Spokiee, snapping at people isn't going to get you anywhere. Pepsi is only trying to help. I'm not trying to be rude, but I've seen a lot of mods like this... I'm sorry, but just keep at it, everyone has potential for something great :)
Just try to learn how to take criticism, I know it sucks to hear bad things about your mod, but if you don't listen to others you'll get nowhere.

The mod is alright, I like how you put a little teleport entrance door to the cabins :) I also like the gun effects.

Why must you flame pepsi? We all know pepsi is a well respected member and shouldn't be flamed at.

pepsi wouldnt get flamed if pepsi knew how to tell someone their mod neded work in a more respectfull manner, if you painted the sistine chappel and people told you you sucks pointed out everything and made very crude remarks about it, you would be dissapointed and slightley upset, but if people told you in a nice manner wat the problem then things would be all gravy....]

you want to take my comments as flames then go right ahead. why dont you make a big deal on others comments also while you at it, or did you even bother to see that, in fact was nicer to you in this mod then most. i also went and took the extra step to show you how this mod looked on my end via a video. as far as my video card sucking i didnt know a 8800 was a crap card since it is the most current card out right now.

i have done nothing but stuck to the facts on your mod you had me believe in your opening post and if you dont like comments people have, dont post stuff.

so again..

1. the sky is pixelated. i gave this mod to 4 other people and they too see the sky like this. cards used 8800, 7900, 7800 and a 5500.

2. it has log houses that do nothing for the mod but having them.

3. it contains a ton of random shader swaps that are out of place and do not look good.

4. some weapon effects are nice, but not enough to carry the mod.

5. the beacon stickman is funny and creative.

6. the hogs going fast leaving flame trails is very old and over done.

7. the tree at the big hill doesnt need to be there and throws the map off for me.

3/10 final score

sure there was effort put into this, but like i said, it does seem half-arsed. you could have done alot better and took your time to clean alot of these issues up or made some of the ideas more fuctional in the map. you said you had it for a long time so you have had the time to fix them. read your original post..
okay, i've had this stored away from time and this is its grand release ^_^ it does have alot of bit swapping and such but its still a very nice mod if you just want a few suttle changes and nothing way 2 dramatic,also this is the first release of something i'd like to call the halo paint em up mod *_* paint the base with your ar bullets and watch as a beautiful scenic picture appears in the backround!!
there is nothing subtile about meta swaps all over the base and a huge pixelated sky. you also said these things were functional in the map. the log houses have nothing to do with anything except for hiding a single weapon. you set yourself up with your own opening post on how people are going to rate this. i went into reviewing this modding looking for subtile changes, things that were changed had function, nothing was going to be dramatic. the painting part of the mod doesnt work either for me.


now..

you know why none of this works right for me and for some others and works great for you? your bitmaps. its that simple. your running the mod on your bitmaps and when we run the mod on our bitmaps this is what we see, or at least ive seen. there are changes on my bitmaps as well as others and if your running redux or some other mod your sky will look like that. you need to offer a bitmaps patch or simply say "this needs to be ran on stock bitmaps". you didnt, so therefor i have to call it like i see it.

as for you going into the redux thread and rating my mod as awesome, then going back and editing your post to sayign "it sucks" is childish. if you want to say redux sucks and give it a 1/10 thats fine. it doesnt bother me. why? cause its your feedback and ill take it either way. just like when hamster gave it a 7/10 cause it didnt work right for his comp i didnt go have a "fit" in his threads and edit my ratings cause he wasnt overly pleased with my mod.

im sticking by what i said and im not going to change it. its a 3/10 and its average and been done before. just like the path i choose in redux is, in essence, nothing but skinning, lighting and swaps. but even if you bother to download it you can see i took alot of effort to reskin alot of things. the swaps arent random and are seamless in play.

the bg base is comprised of 5-6 skins alone and swapping the same one on everything doesnt look good. it may to you but to others it doesnt.

...to others it doesnt....

you posted it here for people to rate. you may like it. not everyone will feel the same as you. if you cant handle open opinion then maybe you should keep your mods to yourself so your pride wont take a blow when something doesnt go your way.

ah, as much as it hurts me to say this i do see that your right, and i probably over-reacted slightly, but yes i did download your redux, and it looks great, but something in your bitmaps makes my mods look shitty, like i said if you watch my vid, the sky looks 10 times better, well i tried and thats all that matters, so as i said before take it or leave it, and yes redux is awesome i do have to admit it, i posted that comment before i actually downloaded it and tested it out.

Im gonna make a brief point... as far as people around here go i havnt seen anyone who likes this mod many things can be improved and things need to be changed...... this reminds me of another Noob BG no offence but as many have said get modeling down and skinning and then release something until then i would not post if you do not like critixism.
Thank you

Also, what vid card do you have? Do you even know? Probably not. Yeah, just tested this on my bros like $10000 comp. 8800 Ultra, and guess what, THE SKY IS PIXELATED.

mb spokiee20000's eyes are pixelated from making this horrible thing, and what looks pixelated to us is normal to him.

Since im new to the halo modding community, pretty much all of this stuff is new to me.

i like how fast the warthogs are, and the fire from the wheels. i cant say that i honestly like the skins because they are just random white and wood.

i also like the beacon guy, because it puts not-seriousness into a game that usually is.

also, i would like the texture of the base if it was applied in matched up, and wasnt used over the entire base.

i also like the portal

before making this post i reinstalled a total fresh copy of halo to give this a 100% clean review without anything else added but what the stock user would use.

you know, i tried to reason with you and still your on this dumb kick, dissing me or something childish. lemme get a few things through your simple mind..

ANYONE!!! can go download this at this link as he posted..

QFT: http://files.filefront.com/bloodgulchmap/;8988176;

and they can see the same that i see right now.

1. the cyborg and cyborg hands dds files are nothing but hog skins over them making his MC look like total crap.
2. the sky puffy light and sky clear blue are overwritten by the b30/glass and nothing more
3. he wasent even smart enough to use shader swaps but instead choose to apply the same dds to over 10+ different bitmaps all within the "levels\b30\bitmaps\metal..".
4. according to sparkedit there was nothing PMI'd to this map even making it "unique" from what original BG would offer.
5. vehicles were sped up and simple meta swaps added to the slip details for fire. guns have some lighting effects but nothing to big.
6. the banshee and warthog are nothing but dds swaps of the bitmap for a50_rock_large

...so thats alone is 6 reason's why this map is terrible.


now lets discuss this video card issue you so flamed me with...

lets compare shall we?

Image

i do have a EVGA GTS version and you know whats sad? mine still looks better then yours. thats funny. so your saying you spent all that extra cash and your halo still isnt on par with mine on a lower priced card? money doesnt make the card kid.

now while were on this topic let me quote you directly on something real quick..

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... PVT80FSHE9

i find it so funny that you typed all this time in with no capital punctuation at all but when you went to go type the info "off your box" you seemed to have it EXACATLY how newegg is posting it. i checked 10 other sites and no one has it labeled exactally like YOU and NEWEGG do.
