Operation Trebuchet - Total conversion mod for Arma 3

[krycek 349]

Glad to see you guys are still working on Halo.Will you plan to make a new map like New Alexandria or Manassas?

[nightovizard 20]

We're going off reach as the main reference point as it's close to the time period we're shooting for. That isn't to say it's the ONLY halo game we'll look for ideas/inspiration, we still have a rich universe full of things that can't be found in reach.

So using halo reach as an ''Art'' reference and setting, but also using all halos for its content? That sounds very nice I must say. This means that vehicles such as the cougar and the hornet are in. Gladius and wombat may make it too since they were listed in TEI. the sparrowhawk now that you have a nice model may make an appearance too. Unsure about vehicles such as the elephant, wolverine, grizzly, shortsword, rhino, fox cannon, Aardvark and cobra. hope you guys can confirm us all that soon.

Are Spartans still a no-go?

[xxgetbuck123 945]

Upon seeing the thread title, I promptly fell for the impression that this was some sort of Medieval Arma 3 mod... I was wrong. Though that would be awesome!

[js005 13]

Hi

I wish you guys the best of luck, i'm sorry to hear about the dilemma relating to the other mod but hopefully all goes well this time and its good to see this still in action.

Colonel Robert Watts message:

Brothers, sisters, I envy you. To fight the enemy of our nation, to face the people who would deny us even our right to breath, is an honor we all aspire to. Our flag means nothing if not held aloft in the hands of the mighty, and it is you who now carries it!

If the leg goes lame, it must be removed. If the kidney fails, it must be cut out. The body does not live for the individual organs. Sometimes for the body to survive, parts of it must be lost. A good surgeon understands this, and I promise you this: Through YOUR sacrifice, we WILL survive!

War is about action, and what we do in the coming days will prove to the UNSC once and for all, that we will not be dictated to! Death is the only lesson that they will understand!

My brothers and sisters. As of today, you are the hands that bludgeon. The teeth that bite and tear. You are the beating heart of this nation, the vital organ that keeps us alive! With your blood, you nourish us all! My father once said that the greatest weapon a nation possesses is it's people. I never truly understood what he meant until today, but seeing you stand here before me, ready to fulfill the promise of our forefathers-- I finally understand. My brothers and sisters, you ARE Eridanus!

Change is inevitable. No one understands this better than us. We not only embrace change, we bent it to our will, mastered it, and now we must be ready to do it again! Our time has come at last!

We owe our fathers a debt, but we cannot allow the ghosts of their memories to stop us from doing what must be done. They did what they had to in order to survive, and so must we. To those who cling to the old ways, I say this: Do not mourn our fathers, for you shall meet them soon enough.

We stand at the dawn of a new era. At the very precipice of destiny. The UNSC attack us, blind to the threat that even now rises behind them. A glorious sun that signals the beginning of a new day, and that will bath the ignorant in it's flames.

The UNSC want to believe that we're evil! They've convinced themselves that we're sub-human, somehow undeserving of the basic liberties granted so freely to others. They do this to justify their invasion, but remember this: The man who seeks excuses for his action is doomed to fail.

Look up my brothers. Gaze upon the stars and what awaits us once we have dealt with the UNSC. Eridanus is and always will be our home. But the time has come to claim our birth right. To rise up and take back what was stolen from us!

We are Insurrectionists. A name that strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it. We are not the monsters that they claim, but to those who dare trespass on our planet, we will be more frightful than even their worst nightmares.

Are you a true Insurrectionist? The true Insurrectionist knows only hardship. The true Insurrectionist understands that the needs of the many come before the needs of the individual. At a time like this with the enemy at our gates, this nation has space alone for trueInsurrectionist. So I ask you again: Are you a true Insurrectionist?

The Insurrectionists are known throughout the galaxy as a non-compromising people. Our banner strikes fear into the hearts of all who lay eyes upon it, and as you walk under it, know that you are protected because the banner is held aloft by allof us.

The UNSC stole Eridanus II from our fathers, and now they want to take this planet from us? With smiles on their faces and knives hidden at their backs, they talk of peace, but their diplomacy is just another word for thievery. We will not trade words with them, your actions will make our intentions clear enough!

People speak of the cost of war as if it were a simple equation. Let us remind them that no life lost in the service of a nation is wasted. No blood spilled for a worthy cause should be mourned. In the end we pay what we must because we believe it necessary that we do so.

The citizen speaks of opportunity, the bureaucrat speaks of authority, and the diplomat speaks of policy. The soldier does not speak, the soldier acts, and that is why it is the soldier who wins the war.

Many years ago my father was asked: “Are you not afraid?†His reply? “I know why I am here. Why should I be afraid?†Fear is born of uncertainty. We fear nothing because our purpose is clear and our path is certain. To be Insurrectionist is to know your place in the universe, and from that certainty comes the strength to conquer all.

