Maybe Legacy just puts out and takes in more info that Halo 3 does due to its mostly cruddy design? A reason why it can't be played on your connection?

Please note, Legacy was premature when released. Bethsada was to concerned about making profit than releasing a well tested game. To that end, Legacy bites a big one.:silence:

Please also note that there are some great mods out there to Legacy that makes it an entirely new game and worth playing as well.
So you can choose if you want it or not. ;)

I haven't tested any of the mods yet. But I may when I get time. Anything to improve the game sounds worth a shot.:)

I don't have the PC version, I may buy it down the road when I get a more powerful PC to play it.

So what would you lot say is a good poly limit for a ship for Legacy?

A lot more than Armada that is for sure. I believe (not knowing the game too well) stock ships had somewhere between 7000-10,000 each and no doubt modellers have surpassed that since the game came out.

sweet, lol, i honestly think that will be trickier than trying to model low poly models ^^

i will admit to being tempted to give it a try :/ just like one ship nothing major.

I always found low poly models harder personally, getting a good looking low poly model is much harder than a good looking high poly model and I do think it also shows a better modeller if they can get a good low poly model compared to a good looking high poly model. ;)

well, i find low poly easier as you dont need as much detail in the model where as with a higher poly model you need more detail for it to look good.
