Halo MOD?

Halo MOD?

from Sins Forums
Ok so I am just throwing this idea out there because I am a Halo fanatic and I think that this game could easily incorporate the Halo universe into it. I am not a very good designer but I can provide support and more ideas. There are already two races that could easily be changed into the Humans and the Covenant( TEC and Advent). All we would have to do would be to change ships some and add  gauss guns to most TEC Cap ships. I know this might take a long time but if it means that we will finally have a Halo space combat game then it will be well worth it.

As awesome of ideas as they may be, only a quater to a half of them (thats if i get an expert coder, mind you) are actually feasible. The Tech tree sounds do-able though but don't even get me started on that thogh  :p Can you guys post your ideas on our forums instead? forums

Hey dude tht tech tree is do-able.. wat is it u dont find possible???
I mean iv seen whole battle cruisers being made iv seen MAC cannon rounds..
v not make ODST drop pods they will look like tiny projectiles falling to the ground..
and small slow dorships is no problem.. Depending on how long the capital ship was bombarding the planet the number of troops sent which increases the speed of the decrease in population so if the capital ship leaves the troops stop comeing but if the planet population is low enough the planet still gets captured aftr some more time(coz of the remainin troops on the ground)
kind of the same thing applies to Ship boarding..

and dont tell me its to difficult to put an EMP blast on a Nuke coz there is an EMP blast feature on one of the TEC cptl ships.. so its kind of mingling a nuke an it together :P ... mines can just b stagnant nukes suspended in space like an invisible structure..

stealth cruiser idea i dont think will b tht difficult if u ask around iv seen it in mods for othr games where characters get an invisiblity option on them...

i know im pushing my luck with all these idea's but im a die hard halo fan and im amoung those ppl dejected by Bunji's Xbox360 only policy :SNIFF!:

anyway good luck on it....
im sure u can do it if u put a lil thought in it.... v r routing for u to make it gr8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im a big daydreamer, and this is what I thought of.

The foe that the Vasari are fleeing are the covenant. Some UNSC scouts are following the Covenant. Vasari flee like they always have. Advent and TEC get torn by Covenant. UNSC main forces arive. Big war.

Flood spore gets located. It infects ppls and creates small flood army. flood army expands. Arrive at some random halo ring. Ta-da!



I dont suggest we use that. In fact, I suggest against it.

For UNSC, if the SMAC cannon is not the eqivelent of Kostura or Deliverence, the it can have the Nova launcher. The name speaks for its self.

Back to the SMAC cannon. I found some pictures.

As for a story, I was thinking somewhere when things started going in a downward spiral for the UNSC, but way before the fall of Reach. The UNSC tried to increase the amount of ships under their control in order to meet the Covenant with a sufficient task force. Obviously that did not work all that well, but still that is when the story should take place, at the UNSC's height.

dont think thts a feasible story.. Acording to the story it tells how the human race got split up into TEC and Advent but how do u explain UNSC popping up out of the blue????

Nova Bomb launchers? UNSC wins, end of story. Unless Covenant can somehow intercept the Novas before they hit......

high you all i just got SoaSE from my bro as a payback gift for getting him BSG S3
and I'm a halo fan, and i might be willing to give some helpful ideas to the starting(or addition) I'm currently readying every post in this thread, and well im only about 7 pages in, but back to my "helpful" ideas.

OK, first off what era is this mod going to take place?, Holy War UNSC/COV (no engagement between factions), Outer Colonie campaign UNSC/COV (Minor engagement between Factions), Inner Col. campaign UNSC/COV (Major engagement between factions), After the Fall of reach UNSC/COV "back to the wall campaign-UNSC" "The purging of the stars-COV"

Well, TEC used to be the Trade Order, which was created after the fall of the original human empire. The Order's goal was to unify the remnants of humanity's empire through trade, and to find former worlds with humans living on them. The Order never got involved in an individual world's affairs, merely acting as a sort of interstellar confederacy designed to protect the rights of its members, like making a profit and such. However, when they found the Advent's homeworld, they got pissed at what they saw, and exiled them.

The key point in all this is the Order/TEC is the second/third/fourth human empire. There was at least one before it. This is all from the Sins of a Solar Empire manual by the way.

So who says the TEC is the only human shard trying to take over the galaxy? Why not the UNSC or GTVA (see Freespace 2 mod (hopefully coming sometime relatively soon to a mirror near you)).

I see it this way (in a very very imaginative way that is) the TEC are the Humans, Advent are the Covenant and the Vesari are the flood(if the flood had a higher thinking, space flight, and planet dwelling ability.

This is a HALO MOD, not a Battlestar galactica. For now, lets forget about the story and get back to the actual mod.
Purge all thoughts of combining this mod with the actual game story or any other story.

Well this is gonna be incorporated in 7DS and I know DanMan wants to fit in as many races as he can so who knows! But yeah this is definately the wrong place to post that makbar.

No man they were tlkin bout how the UNSC will fit into the Sins story with al the othr stuff. i just added bout the bout the cylons coz i think it will look gr8 with all of them 2gether on the same mod (7DS) Cant wait to use a MAC Cannon on a cylon or Athenian ship :D

For now though, i mean we stick to halo. If we where to start incorparate Battlestar Galactica right now, that would be talking about... 5 or 6 factions. We should stick to Halo for now, and when were almost done we start incorparation. At least on this forum.

It would be WAAAAYYYY to confusing for me =)


And when I told one of my friends about this game, he says "Thats dorky".

I tell him about the halo mod, and he says "Where can i buy that??"
Halo's awsome  :LOL:

So who's the main attraction of the novel? The Chief or those poor bastards stranded inside the Forerunner Dyson sphere?

Dude i think the 6th book is "Contact Harvest".. its been out for along time.. its really old news but i still cant get my hands on it :SNIFF!: Its bout the first planet tht fell to the Covenant, the main character is Sargent Johnson who is a young marine in this... I think this is the part where they say tht he used all those Plasma grenades thet messed up his brain waves... Really want to read tht book :D
Reply #672 from Sins Forums Top
Uh Makbar I know that, I own Contact Harvest, its very good. And no, the flood don't use brain waves to infest. They force a match with the host's nervous system, meaning they take over their nerve impulses. Boren's Syndrome completely messes them up, causing the Flood to be unable to match and control them.
Reply #673 from Sins Forums Top
Yeh yeh nervous system / brain waves im not a bio student :P
anyway isnt tht the 6th book??? did u buy the book or download it??
Reply #674 from Sins Forums Top
I bought it at a Barnes and Noble. it was like $10.00. Way overpriced. Same size as Ghosts of Onyx, and has Johnson with a BR55 in his hand and smoking a Sweet William in the middle of a wheat field on the cover. Harvest is after all the number one food producing colony in the UNSC.

Isnt there only five books so far, harvest being the 5th?

fall of reach
flood
first strike
onyx
