Composite Armour

Pershing stood up and oriented himself. "Ha ha ha ha, that was fun! We should do it again!" He gave a firm headbutt, ignoring the pain. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to give those layabouts something to fix, then drown the night in some whiskey. Up for it later?"

"I can tell you now it wasn't for my rugged looks." He adjusted himself, not letting the pain from his spine phase him. A swift punch came towards his left. He adjusted and countered, grapping the elites arms. He was now staring into his face and without hesitation delivered a swift headbutt, staggering the elite.

U.C.R.S. Unforgiving "Sir, repairs are complete, data has been uploaded, boarding teams are home." "Good, scuttle the vessal." "Done sir. Orders?" "Set a course for this planet here, this should be interesting." "Right away sir." _____________________________________________________________ Observation team, Citadel V polar region. "I understand sir. No sir I.....Yes sir. Right away sir." "What is it Colonel?" "Get your gear and come with me." The Colonel left with his team armed. They could see enemy troops look cautiously at them. He stormed into the base commanders quarters. "Will you mind telling me why you're over limit on troop count?"

((Your spelling and grammar is painful to read. Get someone to spellcheck everything before you post it.))

"Major, troops have reported in. The 14th, 12th and 67th Battalions are in poistion and have set up a line. A Nuclear battery has been set up here. We have recived over 400 drone F/Bs and 20 RAVs. The 18th Armoured division is prepped and we have three motorized divisions ready for deployment." "Good, give me an update in an hour. What about those stealth ships they have?" "As long as they're in atmosphere they can be tracked easily. They wern't designed for planetary operations." "What about our teams report?" "All UNSC or Covenant equipment." "Heh, they sure as hell won't be able to win this war." "I'll send the report to command."

Pershing took the blow and landed himself to the left side of the elite. Reacting quickly, he struck into the lower knee and yanked his arm. It was a quick knee into the side that caused the usual nerve reflex allowing him to flip the 1 tonne beast.

((Right. I'll make sure to break a few bones.)) Pershing assumed an offensive stance and stood ready. He taunted the elite to attack him.

"Heh, I'll bet that was fun. Last time I found myself in a 4 v 1 situation I had to resort to hurtful name calling. Always fun to see those high and mighty types recoil in horror to an unsavory comment about their mothers." He wiped some of the blood off his chestplate with his hand onto the wall. "Hell, I'm already covered in blood, lets get rollin'."

"Cheers." He took a long drink and put his helmet back on afterward. "Mission was a success, lost some guys." He tossed the bottle back to the elite. He began again to perform tricks with his pistol. "Still, got the data, a nice bonus and then nuked the place. New record too, less then an hour completion time." He leaned against the wall, studying the elite. "What about you? Done your first yet?"

I always thought it was to prevent capture of the Autum by the flood.

Pershing walked into the Rec room juggling his M1911. The blue blood was still dripping from his armour. "Anyone know where the drinks are? Not that cheap stuff in the wall."

Who get's to command them though? Attack what? Retreat to where? It would be akward to use and is probably best left out. Though there could be an option to command grunts to suicide charge.....

I did think about commanding the AI somewhat, but I did not see a way it could be done easily without detracting from the expierence. It's easier to just let them go themselves. Plus, their target prioritys should have them at the center of the action.

