Composite Armour

The Unforgiving docked the craft and proceded towards the fleet. The teams were then escorted aboard several transport craft and flown down to the planet. They were led to a large open field with three people and Several tanks behind them. A woman stepped forward to meet them, accompanied by four guards. "I'm president Sevina of the United Colonial Republic, what brings you here?" Their was a situation brewing on the other side of the planet however. Masses of unidentified craft were entering the planet. High-altitude interceptors were on their way to engage them, only several minutes outside weapons range.

Wait, so your at my planet now too? This is going to get messy. I like it.

The Admiral took some time to consider the request. "Dipolmatic you say? Very well, the Unforgiving will meet with your transports at 10000KM and will escort your team to the meeting of place of the planet. You may have no more then three transport vessals and two escorts per vessal. Are these terms agreeable? I will await your response." He closed the channel for the time being. One of the crewmen spoke up. "Sir, one of their ships vanished from our sensors some time ago, we can't find it now." "Cloaking device maybe? Can they even do that now? I'm going to assume that now, but we won't do anything yet. If it enters the atmosphere, it's going to be brought down immeadietly. It can only observe us." "Prepare the transport to the surface. Tell the General and the President what the situation is."

The Admiral looked over the screen. "They're finally here. Get the fleet into a defensive poistion, alert the ground!" The Unrelenting launched several interceptors and put them in key tactical poistions. One of the bridge officers signaled the Admiral to come over to him. "What is it LT?" He looked at the screen. "Open the communication! Attention Alien vessels, state your intentions immeadietly. Entering a 20000KM radius will be seen as an act of agression!"

Also, can someone make contact with my faction please? I'm going to be kind of stuck until they do.

Also one thing. If anyone is going to make a move towards someone else, can we annonuce it here first? It could get confusing other wise.

It's only armour. Anything that's classed as Anti-matierial or larger can pierce it. It's resistant to HE, small arms and plasma weapons, but not immune. Sustained fire will break it. Just like spartans.

The Grand Admiral entered the bridge of the U.C.R.S. Unreleting. He looked at the reports coming in. "First and third armys have been moblised, Armed forces on secondary alert, All bays reporting combat ready. The situation on the entire planet was tense. They had been alone for a long time and now the galaxy was about to come knocking on their door. They would watch and wait, until either the covenant tried to burn the planet from their cold, dead hands, or the UNSC tried to "reclaim" it's property.

Well of course. If it bleeds, it can die.

Murphy leaned back, still watching Ty face off against the elites. He began thinking about recent events and what had happened. He still had the piece of elites armour. It was good for him though, he was glad things were somewhat back to normal. Just him and the covenant. Like they should be.

After playing the two new episodes for H4, I realised that there should be some major improvments to it. 1. A seperate loadout system: This is one of my annoyances with the Spartan ops in Halo 4. Mainly due to a story thing. We're playing the role of UNSC spartans, so why is the extent of our weapons limited to the AR, BR and DMR. We should be able to use any UNSC weapon as part of our loadout and prevent us from using any non UNSC weapon. 2. Elite ops: Allow for a 4v4 version of Spartan ops, in which their is a team of elites on the opposite side. It is an entirely optional mode and would allow for some interesting games. 3. Customisation: Bring back the firefight customisation and let us set things like Skulls, enemy types, lives, hazards, mission timers and traits. It can only improve things. 4. Variety: This is probably the biggest one and really struck me after Episode 7. We're on the Infinity, we need to repel boarders! Should we take a broadsword or Pelican into space? Should we crusie along the vehicle bays in a Scorpion? Should we man the railguns and shoot down enemy aircraft? Nope, hanger, servers, hanger, servers, engines, servers, hanger, done. Really annoying. They should also cut down on backtracking.

I'm want to add a specifc unit to my faction, but I'm not sure if it will be OP. Project Cerberus: The aim of this project was to create a unit that attacked with such overwhelming force, the enemy would crumple under the sheer assualt alone. It was concived after the U.C.R ran a war game in which Blue team was unable to breach Red team's defensive line. The gurellia doctrine was altered shortly after, but many generals realised the need for dedicated assualt force. The result was the Cerberus unit, called such because the black armour and red visors made them appear as something from hell itself. Having a budget of over 300 million credits per soldier, this is the best equppied unit in the U.C.R's armed forces. Only the best are put through a brutal screening process and then given extensive cybernetic and genetic enhancements. It currently has over 1200 soldiers. Armour Specs: 2cm thick composite adaptive plating. Thermal and Chemical insulation, allowing for use in NBC enviroments. Enhanced strentgh and physical performance. Onboard computer that provides a constant stream of intel and communicates with other units in the battlefield. Sensor package that alerts the wearer to the direction of incoming fire. Self destruct system. HUD that allows user to view status of his weapon. X-1 Assualt weapon: .50 Cal(Rifle). Built in IR laser. Built in Underslug railgun. Built in dual optic that allows either a CCO or 4x Magnifaction sight. 100 round box magazine. Experimental coolent system. Max range of 1.2 miles.

