Does it really matter?

Just so we are clear, it is NOT Reach. The map name is "Eridanus II". But this is what it will look like for the most part.

There will be absolutely no Covenant at all in this mod.

Yes, it will. We will also have more information to give to the public about the alpha release soon. https://twitter.com/TEI_DevTeam https://www.facebook.com/eridanusinsurrection

Helljumper Helljumper where ya been? Who is ready for PT?

As of 6:20pm CST we are now the 3rd most popular mod on Moddb. http://www.moddb.com/mods/top http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-eridanus-insurrection We have also gained the allowance of a very talented modeller on DeviantArt (http://martynball.deviantart.com/) who has given us full permission to use his models in exchange for credit being given to him. No arguments here, he deserves it for his hard and wonderful work. Go check out his deviantArt page because almost all of his Halo models are going to be used in the mod! Thank you once again, Martynball! EDIT: Number 2 as of 6:35pm. This is getting out of hand lol.

Constructed a basic Moddb page for the modification. Just another place to keep updated with any images/videos/news and as well to get the word out about the mod. http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-eridanus-insurrection/ We are currently the 23rd most popular mod on the entire site as of now, 8/26/2014.

You actually did it. You crazy SOB.

he's done it again!

Just posting to show my support for adding official Oculus VR SDK support for Arma (all Arma games, not just 3 if possible). TrackIR never sat well with me when it came to infantry or vehicle use.

Well, the difference is that all of these alien races are either much larger or much smaller than humans. Technically, it is possible to do them right now but they wouldn't look right. The only alien race I can see functioning right now, is probably the Jackal. This does not mean we are, or ever plan to work on Covenants though. Don't get your hopes up.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Covenant would be interesting. It would be fun. But overall, it would be HARD. There would so many challenges that I'm honestly not sure it is possible. The reasons being there are multiple alien races: Elites (Sangheili), Brutes (Jiralhanae), Hunters (Mgalekgolo), Jackals (Kig-Yar) and Grunts (Unggoy) to name a few. Obviously, they are not human so they have different skeletons from humans which are in Arma. This is the absolute most difficult challenge we would face in attempting something like that. If this was solved, it would be possible and we would even consider it. But as of now, we do not plan on even attempting to solve it. Short answer: no aliens.

Appreciate the references! :)

I too appreciate the small details. :) Don't worry, we'll get it checked out.

The Covenant would be very interesting to include, but due more to the limitations of the Arma engine they are not planned for any kind of release. Spartans, were apart of the Insurrection and are scheduled for a much later in development release if we do decide to do them at all.

We can message the writers of that mod/plugin and see if they are willing to share some creative insight.

Thank you! It is the work of Proto, our friendly neighborhood digital artist. Coming soon, signatures.

Gotta go move cargo, brb

The names are already included in the first post but I'll update with roles.

So glad we brought on a few texture artists to the team. Because this is what they are capable of. http://puu.sh/b1NfO/7878b47813.jpg (114 kB) Dunno about you folks, but I'm super excited for this mod.

Woah.

Concerning the ammo counter, it is absolutely possible. Someone discussed the feasibility and how it would work in the posts farther back and with me in private messages. We will do our best to make it work because it is without a doubt possible.

Holy shit dude... oh my god. I can't contain myself.
