Quite an interesting glitch...

well when you look into the head visor, its the canvas... but the map really isnt! oh and this video has a sneak peek of my new map that will hopefully be finished soon:

Not much of a glitch since I believe Bungie themselves said that the visors wouldn't have true reflection images relative to what's supposed to be there. I believe it was to save resources.

BlatentB asks,

What happened to the real time reflections on Master Chiefs visor?



Nothing. They’re still in the game engine, but they’re not really much use, and are kind of a waste of CPU, so in many instances, MP for example, we save resources for more important stuff by using cube maps. (http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12834)

yah but what else would you call it? it would take a ton more coding if they added in the images.

A glitch is something that is in a game or something that you can do in a game that is not supposed to be there. Bungie knew it would be like this, so it is just part of the game.

Not sure if it's just my perspective, but it almost looks like the helmet is reflecting it as though he's from the other side of the map.

yet again, lol i know. but what am i supposed to call this thread? quite an interesting thing that bungie left out of the game? no thats too long, so i just said glitch to be done with it.
