Re: A Public Service Announcement
I didn't have an account on the forums. I think I found out about it shortly after development stopped, and scoured the internet for months looking for all the demos. I have found a copy of the sprite dump and some (maybe all, no way to be sure) of the music made for the game.
Sadly, whether because of windows 8 or who knows what, if I fire to many bullets, (sometimes less than an assault rifle clip) the game crashes. I have lots of fun in forge where I can moderate the amount I shoot, but the AIs are trigger-happy and crash the game almost instantly. Every time I hear a plasma pistol I didn't shoot fire, I cringe because I know it will crash soon.

Re: A Public Service Announcement
The devs got bored and didn't have enough money to support the website.
I was talking with one of the devs "Kill Pill" the night he closed it down if u guys saw what he was working on ... u would be even more depressed :( well at least i have some of the code from the final build that was never released :) haha man i miss the development of that game! and it was easy too it was all written in GML with C++ -.- i tried talking him out of leaving the project but meh they are working on a new one now Woo :P

Re: A Public Service Announcement
Wait, you have some of the code? What parts? Or do you have a whole GMS project that was never released?

Re: A Public Service Announcement
Sadly the admins completely scrapped the owaw engine they were working on and started anew. The code i have only has some features like firefight, invasion, forge, armour changes and a working visor mode :Pect
and one campaign map that has no ending. The condition that i got in order to receive this code though was that i must not give it to anyone else it was only for personal study and I'm not allowed to continue working on it :(which is a shame in a way.
Besides i doubt many people would want to create a 2D halo game our days anyway :Pand i wouldn't be good for much either xD

Re: A Public Service Announcement

Re: A Public Service Announcement
imagine firefight with objectives like capture this capture that and if you lose you switch teams :P( you switch teams if you win as well haha )so you get to play as covenant versing spartans ect you also get team AIs anyway its incomplete so its all buggy

While not all of these supposed Halo 5 leaks are ours, we would like the time to point out the ones that are ours and include their original forms in this half-update. These are screenshots from a quite old build (about 10 months old to be exact), using assets that are either planned to be updated or changed completely, so nothing concrete yet. We apologize that our latest update was brought out by an unintentional leak and contains old/unused assets. We are currently investigating the situation, at this time we do not know who had posted these images without our permission, or who tried to pass them off as halo 5 leaks. We are investigating the situation and are treating the matter very seriously.
Thanks for your support thus far.
The unedited versions of the images are found bellow:

Spartan II HUD Test, note that this is not the final in game hud, this was a simple set of overlay images to allow the UI artists to get an idea of what the HUD might look like in game
I just noticed something on the bottom corner of the last picture with the ODST HUD. It says jetpack then under that it says bio foam. Does that mean that bio foam is a pick up item?

Re: A Public Service Announcement
It would appear so. Or maybe that's only in singleplayer/firefight/firefight equivalent.
Heatguts
Re: A Public Service Announcement
I think it's like 'equipment' but as you can see, there's 4 slots so maybe you can pick up more equipment, and press 1-4 to use. Or maybe biofoam and jetpack are permanent/default.

Re: A Public Service Announcement
Spartans don't need biofoam though, its built into their suits. Unless its an ODST, which is supported by the fact that the hand holding the carbine has fingerless gloves like ODST's, but there's still the shield bar on the hud though.

This would probably become a result because of Contingency WIP, with temporary placeholders and such.

I'm too lazy to look, so... -_-
So, Project Contingency IS going to have a campaign right? Just really wanting to know. I hope there is.

Re: A Public Service Announcement
Covenant Phantoms and weaponry suggest either a campaign or at the very least a Spartan Ops/Firefight mode of some sort. AKA thar be aliens in them there game.

I would rather have Firefight then Campaign
More replayability!

I meant , at that time, what kind of dumb question is that, but now I realize that it's not such a dumb question afterall.
Firefight in Reach was ok, but the Campaign was better. Not even going to bother with ODST. We should just have them both.RockMetal&Time wrote:

However that might not be the case as they maybe won't have the resources to do so.

Re: A Public Service Announcement
If they have campaign, then it isn't unrealistic to expect firefight too. I mean, the scripting difference isn't huge, just endless waves with extra variables detecting progress. It ain't rocket science.

Re: A Public Service Announcement
Guess what they said to the rocket scientists? "It's not like you're building a giant atom bomb!"
Guess who proved them wrong?
...ballistic missle creators.
