Yeah, the reach one is probably 'more realistic' if you look at what an actual soldier typically looks like today but but halo has always had clean lines/art style, not a fan of adding more kitbash clutter stuff

Grim said it will not happen due to the shareholder desires leaning towards human themes.

For a second, I thought it was the Gigachad

CE marine armor is perfect because it displays the ingenuity and desperation of humanity during the war.
Ablative armor that is intended to be torn away and discarded after being hit by plasma, no time or resources to armor everyone with fancy armor or shielding so everyone gets plated up like an ancient man at arms

Halo 1 had the best marines because they're the most like BOBs from Marathon, right down to the useless eyepiece thing.

Dog legs on bipeds look so fucking dumb (inb4 Dinos).

>add lighting everywhere to show off assets

isnt it in the lore that humanity had to switch armors to combat the convenant due to their plasma based weaponry? and thats why the plating is a thing?

That makes sense, yeah. What's the point of armors that for centuries have been designed to stop bullets, when the covies are throwing globs of plasma at you? You'd want as much Unobtanium on your chest between you and searing hot plasma as possible.

Can't really put much of a plate there because of how much it would inhibit mobility.
>just make it really small!
Then is it worth all the straps and set up if it barely covers anything?
There's always a trade off between mobility and armor.

Ideally how would a marine game work? You'd be playing as some footsoldier mook without all the supersoldier perks of master chief or elite training of an ODST, facing aliens with better weapons and recharging shields.
I like the idea of being the average pawn in a larger battle for a change, but how would that translate into gameplay?

Microsoft basically told Saber "make it look like it was released TODAY, reuse assets if you have to. Also, you've got 6 months (or some other stupidly tight deadline)".

>but how would that translate into gameplay?
Exactly like Halo 3 ODST?

One of the things I really like about their dynamic in CE is displayed when she rejoins Chief after Spark's betrayal. Or rather isn't displayed. She acts like a total cunt while she's hooked into the ring but when it's time to go the pair are right back to business. Halo 3 would have had a sappy piano moment as she regains her senses and if it were 4 there would have been a whole cutscene where she apologizes. But in CE they're a team with a job to do and no time to waste. I get that people like how their relationship developed I guess but I always thought it was better when it was understated, their partnership evidenced by playful banter and loyalty to the mission. But even 3, for as thick as it laid it on, was still subtle as fuck compared to 4.

They don't look like that in-game though, they actually look like shit. 3/Reach have the best marines.

Bad example, that level looks better. Should've posted 343 GS.

Can someone edit this marine to be a gigachad marine? Pretty please with a cherry on top.

They were building their super Mary Sue ship before the war even ended, and then slapped rejiggered Covenant tech onto it to make it turbo big dick.

Honestly I wouldn't mind the Reach marines so much. The problem is they used the army trooper models.

Source? I though Heroic was the canon difficulty

Heroic is the way the game is meant to be played. In lore enemies and allies get shredded. Shields help a little but not much. Also anyone else having issues with Yea Forums's servers?

Then again, The Fall of Reach had Linda trying to snipe a Sangheili ranger. She hit him with five rounds and his shields were still up.

>using the books as establish canon over the games

The Jerry cans on the nu-hogs are full of water. Warthogs run on hydrogen.

Not necessarily.
They likely have strong tendons and springy ligaments with very powerful muscles. It's all in how the architecture is built. Take the Kangaroo for example.

There should be widespread crime and obsene amount of Drug use from people that don't care and have nothing to lose with open hostility to the UNSC that from their perspective isn't doing dick.

I thought in the book where Mr. Chief got his shields, they were tested by having him surrounded and fired at by marines (simplified, paraphrased), and the shields performed surprisingly well in this scenario.

>Also anyone else having issues with Yea Forums's servers?
Yup.

When he was facing one assault rifle hitting him with one or two bursts he was okay, but as soon as multiple marines started firing on him, his shields went down very quickly.

