Welcome to the forums

ROFL @ the award idea. Trying to get that award would result in mass chaos spamming. I can't even imagine the sudden flooding of posts.

Yes. I believe that some people get it earlier only because of time zone differences. Welcome to the site

Were there still rebels after the Covenant War began. It seems like the arrival of the Covenant would create a sort of live together or die alone situation. The best comparison that I can think of would be emergence day in the Gears of War series. After the locust attacked the humans had no choice but to put aside their differences and combine their effort towards the goal of survival. Regardless i do not see fighting against humans to be a logical thing for the Halo franchise to add. With the Covenant and Prometheans you have different classes of enemies that react differently to different combat scenarios. They foster different skills and weaknesses. Fighting humans would feel like one big blur and not be as exciting. Although it would be pretty cool to face off against falcons in the campaign

I do too, that's why I made sure that the clan I was joining was laid back and light on rules before joining. Your typical modern clan is a breeding ground for drama which I despise considering the purpose of video gaming for me is to have an enjoyable experience.

They were encountered in Halo Wars actually. They served as some light enemy opposition on the maps neutral bases so that there would be a little challange in conquering and controlling a new base. Also in Halo reach they were worried about rebels in the first level "Winter Contingency." However they turned out to be farmers and not rebels. Nonetheless they are only added as small references on the sidelines of the major UNSC vs. Covenant war. They will most likely remain this way as the Covenant would be much more interesting to fight. Only way I can see us fighting humans is if they produce a spin-off game that seeks to pin-point the starting point in the franchises major conflict and provide a little more UNSC backstory.

Wow thanks, for compiling all these newly revealed weapons in one post. I for one think that this should be pinned for future reference.

Yeah, I'd say that this idea was a huge success. Sorry for making you keep working ( xD ) but I changed it away from small caps because some members had really outdated computers that didn't register the characters and my messages showed up as a bunch of rectangles.

I think that the OP was referring to starting weapons. In other words the BR, DMR, Carbine, Assualt Rifle, and Storm Rifle. But you're right in that it looks very cool and new.

Maybe they'll make Promethean weapons more powerful against Prometheans... just a thought. EDIT: 666 posts 0_o

Yes but squads is more for teams of 4-5 soldiers in it. Perhaps it should be called a batillion (or a fleet for sanghelli clans).

Micromanaging my friend, micromanaging.

Actually it doesn't show that at all. To say that you can compare current statistics for Reach and Halo 3 and come to an accurate conclusion is pure wrongness (not a real word). I can tell you just by hearing word of mouth everywhere that the majority of people liked the gameplay of Halo 3 better than Halo Reach. I can show no statistics to support this, Its simply by far the most common opinion voiced on xbox live when playing Halo Reach.

Energy Sword. I seem to remember referring to it as the plasma sword in the past though. And plasma seems like it would work better due to the weapon design and technology employeed by the covenant throughout the Halo games.

There is no really effective way to gain credits without using multiplayer MM. Sorry to say.

I loved super-bouncing on Ascension to get to the top of the big tower. Completely unfair to use in MM... but back in the Halo 2 era I could have cared less.

67 in BTB. I went major ham in the banshee on Renegade 2-Flag CTF.

LMFAO. What do you guys share between you. 170,000 shouts. Indeed we would be a long way coming without you guys.

Only 3600 are mine. I think it's funny how Azaxx has almost a tenth of the total shouts.

In about 30,000 shouts the shoutbox will be celebrating it's 1 millionth shout. We must celebrate on that lucky shout. :