Pershing proceeded towards the drop bay of the frigate, making sure his Helljumpers were prepped and ready. He walked through the doors and gave a nod to each of the troopers as he walked by. They stood and watched him intently as he turned around. "Alright girls, I hope you know what today is!" "Ace?" "It's the rookies first mission against the dinosaurs. I hope you made him feel real confident. It's gonna' be a hell of a mission rookie, boss gave us the big toys to play with." He pointed over towards the heavily armoured pod, which was being loaded with a nuclear device. "Now, let's get a quick review of the plan. We're dropping one mile south of the station here. From there, we have almost an hour to get the job done. Anything after that and the cruiser here will be too close for Pelicans to land." He looked up and stared each of the troopers in the eye before continuing. "Now, we're gonna' have two teams. Yours truly will be leading the recovery team to extract the data from this site here. Team 2 led by Higgins will be in charge of the bomb. You'll be planting it here. Remember, 5 minutes to detonation. Extraction bird will be meeting us here. Also keep an eye out for this target." He produced a picture and passed it around. "He'll be wearing greenish armour. Top elite weapons researcher. There's a nice bonus to our pay if we bag him alive, less if he's dead and verified. Any questions? Good, time to party." The troopers proceeded into their pods and Pershing began the ready check. He sat himself into the metal coffin and strapped in. "Helljumpers ready for drop, just give the order." "Confirmed, countdown begining." The beeps slowly went by and before he knew it he could see nothing but atmosphere. He looked around for the nuclear casket and watched it closely. Techs better have done it right or it was going to be a short mission. "If the rookie dies, I call dibs on the ammo!" "If the rookie dies, you're going to carry the body back to earth yourself. Thats an order." "Shut it ladies, incoming plasma fire." "Shades, nothin' to worry about." "IMPACT!" The pods thundred down and smashed into the ground, bursting open to reveal bullets and muzzle flashes. "Go, secure the bomb pod. Team 1 on me!" They proceeded through, engaging the light poistions along the way. A loose collection of under-equipped aliens guarding a weapons lab was nothing compared to fighting the Covenant. The inexpierence showed when the ODSTs blew through quickly. "This is team 1, we have breached the southern defenses, proceeded up now." "Confirmed, 47 minutes left." "Alright, we're heading to the main structre now." Lone grunts that saw the squad ran in sheer terror. Jackels formed ineffective lines and were led by semi skilled leaders. "Thought there would be more fight from a place like this." "Intel placed a much stronger force here. Sleeping maybe?" It wasn't long before that changed. An Elite ultra team set up poistions in the central chamber and quicly tore one of the troopers to pieces. A long drawn out firefight ensued, taking the lives of two more troopers. The elites fell back to the core, daring the ODSTs to come after them. "This is team 1, we were engaged by an elite spec ops squad, three KIA. What's your status?" "Only encountered minor resistance, no losses. We're waiting for your go." Pershing recovered the dog tags and looked towards the remaing four troopers. Only the rookie was visibly shaken. "Kid, take that rocket launcher." "Sir I..." "That's an order." They moved forward and stopped outside the door to the central chamber. Very carefully they placed a breaching charge and assumed poistions. "CLEAR!" The door burst open and they stormed in. Only a single elite was in the room. They moved slowly towards him aiming their guns. It was their bonus. They all wondered where the other elites were. "He's got the data, detain him." "Wait, hold poistions!" "Ace?" "Where are the elites." They engaged their VISRs and noticed how two of their troopers were held at sword point without them knowing it. It was almost and instant before the elites disarmed them and held them hostage. "Anyone speak alien?" "They're going to use them as bait to escape." Pershing noticed the rookie aiming his sidearm towards them. "Kid, draw that laucher." "Sir?!" "Do it." The elites became tense at this, the troopers were nearly suffocating. Pershing looked towards both of the troopers and nodded. The nodded back. "Let loose the dogs of war!" The rookie fired the launcher, killing the elites as well as the troopers. Pershing verified the body and recovered any bits of intel he could find. He patted the rookie on the shoulder as he began to walk out. "You did alright. Team 2, we're done here. activate the bomb, then double time it to the EZ." "Confirmed." "Alright, lets go. Move it people!"

I could do something. Just give me a layout.

That's it then?

Brothers in arms is awful on the new version. Classic all the way.

OP updated.

Forget that, but why has the UNSC abanonded critical elements of warfare? And why do they have such weak tanks?

Pershing made himself at home in his new quarters the usual way: Shooting empty whisky bottles and performing tricks with his pistol. After he finished cleaning, he made his way to tour the various areas. The extensive armoury immeadiatly drew him in. "Heh, I'm gonna' like it here."

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.

I'll give it a go.

You don't hit SR 90. You hit SR 88 and end up playing Halo 3.

Only if we get Scorpions with 120mm HEAT weapons, coxial machine guns and 250mm armour.

Name: Pershing "Ace" Affiliation(What class they are): Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, 405th "Hells Angels" Division. Rank: Sergeant Major Appearance: ODST Armour with an ACU camo paintjob and Up armoured with composite plates. Weapon of choice: Customised MA5B (4x scope, Grenade launcher, Laser sight, Longer barrel), Heavily customised M1911, Combat knife. History: Born on earth during the start of the Covenant war, Pershing was eager to join the UNSC as soon as he could. After a fight with his parents about his future however, he left and joined the UNSC at the age of 15, taking nothing with him but an M1911. He proved himself solid underfire, though he had trouble working with a team. Once he had completed his first tour of duty, he was given the nickname "Ace" for the destruction of several wraiths all by himself. Finding himself loving the action and thrill of combat, he soon found himself in the boots of a Helljumper. Noted many times for acts of daring and valour, his record was tarnished by the numerous reports of inapporpiate behaviour towards superior officers. He found himself stuck at the rank of Sergeant major at less then 30 years old. He wouldn't have it any other way.
