I still say a mix of Halo and Rainbow Six could go a long way for an ODST spinoff game. But they seem to staunchly want to leave all the human warfare to the side material and only occasionally even make note of them in the games. I get that in the normal Halo gameplay, hitscan weapons would be a pain to fight against on campaign rules and it'd be less.. varied compared to the Prometheans and Covenant, but I still think there's a lot of potential there. 343 just wants us to kill a metric fuckton of aliens for increasingly arbitrary reasons at times instead.
They already have basic squad commands thanks to Halo 5.
If they expanded on that a bit more I think they could make a pretty decent ODST squad based shooter.

That's been my biggest complaint about Halo 5. Primarily because the Guardians are just a half-assed plot device that have no place in the lore, but also because this attempt at raising the stakes in each game is the fast track to jumping the shark. I don't think we'll be straying away from this trend any time soon. 343 has done way too much hinting at the return of the Forerunners, so any chance of the human civil war or the Covenant remnants becoming the focus is minimal at best now.
I've said it many times here, but i'm waiting for a First Contact game with Sergeant Johnson. Give the Spartan One's some love.
Here's a vid of the skybox with some assembly stuff tweaked.
For some reason the video is darker than it actually is. I think it's something that vegas does when rendering.

the progression of ODSTs into easily manufactured spartans makes a lot of sense
but it's still a shame because ODSTs are the best characters in the halo universe and turning them into "HOOAH SPARTAN" douchebags makes them lose most of their character/badass quality

The whole series of events reeks of "let's have fan-favorite Buck return as a playable character in Halo 5", despite the fact that he just functions as the Fireteam Osiris' resident snarker and little else.
God imagine if Fireteam Osiris was the squad from ODST that upgraded to Spartans instead of their Original Spartan Donut Steele
[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;50418413]Original Spartan Donut Steele[/QUOTE]
Im not sure what you're trying to say here. Locke and team Osiris was def better then the fire teams from Halo 4
Man, the eldewrito mod manager is such a life saver. Auto backups and mod priority really save a headache if you install something that's incompatible and you weren't sure what.

Fire Tea Osiris wasn't bad. It even features the best and handsomest of Alpha-Nine. I'd prefer another standalone title with A9.
Wow, some piece of shit survivor ground pounded me off the map in infection right when we started.

Curious, which iteration of Halo is that? Online?
[editline]2nd June 2016[/editline]
Just noticed, Online.
Did an update come out with the [del]best[/del] Reach guns?

I recently got back into Halo online, and I'm a bit confused. What's going on with Anvil again? I thought eldewrito was K/O, but it's still being updated. Mang, bro
I think they are having one last large update to polish ED overall and add some missing features like dual wielding, then they are gonna put it on the side and focus on working on Anvil Online

So some Halo Wars 2 art has surfaced (most likely for e3). Looks like part or all of the game may take place on an Ark like Installation. Couldn't be the Greater Ark as that was destroyed.
I see what look like Brute Scarabs (or maybe the Forerunner ancestor of those machines), Locusts, some kind of missile-launching thing I mistook for a flower-like Flood organism, and a gorilla army. I'm interested in seeing potential Brutified variants of stuff like the Scarabs.
As for the Ark, it seems like an odd place for them to be considering it's so far outside the Milky Way, but whatever. We'll see if the explanation is good or not.
It could maybe be set during Halo 3? That'd be kickin' rad.
I dunno, wouldn't the survivors have been noticed while on the Ark? Finding the crew of a lost UNSC vessel and three Spartans to boot on an ancient alien megastructure in the middle of nowhere is not unworthy of note, so you'd think something would have been said at the time.

Who says it's actually about the Spirit of Fire again? Maybe it's just like Spartan Ops where you play certain scenes from the Halo universe in RTS. Aside from that, 343 has shown that they don't mind retcons at all so it could go anywhere really.

...Wasn't there a whole teaser trailer featuring the Spartans from the Spirit of Fire? I don't see why they would use characters from the first game to promote a second game that's entirely unrelated to them.
Maybe this is how the Flood got onto the Spirit of Fire in the first place, it had somehow managed to arrive at the Ark and some infection forms got on it. And honestly the main Bungie games at best acknowledged the books to a minor degree and not much else besides Red vs. Blue, plus Halo Wars was made after Halo 3, so the whole plot concept of Spirit of Fire wasn't really a thing to have characters freak out about.
For anyone who hasn't seen it and doesn't care about spoilers to Escalation, here's a link to the comic book scene with the Spirit of Fire: [URL="http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/h1skkkqhlcaf0dqjyhly.png"]Page 1[/URL], [URL="http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/j3cq0odybhiw0szpag5v.jpg"]Page 2[/URL]
Here's the trailer:

A Mega Bloks set was recently revealed containing a new vehicle that might appear in Halo Wars 2.
[IMG]http://www.halotoynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Halo-Wars-2-Mega-Bloks-UNSC-Jackrabbit-Blitz-Set.jpg[/IMG]
IIRC that's all the concrete stuff we have on Halo Wars 2.
Think that vehicle "the jackrabbit" is confirmed

Single person grenade launcher Warthog?
