Halo Discussion
Hey, I have a decent number of friends and I often host unique custom matches. I have custom firefight modes too and I'm always down for some campaign co-ops. I only play on the weekends and holidays if you have any interest lmk. I'm not a huge chatter and I don't have a mic, but I usually get right to business.
If you are interested, feel free to post your gamertag and you'll likely receive a message from Metalfrog. I most likely will leave you alone until a weekend night then I might send you an invite. If you don't accept or tell me, you're not available then that will be it.

Good game. I don't have much to talk about it, but it's my favorite Halo game beside Halo 3. Currently wrapping up my Legendary run of the game (on The Package, but I'm taking a break from playinf)
What if it's like a rebel thing where all alien species allied with each other and did small raids and we have co-op with different races like brutes, elites, humans etc. Basically the Covenant but in a bigger scale
So, recently I got into Halo and began playing the games. Halo: CE was one of the first games I ever played, so I’ve been a fan for a while but not I haven’t been that big on it until now. Anyways, I just now finished Halo 3 a few minutes before writing this post, so I want to give my thoughts on Halo: CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3
(THERE WILL BE SPOILERS AHEAD)
Halo: Combat Evolved
Pillar of Autumn and Halo were a nostalgia trip. It’s these two levels specifically because I never got past them when I first played Halo CE. Out of the three games, Halo CE is the weakest to me. I did still enjoy it though, especially after 343 Guilty Spark (not The Library). The Flood can be pretty annoying at times, but it was still fun. Now, the ending for this game is one of the best out of the original three for me. The Maw was a good level, especially the finale. The final escape to get off Halo was epic, especially with Halo (the song) playing in the background of it. I did not expect Foehammer’s death, that was pretty sad. But overall, Halo: Combat Evolved was a solid game
Halo 2
I love how there’s more of a story in this game than in CE. The introduction of Arbiter was interesting, because helping out the Covenant was a change of pace. Then the sudden appearance of Gravemind as well. The battle on Earth was also good, and I’m totally not just saying that because of the Scorpion segment during Metropolis. As well as the tunnel segment (can’t remember if that was in Outskirts or Metropolis). The appearance of the Flood during The Oracle sure was a surprise, especially because I was expecting just to be fighting the Heretics. The finale levels were good, I only have an issue with the abrupt ending. Still a good game though
Halo 3
This game was amazing. It got better as it went on. Both halves of it feel different. We start out stopping a Covenant invasion on Earth to stopping the Prophets from activating Halo. Something that was satisfying to do was destroying Phantoms when you had a vehicle that could. Like the Hornet during that one segment in (I think) The Covenant. Most of the vehicle segments were good. Like the one where you used a Hornet against two Scarabs. The end of The Covenant was a surprise with the Flood helping us, and then promptly betraying us as Arbiter killed Truth. But the main reason why I like this game is the ending. The Halo CE-esque escape on the Warthog was awesome. Guilty Spark’s betrayal was unexpected, so was Johnson’s death. Overall, this game is my favorite of the trilogy
I’m soon to reach the 343 Industries games, which I’m not that excited for. The last mainline Bungie game I’m going to play is Halo 3: ODST (playing in the order that MCC had the campaigns in).
A few months ago, I did a post on how I would've written Halo 4's campaign, and because I can't wait to post my rewrite of Halo 5, I have to rewrite Spartan Ops, because the rewrite of Halo 5 follows the ending of Spartan ops. I initially wanted to do 2 seasons of SO, but the first one has a plot too similar to the story of Red vs. Blue, so that was scrapped. Anyway, this is my rewrite of Halo 4: Spartan Ops.