Way I see it, with the numerous canonical variants of the same firearms passing around, the closer the war gets to Earth and the more it drags on our homeworld, the more the better-optimized and efficient weaponry gets passed around or maybe tweaked for handling shields. Not like we had many colonies dragging down or stretching the supply lines of the war effort at that point, and the further you got in the games the more deadly human weaponry seemed to get (besides shit H2 pistol)

For ODST, yes.

This sort of lore shit would drag down Halo just as much as 343's stuff does. Halo does need some convoluted plot, just space marines fighting aliens. That said, the whole Infinity thing was bullshit. Just set the new games some ten years later with a small expeditionary force. Comment that most of the UNSC is dedicated to rebuilding (no need to go into specifics) and that this small force is basically there to maintain a presence and make former Covenant members think they're better off than they are.

to be fair thats halo 1 armor.
halo 3 covered the gut region and was more tactical and thiught out

>Ideally how would a marine game work?

For all games. Master Chief isn’t that strong. He had to drag the covenant bomb out of the space station in Halo 2.

Name a more kino shot in Halo cinematics than this, protip: you cant

Silly statement. We don't know how heavy that bomb was.

Don't even think this far.

Bro it's basic logic. In the games a marine can take a quarter mag of AR fire and literally not even care. IRL you'd drop to the ground screaming after taking one or two bullets. As soon as your shields drop you drop, there's no giga HP bar that friendlies and enemies have that lets them keep tanking rounds after their armor is gone.

The flood elites in anniversary are the low poly Halo 3 models while the regular elites are poorly rigged reach bipeds. This series was (once) Microsoft's crown jewel btw.

How would a joint human-elite spec ops squad operate?
Hard mode: none of the humans are Spartans. ODSTs at most. Keep in mind that this makes the elites far stronger and faster.
Dante Must Die mode: None of the humans have personal shields, not even jackal-esque wrist mounted contraptions

it does when you send your huge army battalion to the twin towers planet only for it to get elite jihaded and wipe everyone out there

Well prior to Halo 2 Demo Earth looked fairly normal and not a polluted Hive world shithole with city on top of city so there's probably moderate farmlands. But noway near enough to feed the stranded colonist populations.

Task elites with pointman positions when outdoors to take fire and suppress the enemy, jackal and riflemen flank and murder anything the elites find.

When indoors swap the roles. Jackal pointmen with shields and marines backing them up since space is a much bigger issue and fights are going to end quicker. Elites stay outside and stop anyone from exiting the buildings.

Humans fighting at range while invisible Sanghili mark targets and wreck havoc up close.

That's super ironic since they were the ones who started the war in the first place.

Reminder that literally the entire human-covenant war started because some jackal pirate captain got horny and wanted get rich quick so she could have babies with him.

>would drag down halo
Bull fucking shit it would. That sort of stuff would properly flesh out Halo than the stupid 343 shit ever did. It would explain why Chief is stranded for so long because the UNSC is locked down on Earth indefinitely fighting constant food shortages, power brownouts and the unbelievable wave of crime from Colonists to native Earth citizens. Almost peak instability with the UNSC on the verge of collapse. Could also be a scene to show why Arbiter and the Elites aren't on Earth because of a violent encounter with colonist vagrants. They're surrounded by brass and millitary never encountering the people actually effected by the war and want nothing more than to kill the alien bastards who put them in the shit to begin with.

A Jackal has much better vision then a Human but Humans have more mass, better ass and incredible sass. Expect Jackals to be reagated to marksmen and battlefield support roles.

Why does Halo Reach have the best UNSC?

You have to wonder why the ODSTs weren't issued arm shields like the Jackals have. Those jackal shields were the first thing the UNSC reverse engineered, you'd think they would capitalize on the technology. I wouldn't expect it to be cheap enough to distribute to the rank and file but you'd think they would spring for their spec ops soldiers to get it.

Eternal reminder that Falcon >>> Hornet

Unironically based and redpilled.
Its because playtesters kept shooting glowing shields whenever they saw them. Another thing the fucking apes that playtest games ruined for us.

