[QUOTE=mr purple hippo;36717122]Hasn't Delta put together some Custom Game nights before?[/QUOTE] A few over the past couple years, but recently just a few FPers and friends hanging out on Matchmaking.
Watch. I'm gonna fucking get us together one day.
All this talk of Facepunch Customs made me remember im still an Administrator of our Steam group that I forgot about. [QUOTE=mr purple hippo;36716754]I've had a pending friend request with FacepunchReach for like 6 months now[/QUOTE] Facepunch Reach is dead, it was made by a guy who doesn't come here anymore and never gave me the password. [editline]11th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=mr purple hippo;36717122]Hasn't Delta put together some Custom Game nights before?[/QUOTE] Before Halo Reach I used to host customs almost every weekend. Unless I wasn't here then someone else did them.

[QUOTE=supe7nova;36719831]Looks pretty good.[/QUOTE] Wow, looks awesome. They chose the right guy for chief as well, glad they didn't go for some sort of Mr Olympia.
I'm excited. [editline]11th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;36719893]Wglad they didn't go for some sort of Mr Olympia.[/QUOTE] Well the chief is a genetically engineered to be stronger, faster etc. and hes quite tall, but it is better that they chose an actual actor.
Looks pretty awesome. They're giving it the full treatment, the type that befits a Halo miniseries.
Im guessing the armour Chief is wearing is Mark IV, looks like the one seen in Halo Legends The Package but not as Mark VI looking. [QUOTE=Tuskin;36720416] Well the chief is a genetically engineered to be stronger, faster etc. and hes quite tall, but it is better that they chose an actual actor.[/QUOTE] Chief is strong but if you look at his shape, hes not one of those ridiculous looking body builders where it looks like the skin around their biceps is going to rip apart, hes incredibly muscular but he makes up for it in his towering height so he looks more in proportion.

[QUOTE=supe7nova;36719831] *Cool stuff* Looks pretty good.[/QUOTE] Wow, just wow. Glad they're actually doing something like this and finishing it. Although those Marine Cadets look waaaaay to skinny.

Why not use the ones from the revised book cover of Fall of Reach? It looks so much cooler.

I think he is a ODST, in training to be one. The Symbol on their armour makes me think of 'dropping down' And "Helljumper" is in the chant in the teaser trailer. Or I could be completely wrong.
Spartan-4s are apparently ODST volunteers which would explain it

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;36723361]Spartan-4s are apparently ODST volunteers which would explain it[/QUOTE] Hes not a Spartan 4 though he is just a soldier.
[thumb]http://www.halopedian.com/images/d/df/FUD-Poster.jpg[/thumb] Anyone else think the Marine armour looks silly? I hope thats some sort of training armour. Also Chiefs visor looks a little too small for my liking. [QUOTE=SpartanXC9;36722524]It looks really good but I really don't like how they're using the Halo: Legends suite for Master Chief.

I personally hate the Halo Wars Mark IV, the fake pecks are even more severe than the Mark VI.

[/QUOTE] I never liked any version of the MK IV due to it looking more advanced then the Mk V but at least it looked from different then both the Mark V and Mark VI and not like a really clunky version of the MK VI like the one in forward onto the dawn looks like. That poster looks a bit weird to me, I think it's because everything looks like plastic and because of Master Chief's visor.

I always imagined it would look more like V than VI because Jorges upgrade IV looks pretty much the same as V and so does the cover art on Cole Protocol.

Right now in the mini series it looks like a heavy version of the Mark VI which really doesn't makes that much sense.
If everyone gets together for customs I'd like to do some Stealth Mission: Reach testing.

Can we put together a list of people who can play on say, Saturday or Friday night(s)?
Good idea. Put me down, GT is my name. Oh and delta, if you guys start a game up tonight, ping me on steam, I'll play.
I'm calling it right now, the main character in forward onto the dawn is going to die in Halo 4 or 5 and it will be a complete b'awwww moment for Master Chief and he will vow revenge on who ever killed him or something.
Wait, how would chief even know this kid? He's been in the fridge for 5 years and fighting more or less constantly before that.
