I guess nobody's interested :p
-
I don't have HALO PC, sorry. Else I'd try it. Because I do like shooting the other marines... :p
-
You did this al in HMT?
Not bad, though HPC CE is better in all ways...
Oh, and those upgrades for the flood levels are BAD... Since that affects you as well...
-
Looks like you adjusted weapons the way they have been adjusted for Halo 2...

Yup

Yeah, but it's multi player only

Why bad?

I guess, the only thing I really know about H2's weapons is the AR-Pistol "switch"
-
AR --> SMG, Pistol --> BR, I think. The mod looks great for rebalancing, Bri, but I'm like Raa - don't have it on PC. Probably couldn't run it on PC even if I wanted to, too. :nervous:
-
Damn console jockeys :p

Because the Flood use those weapons too.
-
uh oh.
That would suck when half of them have the AR. And on Legendary, they use them.

What did you expect? It's HALO. Mmmmm... bland.
-
No, its just that most people have it on a console.
-
Yes. And there's a reason for that.

Yeah, they're extremely deadly now. I only tested this mod on Normal.......I've never lasted more than 5 minutes on any map with Legendary, so I didn't take that into consideration.

But it's still a fun game. Plus the AI rules.
No, its just that most people have it on a console.
So um.....how many of you have Halo PC?
-
Not I.
I like my XBox, regardless of what the haters say. MS may be a ****ty company, but the XBox is a nice little piece of hardware, for gaming only.
-
I have it on pc but my crappy G4MX means it looks better on X-box.
I prefer mouse control though.
-
Yep mouse control is cool. I am trying a keyboard/joystick combo next though....
And, I have Halo on Mac, which is awesome, but it was such a long wait to get the Mac version, which is kind of ironic when you think about it....

Pfft, you should see it on my PC, with it's wonderful intel graphics chip
-
YES!!!
I just figured out how to activate HDTV resolutions!!!

I have halo PC but I won't be downloading this. I hate mods which make the pistol useless.
The nicest thing about the weapons in Halo is that each weapon has its uses. I can understand why the AR needs to be upgraded somewhat cause it became a weapon that I never used (well maybe a litttle on Flood levels) but the pistol was nicely balanced with all the other weapons. It was useful at times but not an uber weapon.
The changes you've made make the pistol pretty much make it useless. I'd be swapping it for anything else on every level. Basically you've swapped one nearly useless weapon for another.
-
Yes I know. And I tried covering it up with other stuff too.......
:p
-
Actually the AR is pretty good against Elite's shields. Circle them and empty the clip in their back. But I prefer overcharging the plasma pistol to waste their shields and then punching them to death. Ha ha. Manly.
-
I always thought the AR was the worst weapon for taking down shields.
-
Yeah I never had any luck with it against elites except on easy (where you can kill an elite with one clip sometimes). If you have to reload you're dead meat.
I did use the AR fairly heavily in 343 Guilty Spark and The Library however. It makes a nice complement to the shotgun. It has loads of ammo and deals with infection forms quite easily.
-
speaking of clips, the new battlefield rifle has clips that are way too small.

Depends how you use it, short bursts of fire over distance can keep accuracy quite tight, peppering an elite and chipping away at it's shields is how I did it in Legendary, or running behind them circle strafing so they couldn't get a bead on me. Only when the AR was the best (or only) weapon of choice, however the AR is still not my weapon of choice, that's the pistol and shotgun combo, distance and power.
I think though I come at this from a multiplayer perspective, it's been a while since I played single player.

Nope...
AR --> Battle Rifle
SMG = Not based on previous weapon
Pistol --> Pistol (no scope, shorter range)
-
Best weapon combo on Halo (on Legendary) is plasma pistol and human pistol. Vaporize the elites shields then two head shots.
-
This mod makes the game too easy, I could whip through the Pillar of Autumn with the AR, something I could never do or think of doing before.
But speaking of mods for Halo, does anyone know of any co-op mods?

Yeah I know. I did make the AR a bit too powerful. But this is the first mod for any game I've ever made. There's some stuff I want to change so I'll probably put a patch out soon.

The newest version is out, see the first page.

[q]The change from Assault Rifle to Battle Rifle is actually more of a change from the Pistol to the Battle Rifle, and the Assault Rifle to the SMG. After watching people play Halo, we realized that people expected the big rifle weapon to be a stronger, better weapon than the dinky little pistol. As a result, people used the Assault Rifle in a lot of places where it was inappropriate, when the enemy was too far away, and that made it ineffective and unsatisfying. The Pistol was usually a better choice, but who would expect a pistol to be the medium range weapon of choice?
So, our solution was to transform the Pistol into the "preferred" weapon, a potent feeling Battle Rifle. Since differentiating the weapons is important, and we wanted to de-emphasize the bullet hose Assault Rifle a bit, we transformed it into the SMG, which feels more like a sidearm beside the Battle Rifle.

I hate to derail another thread, but while we're talking about Halo mods, does anyone know of a patch, hack or anything that makes Halo run smoothly at 1024x768 on a GF FX5200?
My old GF4MX440 ran it a beauty, but my 'new' 5200 only works properly at 640.
-
That'll probably be the pixel shaders kicking in I'm afraid. The MX440 doesn't support them, so the game automatically disables them, whereas the 5200 does iirc. :)

Try adding something like -ps1.1 or -ps1.4 to the command line (see the readme for the exact command). Albeit I've never got Halo to run well at any setting on my FX5600; it seems to be a matter of luck as to whether you can actually run it or not.
