sniper calm down. its ok. no need to scream.

sorry guys bout sniper he really likes the mod. guess he's a noob.

Merged post. Please stop bumping and double posting every chance you get.

sniper is right about one thing and that is i did spend a lot of time getting the mod together, but its not amazing. In this mod all i did was play around with a lot of stuff until i got something i liked.

Merged post. Don't triple post.....

hey sniper whats your email? I have a mod you might like i just finished.

Just so everyone in public knows, bigshot007 and sniper336 are the same person.

I had that in the back in my mind. Nobody would support anybody else's mod so much.

I found that out too, The emails were just the other ones name.

Sorry I just wanted to see what would happen. It was pretty ez to find out cuz i didnt hide anything. At 1st i didnt do it on purpose. i had made bigshot007 in very biginning, and had a better name, so i wanted to delete it, but i didnt know how to delete an acount, so i made sniper336, and used it till the other day. i for some reason typed in my bigshot007 when logging in, and remembered i had sniper336. i went to look at my mod and prased my mod to see if i had a good agruement people would look at it. Me and my friend wanted to see what would happen and look what happened!!! This mod or post has been the greatest amount of talk, but now you know. please forgive me. thanks for the feed back!!

Just wondering how many times other people have done this??? Good thought huh?

You could have easily asked for deletion or name change... I had my name changed. Aside from all this nonsense, mod looks nice, its nothing amazing but its okay.

No, it wasn't a good thought.

Dude it was a joke.

It seemed as you supported it as if it wasn't a joke.

/yawn

Im bored kinda so ill make a little reply while i got a few mins to spare.

I don't see this as a joke at all seriously. I see this as a awful attempt to promote your mod by using deceit and trickery. If this was merely a joke you would have said something before being exposed and not the later. All it shows me is weakness and cowardness on your behalf by offering the mod under one name and fighting for the mod under another. If you truly thought your mod was good to begin with you would have just stuck with the original name or released the mod under the name you preferred more.

As for the mod itself..

'The main feture is the marines being more aware, alot more offensive, extremely aggresive"

This does not make for a fun AI mod. You have adjusted the marines yes, but you didnt make the game any harder at all. All you did from your own statement is make it so you had better help beating the game. As for the visual effects with blood and smoke I can only say thoes are merely parlor tricks. Anyone can go through and just bump up settings to make any biped more aware and aggressive. Its simple and even on my first time doing it for FTW i had it done in about 10 mins for all the SP maps. I can understand one being proud of their work but when you make false aliases and beg for the mod to have attention just makes me look at it harder and pick at it more. Basically you set yourself up by making it seem more then it really is.

So to break it down totally all I can see that you actually did in this was change some variables via hmt. There is no PMI work. Nothing new to warrant another run through campaign except to see more blood and smoke which I honestly could care less about unless the smoke and blood was to a different effect other then just "more" of the same thing. Even bothering to take the time to add a few new weapons or something would have been a slight improvement upon stock but in the end I can only compare this to someone buying new seat covers for their car and telling everyone how great your car is now.

my final rating after my own in depth look into this - 3/10

And im not trying to be a arse when I say this next comment but if you feel the need to reply back and argue my points I made then go for it. But its not going to sway my opinion on it. You released it, acted like you did with it and claimed it by your own words ..

"this mod is perfected with the marines!!! its not a remake of halo but it is unique. This should be in the outstanding mods forum."

its far from perfected. it is not unique. if it got into outstanding id remove my outstanding mods cause the water there would be tainted.

/rant

p.s.
to my 2 loyal fanboys who love to call me out on being harsh on people or rude please remember you have to have the ying with the yang, while you guys encourage people to keep doing the same old things over and over im going to keep pushing then to try harder at something really unique.

to each his own.

Fair enough pepsi, I've always felt that newer members will respond better to encouragement rather then criticism, but hey, everyone's entitled to their opinions right? You keep ripping people's mod's apart, and I'll keep giving them advice. Between the two sides they'll either get overwhelmed and quit, or make something better.

Oh BTW Pepsi, welcome back from your little vacation. Im sure we all missed you.

As far as the mod is concerned, it's decent, but is lacking. Having the added blood is kinda cool, but it's nothing amazing. And it's good that you messed around with the AI tags and learned a bit about that, but just doing that doesnt warrant a full mod. I would suggest doing a Multiplayer map, and messing around with some of the stuff in there.

Try doing some PMI stuff, look up tutorials on it. Try duplicating weapons if you can, there's a tutorial somewhere by Philly that I like quite a bit. Try messing around with weapon values, projectile values, vehicle speeds etc. etc.

Try to balance everything out, don't make flying hogs and supa-fast banshees, make everything equal out, have somethings stronger then others and weaker then others, give every weapon a purpose. Basically make sure that no weapon is over-powered and no weapon is under-powered.

Put in new models and re-skin things in the map, go for an overall theme, make it a night map, or make it snowy, rainy, give a thick fog, whatever you want to do.

I never left so to say. I lingered a bit here and there. But don't get it confused with me modding again. As I said before, FTW was my last mod.

@Pepsi
1. nice book
2. are you going to return my PM to you?

When the criticism heavily outweighs the encouragement, it doesn't do much good to the receiver of the review. I'm sure we all like to make lengthy reviews and such, being as straight forward as we can...But you have to include both sides of the story (good and bad).

This mod is not original, it certainly doesn't have me playing campaign again (well said, Pepsi). Infact, I don't even see the point of downloading it. People look for more than just A.I mods. You should focus now more on what you could do to improve it, making it more enjoyable. And no, overpowered things do not make the game more fun.

If you're new to this, I suggest playing around with HMT for awhile. Take time to get familiar with all the tools/plugins HMT has to offer.

Pepsi · Post by **Pepsi** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 2:34 am

to back that even further also checking the downloads sections to see what has been done before might help also cause theres alot of water around here and no mouth watering beer!!!

bcnipod - i did it cause i did it to half my list. its not a uncommon thing. as i said before to so many people...

if i dont talk to you at least once a week then im going to delete you off xfire. i hate clutter. i get a million invites and no one speaks hardly. i hate scrolling through afk people to find the ones i need toi speak with. its nothing personal but my own personal preference.
