Halo:Sins of the Prophets mod {MOD for SoaSE}

I could be wrong, but there is already a halo mod that has mad considerable progress. why not get with them and release faster than individually?

Well, this is my mod but I guess someone got fed up with waiting for me to put up a new post.

Anyways it would be better to ask me about it but thanks for making the new post!

EDIT: Ignore this post.

Awsome... thanks Overloard

exciting, isn't it?

lol. You should probably create your own topic, since afaik, your the halo mod leader. This way you won't have this to deal with, and you can update us easily.

No need for 3 halo threads, this is one still about his mod so it really doesn't matter WHO posts it. The only advantage of Canada posting would mean he could edit the main post, but that isn't exactly needed. So let's just use this.

Btw Adama, I haven't heard of another Halo mod for Sins, let alone one further along. The only other Halo mods I know of are for EAW, and Homeworld. So yeah...... unless Canada wants to ditch Sins, kinda hard to "work with them". Allthough from what I've read the EAW mod is helping with models n skins, I think.

No i think that Adama thought that my mod and my moddb page were two different mods. And yeah there are only two other games that people are currently making halo mods for.

Ey no problem, nice to see that this mod has begun construction it's only a matter of time

Thank you! Now give me some Karma!   just kidding.

If you want a fast paced-game, make ships cheap, with overpowered weapons and low shields and low hull (so they explode right away)

Well there won't really be any gameplay changes in the first beta (mostly just new models for the new sides) but later on it's gonna get *intense*

is ti out yet? I'm confused...

also, how is the gameplay modding going to work? Halo space combat and Sins space combat use entirely different methods of killing: i.e. UNSC ships have nukes, no lasers, point defense (every single one, there is no one "flak frigate"), MAC cannons (again, all have at least one, strength varies per size of ship), and most ships have a complement of fighters, UNSC doesn't use ship shielding, and each ship has limited missiles. In addition, only the covenant use planetary bombardment. Since the UNSC hasn't found a covenant world which isn't a factory, they have only sent strike teams to take back the planets over which battles have been fought.
Also, UNSC has limited ammo (downside of projectiles)
Covenant ships - more powerful weapons, actually have shields, stronger armor, better engines, infinite ammo (lasers, plasma), boarding craft, and faster slipspace drives
Speaking of slipspace, how is that going to work? is it going to be a researchable tech, which is slower than phasing, but can go anywhere? one could make a feasible system that way.

The most realistic (to the canon) way to get this all to work is to make the UNSC ships about 1/3 the price of the Covenant ones.


I imagine it is possible to make this all work, and I look forward to the end result, but this mod is going to take a lot of work to pull off.


P.S. I thought that you might appreciate a list of the UNSC ships-of-the-line, as well as the Covie ones: (from Halopedia)

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Frigate
UNSC Destroyer - heavier than a frigate, boasts TWO MAC's, but no fighters
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Destroyer

*The Halcyons were themselves old, retired ships - too costly to build and too strong - the crew would die long before the ship. The famous Pillar of Autumn was refitted, at high expense, to become the devastating cruiser that was crash-landed on Halo.

overlordjebus here, im from Broken Line Studios, the team behind Halo HomeFront, the mod for homeworld 2?

Since we get alot of questions asked whether we are going to move to sins of a solar empire or not, I just want to ask if its ok that we point them in your direction when questioned ^^

you can also contact us on anything you want halo related, or just need help with modeling (just dont ask for our models :P)

contact me via pm,

much love, OJ

I will play that mod if
1.) i can get the mod folder to work, i looked at the mod path and it would load the mods i want *sniff*
2.) One Battle to rule them all....REACH

when do you think this mod will be released? I am quite amazed with this mod too.

Actually the first beta should be coming out sooner rather than later, so just keep waiting a little bit longer...

HAOW MUCHT LONGERR

lol

I saw the Alpha Gameplay Trailer.

 

Cool, except:

1)It looked like the ships were moving back and forth while traveling. Glitch, or lag?

2) The missiles were extremely fast, too fast. Tone the speeed down a bit.

 

Wow didn't expect to see anyone post on THIS thread! I have already addressed the missile issue and the ships were probably just doing that because of lag (it doesn't do that normally ).

if only my sins worked =p

I could be like your ships director or something if you like. PM me or email me at [email protected] if you need help

Sorry Canada man I thought it would be a nice suprise for sins community and you, but if I shouldn't have posted this than I am sorry

umm moddb is no more canada i had kept up there and now i cant

Wait, what?

First off, this is a dead thread so try not to post in those.

And secondly, moddb is definitely still there. I JUST checked there.
