  1. There's a diffrence between nerfing an OP weapon, and making it (Remember that most Halo encounters are close-medium range) so that all other weapons are outclassed by another. The weapons weren't balanced, the BR just replaced the DMR because nostalgic H3 fanboys can't deal with having different gameplay.
  2. While I prefer the DMR, the 'muh 4sk br' community ruined the balancing so that the BR outclasses every weapon, meaning it';s the only rifle you can use to an effective degree.
  3. Forerunner is definetly a biggie for the first half of the level. This is due to having an armoury of almost exclusively suppressors and boltshots. This isn't as much of a problem in the latter half as you start getting Lightrifles and plasma weapons. However, I imagine Shutdown isn't pleasnat if you elect not to use the level-shortening glitch to go straight to the end of the level.
  4. Free us of the tyranny of Earth. We do not care for your squabbles, and wars. We came out here to get away from this- so you bring it to our shores, forcing us to turn to the only solution there is. Well, as the old saying goes, if you cannot beat them; join them. And until we can be unafilliated with Earth, we will join the UNCE on the battlefield.

      Speech given by a guy in my novel. I just really liked it, so I decided to post it :D

      Hmm I like Bacon :P Great quote btw

  5. Just a lore tip- the mid-air one can be achieved as the Spartan-IV's store knives in the forearm plating.
  6. I'd suggest you tone down the language you're using, and since you're being so hostile- do not expect any help from me again.
  7. 2553-2558 is 5 years. Entirely possible to capture and possibly create a couple ships. Also, the fleets above the meeting are combined Brute, Arbiter and 'Gajat. Also, Traviss is horrible. She flat out disregards several important canon points and makes many plot holes, I wouldn't use them as an accurate depiction of Elite Society. Remember that Rtas 'Vadum took a large portion of the fleet to wage war on the Brutes.
  8. Like I said, this isn't the style of the entire thing. The rest is a traditional narrative, with five main characters- Fireteam Sledgehammer. It isn't a 'narrator', but rather there to fill in events which can't be explained in the story. Sort of like the part of Lord of The Rings which explains the events of The Hobbit, and various other aspects like Isildur, etc. If you read the second extract, you'd get a better idea of the writing style.
  9. In the Art of Halo 4, there are several SMG concepts and a spartan dual wielding. Also, animations for it were found in the game's files so it is likey that 343 wanted to return it but never had time to do so.
  10. This would work better as an AA- an ability to add temporary cover in front of you for a short time that you can shoot out of. Kinda like Titanfall's Particle shield.
  11. I do not enjoy the motion comic idea. Plus, I am yet to encouner an instance where film>book, so I would naturally prefer the novels.
  12. In the description of the roles for the new TV thing.
  13. Lets look at the amount of games with subtitles- Halo: Combat Evolved Halo 3: ODST Halo Wars Halo: Reach Halo 5: Guardians Halo: Spartan Assault And those without- Halo 2 Halo 3 Halo 4 u wot m8 On the contrary, I'd say they are the most important aspect of the universe right now apart from Mendicant Bias and the Lesser Ark. Installation 07 hasat least 12 proto-graveminds growing on it, Humans have Delta and Gamma Halo's indexes. Research at ivanoff station theorised that I03's (And presumably other) halo indexes have secondary and tertiary functions as well. We certainly haven't seen the last of the array.
  14. The one pinned is very, very out of date, so I'm creating this. Just a list of sources of info, reliablity and time period. Also, Catalog's Waypoint posts are to be taken as canon at the time they are posted. Similarly, things like the eleventh hour reports, HunttheTruth, IRIS, ilovebees,data drops and Canon Fodder should be taken as canon. Because these smaller sources are too numerous to list here, this page only covers released media, though a link to the Halo Archive's "Absolute Record"- a series of transcripts and links of these sources- will be provided. In addition, GrimBrotherOne of 343i confirmed that all visuals and sounds of an Anniversary remake should be taken as canon over the original, one example being the Halo 2 (Anniversary) Gravemind. Similarly, it is now confirmed that the multiplayers of every Halo game take place within the War Games simulations and that every map is also recreated by UNSC technicians for training exercises. Oh yeah, this list only covers purchasable material. Books, games, comics, DVDs and so forth. Aside from the ARG stuff and trailers. So the smaller tidbits aren't included, only things you can buy.

  15. Can we make it compatible for other timezones? Merica time is about 5 hours behind me, so most of the time, I can't join because I refuse to stay up until midnight. Hell, if we can get enough people though, we could go matchmaking and go for some DLC achievements. It would be nice to play on Breakpoint again.
  16. Here is another extract, from the end of the first chapter; “No…” whispered Ryan as he saw the sight before him; two husks of helicopters lay smouldering in the dirt, the armour plating all but melted away to leave only the metal skeleton in the craters, silhouetted by the yellow flames behind. Several bodies lay strewn about the area, in various states of disarray and dismemberment. Those closer to the wreckage had armour fused onto the charred skin, with some even being reduced to skeletons or piles of ash from the attack. Behind the destruction, the faint shape of a large gunship could be seen fading into the night. “What do we do now?” Asked Ryan. He dropped his gun. “There’s nothing we can do.” Replied James, his voice sounded vacant, as though he wasn’t talking to his squad. The soldiers stayed silent. “There’s nothing we can do.”
  17. 1) The background art appears to be Mantle's Approach. Chances are, it's a flashback. 2) This is a plot seed for future stories. However, the Spirit will not feature in the next comic, so it is more likely foreshadowing. 3) It is also unlikely that Majestic will feature in H5 with the possible exception of Thorne. Plus, Demarco was a horrible character. 4) Wil likely not feature. His appearance in this series is minimal and isn't too contributors to story. 5) You didn't need Initiation to play Halo 4. Jun was in Initiation.
  18. Can I have that copy of the Mae you've played? I'd like to play for myself to judge this.
  19. Evidence indicates to Marlowe, a Spartan-IV in training in this years Halo Digital Feature. It is likely to be used to introduce the character for the game, much like Lasky in Forward Unto Dawn.
  20. The Promethean War Sphinx was a guardian- often AI controlled used by the Forerunner Warrior-Servant rate of Prometheans.
  21. That's some pretty good advice mang. Thanks, I'll be sure to take it into account.
