Lore Thursday - Type Classifications

When analysing recovered Covenant equipment, ONI researchers assigned a Type-designation based on the year of recording. However, these entries rarely matched the Covenant's own internal classification schemes.

Alien technology catalogued by the United Nations Space Command and Office of Naval Intelligence is classified by type number. Type classifi

Basic combat mechanics

Kind of lost track of time today so a quick one explaining my basic combat ideas.

Hits will not be rolled for, but will come from a series of possible bonuses and penalties applied by both attackers and defenders, such as elevation, training, evasion if the defender is aware of the attacker, cover and other potential factors, potentially up to a cap, but maybe not. Each advantage (or defender’s disadvantage) will add a damage die to the roll, each disadvantage (or defender’s advantage) will subtract one. It is possible to not roll at all: ya didn’t hit.

Damage modifiers past this step will also exist but Idk enough of the specifics yet.

Weapons will have range falloff, losing damage dice at set intervals based off the weapon the further away the target of the attack is. Generally, UNSC weapons will have lower base damage, but be less susceptible to damage falloff, and Covenant weapons will have higher base damage but steeper damage fall off at a distance. UNSC will favor mid to long range combat, Covenant will usually have the advantage if the action gets too close. Exceptions obviously exist in Shotguns, Beam Rifles and the like.

Some weapons will have a unique rule ignoring conventional damage that will make them particularly threatening at any range, but more on that later.

Trivia Tuesday - Halo 5: Guardians Plasma Launcher

Did You Know the Plasma Launcher returned in Halo 5: Guardians? On March on Stormbreak, a coding oversight caused some Grunts to spawn with the weapon. When used by a player, the weapon lacked a HUD icon and a 1st person model, and its projectiles were unfinished.

50 Days of Halo Challenge- Day 27

October 14 - Favourite Covenant Weapon?

This little puppy:

The energy sword comes in a close second, but I love this gun because of the damage it can deal to those big, bad brutes! Or the hunters...! Or grunts because you're too lazy to take out your pistol and pick 'em off! (But... why would you have a pistol with a fuel rod gun?.... the fuel rod gun doesn't hold that much ammo...)
