What's with all the name changes? Anyways, easter eggs would be nice! And speeches as in in-game voices? If that's going for the marines (And ODSTs, Elites, Brutes, Grunts) then it'll be great!
Lastly, TYPOS! I can tell that English isn't your first language (Is it?), the entire News is still understandable though! So don't worry :)
FluxedIce has been changing the name alot, although this is the first time I change the name, and we had an agreement so we settled with Halo War of the Covenant. Yes, lots of easter eggs. Yes in game voices ripped from all Halo games except Halo 4.
English was not my first language, but it is my primary language, due to me not having good English at first when I was going to school, I failed horribly in English courses, but I am making up for it now by reading Dictionaries and taking online and offline English courses.
No wonder you guys changed it several times already, the name doesn't sound that great, but it does give us all a general idea of what's the game about. But don't you think it's breaking Microsoft's Game Content Usage Policy? I reckon no game should have the name Halo in it, be it free or paid.
Also, glad you're improving! A good English isn't necessary here, it's not my first language either, but if you're trying your best to improve.. Well, I know for sure you'll succeed!
And why wouldn't you use the voices from Halo 4? My guess is because the title suggests that the game takes place within the Covenant War only, and not the war after Humanity (And Sangheili) won. But I could be wrong :P
As long as I don't advertise the game or sell the game, I think it's fine, plus why create something if you don't wan't people copying it? To me that seems rather selfish. As for the Halo 4 voices or sounds there is quite a few reasons for that, the game is fairly new, I don't have an XBox 360 nor a copy of Halo 4, I am a PS3 fan, I am only simply working on this game to help out FluxedIce, I have read the Halo Books. I am also not using any resources for partly the reason that you just stated, and also because it's incredibly hard to find good resources of the sounds from Halo 4. Although I am ripping a few sounds from Halo 1 and 2.
It does sound selfish.. A PS3 fan who works on a Halo project is intriguing, are you doing this out of interest as well and not just for the sake of helping a friend out?
So the sound assets will come mostly from the first 2 Halos, does that mean that you won't use Halo 3 though? And will there be custom voiced characters?
And finally, Out With a Whimper was intended to be Firefight, and I noticed that you didn't mention anything about that. Will it be here?
My brother has a huge collection of downloaded Halo 3 and Halo Reach sound effects, and some from Halo 1 and 2, and as you already know a lot are coming from the first 2 Halo's, maybe not so much Halo 2 because there sound Fx to me were not all that great. Custom voiced characters is a no due to me not being a good sound editor and not having much other people on my team to help me.
I knew I was forgetting something. Oops! Yes the game will contain Firefight, this Firefight unlike regular Firefight will have A'I marines which get dropped off, how ever they get dropped off in groups of 4, and get dropped off every other round.
Alright then, will the Flood be there though?
And the Firefight you're planning sounds cool!
The story seems kind of weird, eh. Also, this sounds really ambitious, but hopefully you can get it done. Can we seen a screenshot or two?
Yeah the story momentarily is weird and off, but I am working on it, the mini Story is just to give the basics of the game. Although you will be credited in game if you can come up with a great story to match the title. It may sound ambitious, but 90 percent of the things I listed are easy for me to code/script and create. Forge World is the only exception. I will be posting a youtube video as soon as I can get more gun sounds, more gun types in the game and some more enemy variants.
Sweet, maybe you will post the story somehow? That way you can get feedbacks on improving the story so it won't be horrible.
But keeping it for you guys will give you guys the element of surprise.. Well, it's up to you guys! :D
The story is a mix of all kinds of things, probably explains why its simply horrible right now, the story is a mix from the Books, The Halo Series, and Triblox's Halo Olympus along with our own story.
Okay that's one hell of a mess XD
Well, good luck binding them up! Hopefully it will be a memorable story unlike Spartan Assault!
Spartan Assault was pretty fun, just that they could of done a lot better with a 2-D game, I mean I feel like this Halo game might be on the same level as it or even higher. I give Spartan Assault a 7/10.
My biggest issue with that game is the background music, it feels like Halo, but it totally doesn't fit..
Your game won't be as good as Spartan Assault. Spartan Assault was made by a huge team of dev's, you are just a one or two man team.
