Of course my dumb ass posts that before watching the whole thing... damn it lol
And yeah, can't blame them. I thought 343 was going to announce hcs future plans before atlanta, has that changed?
Why do i see halo pros sprinting away, no shields, in a desperate attempt to get to cover, looking down at the ground? I've seen this quite a bit in halo 5...
Makes it harder to finish a kill as the head is looking down. Gives them a bit more time to get to cover, at least that is the thought process I'm sure.
Are you spitting them out? Kinda looks like you're spitting them out.
Also, nice job!
They are "Strongsiding", which makes the head a harder target. It's been a thing in Halo for a long time.
That's awesome man. Reminds me of the "insta-sploding" technique Walshy used to use with plasma grenades.
Yeah, right now they are just part of my gun script so they are being spawned from the center of the cam, I'm going to put it in its own class with a new spawn method once I get animations in
aPG wasn't able to play, Frosty joined a Black Ops team, and there was a lot of talk in Snipedown's chat that some of the Splyce boys are jumping to Call of Duty, too.
Competitive Halo is not in a great place.
If the money was better... if the support and maps were better...
*insert Kermit Tea meme*
This is definitely something I'm interested in and also care about. Truly.
Eh, whatever. It was boring seeing tox and splyce win everything anyway and splyce has the personality of a rock. Let's get some up and comers and fresh faces in.

... silly cat.
wow.
People today really don't value the legacy of Halo. SAD!
I am having a mini nerd freakout because I turned on the radio and heard a majestic voice utter, "and this is Steve Downes."
Turns out, Mr. Downes is the host of a radio show around me.
I guess I am exclusively listening to classic rock every morning and Sunday night from now on.

Big yikes on that cover imo. Also yeah what..is that?when the F was this announced
and what the F is that
Messy looks, weird placements (why is the author's name to the side?), two characters with weapons is a bit boring.
I see nothing wrong with the cover, beyond the odd choice to justify the author name right instead of centering it along the bottom.
Can't get my "latest save data" for MCC apparently and my only options are offline or try again. Cool.
is there really a Spade on the spacehip in the sky?? like, they made a huge playing card ....
its a bit much for me also tbh, that stuck out as jumping the shark.
doesn't seem Halo to me at all
whoever approved that art needs a write up lol
edit -- wait, that isnt a moon in the background ...
"Find. Claim. Profit. In a post-Covenant War galaxy littered with scrap, it's the salvager's motto—and Rion Forge certainly made her mark on the trade. All she wanted was to grow her business and continue the search for her long-lost father, but her recent discovery of a Forerunner debris field at the edge of human-occupied space has now put her squarely in the crosshairs of the Office of Naval Intelligence and the violent remains of the Covenant. Each faction has a desire to lay claim to the spoils of ancient technology, whatever the cost, sending Rion and the crew of the Ace of Spades on a perilous venture—one that unexpectedly leads them straight into danger far greater than anything they've ever encountered…"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yeah, I liked the previous work about Rion, but atleast visually this seems forced. But then again, its a book cover and needs mass market appeal for random book store occupants.
But, comparatively speaking to past covers... yeah this is below par.
.. far below imo
Female lead, lost parents, tech scavenger, robot sidekick, factions bearing down on her...whatever could you mean with that Star Wars comparison...

OP
Y'all reading a lot into cover art. I've read plenty of great books with trashy covers, and nope'd out of a lot of terrible books with really great art on 'em. This isn't even so bad, though the robot is... weird.
Oh I actually don't judge a book by it's cover, this one just looks odd to me is all
I mean I appreciate what they were going for, but that cover is really bad, lolwhen the F was this announced
and what the F is that
far too cut + paste with some of the character assets
But friendly Prometheans could be a fun story concept for sure.
Is "her long-lost father" maybe Sergeant John Forge? Was this already known?
Also...
Really looks like they mounted a giant Spade playing card onto the ship. Something that could have easily been painted on the actual ship. Such a weird design. lol
Yeah her dad is John Forge.
When past Halo covers are just reused Sparth art or don't even bother to detail people's faces, I can't agree.
are they churning out more books than before? seems like they are filling the universe with a lot of stories to make it alive?
Interesting. 343i still connecting the dots everywhere.
I haven't followed the Expanded Universe for a long time now, but it doesn't seem like the frequency has increased. Still a lot to take in, either way.
I'd say it's noticeably faster, although the comparison is a little iffy just because in Bungie's days there was literally just one author working on books at a time. From 2001–2007 we got five books, from 2008–2014 we got eight, thus far from 2015 on we've gotten 13 (with the caveat that four of those were novellas or otherwise shorter than full novel length.) Assuming nothing else gets announced in 2019–2020 we'd still have eight more novels out in the same comparative time period.