What's with playtesters having a fucking mouldy pineapple for a brain? It's the exact reason there were no friendly Hunters and Grunts in Halo 3. Why and how do the dumbest people play these games first and ruin them?

Game devs deliberately hire the dumbest people they can find to playtest because doing so presents a worst-case scenario that is more useful for finding bugs and snags in the game design. If anyone tells you that they play test for a living, be wary.

Why the fuck do stupid people even exist from an evolutionary standpoint? How did they live to pass on genes?

Again, this is all shit that doesn't belong in Halo. People don't want this shit. They want to kill aliens and save humanity. All Halo 4 needed was a small human force (not the giant ship because that's retarded) and a comment about how most of the UNSC is rebuilding instead of fighting which is why only a small group are there. No need to go anymore in depth because who gives a fuck.

Modern medicine. Stupid people had a habit of dying pre-1930's medical practices.

All of the concept stuff in Reach makes me wish for a Halo game like ARMA, that plays exactly like Halo except you can throw up thumbs up and peace signs so you can take cool war time pictures.

I'm a level 2 genius though?

I don't just want to play Operation Trebuchet or whatever, because that's just ARMA with a Halo re-skin where you're fighting more human enemies. Bungie made the enemies in Halo fun to fight because they so diverse, every one of them has a job to do, and I'd love to see how that would work on large scale combat.

The squads all fall apart as soon as the Elite or Brute dies anyway.

Not if there were humans in it.

Context?

What happened to all the Brutes after H3? Besides the special snowflake ones in the gigachad Brute army from HW2, that is.

It's not, it doesn't match the dialog and cutscenes in the game, Normal does and is the default.

Which dialogues and cutscenes explicitly reference normal as the canon difficulty?

Halo 2's Ultra Elite first appearing in the Scarab, ODST drop on Delta Halo (pay attention to the Shade Turrets).

Halo CE opening you see both crewmen on Normal but only one on Heroic.

Halo 3's opening

Harvest was discovered when a jackal pirate vessel strayed out of it's permitted reaving territory because its' captain wanted some quick extra cash since she had a bf and really wanted to have kids with him but needed money to support them.

I love bar scenes, and with elites/jackals this'll be perfect. Excellent taste my dude.

Stupid question but doesn't all of this get thrown out the window since it's 500 years in the future? Perhaps armor piercing high explosive really is armor piercing high explosive that far ahead.

thanks man

Halo 4 and on have absolutely no business being on this list. That isn't just me being a hater, the armor designs were sometimes borderline anime retarded in functionality. All the other games, especially Reach (love it or hate it), had a practicality behind it. It looked like you might actually see something like that on a futuristic battlefield, or it was at least believable. Halo 4's doesn't look horrible, just lacking of any soul. It just looks like generic space marine man.

Further reaching doesn't make you better, it makes more of an expansionist. The UNSC did NOT have its further reaching territories locked down at all.

Don't worry it's some autistic guy, he will also say normal is the canon because in the book chief finds a shotgun on 343 guilty spark and you only find that shotgun on like normal. Not like the guy was writing the book about the game or anything lol.

Why do the ODSTs look so good?
Is it something about their design that just luckily happens to click with what human men find powerful or something?

You only find the shotgun on Easy and who uses the shitty books for canon. You're a retard if you do that, Normal is default, therefore, it's canon.

based dumbass

Well I mean realistically there shouldn't have been many refugees on reach since it was a giant military planet. Other planets they just recruited survivors, and most planets didn't have many survivors. It was rare for them to rescue any amount of people.

You clearly never played the difficulty, if the mode skips dialogue, drops high ranks all over the place, can't eve match the cutscenes then sorry but your Heroic difficulty isn't canon.

Good thing I don't think it is.

Master chief flipped a warthog in the books as well as one of the newer books confirming that Spartans can flip warthogs. Mjolnir armor is very very strong as well as s2s being incredibly strong. A warthog is 3 metric tons so they are able to flip around 6600lbs. Tanks and elephants are gameplay for sure.

