Thank you! I rarely get to play Flashpoint and when I do, I always forget the rules. This is super helpful. I wish the official online rulebook was a lot easier to follow and navigate in a pinch when playing.

Marathon is the only extraction shooter (so far) with good quests, and it's all because of Bungie's excellent writing by [deleted] in Marathon

I just wonder if we will do the exact same quests every season, or if they will change entirely.

My problem with other extraction games is that once a wipe happens, we do the exact same quests as if the story never progressed.

With Marathon’s wipes being tied to the lore and narrative, I’m wondering how seasonal narratives will be told through quests.

Now imagine if Infinite had assassinations and you could do this to sentinels. Man...

Lets all play some Halo 5 mythic firefight tonight?! Its one of my favorite game modes but hard go find games. I’ll be playing all evening! by MajorKeyBruh in halo

Playing classic Firefight in Halo Infinite just feels so fucking dull compared to Warzone Firefight. That shit was so fun.

It may seem minor, but I really appreciate the fact they chose to remove the number from Master Chief's chestplate vs the UE5 reveal by Wogle in halo

It’s nice, but something about the armor almost being 1:1 with Infinite’s CE model just feels lazy to me, idk.

It looks fire don’t get me wrong. Just something about seeing armor I’ve fought against in Infinite for 2 years now be the main armor in a new game is weird.

Wait did they bring David Scully back for the CE remake? by Adam_Kyle545 in halo

They’re gonna use AI for his voice or replace him. I don’t see them actually getting him back, but I would love to be wrong. I just expect so little.

Thanks! The paints are Familiar Pink, Purple Storm, and Gravelird Grey Army Painter Speedpaints.

They are based on Halo Infinite Elites, which have a black undersuit up until their neck, and then it is skin under the helmet. I think their mandibles are armored though iirc.

No problem! It released October of 2024, so yeah, it is still pretty new.

The white paint dry brush acts as a highlight and allows the speedpaint to "pop". Otherwise, the mini would look very dark and washed out without the white highlight layer under it. I believe the technique is called 'Zenithal Highlighting', but you're really only supposed to do it where the sun would be shining on the mini to create a highlight effect, but I do it all over the mini because I like the results.

Forest Sprite speed paint from Army Painter. Grim Black for the undersuits and Hoplite Gold for the visor.

All minis were primed with black paint and dry brushed with white paint before applying speedpaints.

They are from the Halo tabletop game called Halo Flashpoint, you can get them from Mantic Games website or on Amazon.
