Re: "Freespace 2: Halo" is Back!
Thanks for the praise; helps give me determination  :D

I originally planned on the demo to be released back in May, but my computer went dead for a month, so it got pushed back to June/July. Since then I've been in a wedding, had an uncle die/funeral to go to, and my cousin is going to be a mother. All in all, it has been a helluva summer for me. I just got back from wedding/funeral (two weeks of travelling and prep), and I'm hitting the mission material hard so I can get a sort of Beta Demo out by the end of July. Once out, I'll be taking any info people can give me about glitches, bugs, and broken mission events. Then I'll finish up Chapter One and finalize a release by (hopefully) the first of September. You may or may not know, but Halo 3 comes out on September 25. I have no illusion that Halo fans would rather play my mod, so I'm not going to try and compete with it, but I do want FS2H out before the gaming communities are swamped by Halo 3 press. Chapter Two will be released by winter, and that is when FS2H will either make it or not.

Chapter One is human-on-human fighting, so Chapter Two is very important. And yes I'll include a copy of FRED2 in the releases. I'm sure that the best Halo missions will be made by people here in the FS2 community, not me. But I will give it an honest try  :)

I don't think Bungie would mind you using the Marathon icon, as those games have been released for free.  At least, they probably wouldn't do anything about it.

 
Re: "Freespace 2: Halo" is Back!
I can't wait to play it.  And don't worry about halo 3, its not like we're always going to be playing it.  In fact, I'll only get to play it a weekend out of every few weeks, as my brother owns our 360 and is at college :(
So keep makin it! :D

I sure earned it, didn't I?  :P

My computer went dead for more than a month....I'm going away for a wedding the next month, one of my cousins died, another cousin became mother. Oh, and one of my dogs died today.

Welcome aboard, Devrous! :blah:

Out of all the projects I see here, I have to say this one excites me the most. Especially if we will see ships actually move when high-kinetic MAC rounds hit them!

I should point out that I am a student in Videogame Development, so I am aiming to use my 3DS MAX skills to get some models done. Hopefully I'll be able to help out at some point in the future. I can't wait for a demo! :D

Someone must help Devrous. He needs more modellers, FREDders, texturers, coders...

They won't move. They'll just be vaporized from the instant explosion. :nervous:

Or was that the super MAC that did that?

Super MAC. The novels describe ship-bourne MAC rounds as punching holes in targets, knocking them back, before causing huge shipboard explosions. :D

And you realize that there will be no SathanAs in FS2:H, right?

Plural is Sathanii, and it necessarily doesn't have to be plural. For God's sake, people have been treating me like I know nothing this week. :hopping:

You know what? Fine. use your own crappy vocabulary. But don't ever correct me.

Re: "Freespace 2: Halo" is Back!
BOTH of you guys are wrong, anyway. Sathanas is a first declension masculine Greek noun.  The nominative plural is therefore Sathanai, not "Sathanes" or "Sathanii".
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.