But nothing actually looks like it's from 500 years in the future. Every bit of science fiction is a product of its time, obviously. So it's always just men from the 20th/21st century thrown into the future. Why do they still drive around in vehicles with combustion engines? Why do they still use bullets and gun turrets like it's 1942? But that guy is right. For a tank it's a design that could never actually work. What purpose does having four treads serve? Why is the gun barrel so small? If it's a light tank then why is it 66 tonnes? Why does it still use the armour plating of today?

All that matters is that they look cool. Aesthetics-wise it looks good, it feels bulky and powerful and it looks like its namesake; a scorpion. I think in the future tanks will simply be obsolete and it will be replaced by other kinds of more effective weaponry.

"In 300 years, weapons are going to be so advanced that they're not fun anymore. It'll be like, a glass of water. You drink it, and all of your enemies die. That's boring. So in 500 years we'll be back to guns and bullets again, because those are totally fun to kill things with."

I'm not sure weapon development comes out of how fun something is to use, maybe that comes after. Arms races are always about who has the best and most effective weapons. So if everyone's trying to 1-up the other then they'll just be pushing each other into more efficient and more boring methods of wiping each other out. No one will sit there and say "I like our old toys, they're more fun" because they will lose the arms race.

Other more domestic things like cars could be seen in that way though. People enjoy their manual petrol cars and they're fun to drive. But then again convenience usually comes first in life. Maybe people in the future won't care for the cars of today. It's hard to tell until it happens.

That's because that's the Halo 5 version of Carter's armor. Gears is just getting Kat and Emile based off how they looked in Reach. I think they even got the original VAs too.

Re-read it, he's saying future weapons would be LIKE drinking a glass of water. Boring, simple.

Everyone’s armor in Halo 1 actually looked metallic but every single game afterward looked plastic. Why is this?

Oh yeah, metaphors. I'm a bit buzzed and I missed that

Still, a far-future stealth game would be real cool

Hybrid plates rather than just metal alone.

>Two Betrayals

I like it but the beginning is total bullshit. Almost Gravemind tier. Not the part with the sentinels but the two shootouts after that.

kill yourself faggot

If you go all the way up the tower in front of the big ass door u exit from you can find a sniper n rocket n shiet. makes the start much easier

No I mean the hallway and the part right outside the gate before that. Each section has 3-4 elites some jackals and pretty much no cover on legendary.

oh that part yeah that parts a bitch. I think the best strat is to plasma charge a couple sentinels down while charging towards the elite and killing him with the shotty. grunts should start running and at that point u should be close enough to easily kill the elite and 1-2 jackals when they spawn at the entrance of the second door

HALO CE was the best of the bunch, they nailed it all in that one. Then they tried to get all fancy and turned up gay.

Actually Bungie retconned elites first being encountered on Reach because it cut them out of any expanded universe material set before reach

>why do they drive around in vehicles with combustion engines?
Warthogs run on water, I dunno what else does.

CE marines used metal plates
2,3, used cloth and synthetic carbon fiber?
Reach used less metal?

What protects best from a plasma shot?

No, he's saying future weapons will get so advanced, one example would be a glass of water that you drink and it somehow kills all your enemies. Not poison, not LIKE drinking water, literally a weapon that is a glass of water that kills your enemies when you drink it.

And that would be boring, so we'd go back to shooting each-other.

Halo5 looks practical as fug, bullets needles and plasma protection

Scanners you mean?

why are their weapons so small

Probably a placeholder before Reach's AR was finished

Aren't those rifles suppose to be bigger?
I mean, if a spartan would carry one of these in this size as shown it would be tiny?

Halo 3, her breast are shaped perfectly and her face looks the best. Halo 4 was too submissive for my taste

Armor was also designed in Halo to protect the marine from physical hazards such as rocks, debris, wind pressure, and flying shrapnel.

Too much anti-plasma actually hurts the effectiveness

I 100% agree with this list

two betrayals is kino though for the sheer amount of gold elites it throws at you, and those are the most fun enemy type to fight in the campaign hands down

You don't think that in 500 years they'd find another way of getting their vehicles to move? Will they always use combustion engines? Right now electric cars are a thing and here in the UK they want to ban petrol and diesel fuelled cars and make every car on the road electric by 2040. Not saying I agree with that, but if that's already happening now then something different in 500 years time isn't too much of a stretch of the imagination is it?

