Re: RA2: Modding thread

[CivBase]

Mortar infantry?
You mean like grenadeers?
I figured we'd just do rocket marines, but sure.

[Kasrkin Seath]

Sorta like grenadiers, but think more damaging, slower to fire, longer range and must deploy

More of a low tier artillery unit for the UNSC since in low tier matches they would be severely outclassed by the more elite of covie infantry

[CivBase]

What would they use for artillery?
Halo doesn't really have any mortars...

[Kasrkin Seath]

Who?

The UNSC no doubt has mortars, you just never see them.
They most definantly have some sort of vehicle mounted artillery as well, you just never see it.

[CivBase]

*thinks of wraith*
*thinks of rhino*
*thinks of jackhammer*

[Kasrkin Seath]

Wraith is kind of a cross, it has a very limited range for artillery
Rhino is artillery
jackhammer?

[capn qwerty]

I'd call it SMA, Shoulder Mounted Artillery.

[CivBase]

Wraith is kind of a cross, it has a very limited range for artillery

jackhammer?

Jackhammer = misslepod

[Kasrkin Seath]

We needs mortar

[CivBase]

We need to work on UNSC buildings...
I have no clue what they should have.
So far I just have basics: Con Yard (HQ), Power, Barracks, Resource Building, Vehicle Depot, and Air Vehicle Depot

[Kasrkin Seath]

That sounds good, we just need some defensive structures

I was also thinking maybe we could make combat engineers to build trentches and bunkers for infantry to inhabit, although it would be difficult

[CivBase]

Deffensive structures:
Auto-cannon
Machinegun nest
Shade
Sniper Tower

I've never found deffensive structures to pressing, as it's typicaly more effective to use units as deffence.

As for engineers, I could always make it so that assault marines are capeable of capturing tech.

We could also add an armory (upgrades) and a com center

[Kasrkin Seath]

also remember AA guns

we should make defenses actually good, but expensive so that they are usefull but never overused

making them take lots of power would work

also, power plants should be ungodly expensive and produce huge amounts of power, makes them more valuable.

What about walls?

[CivBase]

Auto Cannons were used as AA in Halo: The Flood

I'd also add walls... but the allied ones look good for the UNSC and covy walls aren't really necessary as they don't tend to use them.

How's this sound for the base structures? I'll start revising it to fit our capabilities with the RA2 engine.

[Onyxknight]

*thinks this mod will be better than HW*

[Kasrkin Seath]

against what though?

are you sure about teh sniper tower?
Maybe we should put in some aa artillery instead?

[Kasrkin Seath]

it sounds good or the most part

[CivBase]

against what though?

Spirits

are you sure about teh sniper tower?

Yah, this thing. Makes for a good bunker, plus it has machineguns.

Auto Cannon/Shade
If you want, we could always make some sort of fuel-rod emplacement for Covys and a Jackhammer (misslepod) turret for UNSC.

[Kasrkin Seath]

Auto cannons are kinda slow firing for AA, and not very accurate when it comes to hitting them

[CivBase]

Well, then how does a jackhammer nest sound?

[Kasrkin Seath]

maybe.

[Onyxknight]

i think maybewith the missel pods there should be LAAG turrents too

[Kasrkin Seath]

yeah
I like onyx's idea

[MrX]

tiberian sun mod would be kewl

[Kasrkin Seath]

i can actually play tiberian sun right now, I have those discs
