I know it’s been a while since our last update, and the reason for was that we had a HUGE blowout update. That update will come soon, and I will talk more about it at the end. This is a small update, just on two of the new maps.

First thing we have to show is the new map “Abandoned” which is a Derelict based map, on Delta halo, designed by teh_lag. The inside structure is similar to that on Derelict, as seen in the pics, but it is now a forerunner ruin, complete with gravity lifts and RTR water. The big change is that there are blast doors, which open up as the player nears. In some games these blast doors will be locked so that the gameplay is constricted to the center of the map (oddball, slayer). You can see the blast doors below, along with the “Mystery Man” who we will touch on next update. I know parts of him look ugly, mainly the waist, it’s been fixed. Don’t worry about performance issues on this map, I get 130 FPS in pretty much all the locations. You can view all the pics in the link below.

The other map we have to show is the newly redone Cliffrun, by Firedragon. Sporting two Vahala bases, do not get it confused as a Valahala rip off. As you can see in the pics, there is a cave structure(also with RTR water, did I mention CMT likes RTRs?) There is no Man Cannon in this map, although it will probably be added in the H2 version of the mod.

Yes, I know it’s short, next update will feature some of the new content being added and changed from what we have learned about H3, expect to see some stunning stuff never done in CE with the Spartan Laser, which is being modeled and skinned by Scooby. Also, expect to learn who the mystery man in the blast door pic is, and by that time he (or is it a she) will be fully skinned. Also in the next update, if not then in one soon after, expect to see pics of the new CMT mod, running on an engine that is NOT HaloPc/CE. Until then, happy speculating :-D

How can you design a map on something you know next to nothing about?

darekster2ongame, actually there is information about 3 halo 3 multiplayer maps from websites such as 1up who have had first hand experience with halo 3 multiplayer.

I know that, but the descriptions are vague. Nobody knows how new weapons handle, new features handle, or even how the HUD looks...

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Halo 3 Demo is coming out soon, so we will know a lot by then (maybe March?)...that's when I would assume lots of the Halo 3 maps are made by CMT.

I know how most weapons will act: It's pretty self explanitory.

Needler: Little better than Halo's homing and damage but with a slower ROF

AR: 1.5x as much damage and a lot more accuracy than Halo's AR. Slower ROF

Spiker: Like the new Needler, Orange spines/spikes, very fast ROF (Halo 2 E3 Demo Needler) with no tracking, and pretty accurate when not dual wielding.

Rocket: Like the one in Halo....

Galileian: 3 second charge, unlimited range, no auto aim, splash damage = 1.5 Rocket's, looks like Sentinal beam, but crimson colored.

BR: Fixed (not random) bullets in the burst to reduce Host advantage, maybe a quicker ROF and less auto aim

Shotgun: More range, fixed cone of fire, slower reload and melee

SMG: Quicker ROF, more accurate (less spread), less range, slower reload

Sword: Less range, only lunge from ground, battery like in campaign

Pistol: 4SK or 5SK (Yes, they are testing it according to Frankie)

If you saw it on HBO, you'd know what I'm talking about ;)

They're testing it in Halo 3, and he said "The Pistol, as it operated in Halo 1, does not work for Online play" because with him, there was not enough variety (We know what that means when people can keep getting killed by the Pistol!).

That's why I think it will come back the same, but with one or two more shots to kill.

Hey, it may have been in every humpday. They only told us about a few weapons, I haven't even heard anything on the Plasma Rifle yet.

ALERT! ALERT! H3 DISCUSSION! ALERT!
I swear, if they remove/-blam!- up the PR...
Well, I'd probably just mod one in. Two, maybe. A BR version of the PR would be nice.

Lol, I hope the PR comes back like in Halo...no more half-gun bull-blam!-! And are you sure you could mod a 360? Or are we talking about CMT's Halo 3 mods?

  • 11.18.2006 10:21 PM PDT

CMT Mod team leader

AFAIK you can't mod a 360. In our mod, the pistol, pr, pp, shotgun and rocket launcher are exactly the same as h1, just with new shaders and animations.

I don't think the pistol will be back in h3. For our mod, we wanted the pistol and BR, we decided the Grenade launcher would make them equal, pistol is faster and stronger, but the BRG can do sharp shooting zoomed and has anti-vehicle capabilities, and we made the grenades for it not effective on ground soldiers.

It's not a demo, it's a public beta. There's a huge difference.

I doubt they would keep the same quick ROF if they made it a lot more accurate and powerful. No balance there.
