Halo Homefront
A Homeworld 2 mod
Sins Forums
Hey there, I'm from Brokenline Studios to tell you about our upcoming project, Halo: Homefront, a Total conversion mod for Homeworld 2
Homeworld 2 is a space combat RTS, and is likely the best one around, with full 3d planes of movement, awsome ship AI and an amazing ammount of mod support. Homefront is a Halo based mod that will change the game to depict the epic space battles between the UNSCDF and the Covenant
More information can be found at our site http://brokenlinestudios.net/ and our forums http://brokenlinestudios.net/forums/, over there my name is overlordjebus, if you feel like sending me a PM, we also have a Moddb page, http://www.moddb.com/mods/9722/halo-homefront
Now, onto the fun stuff, the eye candy.
Currently we haven't released any Covenant ships, how ever we will be soon.
first off is the strike craft, since the games and books only mentioned longswords, we took the liberty of making our own strike craft, the Scimitar Light fighter, and the Halberd Bomber. We dont have a texture for the Halberd yet, but heres some pics of them anyway ^^
the scimitar (this might go through some changes in the future)
and the halberd

bottom
and heres a snazzy little size comparsion
the one in the middle is of course the longsword, y'know, for those pants on head retarded people out there 
next we have the frigate, like the Forward unto Dawn or the In Amber Clad
Now heres another frigate we created ourselves, this is a Missile frigate, Its a lightly armoured ship which fires rockets in a continuous stream from the circular module at the front, designed to hang back till the covenant ships shields are down then fly forward and just pepper them with a constant stream of rockets until the enemy ship is dead
i remind you, everything in this mod that you see now is subject to change
heres our version of the destroyer, this is probably definately going to change, model and texture wise
now for a few more ship we created ourselves, these are the different frigates. Due to the UNSC's constant struggle with the covenant, the expense of building cruisers became slightly less practical, and the reliability and cheapness of the frigate chassis gave birth to a new generation of FFG's
the one furthest away is the light frigate you saw above, the middle one is the new carrier frigate, after the UNSC couldnt build carriers fast enough to keep up with the covenants wave of destruction, so the carrier frigate was produced, with an extended hangar so it can hold an extra longsword/halberd squadron. The closest is the heavy frigate, with increased armor, and more powerful MAC then its light frigate cousin, this is basicaly the child of the light frigate and the destroyer.
This is our own little Halcyon Cruiser, untextured but we are working on it, Like the Pillar of Autumn
and of course, the Marathon Cruiser (this is the ship seen at the very begining of halo 2)
the cruisers will be textured all in due time, dont worry.
The SMAC platform, the frigates there just for size comparison, the model will be separate dont worry
The UNSC shipyard
this will produce everything from the Marathon downwards.
and this lil beuaty is the Cradle Repair and Refit station
and finally the Astreaus BattleShip.
Only two Astraeus Battleships were ever built. The UNSC Contingency and the UNSC Field of Hope. Both were left in there briths, half constructed, when a Covenant fleet assaulted and glassed the industrial colony where they lay. The two ships survived, a testament to their endurance and power. The UNSC diverted billions of dollars to finish construction under a new name. That of Astraeus, Titan god of the stars.
and heres a size comparison of them all, and yes, the Astreaus really is that big.
thats all for now people, ill keep you updated as more stuff comes through ^^
so yea, any questions?
