hey guys, just thought i would do some advertising about this game, as i want as many people as possible to know and play this game when it comes out.

basically Halo: Galaxy of Combat (halo: GoC) is an upcoming, fan-made, free-to-play MMOFPS (massively multiplayer online first person shooter) take in the halo universe, developed by indie devs Bay View Game Studios. although there hasn't really been any gameplay videos yet, i still have high hopes for them on what i have seen so far. for more info on the game visit:

this game is gonna be AWESOME when it comes out :D

We had a thread about this, which resulted in a massive argument.

I just have so many doubts about this....

Agreed. all the trailers theyve made were.. how do i put this, Bad? yeah that works it was bad. they were short and bad.

Agreed.

Hate to join the band wagon, but... it's the truth, so, agreed.

How things work too are horrible.

Basically: the owner tells you what to do, you give it to him, then that's it. You also have to "prove your loyality" to him which is absolutely rediculous. It isnt professonal in my opinion.

They've also NEVER released any gameplay footage, or any pictures of ingame footage, not even when I was involved.

So it's diffucult for us to judge it as a good game when all we've seen was a horribly done trailer with stock UE tags, and ODST's that walk like they're 60 or 70.

You know, if you think you can do better, go on right ahead. Until then, quitcherbitchen. If you don't like it you don't have to play it. It's funny, because had the more experienced members here not broadsided it, many would be looking forward to it. Sheep.

Regardless, I'd be happy to play a good Halo MMOFPS. So, I'm waiting patiently for Spring 2012.

(and no, I'm not in any way affiliated with them :P)

A good Halo MMOFPS.. What we WANT to see is proof, but they're not showing what we need to know. Therefore, there are doubts.

You know, I'd like to see someone march up to Redmond and demand to see concept art for Halo 4 because they need to see proof.

Why are you comparing Halo 4 to this? The quality between the companies are much different.

Yeah, that was a bad comparison, given this is an indie company. They released trailers, and maybe they were less than perfect. But as I was told in another thread, these don't represent the final product and really can't be used to judge the eventual release. Especially considering the trailer was made quite a while ago.

The point is that these people can't even be considered indie. Half of the things they slap their label on isn't even theirs - for example the Covenant Cruiser, those buildings, the tree's - even some of the concept art shown is obviously Bungies.

Guys, i'm pretty pissed off from the fact that you are bashing a game and the devs from old-ass trailers. but have you even HEARD the music that MR. Churchill created (he is BVG's composer)? go on the website and see how good the music is! if they could have music THAT good, then i think they can make a game THAT IS good. don't bash it like you bashed halo 4 from a couple of trailers; all i wanted is more people to notice that a great indie game is being created, but what i have seen so far is people bashing a game that hasn't even been released yet. and what makes matters worse, you are bashing an INDIE GAME. it takes TIME to make games, and you should all respect that, instead of complaining that "there are no good trailers yet, so that means it is going to be bad". all i wanted is for this game to be NOTICED in the world of gaming. so respect that it is an indie game, and wait until it is released BEFORE you share your thoughts on the final product of the game. so make peace, and wait. thank you.

P.S: i am not apart of the BVG development team in anyway. i am simply just a fan of the game (and the devs) being created.

music =/= entire game

also considering the fact that all of the stuff they have shown IS old, how are we supposed to judge what we see? just say "amazing work1!!1!" and call it a day? ummm no, don't think so.

Oh really? I don't see any proof yet since there is nothing to see to show me that this game is going to be "great".
You want this game to be noticed? It was noticed.. to be what you so call 'bashed'.

Also:


Nope, don't think so.

I can haz mashed taterz???

I bet as a community in these forums, we can make anything better than 'BVG' can. Heck, I wouldn't be surpised if we could make stuff better than 343i.

Lol, you tell me ONE community that has ever worked together. Even then, you're talking about Halomaps. Nuff said.

I think the title is cliche. Then I realized it's an MMORPG, so it's okay.

For me it really has nothing much to do with Halo: CE. It's not even on the same engine, so I'm not really interested in it.

MMOFPS.

cant any of you guys respect that the game is being made? i mean, sure no gameplay, but i'd like to see you try and make a game and then try release content, while working your ass off. the people at BVG are very nice people, but now what i see here is a group of people who say: "no gameplay, no point." people said that 343i would never release gameplay, but look what they did: THEY RELEASED GAMEPLAY. so WAIT FOR GAMEPLAY, and THEN tell me that it is bad. i can't believe the majority of this topic is against an idie game being developed by indie developers. i thought you guys were nice people who respected the fact that other people are trying to make games for free, and out of their own pockets. i guess i was wrong. where is respect in this world, these days? all people want is..... want. can't anyone afford to wait these days? if people can't be patient, then they need to start living in the real world.

