plasma pulse guns.

NVM  

Alpha, yay!!

Well juggarnaut10 hasn't joined yet but you guys are going to get it tomorrow. Just need to upload.

BTW did you see dawn of victory's april fools day post?

Those bastards

its called a wave cannon for a reason.  the advent plasma is what its suppose to look like.

canada this is a dumb question but what version is it for?

There's not much to see really. To my knowledge all we have is the Phoenix-Class, Marathon-Class, Halcyon-Class, FFG-Class Frigate, Destroyer, SMAC platform, and Covenant Assault Carrier. I know that does seem like a lot, if you comapre to the large amount of ship and structure types in Sins it's relatively minor. Plus, the alpha is for team members to be on the same page while developing the mod. Don't worry, we should have the Beta out soon enough. If you really can't wait, get some modelling, texturing, or coding skills and you can join the team. We'd really appreciate the help.

WHEN WE DECIDE WE HAVE ENOUGH WORK DONE

Seriously, no mod can ever put a date on releases and if they do, it almost always has to be moved. I'll say this: we'll have the beta out within 5 years is we don't lose interest . I'm not getting mad at you, just stating a simple fact about mods for the umpteen-millionth time.

Ok, here's a little mini-update. I took screens of Halo characters and Photoshopped them to make player portraits!

Oh, and as for the Alpha, you don't want it. It doesn't play very well (duh, it's an aplha).

Portraits look good. You sould try to get some from Halo Wars too.

The Master Chief never commanded ships. He was always on the ground. In fact, he disliked warships because he had very little control.

I watched ALL of the Halo Wars cutscenes and they were orgasmic, to say the least. I never thought Spartans could kick so much Honor Guard ass. I did like the pulse lasers and the covenant destroyers. Nota Bene: the UNSC ships, or at least Phoenix-class ships, have cannons, much like SOSE autocannons, for ship-to-ship combat. I think we can salvage most of the necessary weapon sound and visual FX from SOSE.

I've been thinking of ways to incorporate Pelicans into the mod and I've come up with this: the UNSC would never bombard an inhabitable planet with nuclear warheads or any other weapons. They would send down an invasion force, whether it be by means of Pelicans, Albatrosses, or exo-atmospheric insertion by means of HEVs. This would make for excellent research: Regimental Increase: Level 1:5%"damage" boost/Level 2: 10%boost, Albatrosses: Level 1:15% boost/ Level 2:20% boost, ODSTs: Level 1:25% boost

We could also do this with the Covenant. It would be unrealistic to think that they could re-inhabit a planet that they just bombarded with super-heated plasma. Firstly, all the ground would be glass. Secondly, the oceans and atmosphere would have boiled away. And still, the Covenant invaded a planet and exterminated its population before they glassed it. The Covenant have dropships and drop pods too. Why shouldn't they do the same as the UNSC[in the mod]?

I hate to have this repeated, but, we need a new thread up.

EDIT: Do a Brute chieftan for a portrait, too. Maybe Rtas Vaudum?

anyone enjoy my story?

in a 3 frigates against 3 CCS fight the UNSC get creamed generally, although if your smart you can win and cool icons

hey canada remember the balance technigue that i gave you awhile back.  lower all values to single or lower double digits and it works exactly the way that halo is suppost to.  either way ill be working on that whether anyone wants it or not at least on my copy.  im still trying to update to 1.6 and entrenchment with no luck.
