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
They ALL came from NexusMods.NOTE: The shorthand for Fallout Overhaul Kit was censored by Steam as a swear word. I like mods, but I also like stable game, so here's a load order that seems to work for me.Yes, there are a LOT of mods here. Order of fallout new vegas dlc download.

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)
Homeworld 2 Halo Mod Every Vehicle
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?
This is a very large (141MB) file and may take several hours to download via dial-up modem.
In the original Homeworld, descendants of Hiigara fought their way to their ancestral home. In this sequel, a renegade clan called the Vaygrs threatens the Hiigarans' existence. Gamers must collect resources, construct space fleets, and battle the Vaygrs to survive. Despite some slowness in cut scenes and between missions, Homeworld 2 combines intense action, an immersive story, and detailed 3D graphics to create an enjoyable space-strategy game.
The demo version provides one tutorial, two single-player missions, and two multiplayer missions, as well as a single-player deathmatch against the computer. The tutorial provides a cursory introduction to controlling the camera and the basic interface, but you'll need more practice to master all the controls. Veteran gamers will complete the two single-player missions quickly. The deathmatch option is great practice, because you can train for regular gameplay without plot interruptions. Although the 3D graphics are less advanced than recent comparable titles, the massive space battles are still impressive. A well-integrated soundtrack adds to the immersive experience. Much of the success of Homeworld 2 will depend on the final storyline and the advanced missions, but the well-designed interface, the wide variety of ships and structures, and new multiplayer options indicate a powerful potential.
