Glad to see Halo is still alive in Arma, looks like you guys lost one but grew so much more, there is quite a lot of new talented people. Looks like zero and thedidact have returned too. Can't wait to see the planned assets, though im a bit worried about what you said in the subreddit, about limiting the content to halo reach... Shouldn't you try to pick up the best of every halo game? We will not see halo wars vehicles? Halo 3 elephant/hornet? Halo reach content is quite limited.

Looks like the solution is creating a new halo mod, TEI will not receive any more updates, source: http://www.reddit.com/r/EridanusInsurrection/comments/31lvvl/priority_message_incoming/ http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?190567-Operation-Trebuchet-Total-conversion-mod-for-Arma-3 Also the covenant may make an appearance: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?190585-WIP-Halo-Covenant

Guys... Let's just have hope and wait, 9th MEU is hosting a conversation that may fix at least some of the issues, we all love halo too much to let it die this way, and despite their actions I'm sure the devs think the same way, they'll find a way.

Here is the thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/EridanusInsurrection/comments/31k0i8/officially_pulling_mine_and_the_teams_content/

I agree, spacenavy gathered amazing people, by just losing 1 of them the mod development is going to be compromised. I'm afraid that losing that many people will cause some planned assets to be cut off, and other kind of issues... What was going to take weeks now could take months. Who is still in the team? It all depends of how many have left. Edit: Scorch, Stirls, and thedog88 left, spacenavy is still awaiting a reply from the rest. Looking at the problems with Unikraken and Zero I'll assume they will not return either, same for theDidact. Basco is probably still around as well (Or not?) as Helljumper501st. Who else? McChaffee? EvanCat? From what I have rad here all of them are gone: http://www.reddit.com/r/EridanusInsurrection/comments/31k0i8/officially_pulling_mine_and_the_teams_content/

Looks like the thread has been re-open, any news regarding the future of the mod?

I'm sorry to hear spacenavy had to leave, but at least the mod continues and i am glad for that, after this kind of situations most mods stop its development and I was really worried the same could happen to you. Nice to see the sniper and the lift feature ingame BTW!

I agree it's been a while and I couldn't wait for this next update, I'm only worried this may cause problems inside your team as some of them don't want us to use this update. Also this update has introduced bugs that crashes the game but mostly are caused by the new assets, the assets from the last version work fine and even better as the issues have been fixed. Notice that I never said that you should not have done that. I was only worried about the possible consequences and problems of this update. I'm just going to say, keep up the good work, I hope you can get a hotfix soon :) EDIT: - MA5B automatic firemode does not work. - Marine corpsman does not have night vision. - Something is wrong with the collision model of the falcon, only missiles can take it down, bullets go through it. - Sometime when the falcon explodes game crashes. - Falcon has guided AT missiles? - 20 mm pelican autocannon uses 30 mm rounds. - 20 mm falcon autocannon uses 6 mm rounds. - Spawning longswords crashes the game. - Scorpion is not yet usable. - Frigate has no collision, yet it has an interior, but you cannot land anything neither walk around the inside.

I'm a bit worried about that reply, let me specify why I said that: Sins of the prophets did a similar thing, they released an update that added a supercarier ,which is quite buggy and game crashing, because of the 1st of april. So I thought this was the same, an update for us to enjoy but incomplete and with bugs. I personally enjoyed it, I really wanted to fly the falcon and see the frigate myself, noticed that there are longswords and scorpions, but game crashes when I spawn them. Game also crashes sometimes when the falcon explodes, gunship pelican turret has a very bad precision, bullets pass through the falcon without damaging it, etc. I just hope that this release does not affect your team, not everyone agreed with that release.

