I would have loved to make this first episode and a whole series happen. But I do understand that due to time constraints, that it would have to be limited to a bi-weekly show until summer of coarse. If there are people in the forum willing to help get this made, I would gladly reprise my writing and continue to develop episodes.

Time for a quick history guys! Way back in October of 2011, Zed the Evil Taco came up with an idea that followed what RvB did, but in 343i Forum form. The basic idea was that each weekly episode would revolve around hot topics and mishaps here in the forum. Sadly, the machinima never got made. Zed dropped off which left me alone. I wrote the first episode script and even made a solid reusable intro for the following episodes. Twam and Spectral Jester were both cast as players, and even Caboose was cast to play Caboose from RvB. I came across these files on my PC today and I wanted to share a piece of history with you guys before it gets lost. So without further delay, here is the intro and the script. Enjoy guys! 343i Community Web Show Episode #1: “This is it?” (Credits are rolling) - about 10 seconds. While credits are rolling, we here metal clanging around and Zed Zed: “What the hell, is this broken? C’mon you piece of crap….(sigh), well this is great.. (Credits end and fade in from black) (Fade in is on Zed standing in the middle of ForgeWord (gulch area) Zed: “Ok is it rolling? Are we on? Oh….. Hey everyone, welcome to the first ever brand spanking new community web show called…uh.. 343i Community Web… (Twin enters from right and interrupts Zed, and stares at him) Twin: “Dude….what are you doing? Who the hell are you talking to?” (Close up of Zed’s face) Zed: “ Uh…I was introducing the show to our viewers?” Twin: “Viewers?” (looks around) “We’re in the middle of nowhere. Since when do we have a show? And who the hell would be watching us? (talks fast) “Is it Twam? Where is he? I swear to god if he’s stalking me again!” Zed: “(Sigh), I meant I was talking to our home viewing audience. You know, the people at home watching this on the internet. I was welcoming them to the first episode.” Twin: (looks around all crazy) Wait what?! We have a web show! When did this happen? Why wasn’t I told? I wanna be in it. Zed: (looks down in disappointment and shakes head) “You are in it (char2 name), don’t you remember? You signed up to co-host and write for it.” Twin: “Are you sure, that doesn’t sound like something I would volunteer for.” Zed: “You mean you don’t remember this?” (start flashback to yesterday) (Zed and Twin are standing inside a base) (panned shot so you see the entire 2 characters) Zed: “So Twin, I’m starting a new web show series.” Twin: “ A new Web Hoe series! Sweet! I love hoes. Hoes on the web! Epic!” (Zed starts correcting Twin on what he said and starts explaining it) (Twin starts internal dialog over top of Zed explaining the series) Twin: (internal dialog) “Hmmm I wonder what kind of hoes? Fat ones? Little ones? Hah those midget ones are so funny. I wonder if we’ll get to eat pie. Maybe we’ll eat pie with midget hoes. Oh man I am soooooo doing this. (Zed stops explaining) Zed: “Well? What do you ssay?” Twin: “Dude hell yeah! I am sooo in!” (flashback ends) Twin: “ Yeah, I do vaguely remember something. Hey come to think of it, where’s the pie? Where are the hoes!! It was all lies!! (Char2 puts his head down.) I’m sad now.” Zed: “ Look, lets try to focus ok. We’re doing the show now and we still need to help the audience understand what it is and why we are doing it.” Twin: “Doing what”? Zed: “The show. Machinima” Twin: “So basically it’s a RvB ripoff”. Zed: “Dude this is nothing like RvB. For one, we aren’t professional”. Twin: “Good point” Zed: “Number two, the cast is nothing like RvB. It’s completely different.” Twin:” Yeah… a bunch of guys standing around inside Halo doing stuff, and filming it. Yeah completely different.” Zed: “It’s not the same!” Twin: “Yeah…it’s the same. Tell him Caboose” (Camera pans left to reveal Caboose standing next to Zed) Caboose: “I like pie” Twin: “See? It’s the same. Caboose likes pie and that’s good enough for me.” Zed : “ok, well three. Instead of the stupid hijinx they do, we will be talking and going over community related issues from the forums.” Twin: “So it’s a knock-off of a RvB PSA?” Zed: “Yeah…NO!” Caboose: “Yeah it’s the same” (shot pans out and we see Twam and #4 walking in) Spectral: (looks at Zed then Twin)“Hey, what are guys arguing about?” Twin: “ Zed is trying to sell everyone the BS notion that this web show is in no way anything like Red vs Blue.” (Twam and #4 look at eachother, and speak at the same time) Twam: “Yeah it’s the same” Spectral: “Yeah it’s the same” (Zed looks away from everyone) Zed: “ (sighs) “Can we just get on with this and foget about it”. Twin: “ Forget what? Oh that crappy RvB knock-off you wanted to do…..wait what?” Zed: ” OK OK OK. It’s somewhat similar. Ok? GOD! We’re almost out of time and still haven’t even explained the show yet!” (Twam looks around confused and then looks at Twin) Twam: “We’re doing a show?” (Twin looks at Twam) Twin: “ That’s what I said.” (Fades into black and credits start rolling) Zed: “You guys suck. See look! The credits are already rolling and no one has any idea whats going on… Caboose:” I have to pee” Zed: “Shut up Caboose” Caboose: “ Nevermind….I’m done”

New weapons aren't going to happen. If it we so easy to ass vehicles, weapons, animations to a remastered game, we would have seen that in CEA. Bottom line, any changes to the weapons, animations, physics, etc that are already a fundamental core of the engine and tags, isn't going to happen.

