Shaban, there's certain forums for you to go put those questions, and this is not the place.

by Zeph3r March 27th 2014, 11:30 am

So . . . the next news update will be in 2015?

Or sooner?

You guys have really got to show us, the community, what's going on.

Or maybe nothing at all is going on . . . that could be it . . . :(

I fear this to be true.

This could be another OWaW in the making.

Anyway this thread isn't about Owaw! we must not let contingency die out fans :L the community should keep it alive!

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.

I loved the OWAW demo, I wondered what happened to it...
shame... :(

by xNFx Monsta April 17th 2014, 11:17 pm

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

by Heatguts April 17th 2014, 11:43 pm

Wait, you have some of the code? What parts? Or do you have a whole GMS project that was never released?

by xNFx Monsta April 18th 2014, 5:13 am

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
A Public Service Announcement - Page 3 Screen10

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

by Heatguts April 18th 2014, 10:07 am

What exactly is invasion? I never got that gamemode cleared up.

by xNFx Monsta April 18th 2014, 11:24 am

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

by Heatguts April 19th 2014, 8:47 pm

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up.

by UltimateCovie97 April 21st 2014, 6:16 pm

Wow, havent been on here in forever! The pic look awesome guys even if they are old! Keep up the great work! Good to see that everyone is still just as psyched!

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:

Another screenshot of one of our maps

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?

by Heatguts April 29th 2014, 8:56 pm

It would appear so. Or maybe that's only in singleplayer/firefight/firefight equivalent.

by Jaing April 29th 2014, 9:19 pm

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.

by SilentGamer64 May 2nd 2014, 11:26 am

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.