My fellow brothers and sisters. I want to remind you that we are a free people. Free from uncertainty, free from doubt, free and secure in the absolute knowledge that we and we alone are capable of surviving the hardships of tomorrow. That we alone are fit to lead the universe and all it's citizens through the trials that lay ahead.

Earth and it's people are sick. Poisoned by uncertainty. They debate and they doubt, questioning themselves and others, always unwilling to see what is right before them. We will make them see, and as we hold their heads in our hands, they will stare into the face of tomorrow and they will finally understand.

The UNSC are blind to the troubles of the world, and in their ignorance they find comfort. Hope and faith are the rallying cry of the lazy, the excuses of the weak, and yet in the path that lies before us, ALL is hard and filled with the dangers as yet unimagined. If the universe and it's citizens are to make it through, it requires a people with unwavering resolve. A people tempered in their very fires of hardship. It requires us.

Some have called this war unnecessary, but I ask you: Is it unnecessary to protect our children? Is it unnecessary to stand against evil? We do this not because we want to, but because we MUST. Because if we let them, the UNSC will deny us every freedom, every liberty we have worked so hard to obtain.

We Insurrectionists have always been a resilient people. We toil while others complain. We persevere when others give up, and when evil stares us in the eyes: We stare right back. THAT is who we are. Our fathers fought and died for Eridanus and we can do no less.

The UNSC call us tyrants. But their coming here has done nothing but proved themselves to be agents of tyranny! Self appointed defenders of justice? For what right do they have to tell us how to live? What authority do they have over our very lives? We are a free people and we will command our lands and our families as we see fit.

The Earth people are a lost people. They meddle in the affairs of others instead of solving their own problems. Hardship and sorrow add focus and give ones existence meaning. We will help them find meaning.

With our hands we built this planet up from nothing. Our sweat and blood is as much a part of this world as the air we breath, and the UNSC think they can take it away from us? They are either fools or madmen!

There is no understanding without weapons. There can be no dialogue without bloodshed. The UNSC will be made to understand, and that knowledge will be paid for with their lives.

The UNSC speak of innocents, but in war there are no innocents. The Earth people public support their leaders. They elect them into power and they send their children to fight against us. They are ALL guilty, and as any civil nation will agree: The guilty must be punished!

As before, we stand alone. But we stand as one, united. As the combined forces of the UNSC rises against us, we will stamp them back down!

I just want to run around and do ODST things with my Friends, but its good to hear that a halo mod is still being worked on. I had a question, are there any plans for a "Harvest" map?

Currently Harvest Map is not in the works, as of right now. However, considering a lot of the outer colony worlds looked fairly similar to Harvest, I think you will be happy with what we have in store.

---------- Post added at 15:15 ---------- Previous post was at 15:12 ----------

Glad to see you guys are still working on Halo.Will you plan to make a new map like New Alexandria or Manassas?

I think for the moment the only huge city map we are planning for is New Mombasa, but perhaps New Alexandria could be another. It's difficult to create all the buildings needed to piece together a big city like New Alexandria or New Mombasa, but we might be able to figure something out down the road and after New Mombasa.

A small island mostly made of buildings and another big island mostly made of rural settlements sounds wise. Its like Utes - chernarus and altis - stratis.

Both maps could take place in Eridanus II or a planet from the outter colonies.

The big one being mostly a large rural area with some farms, settlements and small towns as well as some UNSC base and military airport and outposts for the rebels to own. There could be a secondary small airport like the ones seen in Altis.

http://www.halobase.de/fileadmin/media/gallery/concept-art/halo-wars-concept-art/halowars_concept_art_55.jpg

The small one would be a ''small'' size map set in the city of Ellysium or Luxor, you could get inspiration from new Mombasa and new Alexandria to make this one and you would have more creative freedom. It would make sense that things happened in one of the outter colonies and not on reach or earth, mostly Eridanus. Quite a lot of buildings would be required, small-medium sized apartments, skycrappers, bridges, space elevator, space port, airport, etc... If you guys decide to make this, it is going to be a hell lot of a work.

Edit:

Even halo legends could be a nice reference for the maps. Just imagine the city you could create just by having other cities as reference and the freedom of shaping it as you wish.

This is so great to hear,A3 will finally get a proper futuristic map.I actually mentioned New Alexandria because I thought you guys dropped New Mombasa when you restarted this mod. Looking at a screenie it seems the streets are big enough and the A3 AI could navigate them.

Also tbh I don't even care about the spartan soldiers,the Halo universe is much bigger than that and being a regular soldier suits me just fine.

