Halo MOD?

Halo MOD?

from Sins Forums
Ok so I am just throwing this idea out there because I am a Halo fanatic and I think that this game could easily incorporate the Halo universe into it. I am not a very good designer but I can provide support and more ideas. There are already two races that could easily be changed into the Humans and the Covenant( TEC and Advent). All we would have to do would be to change ships some and add  gauss guns to most TEC Cap ships. I know this might take a long time but if it means that we will finally have a Halo space combat game then it will be well worth it.

Says it there, not sure in what book n the like, but yeah. It can't go that fast in Sins anyways, unless we made the gravity wells 100 times bigger and made fleet engagements take up the entire gravity well (Which, is what they do in Halo, battles take place over hundreds of kilometers which is why these weapons are fast as hell, but can still y'know, move. lol)

yeah i prefer a book source since you know wikipidia is subject to outside influence and false information.

but anyway if it pleases everyone ill make it slightly faster than the fastest ship. at least then ships cant outrun it but they can dodge. ill also make it so that the plasma has a very slow turn rate if i remember the book correctly.

A question with the torpedos, when the fireing ship is destroyed will the torpedo detonate? It's stated that when a Covenant ship is destroyed and a plasma torpedo is en route it will detonate prematurely, or fly off aimlessly till it hits something. I find the second rather hard to believe because of the way plasma torpedo's operate, though.

if there are multiple ships nearby the torp will not detonate or dissolve as seen at reach but when only one or two ships are present then the torps will dissolve or detonate as seen in *First Strike* in the battle at Eridanus with the crusier cortana destroyed and the cruiser's torps.

oh yea finally found internet here in new mexico will be here till either friday, saturday, or sunday

i do not trust anything wiki says simply because there is to much error. for instance there was a big correction war about the size of the death star. i simply dont trust it unless it can be verified by one of the books.

i dont want to cause a fuss but this is one reason why schools say not to use wikipedia. so if its about any of the projects im working on shields, plasma or the projector beam i dont want a wiki link. by the way keyes the projector beam is done i just need it to fire one beam instead of 2. i also need details on what we know from the game and books about it.

first halopedia has its own supervisors and they review all changes before finalization

projector was big beam of pure white light

Yeah, I've found the Halo wiki to be extremely accurate. And plus, if you want input, you'll either have to go re-read the books every time you want info, or trust wiki. Because most of us aint gonna re-read the book looking for every tid-bit of info, we'll just wiki it and get a nice convienent article. And in the end, it's a mod. It doesn't HAVE to be perfect, and if wiki is wrong a bit, who cares? Who cares if it says a plasma torp travels at half the speed of light, when in fact it travels at 1/4 the speed of light! Doesn't really matter.

I'd rather have fun than balanced or realistic. I think most people do as well. Just look at the popularity of the Retarded mod for C&C3. Everything is balanced only in its ability to PWN.

Such things make for fun mini-mods, but not for any sort of major mod. You need balance, that doesn't necesarily mean you have to make carbon-copies of each faction. You can attain asymmetrical balance, but you allways need balance.
Reply #1335 from Sins Forums Top
The point I was making is that balance does not make a mod fun in itself. The Retarded mod is balanced to a certain extent, however if making a unit balanced makes it boring, then the maker will not balance it. While balancing certainly can improve fun, you can balance sides to where they are cookie-cutters of each other and therefore kill the fun.

Mods should always strive to be fun, and not centered on "balance". Enjoyment is more important than fairness when playing a game.

You can't get enjoyment without fairness though. It's never fun to be playing a game rigged against you. So it HAS to be balanced otherwise all possibility for fun goes out the window. Imagine if they strived for realism, sure the Covie player would love it, but the human player couldn't ever win and would stop playing.

I agree they shouldn't be cookie cutters of eachother, that's why I mentioned asymmetrical balance, which is what's being done in this mod. The covies n humans are NOTHING alike, but they're still balanced against eachother.

I know all that. F**k all I'm saying is FUN is what's most important about mods. Period.
Reply #1338 from Sins Forums Top
yes the covies are nothing alike ones alien and anothers human duh dang we are focusing on fun more then anything tho i feel this game will be fun just becuase its halo it would matter if we just replaced the mesh and left every thing else the same it still would be fun

No offense, cptkeyes, really, but it would really help us to understand what you are saying if you include some punctuation SOMEWHERE at least. I can understand without capitalizations, poor spelling, and unusual syntax, however, the complete lack of any punctuation really gets in the way of people being able to understand what you are saying.

Sorry, but it's true. Punctuation helps people know what you are saying.

And yes, I do get what you are saying. However it is very hard to understand and I have to work at it to understand it.

And sorry if English isn't your first language, but it IS the language of the entire freaking Internet, and I think if you want to use the Internet to post in English-typing forums, the least you could do is make your English more than "barely understandable".

I dunno what you're on, but I can read his posts just fine. Just as easily as any of your posts.

Also, Dinoff, it's fine. I don't really like wiki's either but for the most part they're your only source of info, short of going and looking for it yourself. But sometimes that's just way too impractical.
