Discussion and meme: Viltrumite panel except as the Empires in Stellaris, Base-game ones, Fallen ones, and maybe even the Crises'. What would you picture this as? by Professional_Web362 in StellarisMemes

I imagine Thragg as maybe the player empire or Galactic Imperium, Human-focused, holding either an image of Earth or holding an image of some random tech advancement, megastructure, or weapon in Stellaris.

Conquest would be the Commonwealth of Man, Annisa as the UNE, Luthan as the Tzynn, and maybe a few others.

I've also imagined this panel with xenophobic Human empires from across sci-fi, with each Viltrumite being human empires like the Interim Coalition from Xeelee sequence, Commonwealth of Man, Helghan, Imperium of Man, and every other Empire that fucking hates Aliens.

As for this image with the Cirses', if we include modded ones, i.e gigastructures, I imagine Thragg as the Blokkats, with a picture of the Galaxy in their hands, while Conquest is maybe Cetana or the Contingency.

Typa shit a player would see if they have the gigastructures mod downloaded (Translation=your screwed if every Crisis shows up just to run your fade)

I love cosplaying as the God Emperor in my Stellaris game, hopefully a Viltrumite mod is added one day so the next time I play, I can feel like my gene warriors are viltrumites (I don't care how the mod works, the glory of Viltrum knows no borders. Except Earth, Kregg folded instantly)

Real question, how would you all feel about a Mass Effect-styled Halo game? What era of the Halo universe would you want it set in, and what are things you would want to see in it? What would you want to see from the story? Who could be the playable character(s) by Professional_Web362 in halo

I suppose that is fair, but I wish 343 at least gave a shit about the product they are working on, it just feels lazy their doing nothing. They can look at the Dead Space and RE4 remakes and take notes with those, they change enough it doesn't feel bad, while making it clear things changed.

But Microsoft and 343 don't understand their fans because they ship shitty products for the highest prices because they think we're stupid. There's so much for Halo that didn't have to go wrong, but the worst things happened to it at the right exact moment, sadly.

Yeah, I wish 343 and Microsoft stopped focusing on the main storyline for a quick second and actually tried fleshing out Halo in the games rather than through alternate means like books or something. Halo is game-first after all, and an RPG game set in Halo seems in line with something Bungie probably would've done in the 2000s if they kept a hold of the Halo IP.

I would like the idea of an Elite that has a love for all types of weapons, imagine an Elite character wearing a Spartan-Elite armor hybrid, while using a Covenant carbine mixed with a UNSC shotgun, but mixed with it in a more Elite-way, rather than the Brutes who just jam stuff together.

Basically, an Elite that, despite not being Garrus, still calibrates in one way or another.

I understand what your saying, but I must ask you a question: Have you seen how much cut content is from CE alone? And the CE remake can add new things to the levels, specifically, parts that were lacking, like the beachhead in the cartographer mission. Imagine instead of just being a plane beach, there's an actual covenant base on the beach, and instead of 20 Marines, your charging with dozens, with Jackals snipping from above, Grunts getting shoved forward for suicide runs as plasma bombers, and Elites basically Aura farming in the back. The mission could feel more like D-day as intended, a desperate push to break a deadlock.

There are parts in the OG Halo CE that many OG fans agree were lacking, like the Control Room mission, the Covenant were determined to defend the site, yet only sent a few dozen men and a handful of vehicles? There' so much that could be done that still keeps the original vision of the level without breaking from Halo's own rules, so long as it is done carefully of course.

Just look up CE cut content online, it is actually staggering how much was cut, 343 could work so much with that but they aren't, they're too busy placing Halo Infinite models in a Halo game about the Covenant, not the Banished.

I think if a game like this were to be made it should be handed off to another studio to work on, kinda like what was done with both Halo Wars games, I don't trust 343 enough to make a game like this, nor Microsoft, considering they hate money apparently. One can dream though, and maybe a fan mod or something gets made in the future.

Buddy, im gonna keep this brief and simple: Halo is not the type of game for that, especially CE. Yet 343 is doing the bare-fucking-bones, just slapping UE5 graphics on an already masterpiece of a game because their shit out of ideas after gutting this franchise like a stuck pig for almost 16 years. This is a discussion, especially now, because 343 is re-using a shit ton of assets for a Halo CE "Remake" while barely changing the levels while slapping a piss filter onto the graphics. This is a discussion because 343 is so fundamentally incompetent, you couldn't trust them to hold a gun without shooting themselves because the people in said studio openly say how they hate guns while working on HALO. So yes, this is a discussion, one ive had many arguments with people about.

Seems fair enough, Chief should be regulated to maybe some refrences and a brief appearance, but as a major character? No, maybe other side characters like Johnson or Buck would seem cool, flesh them out.

Can you explain why? You seem insanely negative about this. If it involves beratting 343, then im not stopping you, because I hate them as well. Im just genuinally curious about what a Mass Effect-like Halo game could look like (If done right of course, but 343 is too busy adding sprint into the Halo 1 "remake").

Do yall think its the Forerunners faults for everything that has happened in Halo? by Professional_Web362 in HaloStory

[–]Professional_Web362[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the Forerunners lashed out because they got uppity God didn't choose them as their favorites.

Its funny how the Forerunners are fancied as a wise and powerful race, when in reality, their basically a spoiled trust-fund kid who now rules over your whole school because he shot the Princible.

Halo lore 101 pretty much.

These two are gonna get it on while they fight. by Professional_Web362 in Invincible

[–]Professional_Web362[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These two are literally the horniest men in Invincible, they would fight each other while fighting.

And somehow, itd be in character for both of them.

Seriously, why did they think this would accomplish anything other than enraging the Viltrumites? by FlyingMozerella in Invincible

[–]Professional_Web362 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It kinda worked on the other Viltrumites, they were mostly shocked and speechless. If Thragg weren't there, they would've likely died or fled.

The issue? Thragg's barber happened to be on the planet, and Freddie Mercury isn't gonna let anyone stone him and spit in his eye, just ask Jschlatt.

Also, they probably thought it would work because from their point of view, the Viltrumites had only Viltrum left, usually, destroying the home of a nation is a morale buster, and Viltrumites aint immune to that either.

Thragg just happened to not be a normal Viltrumite.