This post reminds me of one half of the halo waypoint forums. Blind unbased optimism.
There is hardly even proof that the game exists.
You came HERE and thought this was a forum of nice people? lol. try immature little children, or at least mostly. We don't have a problem with indie game developers, its just that as I said, there is hardly even proof it exists and we don't know anything about it. And people have a right to be impatient, espcially sense so many people have tried before making an indie halo game 9(including me) and failed.

You seriously thought that 343 Industries, the multi-million dollar company that is developing Halo 4, would never release any gameplay videos? If you do, I've just observed a new level in human stupidity.

I've actually been suprised with how far they got. The team *appears* to be a lot more coordinated than I expected. Maybe it was because my first impression on the updates was a LARGE update. And I also got accepted into the private alpha, which I was an hour late to and so the servers closed down before hand.

Anyway, I'm still gonna watch the game, and play it during its release. Once again, you can't base a game on how a trailer looks. Check out the 343i forums. They saw 3 seconds of Halo 4, and some people are complaining on how it's ruined Halo. It makes no sense. Don't judge how fun a game is until its released, no matter whos making it and how its made, you shouldn't just presume its bad until its been released, and you can clearly see that its bad.

How far did they get? All they have shown was some random models that they ripped and shoved into a map, its clear they are using a more advanced engine than CE, but other than that, what they have shown is mediocre.

God... even Indie developers don't dare rip stuff from big companies and say its theirs, or that they're gonna release a game with it.

ESPECIALLY INDIE DEVELOPERS, because they wouldn't hjandle the lawsuit.

Lets look at it from an unbiased point of view, shall we?

One crappy trailer. Or two... if you consider that really bad ODST running with explosions behind him. Seriously, I vomited. Two crappy trailers(By my last count) and them proclaiming its gonna be awesome, and subjecting people who want to help(Nick) to torturous examination.

Ripped tags. Seriously, I have one thing to say: If you're gonna rip that many tags, stuff them into a free-to-play MMOFPS, which will probably eventually have some form of monetary payment or bonuses gotten with monetary payment, you are gonna get a buttload of lawsuits. First, STEALING material, ands putting it into a completely new game without the approval of the owners. Second, DENYING them their sales. Who needs a new Halo trilogy, we've got an MMOFPS! That would be worse than the first one. Then there is two(maybe three) companies that will sue you for those things. See how it can spiral out of control?

Now, lets say they are a nice company. They manage to make the game without getting sued, they create an entire new tagset for SO many things(so they won't get sued) and make it a good game. Not possible, especially for a crappy indie team that isn't going to charge anything.

They cited on their website that this is all under Microsoft's Fair Usage etc rules, so unless 343i suddenly decides to make a MMOFPS they should be at the bright side of the gray area in the best case scenario. They're not making a profit off this, so the best MS can do is file a Cease & Desist if, as stated above, they have a competing project in the works.

Heh, it'd be funny if Lumoria got a C&D because of Halo 4. Not trolling, just thinking of all the hatemail 343 would start getting lol.

Oh all right.

If this ever gets released, I wanna know. I'ma hibernate. Just remember...

those 2 trailers were done before they started using the UDK engine. and those trailers were released WAAYYYYYY back. how do you know the tags are ripped? they say (i repeat THEY say, we don't know if it is true) that it is 100% their work. no ripping. actually, i came across a form on BVG.net one time, with a guy (who was not apart of BVG) who had made a tag for a gun, and offered to give it to them. they declined; they stated that they only were getting stuff from their own team, but they did thank him for offering. also, the game is under Microsoft's "custom content and rules policy".


but anyway, lets just wait and see IF this game actually exists, because i really hope it does. :D

Lol, might've been caboose.

Uhh, what?

Dude, seriously, get your facts straight.

Hate to burst you're bubble, but every bit of that in those pics is ripped. Just because they don't want an AR from someone does not mean they make custom things. :\
Edited by goldkilla88 on Mar 17, 2012 at 03:36 AM

but how do YOU know they are ripping things?!!! just because they have a model of a AR (for example) doesn't mean that they ripped it. where is you proof that they ripped it?
