Anyone play Arma? The Halo mod really fantastic, and is well suited for RP.

yes, was in an ODST unit for a little while.
only bad thing is that any Starsim or Halo sim/rp communities on Arma are always plagued to the brim with furries and weirdos, or just super immature kids.\
most last only a month or so and then flop. hard.

i wouldn't mind running some OP TREBUCHET Dynamic Recon Ops tho with like a small group. that'd be fun.

edit: OP Trebuchet: First Contact is rly good too.
 
"We didn't have any Forerunner technology. We didn't have some grand destiny supposedly handed to us. We're just some apes from a backwater pebble in the void. We fought, we scraped, we invented, we discovered. We persevered. Against all odds, against our own self-destruction, we rose. We didn't find any lost artifacts, or reverse engineer some fantastical ancient technology. We did it ourselves. We reached for the stars, and touched them, all on our own. That's why you hate us so much, why you call us heathen blasphemers trying to walk in the footsteps of your divine ones. Because we did what you couldn't. We did it...like THEY did. "

When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy schmancy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon and we had to share the rock!

On one hand you just described TnB. On the other, I wouldn't mind doing some ODST drops or base defenses as Marines with anyone here.
 
in theory halo is going to have some of the same pitfalls as trp

something like halo rp DOES have massive narrative potential but only if you make it something beyond not-trp

say what you want about sinclair’s meme but that’s a valid fear that halo could be just like trp in all the wrong ways

Depends on how we do it. Are we going for The Fall of Reach as planned, where yes combat is heavy and deaths are high, or are we going more for a post war era, where it's the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios working together post war for things like, anti piracy, the return of the insurrection, and the rise of post covenant factions and cults where we have more breathing room and creative liberty?

That sounds like 343 territory and 343 lore. The same lore that seemingly divides the Halo community to this day. Not saying it isn't a good idea but anything post war has problems with people.

Only reason I'm suggesting post war of any kind is that, if they wanted to make this more of a server that sticks around, ala TRP, it would offer whatever prospective admin team a lot more creative liberty to make their own things. Either way we go at it I think it'll be slappin' though.

Edit: Doing events during the war though is also super fucking cool. Can even throw in our own battles and the likes given it's a 25 year long cluster fuck of squidheads pushing humanity's shit in.
 
This is how I've seen most "serious" halo rp servers handle it.

The general setting can be pre or post war, with server story following a particular ship full of planet hopping marines that do a variety of missions that has them fighting a variety of enemies.

Now, these enemies can be Covenant, Covenant remnants, insurgents, The Flood, homebrewed enemies, etc.

So as you can see, the main "hub" server is one that is on the ship. Here is where you're gonna get your passive roleplay, character drama behind closed doors, and many a penis joke in the locker room.

Most players will be grunts, aka Private John "I only log into this server when we aren't on the ship" Smith.

Then you got your Navy guys. Always thought this was kinda dumb since the crew never leave the ship and just passive all day sans if there is ever an event where there's a hostile boarding party coming in.

You got your ODSTS, basically the Delta of Halo. Expect these guys to want to have their own little objectives on the mission before the main force goes in. This can be accomplished through small side events that can effect the main conflict/mission at large.

Then if its post war you got your WORT WORT WORTs that tag along and be capable of soloing entire platoons because they're the voritigaunts of halo.

I wonder if TnB can mix it up a little, take the setting for a spin that no one can find anywhere else. Regardless, I look forward to see the efforts of whoever gets put on the admin team.

If anyone wants ideas on how to carry this server out, my dms are always open on the forum and on discord. Just pm me.

This is gonna be good, i can feel it in my bones.


P.S. please make spartans event characters only

Bruh I just wanna play a grunt.
 
Leave it the geniuses on the Halo Planning Board, ladies and gentlemen. ..
 
yeh it'd suck to have a populated server