I always thought it was stupid to have a reflective visor. Does look good though.

Oh my god why did everything in Reach look SO FUCKING BAD

I know people like to criticize 343 for Halo 4's generic CoD aesthetic. But every bad decision that went into Halo 4 was simply an extension of Reach, from the cancerous armor ability loadouts, to the DEEP AND EMOTIONAL campaign story, to the dreary grey-brown military shooter aesthetic. So many things from Reach were a fucking mistake, yet people here will defend it because it was their first Halo game.

Attached: 1565020968261.png (270x360, 66K)

Bungie stopped caring after Halo 3 and just made their last two shitty Halo games after Halo 3 as a Destiny testbed.

He's not being sarcastic, most UNSC vehicles, including the warthog, are hydrogen-powered. They can convert water into fuel on the fly, and are even able to automatically filter seawater. As far as I'm aware no vehicle in Halo uses a combustion engine.

something about them looking that good and being seriously hardcore normal people makes them so cool.

Why are spartan 4's so lame?

og 2, ODST and nonspartan Reach.

Because they're the successor of the lame ass Spartan IIIs. Master Chief should have really been the last Spartan, the problems started with Reach.

Because they're dudebros. The kind of dude bro you know is just an asshole and not a cool guy. You probably know the exact image in your head I'm talking about.

S2's and 3's were serious people, soldiers, warriors, who were smart and deadly, etc. 4's are "BROOO I FUCKING SHOT THIS GRUNT IN THE FACE DUDE" *they high five each other* "LMAO DUDE I FUCKING PISSED ON THE CORPSE OF ONE BROOOOO"; they're cunts

It'd probably play a lot like ODST firefight, but on a team of 8-10 instead of 4. And maybe some L4D-style features like helping downed allies, healing them with biofoam, etc. A focus on camaraderie, maybe critically wounded players can still be picked up and carried if they're unable to walk themselves.

As for the gunplay, it'd be less mobile than Halo, probably more of a tactical shooter since Marines have less health and tend not to move around a lot while fighting. Probably a middle-click call-out system like Apex Legends, so players can quickly "ping" voice lines to each other.

The missions are like Destiny raids but more sandbox-style, where you and your team have a lot of freedom in how to approach objectives, but going off alone probably means you're fucked. The squad leader has a radio that can let him call in reinforcements (respawns), supply drops, and evac, but only at suitable landing zones. Enemies are AI-controlled, and large disturbances will attract patrols, set off alarms, etc. Stealth is an option, but a skirmish or two isn't going to blow the team's cover.

Difficulty-wise, a squad of grunts and jackals is a moderate challenge. Grunts are pretty easy to hose down, but Jackals are practically impossible to take head-on without taking damage in return. Elites are like minibosses. Sword Elites, Gold Elites, and Hunters are a fucking nightmare. Much of the combat against these tougher enemies is about working together to outsmart them.

New missions come out every so often. The easiest ones are fun romps across UNSC battlefields, and the most difficult ones are blisteringly hard and require autistic levels of planning and preparation to beat. Whenever a new super-hard mission is released, the first group to beat it wins something crazy, like a Sergeant Johnson costume or something.

It's okay when ODSTs do it

>not wanting to be the top

So how do they eat?

Buck's armour is one of the only good things in 5 but 3/ODST.

They've got a inner mouth like the aliens from the Alien franchise, the feeler things are to hold food still whilst snacking.

They just announced a bunch of casting decisions though like a few weeks ago dude. They at least got an actor for Chief who is pretty good and is about as close to his height as they could find.

I understand you probably have the attention span of the average chipmunk, but come on.

>one ship
literally in the opening cutscene cortana says their are multiple cruisers after them.

And where were they afterward?

