Composite Armour

Banned for banning others because they banned someone else for questionable raisins.

But they didn't, So I complain and hope they do and then not care about the people who complain about the best game ever because I will be playing the best game ever.

I hope they're gone. At least the flood was fun to fight.

It's too young to die!

I don't see why it must change. Hell, the industry seems to detest change and promote similar gameplay. I don't see why 343 couldn't have just gone with improvement over change.

Is that where you must escape? If I remember right, you can jump and hit the tip of the banshee to negate the fall damage.

I agree with the OP. The classic, unique Halo gameplay has been replaced with some abomination of Halo/CoD. Armour abilities were the first step in the wrong direction. They were implemented in the wrong way, though they do have a place in game play. However, they need to be made like equipment on H3. Have them spread around the map, make us want to contest their spawns for control. Sprint. Bad idea, doesn't fit Halo. Makes small maps, smaller and large maps not so large. Loadouts. No. Get rid of them from matchmaking. Halo's gameplay always had two teams with equal equipment, with skill being the only factor. Not anymore, now it's just picking the right gun for the map. This can ruin the gameplay of some maps like Valhalla. Ordnance. Out with it. It's just a bad game mechanic that punishes dedication and rewards deathmatch style play. Gone are the glorious days of contesting the power weapons, holding the banshee spawn and memorizing that early shotgun.

Halo: CE. Awsome Story, Awesome Gameplay, Awesome Chief, Awesome Shotgun.

Because the only thing Chief said in H4 is "Cortana". I'd rather they focus on the bigger picture.

Alright, lets set the scene... A Covenant fleet slightly larger then the ones that took Reach arrive at Mars heading to Earth. But what's this then? There's no UNSC in sight! It turns out, due to Tachyon emissions, that they have arrived at a completely different universe. But there still going to try and take it. So how would the Covenant fare trying to take Earth in your favorite Sci-fi universe? Just remember, they can't glass it because it's holy. So would they wipe the floor, get mopped or what?

Wait until more Info is released.

All weapons, All maps, All vehicles, All game types and game modes. Think of it as fan service. Would you want the entire sandbox? It doesn't all have to be included in matchmaking, just forge at least.

Call me crazy, but should ODSTs wear ODST armour?

I bet that when the next-next gen comes out the 360 will still have more players then the ecksbawks juan.

Whose with me in wanting to see these as a customization option?

Re posted. Deal with it. Thread locked. YOU deal with it. Alright, this is basically a fusion of Firefight and invasion. It has two teams, Attackers and Defenders. It is a large AI and Player vs AI and Player Each round is broken up to five seven minute phases. During these phases, the attackers must complete the objective to advance the phase. Defenders must eliminate all enemy AI and deplete the players attacking players lives or survive until times up. Certain maps have unique support that can aid or hinder a side. Attackers: They must complete a series of objectives allowing their AI allies to advance. Three times during a phase, attackers will recive AI reinforcements at 5:00, 3:00 and 1:00. Upon completion of a objective, a resupply and extra reinforcements are provided. The defenders get tougher however. AI allies will treat enemy players as priority targets and will not be able to complete objectives. Attackers recive extra lives after completeing objectives. Defenders: Their objective is to eliminate all enemy AI and Players or survive the time limit. They recive reinforcements only after an objective has been lost and will have a superior poistion to attackers. AI will prioritise defending the objective. It's a covie vs UNSC gametype.

Murphy had certainly taken his time in choosing his gear. But "better to be then to be jackal bait" as they say. He looked around for a pelican ready for deployment. There were many coming and going. It looked like he had missed the part and was only there for the cleaning. Boarding the pelican, he was only asked "Where to?" "Wherever you're going." As he lifted off, he caught an amazing view of New Mombasa. Fires, bullets, plasma. An aerial battle for supremacy between UNSC and Covenant fighters. The massive carrier sitting there, silent and ominous. "Actually, scratch that. Deploy me in the inner city, fast rope descent."

Are we going to have random brutes show up like ODST or will it be elites still?

Bacon, you've just kinda' left me there.

Ah ok then, I'll fix it now.

Isn't the munitions depot the command center?

(Can someone make sure that I have everything correct? I'll edit where needed.) SFC Murhpy, ODST M255, Time unknown, somewhere on the outskirts of Mombassa. "Argh, son of a..." Murhpy woke up to a feeling of pain, most likely coming from the pile of scrap he was buried under. He mustered the strentgh to free himself from the twisted wreck, stumbling to his feet. Getting his bearings and doing a few quick excercises to make sure he was okay to hoof it. "Nothing's broken I guess, sure fee.....aw crap!" He only then realised that he had in fact broken something. He picked the tatterd remains of his backpack up, but no sign of the contents. He was lucky to have the hardcase at least. The outskirts of the city were quiet, save for the odd Longsword or Seraph. The city it's self looked anything but. Fires raging, bullets, plasma, bombings, artillery and that massive Carrier hovering over the area. He ran for what felt like hours until he was lucky enough to come across a marine patrol. After a short, rather uneventful trip, he found himself at some munitions depot. He was directed to the CO and introduced himself. "SFC Murphy, sir! Scorpion, ready to sting!"

I'm back now. Just need all the details such as current events, time and points of interest.

Name: Murphy Rank: Staff Sergeant Service Tag: M255 ODST Appearance(physical and face): Short black hair, blue eyes and a light beard. Service Tag tattoed on his forehead. Armour: Up armoured ODST BDU with Black armoured plates over a urban camo scheme with a red visor and squad emblem on the shoulders, chest and sides of the helmet. Weapons: Combat knife, M6G Magnum, Modifed BR with an IR scope, Heavy barrel, Underslug Grenade launcher, slightly larger magazine, lighter trigger pull, Laser sight, Ammo counter replaced with a navigation interface and a urban camo paintjob. Specialty: Urban combat, Warthog driving. History/backstory: Born in a small town in the Nevada desert, Murphy enrolled as soon as he was 16 to get out of that "Boring farmboy life" he said he was destined for if he stayed there. He proved to be an execellent marine and passed with flying colours. Deciding he wanted more out of his career, he applied to be an ODST. He soon found himself with the "Scorpions", an ODST sqaud with a proven record against the innies and an impressive count of destroyed Covenant materiel. Two tours of duty with the Squad at various skrimishes with the Covenant and Murphy was an accomplished member. It all went to hell at Reach. During a hostage rescue training excercise in New Alexandria, the squad found it's self on the frontline during the Covenant attack. After two days of non-stop fighting, the squad was reduced to just three memebers. They found themselves with Spartan team GUANTLET assisting in evac operations. It was at during a battle at New alexandria's orbital elevator, that the remenets of the squad was faced with an Elite spec ops team led by a Zealot. Murphy's remaing comrades fell and he was forced to detonate a frag at lethal range to kill the Zealot. Suffering a fatal blow to the chest, Murphy was evaced and sent to earth. There he recoverd and was awaiting re-assignmet aboard Cape town station when the Covenant appeard. He now bears the honour of the last Scorpion to go into combat.

Doesn't matter, Halo 3 is better then both.
