Forge / New maps and reintroduction...

« on: March 22, 2011, 10:59:33 »

Hey their, first off. I haven't been on this in a while AND I havent be on my xbox as often as i usually am. This is for 2 reasons. I have been addicted to WoW... Yes I know... Number 2 is that... [Pause for dramatic effect] I GOT A JOB! Im working graveyard shifts so im either sleeping or working. My play time consists of 7am-1pm the rest is work and sleep. Since NO ONE is on that early I tend to play WoW.

Now on to the meat of my topic...

This hasnt stopped me from creating new maps!!!!
I have a few and I am most excited to announce that the first map the sgp played on (Reactor) has now been remade! I'm only missing weapon spawns as of writing this. I have aptly named it 'Core'. I made the outside of Reactor smaller and the inside larger. The inside area is now only 2 floors and you dont have to worry about falling into the reactor anymore! The teams bases are also 2 floors now.

My next fovorite map is 'Proximity'. I made this map for small ffa games. I dont ever have alot of friends on at the same time so this map still allows a fun, quick game between us without having to much room to lose your opponent(s).

My third map 'Rust Station', is much more open and features long sights and a banshee. It's split down the middle  and connects at either end. One of the ends is a structure and the other is the banshee. The spawning on this map is wierd and is driving me nuts...

These maps are in testing phase to work out some kinks before I announce them as done, but if I can get 8 players together at the same time for Core and Rust Station, and maybe 4-6 for Proximity. It could be fun!

Don't worry, I have like 4 other maps I have created but these are my favorite

Halo Reach General Discussion / Noble 6's Face!

« on: October 24, 2010, 17:25:35 »

You can see it! well only for less than a split second... and you cant really see any features...

Go to lone wolf and die...  and watch the video in theater...

When you kill the white elite and turn to punch the orange one, start to go frame by frame. On your recoil you can see like 2-4 frames of your face (or side of it anyhow).

The elites I speak of are the first 2 in the video...

Go try it and tell me what you think.

Forge / Map: Phobia

« on: October 10, 2010, 16:24:08 »

I have released a map I've been working on. Phobia. It's a close quarters map I've been mulling around in my head for a few days...

It's ready for slayer only at the moment but its in my fileshare. I have the groundwork layed for infection, multiflag, one-flag, assault, king of the hill, and territories...

I am by no means saying that I am going to do all of that anytime soon, but it's on my Itinerary...

Check it out! ...or wait till I'm on and I'll test it with you!

Halo Reach General Discussion / One man, against all odds.

« on: October 02, 2010, 19:20:57 »

Title has been changed...

I have a feeling that there may be a tribute room or at least an easter egg in Long Night of Solace...
After you seige your way through the beach and reach the building, me and Fox (for the challenge today) decided to wait at the beach and kill everything. The enemies keep coming and you can just kill em all day! In any case after a bit of killin I heard the Halo announcer say "One man, against all odds". It gave me an impression that there is more to this level... dont proceed too far into the building as one of the doors lock behind you. but ive noticed 4 or 5 doors that are closed that I want to try to get into... 2 of them especially peek my interest... well time to go exploring!

ODST Fan Fiction / SGP: Dropping into the Breach 'rethink'

« on: November 23, 2009, 03:49:24 »

At the behest of some fellow members I have been asked to rebuild this. Last time around it got... crazy...

This tracks the tales of a squad of ODST marines whose mission, like others at the time, was to drop into a low flying Covenant ship and destroy it from the inside. Their target was the capitol ship that, unknown to the humans, would jump out of the city throwing the hapless squad scattered through the city.

Their mission? Get to a new Covenant ship and destroy that one. Many challenges, friends, surprises, and tough decisions, await the squad.

Time to drop, soldier!

The Rules:
Their are five living soldiers. Our pilot didn't make it. When the Covenant ship jumped, it took him with it and now he is floating through space waiting for his oxygen to run out.

One of the soldiers is myself. Sergeant Kenji Hiamato or Sarge or what ever nickname the squad comes up with. That makes four other soldiers. If there are more than four people that want to play, then I can arrange for the squad to meet up with the police, UNSC, or possibly remaining covenant from the great schism.

I would like you to send me a message with a brief description of your ODST's background, personality, and role in the squad. Background isn't as important I just like to know where you come from... nothing fancy, just enough info so that I can gauge how you might react to certain things. Oh and your rank too, just don't outrank me.  
That leaves you guys to either Corporal, Private, or Recruit.