It could be a port issue. GFWL sometimes needs certain ports open or available just for that particular game. I had an issue once where Halo 1 had certain ports used, and I had to redo them and give those ports to halo 2, then poof! It all works.

Good to you again my old friend, you were missed! We need to catch up. Hope to see you in the SB.

Ugh trust me, I know the people who do this crap for a living. No one has successfully hacked the Xbox. Besides, hacking the Xbox has nothing to do with aimbots. Simply hacking the console does not automatically make you able to compile executable code, and even further, allow you to hack, emulate or reverse engineer the formats being used on the game discs. If these types of hacks are being used, they are being used by XDK users, not the general public or wannabe cool guys trying to prove something. I can guarantee you that 99% of the supposed aimbotting is done by the PC side. That being said, where are the links to videos showcasing this? If you can't show me an actual aimbot being used, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!

The part where the battle with the brutes begins? Or the part where you leave the Maus and the elites charge the door?

No, last I heard was that there was partial success in dumping/reading the Nand. As for writing and updating custom Nand, no, nothing has been done. As it is now, the X1 has no RT Tool s. Unless it's Dev Kit related, Respawn is full of ****.:-)

Xbox One aimbotting? Highly unlikely. I am unaware of any public or private modding of the X1 at this moment. As for PC.....1,010% likely lol

At which part of the game are you referring? Anything render_model or "permutation is not a glitch, but rather a specific scripted variant. I can pull the script and tag information, just let me know what level and what area.

Well no one cares about me, so this would be a first. Here is quick rundown about me... 1. Im crazy, long winded and mean as a badger. 2. One of the top Halo Engine modders around, I learned over 13+ years 3. My knowledge of Halo programming often makes me jerkish in my posts. 4. I have no tolerance for BS! 5. My closest friends here, I can count on one hand. 6. Im the second longest standing member of this site. Joined before Twam lmao. 7. I enjoy 3d weapon and level modeling for Cryengine, UDK and Blam! 8. I own my own game/multimedia company, Vyrant Studios LLC. 9. I'm single...lookin at you 343i ladies 10. Im a reliable and dependable friend. I always help where help is needed.

Which particular department within the development team are you starting? Just want to know where to lay blame when I become unhappy again. But congrats on the job! If I can ever assist you with anything, feel.free to ask.

Welcome, I could always use another Spatula in my kitchen! Mad props to you sir, good to see another PC gamer around here. If you have any questions or problems, look no further. Hope you enjoy your stay here bro!

Unless they completely overhaul the way the engine handles weather, it won't happen. I'm an expressed when it comes to the weather tag system, and in order to change or add weather, you would need direct access and the ability to edit the [sbsp] and [even] tags. Having access to both would require 343i to give us an advanced set of tools and the ability to decompress a compiled map or a mock RTH tool. giving us such direct access to said tools or tags would open up a huge can of worms for players.

I'm sorry' is supposed to be a real actual list? I just lol'd in my pants...

Halo 2 Legendary I could do blindfolded with 1-3 deaths tops. Halo 4 for me was way harder. Those pesky Knights and Crawlers are the bane of my existance!

Shock has a good point. For most people, playing a game or watching tv on big screens is hard to do, do to the fact that you have to adjust your POV to a certain part of the screen. Playing on a small or mid size tv at about 2-3 feet, allows you to see the whole screen and notice more movement without having to glance around the actual screen.

Yet again we are jumping to pointless meritless conclusions. There is no official word or confirmation of H2A. Aside from that, 343i didn't have direct development of CEA and it did suck. All it was, was just the Sabre 3d engine running a second instance of the game with new textured non-collision geometry. It is not that hard to do and quite frankly was not worth the price tag attached to it'

The garbage cleanup (despawn) or items is there to cut down on rendering and memory overhead. Unfortunatly because Halo 4 stretches the limits, it had to be done to cut down on lagging the engine. The textures are cheap for the same reason. When viewing the bitmaps standalone, they look crisp enough, but because of the rendering techniques like "imitating" and "imposturing", most of the things we see are actually an imposture render until you get up close. But that aside the main issue might actually be the rendering or the compression/decompression (deswizzling) methods the engine uses. But yes all those things are annoying as hell and bugs me to death. The AI however, that is something else of a "zone" or "squad order" measure.

Water itself has no collision acceleration or damage properties associated with it. The only thing water does have is at times, a defined collision property for projectiles, but those are usually invisible planes, or planes with collision defined as part of the bsp level. Water generally is a mesh plane with all collision and physics nulled in the shader assignment. But even then, water effects such as ripples or splashed, are generated by the mesh under the water.

Seeing as how old of a member I am, I would really like to hand with AD. Talking to him on the phone aint the same as kicking some brews in person.

@Darth I use a various array of programs to get the weapons right. I would be more than happy to teach someone the ropes of creating new tags and levels for Halo 2. Hopefully all my 10+ years of doing this won't be wasted, and we will get a new PC Halo title sometime soon.

Should I get my .50 cal's ready? Just kiddin guys.... or am I? Nah I'm kidding...but who knows?...