Present Day Infnity. Murphy walked in to see Ty performing on the simulation.The elites were constantly taking him down. Murphy listened to the advice others gave him. "Don't they teach these kids anything beyond how to use a rifle?" He drew his knife and looked at the notches on it. He performed several tricks with it before holstering it again. Time for some advice of his own. "look kid, you gotta face the fact that out in the field your rifle won't always be there. Now if you want to beat those Elites, listen closely." Murphy leaned forward and studied the ODST carefully. "Those ******** are probably twice your weight, use it against them. Goad them into a charge and then dive towards the leg oppisite their weapon arm. Now quickly readjust yourself and hit as hard as you can on the upper knee. Now for the fun part, grab the hand by the wrist and knee it in the elbow. It should trigger a reflex that will open it's hand, disarming it. Draw your knife and stab in the spine just below the neck." Murphy stood up straight again. He looked towards the other Spartan. "Didn't they put you through survival training?"

If there's one thing I miss from reach it was the gritty ODST armour. It just looked sweet with all those attachements and plates, like my spartan was planning to be in the field along time. I miss this look. I'm now just using the old school MK VI. Anyways, would you like to see the ODST armour and misc options(Like cases, wrist pads, those things) return? Note: due to my OCD, anything that looks kinda' like the ODST armour but is not the ODST armour will not work for me.

Elites need more armour. Grunts need their funny english back again. Marines need their funny lines back.

Is it okay if we post stuff about our factions military equipment? Just so everyone gets a better idea of who's using what. Also we just need one more guy!

I died a few times at first, but once I got used to the new weapons and the broken promethean AI, it was a piece of cake.

Why change to expermiental technology over the tried and true? Although I do question why the UNSC uses an inferior tank design to Real world tanks. The Scorpion is the equal of a WWII experiment tank.

"That depends, you have a gun that can shoot 130mm rounds? If not, I could use someone on mine. Just don't get the floor dirty." Murphy popped the hatch and tossed the Spartan a 12Kg shell, giving gestures for him to climb aboard.

Agreed with the OP. Halo 3 is still the king of custom games, why can't they just learn from it?

Shotgun got a range buff, which put it back on top as king of CQC weapons. Scattershot is just awful.

Fallout 4 is most likely going to be set in Boston. I'm really worried what might happen to fallout after Skyrim, but hopefully Bethesda will learn from Obsidian and maybe hire an actual writer. Actually, just get obsidian back. They know how to make a true Fallout game.

I was really dissappointed by Halo 4. 1. Little comedy relief: Halo 4 was trying to be too serious. It lacks that charm of Halo games. There's little to no comedy anywhere. The only one I can think of is the Mantis thing and even that was easily missed. Cortanta was too busy dying to say anything witty and chief was too human to say his epic one liners. Johnson isn't around for awesome speeches and grunts don't speak english. Marines, where?! Too dark for a Halo game. 2. The music is gone: Marty was a massive loss to the series. There was barley any music that could be heared over that sweet sound railgun and when it could be heard it was just generic. Part of what makes Halo memorable is the music. They should just reuse the old games soundtracks. 3. That was it? No epic battles, no memorable battles(Also partly due to music). I remember in Halo 1 fighting flood and the covenant on the bridge in Two betrayals, Dropping in from a damaged covenant cruiser into a warzone in Keyes and landing for a beach assualt. Halo 2 had me boarding a scarab, punching a prophet to death and fighting in the midst of a covenant civil war. Halo 3 had me leading a tank charge against several Scarabs, Fighting with the flood against a greater threat and clearing a landing zone for a frigate. Halo 4 had me.....ummm......shooting covenant? 4. No AI vs AI. Halo 1: Flood vs covenant. Halo 2: Flood vs elites vs brutes vs forerunners. Halo 3: Elites vs brutes vs flood. Halo 4: Covenant and forerunners together?

If they fix a lot of crap then yes. Halo wars was a terrible RTS game.

Murphy was moving along the ships dorcel highway, engaging any targets of opputunity he saw along the way. He was making good progress considering he had to drive, stop, acquire targets, load the gun, aim and fire all by himself. Repeat for every single skrimish. "Auto loader is the next priority, screw the mini-fridge." He sighted covenant armour ahead, a welcome change from the infected freaks. Patching into the comm channel reserved for ODST's he made a request. "Anyone listening in to this, I need someone who can aim, lift heavy stuff and spot freaks to meet me at junction 221. First come gets to pick what they want to do."