If you don't want to be an ODST give me the same info, just in regards to squad role, replace that with what his role was in his previous squad. This goes for any allied Covenant as well.

OK here come the more harsh rules. Ask a player first before you control his character in ANY way. Your not invincible, Master Chief is, so act accordingly. Your not 100% accurate- misses will often happen. That's why we have automatic rifles (and yes snipers miss sometimes too). Try to make your targets a little realistic. They won't all lay down and give up their equipment and allow you get near them. The Brutes will probably have scanning equipment similar to the Chief's and Elites'.

Oh a side note... Plasma weapons will KILL you! The Covenant have to get close for them to be accurate though. Go to Halopedia and look up the plasma pistol http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Type-25_Directed_Energy_Pistol. Right now, I'll wait. Done? Good. Every plasma weapon will fu** you up and cause death in one to three shots. That's why the Covenant are winning. The Fuel Gun Rod is pretty much the king of devastation and far outstrips rocket launchers. As a matter of fact all Covenant tech and weapons is far superior to anything the humans have excluding 117's shielding.

Spell well, form your sentences well, don't God Mode, don't play other people's character unless you work something out, use proper grammar and run-on sentences like the one you're reading, and HAVE FUN. Enjoy a day in the life of a soldier about to die at a moment's notice!

I'll start it when I have a full squad and will update the list below as people sign up!

ODST 1: Seargeant Kenji Hiamato
ODST 2: ...Pending...
ODST 3: ...Pending...
ODST 4: ...Pending...
ODST 5: ...Pending...
ODST 6: Corporal Jones (Pronounced Jo-en-es) hahaha

Auxiliaries
Virin Leven - SpecOps Elite

Sorry for the slow start guys!

ODST Fan Fiction / SGP: ODST FanFic Readme

« on: November 19, 2009, 22:01:40 »

I would like to thank ColdGlider for the birth of the fanfic section. It was an off idea tossed around during a game and showed promise and became real!

Now onto the meat of this subject.
Treat this like you would on any RP site. You know, like keep out of character (OOC for those of you who might not know) stuff in its respective thread (if there is one), be nice, don't interrupt, wash your hands after the bathroom... Oops, wrong speech.  

For the most part just watch your spelling and try not to be controlling. I'm a nice guy, so I probably won't ban you but if you bug me, I'll hava Apollo camp your spawn and become a man... That sounds horrible when I say it like that, and trust me, it is...

Reserve this place for roleplay, stories, poems, haikus, songs, and anything else that you can think of in that little head of yours. As long as it is on the topic of the halo universe. More importantly the ODST realm of things. (being that this is in the ODST section) I figure if this site gets huge all the different topics will get tossed around, but for now?

Go have fun and play nice!

« on: October 06, 2009, 05:38:04 »

Welcome to the Cartographer!
I'm new to being a mod so things will be a tad disorganized at first, but don't fret! I'm a quick learner!
This sub-forum is the location for anything that has anything to do with mapping, locations, and the like.

I will update this post as often as I can with new collected information.

As for now if you have any questions or requests don't be afraid to send a PM my way! I'm a nice guy I promise!

SGP Task Force: Ghost Chasers / SGP: A Thought on Barriers and screens

« on: October 04, 2009, 16:43:29 »

I read this from your article about the banners that change while your in the same district... Have you thought about whatching them change in theater? When your character is running around you could sit and stare at a banner you know changed wihle you were there...

As for screens... The television screens that display various things...
I noticed first in Data Hive that some screens will show one thing, but when you get close, it shows something else...

Just a thought...

EDIT: I found a ...thing... last night (now that I think about it). It's this like directory kinda banner... it's small and a tad out of the way. On it there is 5 numbers and letters (that is 2 letters, 3 numbers).

Its ordered like this. (I cant recall the numbers or letters involved though, ill check it and get a pic)

1a
a1
1

something like that. If you want directions all I can remember is that it is near a dead marine with a shotgun. The marine was at the end of a hall of sorts. (not to be confused with the shotgun near Dares helmet.)

Theorizers / SGP: On difficulties

« on: October 04, 2009, 16:27:21 »

Hey guys, I'm new here, but I'm a part of the thread on bungie.net that is helping with this whole thing...

Aside from the intro... I would like to stress that some of the cooler things that happen in the halo games usually happens in the upper difficulties. (ie Heroic and Legendary).

It may be a bother, but bungie wouldn't want us to get the easter egg easily right? Aside from that if the glyphs have something against combat... I have no problem running from legendary enemies!
