The mod is asymetricly balanced. While the UNSC is differant then the covies in every way, it's balanced so that both factions have an equal chance of winning the overall game. It's the way all games should be made.
Nice MAC, seems a little too pink though.
Looks good, only suggestions I'd make is make the smoke trails darker, they seem waaaay too white. Also, try to remove, or atleast shrink, the engine glow at the back of the cruisers. Other then that, keep up the good work.
[quote who="Dinoff" reply="24" id="1897782"] good idea but its not possible.[/quote] Not sure about the making another ship part, but the rest is perfecly doable. Cap ships allready spread culture themselves, so all you'd have to do is give this flood ship that ability. Also you'd just have to modify some code, I'm thinkin pirate, that has it automaticly go system to system. Probably would take some doing, but it seems doable.

[quote who="NeroToxin" reply="5" id="1895498"]I think we should stick on the normal course we were taking. Dont bring up shield arguements. After demo when you get the response from the people. Then you can fix it. If its to hard to fight with no shields then maybe lower the power of them. (not promoting any Shield arguement that was like 10 pages long lol)[/quote] I suspect that people will have a 50/50 chance of either loving the UNSC or hating them. Love them because
[quote="mr.WHO"]About that canon: "UNSC beign outnumgered and outgunned" Why not to put the action of the mod AFTER Halo 3? props: - Covenant split into many factions (so UNSC would have to fight only with Brutes, while Elites would be allies or neutral) - UNSC could put new technologies, weapons and ships into combat - Covenant Races in that period would be overall less ahead of UNSC coz they would have to wage civil wa

[quote who="Camcan13" reply="3" id="1889307"]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

There is no cooler way to win a war than by vaporizing your enemies with a massive supernova.[/quote] That's awsome, I like Novas too. But they wont work, so just drop it.

[quote who="All_Under_Heaven" reply="12" id="1887069"]nova's are not uncanon colt they are mentioned in two canon books[/quote] I said using them in war is uncanon. NEVER has it said the novas were ever used in the fighting against the covenant, infact, the only time a nova is ever mentioned was when the covies accidently detonated one. So yes, using them in a war setting, in this mod, would break canon in so many ways. And Viper, that wont balance it out. The p
[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="6" id="1886756"]UNSC with shields isn't just bad for gameplay, its uncanon as well. NOVA bombs however, are very necessary to Halo. Considering that the UNSC is consistently ounumbered and outgunned, they need SOMETHING besides massive spamming to turn the tide of the war. And this is it.[/quote] The nova as a weapon of war is not only uncanon to Halo, but bad for gameplay. Same as shields. As Maico said only one No
While I do agree it'd be cool, you'll all letting that blind you to gameplay. A nova would NOT contribute to gameplay, it would only harm it. And if theres one thing that remains constant within the modding group, one thing that comes before all else. It's gameplay. So the the nova should not, and more then likely, will not be added. I mean Heaven gave the most extensive limitations but lets go through those and see how little they'd actually do. lvl 8 research
[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="23" id="1885015"]Actually, several Nova bombs were created. A few of them were on Reach when the Covies invaded, and they took at least one with them when they left. One of them obliterated an entire Sangheili fleet at Joyous Exultation, and damn near made the planet uninhabitable.[/quote] I just looked it up and it specificly said "a handfull" of these, so I'm guessing anywhere from 5-10, tops. That's another reason it shouldn't be made, to
I don't think Nova bombs should be added. I mean if they were added they would be nothing like what they're suppose to be. Nova bombs can destroy planets, but in Sins you can't destroy planets. So all it'd do is wipe out everything in the solar system, which could be accomplished with several well-placed Shiva's. Not to mention there was only one Nova bomb ever created, as far as I know. And ontop of that, what would the delivery system be? Do you send a ship on a kamakazi run? How do you ins

[quote]well thats an update dont really care wat yall wont u get what we give you plus know one wants black ships so why would we show screenshots of unfinished black ships end of story[/quote] I, personally, am not saying you should. I'm just saying that gamers in general allways want visuals, so for Heaven to comment on that was unnecessary, since it's just a fact of life. Humans like to SEE things.
[quote]Screenshots please?it's always something more.....still thanks[/quote] Most gamers really couldn't care less about a features list, unless it's really long. We want visual aids, vids, screens, anything. To expect any less is to be dillusional.
