Reposting cuz my question got caught in the middle of that spoiler screenshot mess and I'd like to know.

Long story short, the model geometry that you see is different from the collision geometry that we use for hit detection. The Elite's collision geometry is tighter than the Spartan's, compared to the render geometry, and the old headshottable region was halved in size.

The only objectionable side effect of this is that shooting an Elite in the kisser won't actually be a "headshot" (you need to hit him higher on his head). But I don't think that's going to be an issue in anything but laboratory conditions.

It'll never be perfect, but our goal was "close enough that you felt like you actually had a choice in casual play". I don't expect MLG will be using them any time soon.

lol... huh...

Hayabusa?

I guess this is Bungie's way of cameoing Team Ninja D:

 

[godhandiscen]

Halo 3 just got perfect.

 

[cluto]

Me hopefully.

 

[Eric WK]

Possibly maybe?

Not sure yet.

 

[giga]

Yeah ??

Looks good.

For the two above me, THATS HOT

and godhandiscen's just looks funny/odd. :lol

I just finished working on school projects for 14 hours just so I can clear my schedule this week...is that weird? Also:

 

[Havok]

Posting a screenshot from a cutscene: Great idea. Quoting the same screenshot: Better idea!

Anywho, I've resorted to watching the Beta videos that I recorded months ago (and were subsequently put up on youtube without my knowledge. Or credit.) Its tiding me over pretty well, actually.

 

[Striker]

I can't figure out how to post the image for the Player Image Generator. I'm clicking the "Copy URL" button and it isn't working.

 

[rollingstart]

lol... huh...

Hayabusa?

I guess this is Bungie's way of cameoing Team Ninja D:

they tried to get some side boob in Halo 3 but realized they couldent do it, so they just went with the Ryu-bot.

 

[Kuroyume]

Is there a generator for those images that I haven't heard about? How are you guys making that stuff?

edit: nvm

 

[Eric WK]

Click "View Image Online," Right-Click and Save, upload to image sharing site of your choice.

SEX.

Add a female spartan voice with that helmet and you have a winner.

 

[Xamdou]

Posting for new page, cause it's cool and at least we can post our custom permutations.

Player Image Generator
Those of you who don't have the game and want to experiment with the different armor permutations, here's a nifty little program that lets you do just that. It's basically what you can do in Halo 3 in terms of customizing your Spartan. So you can keep yourself busy with that in wait of Halo 3.

Needs .Net Framework 2.0, so if you don't have that you cand download it below.

Hitbox is about the same.

Thank you kind sir.

Thanks! Looks like I'll be checking them out after all. (It's weird, though; I'll always have this stigmata stuck in my head and wonder if I could be doing better with a Spartan. Ah well, perhaps I'll get over it.)

Wow, 3 winners in a row! Last one reminds me of Gears' COG armor.

Let me guess, Halo was your first Bungie game huh?

 

[InfectedZero]

dammit it didnt work

 

[Striker]

That's the one I'm liking so far.

 

[InfectedZero]

<--- ok got it

 

[Eric WK]

Woo. Thanks for the positive reactions. That about settles it.

Might switch to Hayabusa chest, as well, which would look like this:

And I had already planned to go Female voice, so that works out well.

 

[giga]

I was 6 when Marathon came out. Golly!

I've settled on mine.

 

[Eric WK]

That looks rad.

343 Guilty Spark Page FTW!

Only 172 pages here.

 

[Sean]

The Hayabusa permutation looks fucking awesome. That will be the one I use for sure.

How long does that one take to unlock?

 

[Lt Cola]

The knife is sexy, wish you could use it.

Awesome. Can you link to a bigger version?

 

[Darkpen]

D:

I made a bunch, but the urls somehow got broken. Oh well.

 

[Eric WK]

The shoulders and chest unlock fairly quickly I think. They were among the first permutations that Cocopjojo got. I have a feeling the helmet takes a while longer.

 

[iSimon]

Awesome. Can you link to a bigger version?

http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=skeeting smurf

Looks like the lighting was enhanced. But it's still damn sexy.

 

[Stahsky]

Is mine

 

[giga]

That looks rad.

As does yours.

 

[godhandiscen]

Dont worry, download it from XBLA. Anyways, its still not a perfect Vic, a perfect Vic would weild pistols.

 

[GeoNeo]

So, wait how do you unlock these? Just by ranking up in MP?

 

[CougRon]

Only 172 pages here.

using the forum defaults is more fun for these sort of things. I'm sure though that within a week we can do it you're way too

 

[Tieno]

Keep cranking out those custom permutations! I like seeing them.

 

[Eric WK]

So, wait how do you unlock these? Just by ranking up in MP?

Word is that they're tied to achievements, so it's really a combo of multiplayer and singleplayer accomplishments.

 

[Router]

I missed page 343

 

[CreepingDea7h]

I think I'll go for something like this:

I love the ninja chest plate.

 

[CougRon]

So, wait how do you unlock these? Just by ranking up in MP?

There seems to be multiple ways to unlock armor. The most common way seems to be through achievements and achievement points. But I'm sure some of them can be done by certain actions in the game and/or medals or ranks earned in multiplayer.

it's boogling how many permutations bungie has made and have been found by now. (I've lost count, over 15 seperate spartan+elite helmets so far?) Most ways to unlock them will probably be known by next Saturday but Bungie has a history of keeping mum on some of their secrets so we could be finding these for a long time to come.

 

[Jel0man]

Three days left. Amazing. I'm ordering from a Dutch online store, so I probably won't get it any earlier than Wednesday. So the 26th it is.

Can't wait for all the reviews to appear at 21.00 CET.

 

[CougRon]

I missed page 343

You'll have another chance in about 17000 posts if you switch your post-per-page to 100 instead of the forum default

[Antdogg355]

I like this one.

 

[Tieno]

That one is full of awesome and SpudBud.

Cobalt or blue <3

 

[MirageDwarf]

I tried different color combination but I don't like other than steel or green color much. It's default permutation with just left shoulder modified.

This app is not giving any option for custom color. Is there any option to do that in the game or not?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I like this one.

Has a nice Carmine vibe to it.

America's Next Top Spartan. I love the colours btw, but I prefer to pay homage to the classics.
