Sorry, been out of town for five weeks taking a good long vacation from work!

Before the break, I managed to get a couple more models updated, fixed a few turrets and odd submodel issues with some of the main ships (it was putting them way outside the ship). Also, I tried a build to balance the fighters better by slowing them down and giving them some uber-afterburners. It's fun for the player but the AI has trouble with it; looks like a group of angry hornets coming after you when they aburn!!!

I've been focused more on quality of the tables and missions as of late instead of worrying about the models/textures. It could be beautiful and no fun to play or fun and passable,  and I think people would enjoy the later much more.

I'll whip up a few screenies soon. Also halfway done on an intro cinematic! Just need to hunker down and get a server, revive the old website, etc. etc. Fun times ahead!

Thanks for keeping the interest! I'll have files and actual gameplay out as soon as I it gets closer to a beta state.

Also want to point out something that will certainly eat up a bit of time over the coming days!

Released back in October of last year (how did I miss this?!?!?!?!  :banghead:) was Halo: Glasslands. Aside from continuing the story arc set up in GoO (Ghosts of Onyx), it introduces a glimpse into the post-war struggle.

Personally I'm quite happy some literature has come out about this. The plot from what I read of the summary follows closely what I set up for Chapter III years ago! Why am I happy, then? A) I probably don't have to change my plans or details for Chapter III and B) reinforces my resolve that I was thinking in-line with Bungie storytellers.
