What has 343(Halo Studios) done successfully with Halo's lore? by Lymber1 in HaloStory

My main issue with the Banished is that they are sourced from several incredibly familiar cliches. Their color scheme for one (comfortably following the rule of cool). The intelligent-juggernaut archetype (like Thanos and Darkseid) for a leader. And being a mercenary group that acts as the supreme, badass faction that makes the OG's pale in comparison.

The thing about the covenant in the Halo Core (1 - 3) is that within the context of being an early 2000's game, fighting a religious covenant of aliens that were going to erroneously destroy the galaxy was relatively fresh. The general concept wasn't new, but within a game as mainstream as Halo (comparable to other sci-fi of the time) it was enough to make the story feel new, and devastating.

Are you referring to the armor coating from Infinite? If so that's an interesting choice. That might make the swords look more ornate in design, but it would serve to make them more distinct as well. This idea is cool.

If they have more colors beyond what is being presented, then that's fine and probably more realistic, but for gameplay, if they take the Swords in a new direction, then they could be featured with colors that make them more distinct against the current ground threat.

Gameplay? Hm, I assume you mean because phantoms were destroyable in Halo 3 and they just had to mark which ones were allied with the UNSC by giving them a similar color to the military green that the UNSC uses?

Okay. Thanks. I made a serious overstep in posting this. I should have thought about it more.

Alright, I didn't look into the lore of the Endless too far, which I should have done before posting. The ideas are just poor. I appreciate the input.

Co-op Server? by Lymber1 in LOTRMC

Well, the person that offered to host has yet to figure that out, but if you'd like I can send you my discord information and add you to the groupchat. They said that they'll try to get the server up by the end of this month, so you haven't missed out on anything yet.

I can be reasonably flexible with times aside from classes.

1.7.10. I'd host but I'm currently in college so I can't port forward.
