What does that have to do with this topic? :roll:

Despite credit being an issue, Bungie has specifically told Anthony that these things "really shouldn't get out".
Purpose for said tool is null and void.
So Bungie says they would prefer no more forge mods get out... what's the threat? Anthony gets banned from XBL? Couldn't he just resign the maps and upload them from a silver acct? I know Bungie said they didn't like it, but then again they didn't like Halo 2 modding either (not talking about cheating). My question: why discontinue the quest to permanently watermark the forge maps?

It's the principle of the damn thing. We like Bungie. Bungie tolerates us. Let's not fuck it up for everyone.

Nobody said that he had discontinued the research on watermarking forge maps, and chances are that Anthony respects bungie enough.

Among other things.
For hardware questions, refer to Xbox-Scene.

Alright thanks.

I didn't see if this was ever answered, did the needler have dual wielding animations or did you swap it with another dual wieldable weapon?

There are flags in each weapon that specify if that weapon is a dual wieldable weapon. We found the flags and enabled it.

Veegie: I'm dual wielding needlers
Tural: koo
Tural: Are the animations proper?
Veegie: yes

That was Detox, and the Elites were on fire.
He swapped all the shield-related effects with fire ones.

It depends on what you consider "on fire".
It visually looked like it was.

Same concept.
Shield effect was swapped with the effect you named.

Got a bit inspired by CoD4, so I made working iron-sights.
I like a minimal HUD too.
