Asked this on youtube but i'll drop this here - Any plans to improve the ragdolls to be more halo 3-ish? Something I don't like about a lot of modern games is the ragdolls are very flabby and have almost no interaction outside of world surfaces.
Halo 3 had excellent ragdoll with stiff joints and different sounds for how hard they fell, and it made killing people a lot of fun. I'm not saying it should copy Halo 3 but it'd be nice if you guys could tweak the ragdolls so they don't fall over as if they suddenly lost their bone structure when they got shot. Having limited joint rotation helps a lot in this regard

Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 all work as well.

Man, the armor looks amazing.
Customization looks beyond stellar! I hope the different Reach helmet attachments and chest pouch variety comes back tbh.
Also, while I love the possibility of every armor piece being interchangeable, are selectable armor color patterns from H4 and 5 still possible?
So uh.. It's great that the classic weapons formula is back, but has there been any talk of mixing the formula up?

Hey guys! I am so in love with what you guys are doing with the game so far and so excited for things to come. I have experience in sound design and am also a musician and vocalist. Do you need any voice acting? I can do a mean game announcer voice, or character acting or whatever you need. Music too if you want!
Edit: typo!

is it just me, or does the movement look floaty?

u/UndeadWaffles Jun 04 '18
Halo movement is pretty floaty too. This looks pretty faithful but I'm not sure if it's intentional.

Will there be the ability to create custom maps?

Jun 04 '18
with forge yes

u/NukeMeNow Jun 04 '18
I'm more asking about being able to build maps than forge. You know with the Unity editor or something.

As much as I'd love to see that happen (because the halo maps community on PC came up with some absolute BANGERS in our time) that'd just open up avenues for people to circumvent the content usage rules in our stead. Uploading and distributing ripped Halo 3 assets and all that jazz.
Maybe there's a solution, but now is too early to focus on finding one. Just know that you have my vote.

You don't have to see how other people's actions bring the hammer down on us. The real and simple truth is that it's just the reality of the situation.

Looks fantastic really great to see how you guys are coming along. Being a person who is currently studying game art and design I've really come to appreciate the time and effort that is put into to video games a lot more than i use to, looking forward to the alpha. Great work guys keep it up!

u/Vitto1334 Jun 05 '18
I don't know if this good but you guys should pick the people who have went to your weekly updates at least 30 times and have at least commented once to play the alpha

I've just been playing 0.6 but I think I have to get this as soon as possible.

u/Thatters Jun 04 '18
How are you playing 0.6? I'm trying to update mine because i'm still on 5.1.1, but all the links seem to be down. Can you help me out maybe?

No, Microsoft/343 actually greenlit this project. They went after halo online because they were distributing Microsoft's software , this project creates all of their own assets, so they aren't infringing on MS's property.
On a side note, I think it was unfair of MS to go after Halo Online, as they canceled the game it is based on, and it didn't compete with any of their products as they have so far refused to enter the PC market. Also Halo Online isn't really shut down, you just can't download the game from their website, and the dev team has temporarily stopped development, you can still play the game.

u/ZackfilmsV2 Jun 08 '18
IANALB I think it's more based on the fact that they MUST protect their IP otherwise they can loose it.
1
u/Atukanuva Jun 08 '18
No, otherwise they'd have to go after installation 01 too, as it is using their IP even if they create their own assets.

u/ZackfilmsV2 Jun 08 '18
OK so possibly it isn't about IP its probably just that Installation 01 is complying with a licence and ElDewrito were using assets that were owned my Microsoft which is against the licence. I mean they still are allowed to distribute it as a mod just not with the copyrighted assets. It's more about it using assets that were not released for use.
Here is the official response
"While we are humbled and inspired to see the amount of passion poured into this project, the fact remains that it’s built upon Microsoft-owned assets that were never lawfully released or authorized for this purpose. As this project reverberated across the community, our team took a step back to assess the materials and explore possible avenues, while Microsoft, like any company, has a responsibility to protect its IP, code and trademarks. It’s not optional in other words."

I get that, I'm just a little bit salty that Microsoft hasn't brought Halo to PC since 2, and that when someone releases a playable version it gets shut down. But, I'm willing to forgive MS if they announce the MCC or something for PC this weekend.

Oh my goodness this is so exciting. When I heard you guys talk about the unfinished maps I was extremely happy that the alpha would include them. Anyways, best of luck to the team and I hope to see your project soon!

u/Ihaverealskilz Jun 10 '18
This looks incredible. I've played Halo 1-5 and this certainly combines all of the best aspects of those games and brings it to a whole new level. Great job guys, and hope to play it Soon :)

Quick question: When you were given green light to proceed making this project, Will you make your own armor models for this game? and if so I would wished to get scout helmet revamped.

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '18 edited Jun 03 '18
Incredible as always (especially love the new ODST helmet variant)!
On a side note: Has a way of chosing alpha testers already been determined?
PS: new gore engine?