1

>then getting your shit pushed in by your warrior caste after you botch up disposing of them

in orbit probably. the truth and reconciliation was only there because it was damaged.
i do find it a bit weird that the fact there is a covenant fleet hanging around was never mentioned again, not including book lore.

>covenant fleet hanging around was never mentioned again, not including book lore.
chief and his pelican of friends that survived hijacked the flagship of the fleet

I forgot where I read it but Arby was apparently deadlocked in a struggle for control of Covenant forces against a prophet attached to their fleet. They were arguing over who had command since the Halo mission could be either a military operation or a religious one. They ended up spending so much time fighting each other that Chief blew up Halo right under their noses.

shit the Halo human colonies went out that far?
I thought that it was all in the Orion Arm

CE would look good in blur graphics but I like Halo 3 the most
Halo 4 you like it for the ass and tits but man her face looked busted

>Play as an elite
The key is to make the player strong enough to be able to slaughter a human easily, but weak enough that taking on a full squad alone is dangerous. Plus, since the covenant gets all the cool toys in Halo, you'd need an emphasis on leading grunts and jackals around so that you get to make use of those cool toys.

Maybe it'd have some sort of squad mechanic where you can give orders to your grunt and jackal followers, while managing their morale meter so they don't break and run. A big focus on real-time tactics, sending your grunts and jackals out as diversions so that you can rush in, take out a few marines, and get out before they focus fire on you.

Alternatively, just make it like a musou or diablo-style game where you lead shitloads of grunts and jackals against shitloads of marines, the catch being that marines are generally stronger than grunts and that your side loses the battle if you don't constantly move around the battlefield pushing the humans back.

Hey all
I'm going to try to run the polls for best looking X from each halo game a bit better next time, but I'm going to have to make better image references for my next attempt.
The game categories will be:
>Halo
>Halo 2
>Halo 2: A
>Halo 3/ODST
>Halo 4
>Halo 5
I'm coming halo 3 and odst because they are almost 1:1 in model design, and odst on it's own doesn't have some overall models to compare.
Models I'm going to compare will be
>Master Chief
>Marine
>ODST
>MA5B
>Worthog
>Pelican
>Cortana
>Elite
>Grunt
>Brute

Brutes and ODSTs weren't in the first game, but other than that, I feel like that's enough of a spread of the most popular elements from each game to compare.
If anyone has another model you want compared that's in most of the games I listed, give me a (You) and I'll see about grabbing pictures for it.
I don't want to do absolutely everything as I have almost 0 image editing experience to make the additional comparison images I need, but we'll see what happens. No time frame on all this happening, either.

Pretty sure it was like 1 line in a book and all it stated was that the viles of dust had escaped the galaxy not the flood itself, probably been forgotten about.

Anyone have this one in particular?
I actually dig the blockly look, but now they're going for nearly $50 online new, and I'm not sure it's worth it.
If not, any other good figures of the Mark V you all would recommend?

got a list of those mods?

Which Cortana fag?
I'm usually the one who posts asking which Cortana is people's favourite, but I was late this time.
You'll notice they used a much shittier image.

>Not having a qt Sangheli wife after the war to cuddle with and cook with and who could protect you at all costs
What do female Sangheli actually look like? The only one I know of from the games is Mahkee 'Chava but you never see her.

>Halo campaign where the difficulty is linked to who you play as
Easy/Normal is a Spartan
Heroic is an ODST
Legendary is a regular marine

Hope you like stick figures.

Not him, but just search Halo in the Xcom 2 Workshop. There's reach weapon mods, Pelican mod, hell, even a music mod to add the halo music.

Halo 1 was more of a environmental and world discovery. Halo 2 was a story of the Covenant, chief being a badass, and Arbiter's character struggle.

Halo 3 was kinda go here, kill that, stop that, and run from here. But really the campaign, minus Floodgate and Cortana, more than make up for the simplistic story. But I did like that underlying buddy cop story going on with Arby and Chief.

What about Halo 4?

I meant out of armour jackass.

Holy shit, definitive proof that women ruin everything.

Fuck the playtesters. Hunters are the most fun enemies to fight.

Halo 4 is about shit and how it stinks.

