The video has been released, so what is your opinion about it?

 

I think that the music at the begining isnt good, and that it is stupid that needlers shots dont stuck inside your body, they just explode as a plasma rifle shot. It still has frame rate problems, but there was a thing that  I really liked on it, it is that warthrog can trample the covenants. the mac gun shots look like a Age of mithology God power, that i cant remember right now.

 well, it's a shame that they didnt use the voice of sheila the tank from RVB as the scorpion voice. Also it is a shame we didnt see how the vehicles got to the main battle, the scorpions and wolverines just appeared, did they come by pelican or that other UNSC carrier (shame on me for forgetting the name).

sorry to nitpick, and i know that the game is still WIP so dont flame me please, but when he sent units to positions, they didnt go very close to eachother did they? It was like the infantry squads weren't allowed within 7 feet of eachother. I like the hawks, but i don't understand why they weren't used against the banshees unless they are purely air to ground units. And when the scarab was owning the UNSC units, it cut through it's own leg lol. And it will be interesting to see what role the rhino plays seeing as we already have the scorpion, maybe it is an artillery unit which fires long distance.....oooh...

Hey for everyone who has the video, stop the play at 00:47 and look at the top-sligtly left of the screen and you will see a texture gap :P

Hey guys i didn't notice a command point restriction or unit limit..... If there isnt a unit limit i will fall in love..... :D 

 What a great video!!!

The warthogs seemed to..spac out a bit..when they engaged in the main battle

And things seemed very static when they died..like when the grunts got shot by a tank..they simply died ont he spot..instead of going flying..but the methane tank blowing up was good

Only other things are the weapons..they don't seem like proper halo weapons..like the marines threw two grenades into the grunts, the grunts were still standing and just shrugged it off..

Also, the SoF must be like the most powerful ship in the UNSC fleet if it has 6 MAC's..

And, on the subject of MAC's..they went too slow..they came down more like bombs than a round going at a fraction of the speed of light..but i did like the scope veiw that came up when he was directing the MAC(s)

Other than that stuff, it looks ready to ship in my opinion..

I say the same to, but i could have swore when the first tank shot i saw grunts flying, also the ghost just sat there and burnt instead of going 25 feet in the air. But let us not forget its still in production.

Yup also they probably do know our constructive critisism due to this was way back at e3 not just recently made. And i'm pretty sure we let them knew all the problems we found......including that *** tree....

Anyways, It was pretty good, but I noticed the Demo did nt show all of the UNSC vwhicles, not even in the circle menu thingy. The Cougar wasn't there.

And I hope there is more than 1 kind of infantry squad for the UNSC becuase I saw at least four for the covies.

Grunt squad with Needlers

Grunt Squad with fuel rod cannons

Grunt squad with Plasma Pistols

Elite squad.

Oh, and i noticed all of the plasma was green, when some if it should have been blue.

and?

NVM, just saw u finished a post with And there Seath, odd...

Anyway i wonder if this is going to be the first game in a long time to have no unit limit.... The last game i can remember without a limit was Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun....ahh...good times :D

 EDIT: Seath i reckon there will be also in the UNSC infantry:

Snipers

Rocketmen

maybe Medics

maybe Engineers for capturing enemy buildings like in C&C

according to the vehicle depot stats, the rhino has a much weaker weapon than the scorpion, but a bit more armor, also, the image of it almost resembled a nod stealth tank from command and conquer, so it might be a fast attack vehicle. 

Also, what was up with the Spirit of Fire firing SIX mac rounds at once? the Sprit of Fire must either have six cannons, two cannons similar to the POA's (which doesn't make sence because the POA's cannon was experimental), or it coordinated fire with other ships in orbit.

the names chief, master chief

The rhino in the concept art looks like a scorpian which extra armour plating added to it, and from the thumb nail from the demo it looks like it has a gun alot bigger than the scorpian's..so it may be some kind of either heavy tank or heavy artilery..but the armour plating points more towards a tank

maby its using the splinter MAC round and its coming down in pieces?

 

the mac shots were also tiny....

I used to have an awesome signature that linked to my comic here...

too bad... goodbye any feeling of personalization on the HWF... 3 years of sig making for this website down the drain

Why can't a MAC fire faster than you think? Hmm? meh, what do i know, i'm just a newb!

Krazy thinks the MAC shots were tiny, lets fire one at KRAZY, lets see if you think it's so tiny then!

only jking lol, i slightly agree, the MAC shots would be tiny but then they would be tiny, if it was true that the POA's MAC was experimental and i am assuming it (is, was, will be? it is a game made in the past but set in the future!) was, and HW is set before discovery of the ring (as far as we know), then maybe these are prototype MACs, and, like evolution of life, things start small, then get bigger.

Why does it take TWO MAC shots to kill a scarab though? It looked pretty useless after the first, so why does it take another to make it go BOOM, or maybe the downed scarab can be repaired like a C&C3 Juggernaught.... 

 EDIT: isnt there already a thread like this anyway? can someone merge them maybe?

I don't think we should pout about a nicely polished game that is mearly half way in production, this is just a taste of what we will be playing.  I didn't like the grenade though, or the needlers, how they exploded on sight insteade of bounsing(sp?!!) or sticking, that was completely unacceptable for a final version, but seeing as this is mearly half way, I won't complain, presuming that they fix it...