I consider this an April fools update lol , quite a lot of bugs and issues, but still flying a falcon is priceless. Just one thing, In the editor description it says the pelican uses 20 mm rounds, but actually ingame it uses 30 mm, I don't know if you guys are going to use either 20 or 30 at the end, most likely 30. Rockets and missiles will be added later I suppose. Marine and green pelicans are the same. Falcon it's supposed to use 20 mm rounds not 6 mm, and a secondary burst firemode. The side HMG are 12.7x99mm. And guided AT missiles in the falcon? Wow I wasn't expecting that. The rest are some bugs and game crashes, but those just require a fix. For example part of the leg of the driver of the stallion is outside the door, etc.

I will answer him in Spanish. Primero de todo bienvenido, es normal que vayas perdido si eres nuevo, en este foro hay muchisima actividad. Las armas aun no estan terminadas, aunque seguramente ya lo esten para la siguiente version, mira esta web: http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-eridanus-insurrection/images/srs99-am-wip-picture#imagebox En el filtro busca UNSC o Eridanus tanto en nombre del servidor como misiones, te apareceran unas cuantas. Te diria las IPs pero no las recuerdo. Si tienes preguntas mirate el primer mensaje de la primera pagina, FAQ seguramente tendra las respuestas. Un saludo.

Looks like this is pretty much what you needed: Which means you are going to add at least an Elite right? (Jackals would be nice too, after all they had contact with insurrectionists and shared their weapons). In my view the assets considered to be the covenant arsenal (If ever) should be: Plasma grenades, Type 25 directed energy rifle (SMG), T-55 Directed Energy Rifle/Advanced (Riflemen), Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol , Type 51 Carbine (Marksman) , Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle, Type-52 Guided Munitions Launcher/Explosive (AA/AT) and Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon (Static). Type-55 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun (Static) Type-26 Anti-Air Stationary Gun (Static) Type-26 Anti-Vehicle Stationary Gun (Static) Melee weapons, not sure if those could work in Arma. Needler would be OP as its projectiles follow objectives. Elites would not use brute stuff. Vehicles: Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform (Those things are so OP but so awesome), Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft , Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage, Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery, Type-51 Individual Breaching Carapace, Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle , Type-46 Infantry Support Vehicle, Type-29 Troop/Vehicle Transport, Type-30 Light Excavation/Anti-Fortification Platform, Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter , Type-25 Troop Carrier and Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage. Spirit would perform better than the phantom in arma 3. No brute vheicles unless brutes are added, but that would be massive work to do. Meanwhile I'll keep dreaming.

Now that I think about it, shouldn't the barricades be in Misc. Objects/Buildings? After all, these are found both in ground and inside ships. Or you did not consider adding them? I think they would be a great addition, a frigate corridor full of these would be awesome, and you could use them to make cool bases. http://hce.halomaps.org/images/files/lg/117218276-4.jpg http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6183 http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090613101634/halo/images/d/d8/HCE_Barrier.png https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2270/1980207347_63c67749f9.jpg

Could someone port the VF-1S from arma 2 to arma 3? http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14518 and maybe: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14491

HYPE! Any chances for an ''Incredibly Serious Falcon Demo''? Just like: http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-eridanus-insurrection/videos/incredibly-serious-pelican-demo#imagebox But hopefully it flies better. Also not sure if you have read all the comments in: http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-eridanus-insurrection/images/uh144-falcon-wip/#5173859 EDITED: I was messing around with some arma 2 addons, and I found this: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14518 It is a shame it has not been pored to arma 3 already, but that is not the reason of this post. It uses some pretty good scripts such as an afterburners mode that changes wing position, and a VTOL mode that makes the engines move. It has some burst effects and quite powerful weapons. In addition the sound engine is soo cool 3:15 : I think it could be a great influence and reference for the Gladius. The only problem is that the creator is not around here anymore, so there is no way to ask him permission to use his stuff :/

M638 Autocannon, explosive rounds of 20 mm. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/M638_Autocannon looking awesome. I suppose the turret its not going to be able to rotate (unless you have come up with something), but nice to see that the pilot will be able to shoot something, even if it is a forward fixed weapon :) nnniice, that is going to be a nice AA turret to protect the frigate from possible aerial assaults :) 50 mm projectiles are quite powerful: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/M910_Point-defense_gun Looks like they used some kind of gatling guns too: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/AAA_Helix_Gun Archer missiles could work as artillery maybe: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Archer_Missile ''and Archers may be used in support of ground forces, launched from orbit to strike a ground-based target.[5] '' Of course they also used shiva nuclear warheads and MACs, but I think that is too much powerful for the player to use.

