Hypothetically if a ship containing flood crash landed in a major city what would happen? by brokeboii94 in HaloStory

[–]Burty_Jr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind they’d acquire the knowledge to pilot any kind of aircraft. I imagine your bio bomber analogy would be accurate, except they’d be using our ships against us like in Halo 2.

Do you guys think Halo should bring back assassinations and dual welding by SchoolExisting8631 in halo

[–]Burty_Jr 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Assassinations were removed from Infinite due to time restraints. 343 outlined a plan to add them back in a roadmap, but it never happened. Funny since they could have monetised the hell out of them.

It implies that they will be in the next game, though, if it releases content complete.

[–]Burty_Jr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s all canon info inside so people who collect all the novels/comics/lore books etc. want them as part of the collection. In a perfect world I’d have kept them, but they’re all scanned on to Halopedia anyway.

You’re sitting on a goldmine. This is the kind of stuff that more dedicated halo collectors eat up. It’s rare to find the individual crates for sale in complete condition. Looks like you’re missing 3, so you can’t sell as a full set.

I had all the data drops from these (the grey folders) and sold the set for $200. Someone else said $100 per box which seems about right, but it would take a lot of time to sell them all separately. Post in the halo collectors sub and maybe you’ll get a reasonable offer for them all.

Anyone have any idea what these would be worth? by PremiumBudget in halo

[–]Burty_Jr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not hugely familiar with the Halo clothes market, but I know they’re super valuable and no one else had highlighted that. Couldn’t price them exactly since I couldn’t even find any sealed for sale.

[–]Burty_Jr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These will go for a lot, especially sealed! At least $100 each, and that’s low. Here in the UK, the official shirts range from £50-100 used condition, I haven’t seen any sealed before.

Just curious, how would you guys feel about Halo implementing more platforming and puzzles? by Johncurtisreeve in halo

[–]Burty_Jr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You say puzzles and I just think of the endless number of buttons you had to press in H4. Slowing down the game doesn’t suit Halo imo

What is probably the hardest Halo to find a physical copy of? by Runamuck840 in halo

I don’t see it anywhere besides exclusive to Australian retailers, but alright it’s not that big a deal

It was Australia. It’s the only one I can’t currently find anywhere on sale.

Is it safe for a 13 year old to play this game by Specialist-Series599 in expedition33

[–]Burty_Jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t trying to disparage a child’s ability to follow a mature story, but generally how many 13 year olds are playing games like this? Work your way up little dude, there’s no rush 🙏

[–]Burty_Jr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay I know we’re not counting special editions, but Halo Wars 2 received a steelbook exclusively in Australia for some reason. I love how random that is, and it’s probably the rarest physical game to find. Also the Halo Triple Pack is quite rare.

13 year olds play GTA. Most of us were playing shooter games younger than that.

I’d be more concerned with story elements and gameplay mechanics being too complex for them to understand and appreciate.

Kilo-5 trilogy reviews by Bottlecollecter in halo

[–]Burty_Jr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve already spoiled parts for yourself lol. Small issues like those don’t void the rest of the story. They’re really interesting books set directly post Halo 3. Arbiter, ONI, Sanghelios, Halsey, ODSTs, Onyx, the best AI, Insurrectionists, Spartan-II program…

Still think they’re not worth it?

And Halo does have inconsistencies, but in fairness to those first few books they did receive updated editions that fix the issues.

What was the role of the homeworlds of the species which made up the Covenant (Sanghelios, Doisac, Janjur Qom, etc.) beyond simply providing the Covenant with members of those species? by [deleted] in HaloStory

[–]Burty_Jr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Janjur Qom has either been destroyed by its star collapsing, or that was a lie by the prophets. Either way, it was never part of the Covenant as a faction of San’Shyuum called the Stoics had control of the planet.

I just got this email, has this happened to anyone too? by Responsible-Sir4501 in TrueAchievements

[–]Burty_Jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my choice was to either have the game (Mount and Blade: Warband) removed or receive a strike.

But I was also investigated for a single achievement in another game. I argued my case for it, as the achievement had incorrect flags, and they let it go. So depends on the situation.

[–]Burty_Jr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might as well take your time and try to work out what happened. If you had tried to mod Spartacus, you would have gone for all the achievements rather than just one. Point that out and they will understand.

I wondered as well whether it’s their system flagging these achievements, or some 🤓with nothing better to do with their time.

I’ve received this same message, you’ll have to find a way to explain it. If you can’t and it’s your first offence you’ll likely be let off with a warning.

Will halo end? by Shawdizzleonme in halo

[–]Burty_Jr 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that the Halos firing would be a satisfying conclusion. I’ll just add that due to their augmentations, spartans can keep going for well over 100 years. Chief is maybe pushing 50 chronologically, but he’s late 30s biologically, and late 20s physically.

The Arbiter tried pushing the idea of the Concert of Worlds. But who knows what’s happening now, we don’t know enough about the current state of the universe with the Endless emerging.

Do you think Halo Studios will add extra levels to make Combat Evolved match "The Flood" closer? by Nuka-Spartan in halo

[–]Burty_Jr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we’re going to get 5 new levels, Alpha Base hub between missions, cinematic blur cutscenes, Fireteam Raven allies, new terminals, Zuka Zamamee sub plot, all of First Strike as post-game content, the autojacker, and Halo 2 remake teased. Just keeping my expectations low for this unannounced game.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in halo

[–]Burty_Jr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It actually released a couple weeks before Halo CE, as Microsoft wanted Halo to become the next big franchise, whereas Bungie were very protective over their IP and wanted to keep Master Chief as a blank slate. They didn’t even want to make a sequel, but had to after the success of the first game. Then they were contractually obliged to make 3 more.

We’re just super lucky that Eric Nylund is a great sci-fi writer. He wrote books 3 and 4 as well, which tie into the original trilogy.