>I thought you'd be taller
>I don't know who you are but I appreciate the friendly banter between two soldiers, I take no offence at your remark
The only people who dislike that line are the ones who cried after getting beaten in a slayer game

This. The only things actually annoying about Sarah is her hateboner for Halsey and of course
>Eggheads

I'd prefer if anything not related to the war or current figt stays out of the games.
No convoluted whys and hows of little details that don't matter gameplaywise.

I dislike the line because she just vanishes for the rest of the game. Even in the cutscene where she disobeys Del Rio's orders, Lasky is the one who vocally protests, she doesn't really get any lines that aren't about mission objectives over the radio.
It's like her entire purpose in the game is to say this one awkward quip to Chief, it is the single thing anyone remembers her for.

You know in ME3 when Vega shows up and his first scene is being this annoying cunt who acts like the player should know who he is? Palmer is that, but we never got any further development with her.

that’s a fucking cool image

The problem is, the soldiers in Reach aren't marines, they're part of the UNSC Army.
343 fucked up by putting Army soldiers in Halo 1, which was the Navy only.

I have that one, he's neat but his articulation is pretty crap. Can't get even a 90 degree bend at the elbows or knees so weapon posing is limited and you sure as shit aren't getting him to crouch. Otherwise a neat little desk piece though.

>Casting Chief

WHY? The best thing they could do is have chief involved as little as possible in the show and focuse on other aspects Chief is anti social and would be hard to make him the center of the show especially since he wears a helmet all the time which will make tv watcher not care for him or boring it makes sense in the game since players control chief and follow though the story that way

Damn. That doesn't sound like it's worth $45 eBay prices, but I don't see any alternatives if I want a lil' halo 1 era Master Chief with my things.

why do they always go for the overdesign shit in the end?

Yeah I got mine in a cheap bundle like a decade ago, definitely wouldn't pay that high a markup. However I also have this little guy, and while he's technically based on the remake I think, you can barely tell due to the size and he's actually way more articulated than the bigger one.

You know, if the pauldrons on that one were scaled down ever so slightly, it'd be perfect.

Almost all dead or fighting each other in their home world like the old warlords days.

He's pretty neat for a chibi-esque figure and there aren't many better options.

Top 10 halo cutscene

What ever happened to the other survivor of Installation 04, Dustin Echoes?

I'm not saying I didn't want to hear it you spastic. Everyone had already seen that picture. I specifically asked the question on a picture of a dressed-down Sangheli because I wanted to know what a female one looked like in that context.
I said "female Sangheli" not "female elite" anyway. If I cared about their armour I would have said Elite.
You're a fucking imbecile.

>>Not having a qt Sangheli husband after the war to cuddle with and cook with and who could protect you at all cost
Fixed

Sangheli don't into degeneracy

>millions of lonely male soldiers, periodically seeing each other naked with only the lucky ones getting back to home to breed
>heavy emphasis on warrior friendship
Bangheili are homo as all hell and I love it.

*Sangheli are homo as all hell in my headcanon and I love it.

I'll get a 343 employee if it will make the truth easier to swallow straightfriend.

The fact that you think they're homo just because any of that happens means you don't even deserve a Sangheli spouse.

I'm just reminding you not to confuse homosex headcanon with real canon.

And the real canon is that human men are marrying sangheili females in droves?

No.

No but it does happen. Men with tall women fetishes that can't be fulfilled by civvies or Spartans.

>It does happen
Source?

>No
>but it does happen
Nice headcanon.

Everyone loved Halo 3’s campaign it was a return to the simple storytelling of CE. Only loretards bitch about and no one listen to those retards.

This is how the halo thread ends.
With gay elite shitflinging

Because Bungie are hacks that made Halo good by accident.

That, Microsoft Game Studios, time constraints, and hardware limitations.

It started with a gay elite post. What did you expect to happen?

*Furries making threads bad again.

They’re the Zero Suit posters of Halo, they either never played the games or started with Halo 2.

Nah.
Sangheili males wanting to marry human females are a thing.