Episode 1
Master Chief and Alpha Nine (Buck's squad) go on a mission to kill an insurrectionist leader and his crew. Most of them are armed with Promethean Weaponry given to them by a Covenant remnant ruled by Brutes. Chief learns that the Brutes also get Railguns in exchange for the Promethean weapons. Chief and the ODSTs, despite their rivalry, kill the Brutes and the Insurrectionists but the Leader and his bodyguards acquired advanced suites of armor and Promethean Binary Rifles. After a long boss fight, The Rookie finally manages to kill the Leader. Buck and his men now respect the Chief after seeing him fight for them, and the Chief heads to the Infinity.
Episode 2
Chief has a new mission: Assist the Arbiter in taking back Sangheilios from Jul 'Mdama. The shield of Sangheilios is almost entirely blown up from previous conflicts. It leaves the planet vulnerable to an attack from the Covenant Separatists. Chief helps the Arbiter in destroying a new covenant vessel called Kraken. After destroying the Kraken's legs, Chief enters a forerunner facility where he fights Promethean forces and enters a forerunner armory.
Episode 3
Chief enters the Armory, grabs a few weapons and grenades, and proceeds. He returns to the surface only to find that a second Kraken has been deployed. Chief boards an enemy Banshee and flies through a canyon with a Banshee squadron escorting him. He then proceeds to kill the Kraken's escort: 2 Phantoms and 3 Banshee squadrons. After clearing the area, the Chief can either take out the Kraken's legs or board the Kraken, destroy the power core, and escape.
Episode 4
With the Krakens destroyed, The Arbiter and the Shadow of Intent proceed to bomb Jul's bases, While Chief goes to board Jul 'Mdama's Brigantine. On the way, He encounters Phantoms, Liches, and Banshees trying to prevent him from boarding the ship and buy their leader time. Chief kills them but the Brigantine's turrets destroy his Banshee it crashes on the ground. Jul 'Mdama escapes Sangheilios and his forces fall back.
Episode 5
Lasky contacts Chief, revealing that Jul 'Mdama is attacking the UNSC Infinity with all of his forces. Chief arrives on the Infinity and defends 2 hangars from Covenant boarding parties before assisting First Lieutenant Stacker in reactivating 4 M85 AA guns. He later assists Gypsy Company in escorting high-level assets to safety. The Spartans of Gypsy Company disrespect the Chief and praise the new generation of Spartans and their advanced technology until they all die in an explosion and Master Chief has to escort the assets himself. After doing so, Lasky tells Chief that Jul Kidnapped Dr. Halsey because she possessed the Janus key, which reveals every piece of forerunner technology in the galaxy. Chief takes a Banshee and follows the retreating covenant forces.
Episode 6
The Covenant Remnant reaches a forerunner world called Kamchatka where they can activate the Janus key and also access the planet's data network. Chief boards the Carrier only to find the 'Mdama and Halsey went to the planet's surface. Chief goes to the prison section of his ship and frees a Covenant Remnant leader called Sali 'Nyon and in exchange for the rescue, he helps Chief free other prisoners and sows chaos on the ship. Chief boards an enemy Lich and flies to Jul 'Mdama's location.
Episode 7
Meanwhile, Jul activates the Janus key. Halsey notices that there's a facility on the planet Meridian, where the forerunners used to revive completely dead Ancillas. Chief crashes his Lich on a Kraken, destroying it, but he escapes on time. He encounters dozens of Elites, Grunts, and Jackals protecting 'Mdama and eliminates them. He then activates a light bridge leading to 'Mdama's location. Chief discovers 'Mdama and his bodyguards and a boss battle begins. After a hard fight, Chief manages to kill 'Mdama and the guards but in his last moments, Jul throws a plasma grenade at the janus key, destroying it.
Halsey tells him that there's a place where he can perhaps revive Cortana. She reveals it's on the planet Meridian and it's heavily guarded. Chief replies that he can deal with it. Infinity contacts Master Chief, ordering him and Halsey to return to the ship. Chief disobeys the order and says that 'Mdama is dead and they can get Halsey back, but his real mission is just getting started.

It just seems like the kind of gritty, (more) realistic take that halo 3 odst started to have. just swap some textures and youve got the next halo game
