Hardcore matrix mod idea

This idea is also outlined in the article Form teams and ideas for a REAL mod here, posted November 29th,2003, by Totally_Tonedef.


FOR MY IDEA!!!!!!!(royal music plays) 8)

To the extent of my knowledge, all of this content SHOULD be possible when SDK comes out.

BEFORE I OUTLINE MY IDEA, I TELL YOU I AM NOT A HALO MODDER NOR HAVE ANY PAST EXPERIENCE IN HACKING OR MODDING. I CAN ONLY COME UP WITH GOOD IDEAS, WHICH I SHOULD RECEIVE CREDIT FOR.

I think we should have a matrix battle, with focus ( to everyone else you are moving fast, but to you it looks like you are moving normal and everyone else is moving slow) button, which, every time you use it, takes away your shields every second, for however long you use, just like you are getting damaged every second by a small amount. There would also be feedback damage.. if you use focus past your shields, it'll start taking away your health. There should also be a slower shield recharge rate.


****IN FOCUS****Also, when in focus your jump should be higher and longer.. you can sort of do a spin..(this is an example, I'm no modder, just an idealist) like inputting the shockwave of getting hit by a rocket that hit right next to you, but didnt actually hit you.. and it does NOT hurt you. that way when in focus you could be dodging bullets in a fun way. Another thing is wall walking.. if you hold down some key(lets say... the flashlight key) you can walk on the walls while in focus.

****OUT OF FOCUS**** (CLUIS HAS ALREADY MADE THIS MOD!! THE ONLY THINGS DIFFERENT ARE PROBABLY THE RATE OF FIRE AND RELOAD. It would be cool if you can get a modded shade. (( One with fast machine gun, like in the chain gun warthog instead of the plasma bolts, that would be like the chaingun in the helicopter. But it shoots 25 rounds per second, and for every 500 rounds you shoot, you would need to reload... Reload time, 3 seconds)) The modded shade should go on top of each base.) The other thing is a new weapon that I think should be implemented into the mod, if possible. The mini-gun, which shoots 50 rounds per second but only has 200 rounds per load. That means you would need killer-aim or short range, as it is only 4 seconds of fire, but it would be devastating.Another thing is a more damaging melee attack. More so, there should be mines, which there is 10 mines that you can pick up, THAT DO NOT RESPAWN. The mines are invisible grenades that you toss on the ground, and when a person steps on the mine, it has a stun duration of 5 seconds, a damage rate that will take off all of your shields and half of your health( to make sure you cannot use focus to run away if no one can see you within the 5 second stun duration) and a value that throws you a bit high in the air when damaged by the mine. NOTE: IF POSSIBLE, WE SHOULD MAKE AN AREA THAT WILL MAKE THE MINE EXPLODE, TAKING ALL OF THESE EFFECTS THAT I HAVE LISTED AGAINST ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THE AREA,INCLUDING WEAPONS,OTHER MINES,PLAYERS,VEHICLES,AND GRENADES.


Please give me credit for everything in this mod(EXCEPT THE MODDED SHADE IDEA) unless you have hardcore proof that someone thought it up and was serious about making it. I will think of more modifications, and edit them to this post. -Demonic Spartan(Nakinjih of Halo PC)

Now how exactly would you make everyone look slow to you and make you look fast to everyone else? If you think about it it may seem to work at first but then you realize its impossible. The best example of matrix effects is The Specialist. Everyone in line of site with anyone in slow motion goes into slow motion themselves. All the others stay normal until they run into a slow motion scenario.

Yeah i was JUST in the middle of making a matrix mod, however you are ALWAYS in bullet time so you can dodge bullets all the time. and when you run you can run off the walls and even on the roof :P, i kinda think that idea is a bit too extreme for a matrix mod but meh ^_^ (actually looks like ur running off the roof too). i removed the shields because it would be too cheap to just shrug off some bullets which you could of dodged(made the crouch speed real fast. im almost done the mod... the map I used was chill out cuz of the hall ways n such.

If you notice, everyone says like this mod... like the bullet time focus idea with things you can do in that time... I have not seen anyone else think that,specifically, up. But whatever.... I just tried to think of something. It could still make an OK mod. Pretty much I've gotten 8 replies and 1 vote...Bad, woohoo...but I made the whole mine thing up. Hey, if you can edit the look of a plasma grenade in photoshop to make it completely invisible, like with active camo or something, make it inactive, but when someone steps on it it acts like an active grenade and explodes, I still think thats a good idea, even if a few things in it can't work.

Whatever. :evil:

Lol... if you mean me, why would I do that? And maybe I'm new to modding, but I've been playing HaloPC and HaloXBox since it came out...and besides, it was just a mod I thought would be cool to think up, so I just posted here. And please don't condescend on us newbies, we're human beings with no experience in certain things :twisted:

if somebody could mod a double speed pickup to run out and have it so with your right trigger (assuming u use a pad) you throw a double speed and have a long reload time so you cant do it again for a while that could kinda work
