The only problem with adding in Sentinals and the like, is they're so tiny. I mean a normal sentinal is like, half the size of a human. That'd be like half the size of a wing on the TEC fighter. It'd just be sooooo friggen tiny. Now, we know from Halo 3 that the Forerunners had MASSIVE fleets of warships, far larger then anything seen in Halo to date. And we know such ships were crewed by Foreruners, but could also be remotely controlled by Monitors. I.e. Mendicant and Offensive Bias'.

So if we were going the route of adding the Forerunners (Or their AI) as the third faction. We'd basicly have to fan-make all their ships, and just say they're being remote controlled by the AI. The player being the AI. I spose such a thing would make for a nice "expansion pack". Finish the mod to have just the Covie-Human war. But then add an expansion which takes the mod into the realm of fan-fiction, by introducing the new Forerunner faction and maybe that is where all those retarded (Sorry, but they are D: ) suggestions could be implimented, lasers and shields for the UNSC and the like.

OK People. Seriously, we need to stop with the incredibly stupid ideas. O, I has an idea, how about lets make the flood playable, just the npcs, and they float around and throw limbs at the ships. I mean come on, compared to some of the ideas I've heard thats what they sound like. Come on, sentinels ingame? UNSC with shields? Pff get out of here. I mean, this is halo we're talking about, not star trek. And, I can pretty much guess the reason for this is due to you have never read any of the books, only played like 5 minutes of one of the games, and are like, O I am teh geniuzes on teh Haloz and then you throw out some asshat idea and think its smart. Seriously, before we do anything stupid, lets think about this idea, even before you post them. Ok?

Both of you have a point. Don't just post ANYTHING, but I am always curious about new ideas.

There kind of is at the seven deadly sins website... kinda...

I've almost figured out the Mod tool Canadaman. Ill send you a PM when i think im ready

Nope actually that was some random guy. I couldn't change the main post, thus making it useless.

Yeah...EVERYTHING, including YOU, because last time i checked the Forerunners died from the rings too, not just everyone else. (not trying to sound harsh, just saying, if it kills everything but you, that's going to be an easy win, build one, use it, kills everything, colonize planets, repeat. And making it so you can only how X amount of halos doesn't work either, because if you want another one, just scuttle it, and build.)

Actually, since the Forerunners are all dead, making a Forerunner faction would ONLY use AI, as I mentioned earlier. Since Halo's only kill bio organics capable of sustaining the flood (So like, tadpoles will survive) then the Forerunner AI race would be uneffected. Think about it, you're a sentient AI, commanding the most powerfull fleet and weapons in the galaxy, and your opponents are all organic. Halo their asses and win.

But, in the end, as much sense as this makes, and as logical as it is. It'd be HORRIBLE for gameplay. No race should have that kind of power. Even the vanilla super weapons were bad enough, something that can clense entire systems..... no. Halo's should be left as "end game" planets, get them to win. Not as faction super-weapons. However, that being said, the whole Forerunner faction would make a nice expansion as I said earlier. But for now, I say we put all this forerunner talk to the side and focus on simply getting the core of the mod done.

yes well with all that said i have finished texturing the hacyon cruiser with detail but i wont release the pic cause we are in the process of making an official post
i have started work on the shipyard so im ready to take down any ideas yall might have about it

We should make the UNSC shipyard upgradable, so that the UNSC arn't spamming frigates every 2 seconds at the very begining. Starts out with one build slot, and later upgrades to-----> who knows?

mmm i have seen some pretty weird ideas, the forerunner would work best as the third race, the flood aren't like what they were copied off of so they can't infest star ships and use their weapons, and UNSC with shields, how would they get the tech? making a peace treaty/trade alliance, with them? lol. i just read the books, again

well the flood would act like any other race but they would have modeled ships from both the unsc and the covenant wit a little model tweak and also be less powerful

I think that the Flood would be a way more plausible race than the forerunners. The forerunners are DEAD, and NOTHING is going to change that, NOTHING!!! And the flood are not some mindless parasite that devour all life (although it certainly seems that way) The Gravemind is a massive brain for the flood, and he certainly seemed to be able to control his little minions in the third game. The only reason in Halo 1 that the flood were mindless is because they had no leader to help them.

Time to Time is an understatement they invaded alot more ships then that but als they probally will be is a minor annoyance
