| Project Halo Weekly Update *Many IMG* | |

Howdy Folks, It's been another long week for the Project Halo development team and much progress has been made. I dropped in to fill you in on the latest. Oh ya, got some eye candy for you too ;) Engine-We have decided once and for all on the BZFlag engine. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bzflag) This isn't really an engine, it's a game, but the engine it sits on will be great for our purpose. Let me go in to detail on that. BZFlag for the most part hard codes all its objects. Meaning, the tanks and everything are coded out by hand, not previously rendered and "loaded" like most games today. This makes BZFlag rendering extremely fast, and extremely slow in some cases. Also, BZFlag offers cross-platform support "out of the box" so to speak. Also, HUGE multiplayer support. (Imagine 64 or more player carnage, but i'm not gauranteeing anything yet ;) ) We're basically stripping everything down on BZFlag and making a super engine capable of taking over the world one cardboard box at a time. We had our project meeting Wednesday, which really kicked off the project and let everyone meet everyone else. All our developers joined up and we really hammered some things out, too bad no one from HBO showed up. Always next week I suppose ;) And now for the eye candy!!! Our first set of pictures is of the MA2B semi-automatic rifle. It's a close cousin to the MA5B AR.
Here's some images of the new Marine Helmete. It's not much, but..it's..just...ya.
Our new Covenant Man Portable Plasma Cannon. Very powerful, very heavy.
And some new pictures of our Gunship, the Katana.
That's all for this week folks. Feel free to voice your opinion about anything mentioned. Check back next week for more Project Halo goodies. Cheers,
