The Vietnam War Except It's Halo | Arma 3

Putting Halo into Vietnam Mike Force, what could go wrong?
The UNSC frigate "Fires of Arcadia" and it's compliment of marines garrison on a distant jungle world in order to crush a local insurrection on the planet's colonial province. Turns out it's rather hard to do when they've all become guerilla fighters and nothing short of a carpet bombing brings them out of the jungle.

This ended up being way more fun than we expected lol. Thanks to Tails for going into an isolation chamber and switching out all the halo assets to make this mission. We’ll probably make him do another sci-fi universe next c:

The Halo ops are my favorite by a mile, maybe it's because Halo is one of my favorite game series ever, maybe it's the uniquely insane energy these ops have. All I know is I love them a lot.

And they show us the life of the MARINES. Too much focus on the Spartans in the Halo games I feel like.

I love Ignis, you're all so willing to be cooperative with one another even during the worst of plans. It reminds me of a group of ants trying to form a living bridge upwards, towards some sort of sap or fruit, only to topple over one another continuously until a bird spots the giant mass of food and picks them off. It's truly the greatest of bonds, the kind that even deteriorating brain cells can't get in the way of

Quick insight into the 5B sounds. Our sound devs were able to locate the exact stock sound that the Halo: CE MA5B used. No, it’s not a rip, we located the exact file and where it came from, so it sounds like the AR from CE. Though, A3 does sounds weird and it doesn’t exactly sound like CE but it’s as close as we could get atm

[@ObsidionshadowX]

This video stands as the perfect example as to why Halo needs a large scale warfare mode. It would just be too great. Wonder why they haven't done it yet. (Warzone doesn't really count)

[@C0rrupted1]

No idea if there's one of it, but I want to see Ignis handle something from Mass Effect. Just the idea of ya'll battling Krogans for whatever reason brings me joy.

I needed a good laugh, and you guys in Ignis are all gloriously unhinged and never fail to put a smile on my face. Cheers man. Oh man, this is such a fun video to watch. Halo has some mild 'Nam vibes already, but this not only seems natural but also incredibly fun. Vietnamese Innies, descendents of Charlie, with MA5Bs is scary.

what is it with Ignis, sci fi, and taxes?

[@soggycracker5934]

The MA5 series are in now way functionally superior to current production rifles. And in many ways are inferior(heavily), especially once you take the magic(fact that devs had no idea how firearms work) out of the equation. And in the Halo universe, they are less than useless. the UNSC would have been nearly as well off with bog-standard AKMs, or M4s.
