HEK will be able to make entire new levels! Not just ajust them! No spark edit can't.

Can't do that, but with HEK you should be able to, if you know 3d modeling well.

ok, so i was looking at bloodgulch.map in my hex editor, and i was changing some of the text strings. in the section where it has all the names of the vehicles for when it says "Press E to enter Scorpion" or whatever, it said "Kestrel" and it has to be a vehicle they didn't end up making or something. Has anyone seen this, or have any idea what it is?
My prediction:
it was supposed to be a sort of human airplane, somewhat like the banshee (or the Raptor in UT2004) because a kestrel is a type of small falcon: http://yahooligans.yahoo.com/content/an ... /2369.html
so... lets hear your ideas...

It would be a human banshee, yes...
Why do humans name their vehicles after animals?
Pelican
Warthog
Scorpion
Kestrel.

awesome discovery....

i never noticed that naming pattern thing... Humans: all animals Covie: all appiritions

Duffman · Post by **Duffman** » Sun Apr 25, 2004 1:42 pm

i never noticed that. Then again, the covie names are all names made up by humans, so it's not really their name.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sun Apr 25, 2004 1:59 pm

Ghost
Wraith
Banshee
Phantom (in the upcoming halo 2)

And then I heard something about a "Shadow." I guess it'd fit the trend! lol...

also, the Shade, its the covie turret
I think a cool name they should use for a covie vehicle is "Spectre"