I also can't wait for the longsword, that thing is going to be huge! But I think they are going to introduce the Gladius first unless they have done progress with the longsword, not sure if they have already started modeling it or if they are going to use a model from someone else and make it higher poly. When It comes to gunships, yeah we were discussing if the sparrowhawk should be added. At first I really supported the idea but there are some problems with it: - It has capacity only for 1 pilot, which means that it's not going to be able to move the turret due to the way Arma 3 works (That's the problem with the falcon too). The cockpit could be edited to allow 1 pilot and 1 co-pilot to fit in, but that would change its design and it would differ from its original looks. - The landing gear it's very strange and overall the design is quite awkward, I tried to workaround with it to make it look more like an actual gunship, but still the devs were not happy with it. - It uses laser weaponry, and that would have to be changed too. The Pelican would be a good gunship though, the only problem is that due to it's size its quite vulnerable. It withstands infantry and light vehicles quite well, so it would work great as a CAS gunship supporting infantry, it is hard to take one of these down. And while the machinegun turret would work really well, the rockets and missiles would not be stable as they are placed below the wings, and those wings move when it flies. so for example, you would have 1 rocket pod facing upwards, and the other downwards. Trying to aim with that is going to limit the maneuverability of the aircraft, and even tanks could be able to hit it and destroy it before the pelican positions itself to aim and fire the scorpion correctly. against infantry and light vehicles that would not be a problem at all, so its going to be a gunship to support infantry and eliminate hostile infantry, but not really for hunting down heavier vehicles. Then my suggestin would be, since the devs plan to add the hornet, they could make a heavier variant of it with AT and AA missiles. http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/306/f/6/mv_14b_hornet_by_splinteredmatt-d4etql0.png I think that would be an effective and easy fix, and it would fill in that gap. Of course it would loose the transport capabilities of the normal hornet. To sum up we would have: Pelican - MI-24D Hind Falcon - UH-60 Black hawk with an additional fixed frontal weapon. Hornet - AH-6/MH-6 Littlebird Super Hornet (AV-14B Super Hornet) - KA-52 Alligator The KA-52 Alligator its basically a tank hunter that lacks any turret, but instead it has fixed mounted machineguns, rockets and missiles. I really hope the devs like this idea.

http://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/542/541153/HMG-38-concept.3.jpg Did a custom more detailed magazine, but this is just for reference you don't need to copy it all exactly. About the stock being more skinny and skeleton like, the actual one is quite similar to the one from the comic and has some more futuristic/modern looks, the one from the comic is quite plain. But if you want it skinny and more skeleton like, you can still use it as reference and just delete some parts so it will loose size/volume and it will look that way. I also took the freedom to add the original comic image for comparison purposes, and I did another similar concept with real world parts of weapons. I used the same web page that was used to create this: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2689/4057634700_a2759d6545_z.jpg?zz=1

Thank you, and yes I tried to make it as similar as possible to: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111012160438/halo/images/3/35/FoR_HMG_38.png http://www.halopedia.org/HMG-38 This was a nice reference too: http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130709153432/halofanon/images/1/17/HMG_38.jpg In the comic it appears to be mag ammo not box ammo, and it looks like part of the magazine is being used as handhold, like the MP40. http://s263.photobucket.com/user/alabrador/media/modelsnov2010/IMG_5351.jpg.html That's is something that bothered me but I wanted to make it as close as possible to the original. In case you want it to be different, you can simply place the magazine more to the right and place a handguard there. The original does not seem to have a collapsible stock , but it could be done. About the selector switch, yes I've noticed its not in a very good place, I agree that it should be closer to the hand so you can easily switch it quickly with a finger. The switch of the g36c , for example, would work really well. The switch would have to be placed more to the right, but there is no space for it, it would require some tweaks. https://bbguns4less.co.uk/product_images/u/461/umx_g36_1___48513_zoom.jpg glad you liked it, hope you guys take it somewhere too :) EDITED: Made some changes. The switch is now in the right and inverted. http://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/542/541153/HMG-38-concept.1.jpg similar style weapon: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2689/4057634700_a2759d6545_z.jpg?zz=1

