[@SKYGAZE]

Yeah give me stuff similar to the Halo 3 Mod tools, I just want to place Frigates in my skybox.

[@CommissarChaotic]

Imagine Forging in a Frigate but it acts similar to a Bastion in PS2. I wish I had a better graphics card so I can up the quality a little... That first time I was fighting hard on an uphill battle and just seeing a big text that says "(name) has called their Bastion planetside", like man I looked up and there it was! It was so big! It led to an experience where I followed a bunch of tanks on the road and stopped as they also stopped at a NC base all firing hell on the poor base while the Bastion rained its own bombardment from above casting a shadow over the base... Now imagine Halo with that kind of experience! It would be awesome!

[@macko1416]

Be crazy to have these as like Support artillery in a single player mission

[@Yorkington]

I love how the UNSC went back to prewar frigate aesthetics: double pronged prow, nacelles, bridge looking like it's on top. But no lower troop bay.

[@rioutous0rchid09]

This ones a lighter class, like the grafton as opposed to the larger multi role ships like the dawn

[@Yorkington]

@@rioutous0rchid09 There was no real significant size difference between UNSC frigates, the Dawn and Grafton are such ships. And the Grafton is a Paris-class, the largest of the standardized frigate types. The Dawn is a Charon, largest troop bay but still slightly smaller than a Paris.

[@sirshotty7689]

Gabe Newell not necessarily, but if it was at the same height as that covenant ship which seeing as its surrounded in some type of cumulus or stratocumulus clouds would mean that it's 2,000 meters above sea level at most (assuming this planet has everything the same as earths atmosphere) then you sure as hell won't be seeing very much. And if you're directly under it at that height then you'll definitely be correct in that statements. But considering the immense size of supercarriers are they even capable of being in atmosphere let alone being only a couple kilometers from the planets surface?

I'm hoping in campaign we find out the shield tech from infinity has made its way out to the rest of the human fleet.

[@BJJGamer]

Good news and bad news. Good news is, by Halo 5, all human ships have shielding. These mainly consist of: Autumn class heavy cruisers, Strident class heavy frigates and Anlace class light frigates and a host of other new age ships, with of course the Infinity itself. Bad news is, by the events of Halo Infinite, the entire human fleet was lost to the created, while the Infinity was destroyed by the Banished. This effectively leaves the UNSC with no fleet whatsoever.

[@spartancecchi]

@@BJJGamer the ENTIRE human fleet? Holy shit dude

[@tacoking1333]

Nah not the entire fleet just the Earth defence fleet and any ships around worlds that Cortana took over, there's probably plenty of ships that weren't near any planets like the Spirit of Fire so we'll probably see a few of those show up in infinate for a big space battle

[@spartanK42]

One thing I noticed with this new Frigate is while it follows the classic design of UNSC frigates closely, its side panels doesn't have engines attached to it like in the previous ones.

[@mikaelferrer1015]

Is this the return of the paris-class heavy frigate???

[@BegocerL]

It looks like that upper part of the nose, where it has small viewports(?), has the same layout of the crashed ship from the first gameplay release, just after chief gets the hog.

No I think it’s a MAC just they made it look cool with the blue colors unlike what they did in halo 4 I think it’s the new type of smaller more powerful MAC like on the infinity witch is why it’s in the middle of the ship instead of being in one of the top or lower area
