HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I'm going for that COG Gear look. Seeing as I just got Gears of War, I realized how scrawny the Marines in Halo were, so I decided to make them Gears. The skin is still in the works, obviously.

Same goes for the Elites. I call them Chaos Elites, and I'll be giving them Green or Teal armor as soon as I figure out how. Tanking, giant, Elites. I love them. Problem is some elites only have some parts, like it'll have the head and arms, but not the torso or legs.

omg geerz is best game evar evry gaem shud b tat way.

I like the Marines how they were better than the bulky look. Everyone in Gears of War is ridiculously over sized, and if you look at today's army, you'll realize not everyone in it is super huge...they're just average sized guys.

I know. It may not be very realistic, but I still think it looks cool.

with really big explosives

i agree with aeon here, they both looked fine the way they were, and it basically looks like you just selected verts and resized them....

You have to remember that in GoW, it's hard to stay alive. So if you were small, your probably dead.

It looks like you just make them bigger and taller. The gears aren't that tall, just bulky.

Natural selection at it's best!

Create a new layer in photoshop over the white. You may want to duplicate the original layer, and hide it.

Select the white area of trhe armor in your elite bitmap with your selction tool. Go back to your new, teal layer, hit ctrl+shift+I and that will invert your selction area. Hit delete, then ctrl+d to deselect. Bam, teal armor.

Fool around with the way the teal interacts with the layer beneath by going to your layers window.

If it is not showing, go to window (up by file view and filter), and go down to Layer and be sure it has a check mark next to it. Once you locate that window, be sure your on the layers tab, rather than channels or paths. next to opacity is normal and other settings you can use. Fool around with those.

they must like chunky chunky chicken soup.

marines are okay..
but the elites-i like the improvement
they seem like they would be a better enemy now
is this for PC?

Yeah, this is for PC.

Thanks Snaf, but I'm using Gimp, lol. And I meant like the AI armor color, like instead of Gold Elites, there'd be Teal Chaos Elites.

I just got an idea ^^

Uber up the Elite by increasing the overall Damage Resistance, then make them suicide charge into everything with flood-like instincts, leaping and charging with no Mercy ^^

Would anyone happen to know how to give the Elite flood melee animations?


And here are some updates:

The AR, sniper and needler all look bad in the above preview IMO.

Halo isn't Mario, Sonic, Banjo, Perfect Dark, 007, Christmas, Halloween, the matrix, counter strike, or even real, either.

But I've seen mods based off of all of those.

i disslike the marines boots
you made them huge

huge shoes---look-> girly, girly marines---look->g*y

they look like clogs
fix that and ill love it

I really don't think bullets care how big and bulky you are. The way i see it if a person is bigger, theres more of them to shoot at!!! GOW is a little bit unrealistic.....but it's still an awsome game.
