I have never played rebellion but I can only imagine how huge the battles would be over the capture of one of these worlds especially with a timer ticking down

They tend to be rather entertaining and sometimes video worthy...

Sounds like there is a video coming on

I have to let everyone here know that Sweden has this weird thing with wearing shoes inside. YOU JUST DON'T DO IT.

*Off topic rant*
Funny, we think it's weird that everyone else have no problem walking right into the living room with dirty shoes. And no, just cuz they look clean to the naked eye don't mean they are. Also there is the problem of personal hygiene. THERE IS NO HYGIENE IN SHOES. It's a filthy environment for your feet. Any respectable military will tell you the necessity of taking your boots of every day to let your feet breath and prevent fungus infection.

It does make sense.

Well a good chunk of Asia especially in the far east with countries like Japan and China have a thing against wearing shoes inside as well.
And no I am not being stereotypical because that's what my family does.
Definately not weird by any strech of the imagination.

Not to me either then again I have a habit of not wearing shoes out side half of the time... Just part of being raised Southern I guess

Really I meant weird for a Western country.

Ok, moving on. Anyone have an idea of how long it will take to get this idea in game? By that, i mean the models of the planets.

Nice segue. The model's just a sphere, the texture is the issue. We don't have a texture artist strictly for planets, so I would say that that's completely undetermined.

ok, i was curious because it seemed like it was done modelling/texturing wise. But if we need to wait its ok.

so much being off topic T_T

Consider this an open call for anyone willing to try to texture a shield world. Post shots of it here.

What program do you need to try?

What program do you need to try?

Doesn't matter as long as the end product works and can be converted to .dds.

That is why I asked what program I haven't got a clue, but I always like trying new things

Photoshop or (if you're one of those silly people that can't pay 600 bucks for a subscription) GIMP would work

i just want to remake the fall of reach battle

According to the Halo Wiki, the Forerunners used Shield worlds for many different purposes. It would be cool if you had different types of Shield worlds, that gave different bonuses to whichever player controlled them. Maybe you can even add the Shipyard Shield world from Halo Wars, and whoever controls it can build either a single Forerunner capitol ship. Oh, here's an idea, make the flood world a flood occupied Shield world.

Not the first time this idea has come up.

 

Also, if you got a forerunner capital ship from capturing a specific planet, that could be game breaking (even for the forerunners if it was early game), so i would probably not suggest putting this in game.