Regarding the comments about the HMG-38 in: http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-eridanus-insurrection/images/m73-lmg-wip I did a bit of research and I found that more than a heavy machinegun it is a light machinegun, here there is a thread explaining why: http://www.spartanbloks.com/forums/showthread.php/wip-hmg-38-saw-squad-automatic-weapon-custom-5291/index.html? Then about the design, in the comic it is extremely ugly, but I have noticed its similar to the German MP-40 as part of the magazine is used as a handhold. So I ended doing this: http://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/542/541153/HMG-38-concept.jpg I tried to make it as similar as the one seen in the comic while making it much less ugly and have that ''halo'' feeling. I hope it is a better representation for it. :)

AWESOME! Just something that has crossed my mind, if there are snow warthogs, are you planning to add a third army group with snow/arctic camo? I'm quite happy with the actual state of the warthogs, but here is some constructive criticism with suggestions to improve them: What kind of sights/scopes will every warthog be getting? I hope that at the end all of them get the thermal vision, also the MG warthog has some kind of camera, why not using that as a secondary scope? So you can switch from one another depending your preference/circumstances. Another thing that I have noticed is that the black warthog looks more dark green than black, could it look more like ODST color? Vehicles with black camo could have ODSTS as passengers btw :) Last thing, aren't the green warthog wheels too much brown? These look ok with the brown/desert warthog, and looks like the dark warthog has less and looks more ok. The snow on the white wheels warthog is perfect. Could the green warthog wheels be like the snow ones? (But with mud instead of snow, of course).

True, it feels like you are wearing a helmey, yet you still hqve a Wide range of vision. http://media.interstellarmarines.com/media/images/steamearlyaccess/interstellarmarines_early_access_update_6_small.jpg But that design is very different from the odst helmet, at least from the Lower part. Though the feeling should be very similar and offer as much vision as possible.

Great example, that would be great. http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/118/1042375-h3odst_campaign_1stpersonvisr02.jpg It is posible to change all the UI icons positions? Because if ammo and grenades could be displayed like there it would be great, also displaying the direction you are facing in the upper part, or even adding a radar like in the halo games, mqrking the enemies around you. Though that should be switched off in 3rd person, it just would feel strange and awkward having that interface in third person. That would be exclusive to Odsts, or marines/army will get something similar too?

I remember some time people said some designs of the weapons in the comics looked a bit awkward, I just found some fan arts and concepts in deviant art, including some weapons that appeared in contact harvest. http://diaboy.deviantart.com/art/Draft-Halo-mod-schematics-196924528 http://splinteredmatt.deviantart.com/art/M62-light-machine-gun-283522571 http://splinteredmatt.deviantart.com/art/M84-heavy-machine-gun-259683666 http://splinteredmatt.deviantart.com/art/M73-machine-gun-259682022 http://darbaras.deviantart.com/art/The-Squad-Automatic-Weapon-167532877 http://toraiinxamikaze.deviantart.com/art/G4H-DuSH-Rocket-Launcher-190031530 http://www.rps.net/NE/SShots/MachineGunConcept.jpg http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110102110302/halofanon/images/6/63/M620_Light_Machine_Gun_mod1.png static grenade launcher: http://frankiepereda38.deviantart.com/art/MG460-AGL-189947869 (warthog grenade launcher? not sue though, that's not cannon I think) http://toraiinxamikaze.deviantart.com/art/MG460-AGL-Side-191834061 http://frankiepereda38.deviantart.com/art/Mounted-Missile-Pod-Concept-190130412
