RuneStorm :: View topic - Halo 3 Weapon Pack

Runestorm have said in the past that they only make unique content, they do not want to copy from other games, and I agree with their opinion 100%.
Also, official development of BW came to a stop a long time ago, so you are at the mercy of the community to make this idea reality. (Why Runestorm decided to leave BW in a buggy and messy state I do not know though, it sure isn't going to look good on the track record when they want to go commercial.)

We sorta have a Halo style weapon in BW in the form of the HMC-117 Photon Cannon. It's been designed to act like a combo of the Sentinel Beam and the Spartan Laser. Even its name is a call to the series.

I don't think anyone'll be making a full scale Halo 3 pack anytime soon, though. That stuff takes a team and lots of time to do.

Sorry, I have to ask the question:
Why do you want weapons from a game which has a good multiplayer put into a game which also has a good multiplayer, but will require everyone to find this specific mod to be able to play?

If Halo 3's multiplayer was horrific I would understand but it just seems a waste of time for a serious project. If you were practising porting then I would understand that...

P.S I mean no offence, just that it makes little sense to me and if I don't ask I will never know ^-^

Hey, I'm new here as you can see and I think it's only proper to, first, say that I love BW. Who doesn't though I guess. Anyway, I was thinking of a halo weapon pack. Now I don't know whether that would qualify for a cease and desist letter as the pack would not be sold for money so I think it would be legally possible. I have read the topic "A word on ideas... " however and I am pretty sure that you guys probably won't bother with this since I can't meet you guys halfway at all with any of this (No skills I can use whatsoever to make even a bit of it on my own.) But maybe you guys might be on the off chance, interested in such an undertaking as I think it would be rather great.

Its not that buggy. I barley get any crashes. Slow downs sometimes, but that's because I have Bloodlife = 0

It never crashes for me, but I have rarely had a bug-free match before. And it is a mess; the complexity of the file structure makes no sense, nor do the several layers of naming schemes, and they did not even remove the dependency on BallisticV2.u, despite V21 including all the code from it and more. BW is like an abandoned construction site. But that is not the point of this thread so let's leave it at that.

I was very prepared for a 'no' so it's no loss. Besides the official devs. of BW, does anyone in the community have an interest at all in this? EDIT: Oh, and I've never gotten any crash yet. Works good except for when I'm using loadout for bots. I will submit a post about that later though.

I don't suppose... maybe just the weapons? Because the weapons are really what I'm actually looking for.

Acctually, I want to see this done. The "Halo UT" mod failed trajically on weapons. There were only 3 weapons out of the like 20 there was. The three was the assualt rifle, the plasma rifle and pistol. I want to see Runestorm do this with the awesomeness that has been shown through the Ballistic Weapons mod. If you can allow me, I will put a full list of the names, what they look like (for those who don't know) and go into detail about how much damage they do. Don't know how your gonna pull off the gravity hammer. Oh well. I hope this can be underway.

Will there be the newer versions of the halo guns from Halo Reach, such as Assault rifle, DMR, focus rifle and so on

I like UT's combat system. 4. I like to mix and match weapons.

I'm locking this. You guys have bumped this thread at least 4 times now. As for the original topic, I seriously doubt that a Halo weapon pack will be made.
