Halo Reloaded

[Scarecrow]

Just so you know this has nothing to do with the matrix.....
Im making a mod, that is halo, but it goes on a differnt storyline. At the moment its just a simple biped swap, but as soon as i get a few good moddlers and skinners and modders, i will make it better.
This is the storyline:
First contact with the covenant went well, a little too well, the covenant suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started giving away technology, left, right and center. The S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S who have been in service for almost ten years since the first group were trained, most reside on reach, a world where they were trained, and after serving for ten years bought. The S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S are treated as outsiders and so keep to themselves, there children becoming the best warriors in the galaxy. Peace is not the lifestyle of the S.P.A.R.T.A.N, so most are enlisted as peace keepers right throught the galaxy. Although the S.P.A.R.T.A.Ns are the most highly technologically augmented fighting squad, they only use technology that has no covenant roots.
As the ten year anniversary of first contact with the covenant approaches, the technology starts to fail, Orbital weapons around planets suddenly go haywire and explode, advanced slipstream drives cut out in the middle of a jump and cant be restarted. The outer colonised planets suddenly drop out of communication and any vessels sent to them dont return. A whole fleet of destroyers are sent to investigate, and picked up by a satellite is this one transmission: "This is Captain Mcarthur of the USNC Destroyer Blazing Glory, all our systems are offline except for communications, what no, five ships just materialised out of nowhere, shields down, weapons down, Were taking fire! Reactors hit, the fleet is lost" the transmission ended there.
The POA which has been specifically remade for the use of the spartans is prepped and ready to go, filled with an arsenal of weapons specifically designed for the use of the Spartans, it is earths last hope against this new enemy.
On the anniversary of first contact, all of the covenant provided technology dies, and thousands upon thousands of covenant ships appear, destroying all of the human inhabited planets. The POA is dispatched to protect one of the last colony worlds, but when they reach there the planet is gone. A distress signal reaches the POA from reach, and they jump immediatley back, just in time to watch a covenant Juggernaut (A planet sized spaceship capable of destroying suns and worlds) destroy reach. Knowing that they are beaten the POA escapes, planning to goto the only place that the covenant dont know of, Earth. They come out of slipstream into a minefield, take heavy damage and then discover HALO.
(N.B. some of the crew arent spartans they are normal humans, the only reason they are on the ship is that they were placed with the spartans so that they can assist.)
*The next part of the story goes along as normal, but you get specially designed new weapons for the spartans and most of the crew are spartans even Keyes.
As the lifepod lands, all of the crew survive, and they pop the hatch (MC is unconcious) air rushes in and all the crew die, (MC wakes up) The reason the crew die and he doesnt is cuz in the air is a element, that causes you to age extremely fast, but it only affects you if you breathe it adn since MC breathes filtered air he survives. The reason the covies can survive is cuz the element occurs naturally on there planets also, and they have huge lifespan but because of the element it causes them to only live for 70-80 years before they die.
Game continues normally.

New Weapons:
R54 pistols: Have armor peircing rounds, with scope 2x and stun for 2 seconds. (Use upon: Grunts: Yes, Jackals: Yes, Elites: Prepare to use a whole clip or maybe more, Hunters: No)
M6AB Rifles: Power is sacrificed for Larger Clips and more clips but the tips are filled with a tiny amount of plasma, so that when penetration occurs, plasma enters the body adding to the damage. (Use upon: Grunts: Only use in small bursts, Jackals: Prepare to use half a clip, Elites: Prepare to use a whole clip or maybe more, Hunters: Just aggrovates them)
Battle Rifle: 2x scope and semi automatic fire. (Use upon: Grunts: Yes, Jackals: Yes, Elites: Prepare to use a whole clip or maybe more, Hunters: Maybe if you can hit there weak spots)
Bolt Cannon: Shotgun, sacrificing multiple projectiles for a faster and more powerful projectile. (Use upon: Grunts: Yes, Jackals: Yes, Elites: Yes, Hunters: Prepare to use half a clip)
Plasma Rocket Launcher: 8x scope plasma tipped warheads (Use upon: Grunts: Overkill, Jackals: In large groups, Elites: Overkill, Hunters: Yes)
(N.B. All of the covies will be stronger)

Changes to the enemies:
Grunts: Start using fuel rod cannon earlier on, more health. (Might Possibly replace with miniature hunters that use plasma pistols)
Jackals: Use Needlers, Plasma Pistols, Plasma Rifles
Elites: Can carry Fuel Rod Cannon, More Prolific, More health Can use Covie Carbine
Hunters: Travel in groups of four, fuel rod cannon more powerful.
Flood Infection form: Twice as many as usual and cause 1/2 more damage
Flood Carrier: Explosion replaced with Frag explosion, causing more damage, spawning more infection forms
Flood Elite: Now the normal Human Combat Form but elite sized and only use plasma weapons, shields but easily destroyed
Flood spartan: Shields but easily destroyed, only use human weapons and has more health. (New model)

Needed:
Someone who is really good at modelling bipeds
Someone who is really good at texturing and skinning bipeds
Someone who knows how to make it so that all the spartans arent green
Someone who can make a model of a spartan sitting down
A good battle rifle model
Good modders
Later on Beta testers.


This mod will be for Halo PC, later on if the project succeeds, and if it is popular i will get sumone to convert it for XBOX

This will be for the whole game, plz PM or email me at Spartan_201@hotmail.com if you wish to join the team or have models that i can use.

