[@RubixRaptor]

Holy guacamole I did not expect this series to do so well. Thanks so much for all the Halo love! Also as some of you may have noticed we had to shut down recruitment for the group due to the MASSIVE amount of awesome people that joined. Recruitment will open at a future date but for now our understaffed recruitment section needs to filter through all the new peeps.

[@bloodprophecy887]

I'm a huge Halo and Arma Fan. My Question is, is this the first itteration of the Halo mod? Cause it looks like it's missing massive content. No map, no aliens, nothing. Not even laser or plasma weapons. Only bad reworked rifles and bad odst models :/

are there any other halo servers out there?

Because the people who made the mod love halo, the people who made the last two halo games, hate halo and don’t understand what it means to make a halo game

Don’t call me a 343 shill but come on guys 343 wanted to try a new sci fi art style which they achieved, and whilst we may not like others do like the new art style and even though this comment thread was made before we knew as much info about infinite and it’s art style as we do know halo infinite is proof they wish to please us the bungie bois TM, it also is trying to appeal to the new fans who like the sci fi art style there are two sides to every coin guys and I don’t think 343 hates halo, they just wanted to show their creative vision of halo that we disliked PS sorry if there’s spelling errors or grammatical mistakes I’m doing this on mobile and I’m not good at typing so sorry for any mistakes in my non bias argument

[@liamcoakley1822]

Lord Dankchanka people are welcome to like what they like, if they like it. I don’t, and that’s also okay. Though I don’t think it’s out of line to say that the new games don’t fit well with the originals aesthetic. Even infinite, though it’s clearly taken some steps in the right direction

[@sixfootdworf9545]

A tactical shooter by 343, with ODSTs, or Marines as the main characters would be awesome. ODST was cool, but not a tac shooter. I mean, a shooter, where against all odds, (you) a marine/ODST is fighting the covenant and dealing with resource issues due to insurgents. The game could show a campaign against the covenant, during the early stages of the war, where humanity is being pushed back, or maybe during Reach. You go on several deployments and end up losing battles. You get to see Spartans in a new way, towering over you, silent, faceless, with an air of power and respect. You only see Spartans once or twice during the entire game. Maybe you see a scene kind of like Titan fall 2, where your injured, and you get to witness a Spartan kill a pack of grunts, two or three Elites, and administer aid to you. Maybe to see a Spartan go *"MIA"* in a blaze of glory. Why do I choose MIA? Because Spartans, even with all their power, respect, and sacrifice... Spartans never die, they are only missing in action.