[CommanderOfTheJays 10]

Glad the TEI Dev team is back. Also, good to hear that the custom terrains and cities haven't been dropped.

One concern i had with the New Mombasa map though:

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure Arma 3 doesn't handle full-interior skyscrapers very well. So are the buildings gonna have interiors? Or will it just be on the streets?

Probably they'll make a compromise between a few enterable(a few floors maybe?) buildings and non-enterable ones,but yeah I'm curios about this one too.

Light Armor

The marines in winter fatigues in halo wars wear the light armor variant. And the artist who drew the short film Homecoming took that light armor and adapted it for thier episode for halo legends. But it's the same verson of armor. But one is cold weather. Another is warm weather

If I may be honest, New Mombasa wouldn't work in a Insurrectionist war scenarios. A planet like Arcadia, which when you play Multiplayer on Halo Wars you end up fighting Insurrectionist there, would fit better truthfully. It is the planet also see get built up in this Video I will post.

http://www.halopedia.org/Arcadia

"Arcadia was a center of Insurrectionist activity in the 2520s, during which the ODSTs saw combat against them. Among these ODSTs was Cadmon Lasky, brother of Thomas Lasky."

Arcadia has been in the works for awhile, but because of the size and scope of that city my current plans involve more of the suburban parts of the city rather than the massive skyscraper downtown parts. As for New Mombasa, it is the easiest to go forward with just because it is based off of a real location on Earth and the city presents itself as a easy place to make into a smaller map with a lot of structures. Structure wise and how enter-able buildings will be, I think Bradster is the best guy for those type of questions, I will communicate with him though and see if I cant help inform people of his planes there. Also in terms of New Mombasa being applicable to a Insurrectionist war scenario, think of it this way. The Innies blew up a cruise liner that was in Orbit over Reach, the most heavily defended planet in all of human space. If they can do that, I'm sure their must have been attacks on Earth. What better way to make the UNSC give up the outer colonies than to wreak havoc on Earth? Thanks for all the feedback on terrains guys, keep it coming. Also pictures and videos are very welcome, that video of Arcadia was pretty sweet. Also looks like I'm going to have to make a reddit account and go check out the new terrain thread. I'm currently revamping the terrain department, so if anyone wants to join or knows anybody who's good with terrain stuff, send em my way :). I'll be sure to update all of you on progress, and get some WIP screens out shortly.

I still haven't talked to the rest of the team on what the exact style is going to be used for things such as armor and uniforms but I have always liked the Halo CE marine armor. One thing that has to be considered when working in the Halo universe is that artistic style changes per studio and game. Like the first 3 games take place in under a years time so its not like they changed all the marine armor every 2 months, its just what happens when you make new games and those studios make a reason as to why it is that way. But more options are always nice and they all look cool to me. But here is the early CE armor along with the Heavy variant as described( my interpretation at least) in Contact Harvest, though not in the black color scheme. Oh and dont worry about that sniper, its on its way, Just need to redo the parts of the model that are not mine and texture it. As per Dogs needs, If he wants me to ,I plan on making the Halo 3 Marine armor as well because I know a lot of you guys want it.

Enjoy!

We are going to have quite a lot of armors then lol

Army with 2 camo variants, Marines and ODST. Now we are getting 2 more marine armors, 1 light the other heavy, and you want to add Halo 3 marines too? That , sounds gorgeous :D

Though I'm a bit disconcerted, did not you guys wanted to approach to the Reach and H1 anniversary design more? Because HCE marines are quite different from the marines from the other games and the ones you have already in the mod.

Sniper rifle is looking great BTW

Definitely you should create a reddit account there are some very interesting conversations there. About the innies attacking Earth and Reach, it would make sense because they actually did that, at least in Reach. But during Operation Trebuchet they were forced to be at the defensive, UNSC had the initiative there, the innies were defending the outter colonies and the UNSC attacking, not the other way around.

Yeah, Its up to the team I just happened to already be working on these.

[scourgedude 1]

I was under the impression that the mod would focus on the reach style of armour and weapons, but that sniper looks a little more like the model from Halo 3.

Don't get me wrong though, it still looks great.

We will most likely will be turning more towards Reach. They do look great though.

[LykosMactire 298]

In my free time waiting for my first assignment i practically redid most of the army textures so that they look more canon and Reach-esque (since they were known to be dealing with innies on reach also)

[ltfrankie 1]

Please add them. More variety is always good. They can always be used for individuals, people who want another "Halo" style OPFOR or modders who prefer the Halo:CE look and use that for their missions.

As for the maps, I'm happy you going with cities. Thematically, cities suit Halo because of how there's so much urban combat and how the game takes place in pretty close quarters. Maybe you can use some low-graphic models to get a bigger city, like that one Baghdad map that was ported from ArmA?