[EqUiNoX]

Yeh, I would join, if I had halo, PC...myt comp sux, we are getting a new one and if it happens to have good specs then I will put the ATI RADEON x800 XT in it and order halo for PC, so...i might end up joining...

[Scarecrow]

K sweet, equinox u got CE? Can u still model off of that then import those models into normal halo? Cuz if u could it would be appreciated.... hmmm......
I am going 2 also be putting in a useable energy sword, if someone finds me the best one, i will include it.

[{G}H0g-Jump4h]

i could help, but i cant do anything in Gmax/ 3DSmax 5/6 for crap. and close to nothing in HEK. but i could help with... other stuff.

[VoiDeD]

I can mod things for you, you know HMT, sparkedit, that kind of stuff.

Yeh, rioght, shit, my new comp it pretty cool, 2.6 gigohurts(lol) and only a 32 MG graphics card, but I am gonna update, but yeh, I will join and see what I can do, I just need halo CE now...

[VoiDeD]

W00t...64mb MX420. It sucks but it's better than yours!

As for the BR model, go to Homefront and ask to use their model.

That should work.

hyper-aging air= kinda stupid

pistol is now weak and takes more than a clip to take down measly elites and not even hunters=REALLY stupid

i thought the waepon scheme was kinda neat but the whole idea about grunts being really strong and mini-hunters was kinda dumb. i suggest you make the grunts funny. get someone that can do a good grunt impression make some hilarious dialouge, like "holy shit! i need a bigger gun!!" or "will you still kill me if i give up?" and, if they are attacking "aaaaaaagigigiya!!" or "you guys rush him. i'll ambush him from the base."

i also think that that you should re-think some of the stuff in the game. like the story and other things. just spend more time on it. other than that it sounds neat. i might want to help some

[frozenflames]

I'll join...

I'll mod, beta test, and attempt to skin if u need me to.

[Scarecrow]

hyper-aging air= kinda stupid

Well how else do i explain the deaths of all the crew members cept the spartans?

pistol is now weak and takes more than a clip to take down measly elites and not even hunters=REALLY stupid

I didnt mean it that way, this is all developmental notes that i was writing out.

i thought the waepon scheme was kinda neat

I know i took the idea from the halo book, cuz they say something in it about the spartans weapon locker being hit so i removed it

but the whole idea about grunts being really strong and mini-hunters was kinda dumb.

I did it then all i did was reduce the size of the hunters, and it makes it really funny cuz the hunters are all skinny and there spines stay really long.

i suggest you make the grunts funny. get someone that can do a good grunt impression make some hilarious dialouge, like "holy shit! i need a bigger gun!!" or "will you still kill me if i give up?" and, if they are attacking "aaaaaaagigigiya!!" or "you guys rush him. i'll ambush him from the base."

I know just the guy.

i also think that that you should re-think some of the stuff in the game. like the story and other things. just spend more time on it. other than that it sounds neat. i might want to help some

As i said b4 developmental notes that i just came up with, but i want to keep it that the covies appeared friendly and gave us rigged technology so that they could just walk right in and kill us.
If you want to help, heres the bit you can help with. Work out how to make each Spartan a differnt colour, not every spartan a differnt colour, but they can be red and blue etc.

[Burnination]

edit: Jackal....finally.

[rossmum]

"will you still kill me if i give up?"

That sounds about right...I might do that when I get an OGG Converter.

[VoiDeD]

"will you still kill me if i give up?"

And someone that can make his voice sound like a grunt.

[Scarecrow]

I have a friend who can do the voice so easily, so thats done.
--==Halo Reloaded Anouncement==--
Okay, thanks for all those that have helped, but the "modding" Is done, there are three modders, Voided, Hunter and me. Thats just hte modding section, we still need moddlers and skinners for the new models.

So far we have:
MC skins made by Master Spartan 01 which sadly will only be seen on your computer if you have a good gfx card.
We have fully converted each and every level so that all marines humans are spartans (cept in POA where the spartans only replace crewman)

What we still need:
A good BR model and skin
A good Covie Carbine model and skin
A good FP and normal Energy sword model
Some new, camoflage skin (ie. Snow Camo for pelicans in snow conditions, jungle camo for the pelican skin in 343 guilty spark etc.)
More will come

I used to be able to do the best Grunt voice, until my voice broke. Unfortunately I couldn't fix it.
BR: Go to Homefront
Carbine: Talk to cold_FUSION
Camo skins: Me!
Most other models: halohacker123, the best modeller I know.

[Le_Loup]

Regarding sound, vid examples etc, I do have adobe Premier 7 or something, and Sound Forge 7. Plus I do have Adobe Photo shop, and image suite. And I can purchase the "3ds max 6" later on, where if anyone has a clue about NET MEETING, aka, start, run, conf. I can "share" the program specifically, to you, so you can literally "run it" off my computer, and so forth. Especially if you can't shell out the cash for it.

Just thought i'd let you know what i'm available for.

[Scarecrow]

Nice bump

[Scarecrow]

*sigh* unlike you hunter, i actually make friends, this is a perfectly normal bump, the project is going back into full production, and instead of creating a new pointless post, i give them a full description and everyones contributions in one.

*edit* actually can i get a mod to move this to the mod recruitment
Thanks

[Scarecrow]

or howz bout, not spam up the forums with new posts, and just move an old one, with all the info around... hunter stop filling other peoples posts with drivel that has nothing to help contribute to the posts topic.
