Halo RPG

747 Burning Soul floated along carelessly as his reclaimers blew down more flood, he called some Sentinels, while not perfectly suited for such combat his reclaimers would need aid, their armor was only class two or three when it should have been twelve, and there weapons were so out of date, projectiles! They seemed to work as well, if not better, than the energy weapons of the other race or collective of races though, and their close range weapon certainly seemed to dispatch flood with relative ease. But even better than the plasma rifle , would they rather not have a more advanced energy weapon? A beam weapon like the soldiers used, much like a sentinels but much more powerful, they could just sweep it across the flood armies and kill them by the mass. Maybe these reclaimers wanted to get better at combat? He did not care. "I have called some sentinels to aide you in your plight." he floated down right in front of one of the reclaimers, "Your armor seems to be missing an attachment to shield your head reclaimer." It said.

[]Final there is no "command" we are stranded on this halo with no contact save for the characters and the odd human we find that is still alive.[]

Here is a image of the new CP nicknamed "watch tower"

(Actually there is a "command" there are more marines here than you realize.. If there wasn't any other marines then there is no room for me or anyone else who didn't come here with the original group.)

And "Command" as you need to know, is the unanimous vote of the most ranking survivors.. Two majors to be exact.. both trying to get everything under control, that is how earth and human militaries work.. without direction they are worthless.

[]This is NOT the original Halo, the only people that made it off the ship are people who managed to get into pellicans and Life Boats, this ship didnt crash land it blew up in space. []

I know it isn't the original halo..

[]Indeed, so finally someone who knows his ranks and titles,by the way Ten is a Major, says in his bio. Under a controlled situation there would be an intact command structure, but you have to realize out ship went up in flames and most did not get off, chances of having a ballanced chain of command are slim. This is not a contained normal combat situation, I doubt they could establish a good command when communication is also a problem. There would obviously be an officer of high rank alive, but chances of two Majors landing in the same area are slim, our ship was a small one and not chalk full of high ranking personelle[]

We have working pelicans, and working pelicans have shortwave and longrange radios.. Obviously I have in a sense stated they dont have everything under control as they are still trying to round up survivors..

"Edited above post"

hmm this debate will end up going on until we start hating eachother but o well, always up for a good fight. In the original Halo pellicans could not transmit across the entire ring, maybe an eight of the distance I dont know, rember in level 4 Keyes goes out of range. I can see us having a command, but it would take some time to coordinate their efforts, and this RPG has restared about 3 or 4 times. We just landed at max 4 or 5 hours ago on this ring.

And sadly, two majors is what originally got off on my pelican, that and a numbers of privates and I believe a sgt.. Yes indeed it was luck but they also were not "marine majors" they were "airforce majors" I know there isn't a difference especially in halo but the majors I landed with were the Hangar officers.. most of the hangar personell escaped the ships detonation since evac was so close.. alot of vehicles were also taken with them, however actual combat personell is a shortage because we mainly secured engineers and the standard security staff and anti-boarder marines of the various hangar areas.. hopefully that explains it a little better.

lol, we just go along with your command or people will start asking for a recap, but I dont fancy leaving the base we already have set up, and yours seems a lil to convenient.

(You also must remember, HALO is a ringworld where the FACE faces the inside, so distance for one is a little shorter from one side to another but the main fact of the matter is, there isn't much room across.. and what I mean by across is, the ring itself, not from one side to another but the actual WIDTH of the ring band itself, most of the lifepods had to have landed in one general area due to the fact that they all would launch in one direction, and since the only part of the ring facing the ship would be the part we landed on, it narrows it down alot.. sure there are alot of marines un accounted for.. and I do understand where you're coming from, so dont expect and argument from me, but its basic human instict to regroup and respond..we aren't lone predators.. we are pack hunters..

Mine is somewhat convienient because it is the overwatch area for a rather large flood containment complex but no one knows that yet.

OK were all good, ive forgoten most of my argument alredy, just so you know Nuron's bomb was powerful enough to have a destrictive radius of one half of a mile, so the covvies know excatly where we are. Most ppl dont knwo much about command structure, and I use my knowledge at certain angles to make the game fun for all. If we have a perfect stronghold there wont be much challenge, personally i like to write my way out of retadedly difficult situations...and thre wont be many flood attacking the stronhold seeing they just got released. Looks like this RPG is going to be longer than I thought.

I never enter an RP without my own little addition to the overall plot, there are two types of RPERS.. and that is the story tellers and the story enactors.. I'm not at all trying to control the rp because I hate people that do that, but this is an unhosted RP and if no one adds to it, it will die.

Well, that one guy said he jumped on my pelican.. so i'm not exactly sure what is going on, some people are like... in the library and that one cov said he needed a lift there.

I completely agree, and RP is literall and far from a damage counter video game, and because it is written It needs a story, or itwill die. If it is constant action it will die...I have been influsing this plot slightly, but like you I dont want to take control. I was planning a similar plot, but with the original base.

My original Character was an Elite war hero who, after learning alot, decided it was right and honor bound to help the humans for survival. "They have commited no atrocities against us." My second Character, my own version of Spartan known as Ten, had met Shxzalor before hence the message he gave to the other elite characters. "The true demons are the Parasite attacking you now, for that is why you are hearing this message" ....... "You will betray the Higher-Arcs, but you will not betray the Covenant. Out Oath tells us to gie our life to the coveant, not the Higher Arcs."

"I am a betrayer, but I am not a traitor."

The one elite Tekka is going to the Library to convince the other elite Plo to help the humans.

Ok.. that makes a tadbit more sense.. Well just keep in mind that the CP is just there for the commanders to keep control of the sitation, not for the RPERs to be based there... its technically just a safety for now..

Striker lowers his pelican and the other three lower as well.. ready to load up marines.

[]ha, most RP's her have less plot than Matrix 2 or 3, I want at least as much as Starship Troopers. An example is my Char, he breaks down in front of the others when he learn Nuron is a PsyCore. Because PsyCore killed most of his Spartans saying they were defective, when we get back to earth you will see some amazing things concering me Nuron and my last surving Spartans.[]

Ten heard static on his comm, he tappes his helmet, "Is someone trying to contact? Say again? Repeat your message."
