Anything is possible, it's only a matter if someone figures it out or not.

I have looked at the forge mpas, and I have extracted some files from the CON files there in, nothing interesting though. I would guess its a sctipt that tells the engine to place certain objects at certain points.

Hey korn, how come only 2 elephants in the pic cast a shadow, and in the other the rockets come out above the gun around shoulder level. Lastly, the beam projectile from the shotty seems to be coming from a different angle?

Mostly due to the angle they're positioned from the sun and their distance from the observer I guess. I'm assuming its due to how the AR's projectiles are setup. I can record videos now if you are in disbelief. Different angle?

The projectiles spawning positions weren't ever setup exactly aligned with the barrel in Halo 2 either, I assume this is because Bungie never actually intended on anyone being able to see the bullets coming out of the gun.

The rendering engine prioritizes levels of detail. It anticipates real time shadowing for two Elephants on that map, so more get pushed aside and the resources are devoted elsewhere.

Projectiles always come out of the visor-level, on all guns. They shoot from the visor because that's where your reticle is, it isn't accurate in third person, and it hasn't been in any Halo game.

Likely a result of the same as the previous issue.

Jeah but something new would be cool to show us that you guys straight work on that thing

Like a light on the end of the tunnel ^^

You guys straight work on something?...
This site is compiled primarily of English users, and based in the US.
If you want to post, post in comprehensible English.
And yes, I know you're from Germany...
But it's an annoyance and an issue at this point. All you're doing is having an inability to contribute to threads and cause confusion.
For reference, this thing doesn't usually bug me...

Anyways: There isn't anything to prove...
Light at the end of the tunnel for what? He has something you can't and won't have. A devkit.

I know.
And yes, Iam from Germany.
Born in Britain but living in Germany, my writting is not that good but Im understanding everything and I never seen an American or Canadian who doesnt understand me.

Hmm...ok
Then he have a DevKit ... and now ?
I doesnt really think that hes a better person now or that his opinion is more worth than mine.
I just think that you guys just should show a little bit of your stuff.
I read all the time that you guys COULD do it...
...
You can ?

And I never said that anyone have to prove anything, just want to see a little progres.

PS:
Why do you think I would have no XDK ?

Or the Software + Bios + Kernel of it ?
