That's awsome, I like Novas too. But they wont work, so just drop it. Everyone thought shields were a cool idea, but look how that turned out. This is the EXACT same thing. A bunch of nova fanboys argueing for it because it's cool, with absolutely no consideration for how it'd affect the mod. I really wish Canada would just come in here and tell you guys no, as argueing this point is getting old.

dear friends sorry i havent been on in a while but we had a littile storm called IKE come throught dont have power and its been almost 2 weeks since it hit but once the power comes back on ill be back on

people, people. The only thing that needs to be canon are the ships and their weapons. Having a game designed on the entire war will make it nearly impossible for the UNSC to win. The covanant out gun, out number, and out manuver the UNSC and the only way to win is having a 3 to 1 ship ratio to the covenant because that is what it normally takes for the UNSC to acctually win a fight and for and thats just really bad to put in the game cause of the following issues:

1)If the UNSC's entire ship count is less than the Covenant's in the halo universe, than how is one able to beat obviously superior ships with less ships then your opponent.

2)The UNSC was lossing the war, how could one possibly hold on to a planet when the UNSC was only able to save one planet which took 5 years to take back

3)The UNSC has never found a covenant planet, muchless a homeworld

4)I dont know what to put for four but im not done bitching

I support having the mod come with several maps deigned to reinact some of the mayjor battles such as the ones over Reach, Earth, and Harvest. It remains canon and allows room for people to use either team as they wish.

PS: You think that my artwork from earlier and all my future stuff be put on the Sins of the Prophets website. Just label the one from earlier as origional sketch and the colored one as colored

PSS: Nova issue: Since the UNSC im assuming will be much more tactical, just have the weaker version of it (I know there one somewhere in the books, just to lazy to read them for the 3rd time) to take care of the "covie ships pwn all thing" since they are just ownage over UNSC ships

PSSS: I want a cookie

cam they have found covenant planets before the first two Spartan III actions were on two covie planets

The mod is sticking as close to Halo canon as possible, but obviously some things will need to change. In the mod the UNSC will almost allways outnumber the covies, their ships are cheaper and faster to build then the covies. Because of this the UNSC has just as much a chance to win as the covies, so it's not as one-sided as it was in Halo. And the humans HAVE found Covie worlds as Heavan has stated.

A weaker version of the Nova would be called the Shiva, and that's allready on almost every single human ship. The mod is perfectly balanced without the need for super weapons, ESPECIALLY super weapons which simply are not possible.

Hey dude! I wondered where you were!

any idea when the UNSC demo will be out, Nova or not?

I had a checklist a while back, the only things remaining are:

-fix the frigate model glitch

-put the new halcyon in

BTW I just merged in NeroToxins work but I keep getting minidumps. Anyone know how to make them readable? I know I've read how to do it somewhere on these forums...

=D

i think we can contact bungie at this email address

[email protected] <[email protected]>

Why would we want to contact Bungie again?

to keep canon

Hey guys... i dont think u shud hav a prob with bungie coz its not a commercial and its a free mod...

But it wud b gr8 if u do coz they might do the same thing they did with halo- "blue Vs red" series and help out the makin, which wud b totally awesome[:)] i guess u cud say this is gr8 publicity for halo... a space version of Halo wars

hey does anyone hav an ETA for this MOD???

We can just play the games n read the books to stay canon, we don't have to bother Bungie.

Dont email Bungie. Ive tried a million times lol. They never respond and when they do they dont EVER EVER give you the correct information. Its like when you email a company about a product. and they say our product is blah blah. (not answering your question) blah . Never email bungie they dont care about the people they care about the money and the game .

1) Canadaman is gonna stick to the books

2) NO RvB even though im a fan it has no place in this mod

3) the UNSC demo will be out when it's finished

actually bungie has some pretty decent people its just like anyone else they dont feel like responding to everything.

Just cuz they don't respond doesn't mean they're money grubbing assholes, it simply means they don't care. I mean you wouldn'y respond to every single email when you got thousands a day. Especially about something as retarded as "sticking to canon" since any info they could give, is allready available in other Halo media.

true, true

might also be they probly have a very long, long, long list of emails everyday

Unfortunately, 80-90 of that is simply "I can has recon?!?"

Hey when ur releasin this mod.. will there b mines in the game play?? coz some of the UNSC ships in halo carried nuclear mines.. i feel like tht wud b awesome, and tactical things like tht cud make up for the UNSC's lack of sheilds...
