He says the thing about the CD and the people come in...

Thank you very much for the great feedback, and yes, it was when i mentioned the CD, not that your bothered. If Neo doesn't want the CD when the game comes out, i can send it to a 56ker instead, cause i am warning you, the file size will surprise you.

Equinox, thanks for the music comment. I tried to make the beta demos atmosphere a little like T+R. Did the second music play for you on the Ghost chase? Didn't at my friends house!

I tried pretty hard on the beta, and on the full version i'll try my hardest!

Coming soon:

*Better AI
*More enemies
*More weapons
*More music
*More vehicles
*Blast physics
*Mini Games (That'll "pwn", like Halo Pong)
*1337 split screen, and online later on (hopefully)
*FPS mini sections (a lil like the 343GS game)
*Gore (nuff said)
*The exact book storyline
*Mode 7 effects
*And many more i can't remember.

lol equinox actually didnt play it, he just watched me play it... and anyway, I cant beat the Grunts! I suck at this game!

lol... unless there is something I dont know about this game, I just plain suck at it BIGTIME..

Technically, you probably don't suck! I pre-released the Grunt AI, expect it to be improved a lot

MasterNeoChief · Post by **MasterNeoChief** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 6:53 am

Don't believe me wrong, I do want the CD, but that would be a bit clumsy as I live in Holland...maybe some private upload to send the link to me, and then get rid of the upload?
or mail perhaps.
Anywayz, I'm looking forward to the game, I have the demo still on my harddisk and play it frequently!!

Spartan III · Post by **Spartan III** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 6:56 am

Heh, thanks for that. I've been making the Warthog lately! Tis good!

MasterNeoChief · Post by **MasterNeoChief** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 6:57 am

Awesome!
Will it be able to carry passenger?

Yup, and a gunner! There should be AI marines too!

MasterNeoChief · Post by **MasterNeoChief** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 7:23 am

*drools*
Will the Marine AI also be able to control the Ghost, like in the game?
And you maybe can drive the Wraith?
And I say you have to not let the game quit when you are game over...
it's annoying to open up the game everytime again

No, it won't, that was because of some "Direct Show" bugs. Anyway, unfortunately, i doubt Marines will be able to drive Ghosts, that's hard, very hard. As for a Wraith, it's looking likely for multiplayer. There will be some new multiplayer exclusive vehicles too, like a motorbike!

its not that, its just I cant use the control scheme whatsoever... i cant kill more than one grunt because in order to fire at them, you have to be standing still, absorbing shots, or moving at them until you collide and the above happens because you cant move away from them.

This game seems really awsome, but I cannot kill all of the grunts. I didn't read all of the bugs either but I pushed shift a whole bunch of times and eventually the master chief continuously shot even when I didnt hold the button to shoot. But from what I can tell, it looks like you did an awsome job!

The control scheme is easy to get used to, and making a auto stop control scheme would be really hard, i am not sure whether it'll be a possibility.
AI will be better and you should be able to "run and gun".

Thanks for that. Grunt AI will be improved, and as for that "continuously shot" comment, it is simply just a graphics error, which isn't my fault, and shouldn't happen in the full version!

wow good job at this.. im learning flash and then im gunna move on to better and more complicated languages.. thanks!

Spartan III · Post by **Spartan III** » Mon Mar 15, 2004 3:06 am

Thanks for that comment, the full versions gonna be a lot better, as that was a beta. And Sepiku's helping with sprites too!

Haven't tried this yet, but I am going to ASAP. As you may notice, it is early morning monday here, and that means school in like...an hour @.@ so I will try this ASAP after school and tell my fellow Halo fanatic friend about it. (He reads the books and will love this)
