I was randomly bored and did some reasearch on WH40K and found that 1mm of Ceramite plating was roughly equal to 5mm of conventional hardened steel, so is there anything to say how much steel Titanium-A is worth? I know that UNSC material science is wildly above ours considering UNSC body armor can take crazy amounts of punishment but that's it.
I hate shaming other players for just trying to have fun, but I can't imagine dying 16 times for your ego and pride is very fun. Lower the damn difficulty, I know your ass queued into this match via quickplay just like me.
Maybe a level requirement (50+?) and/or having beaten a couple diff 8-9 missions successfully with 5 or less deaths?
We see SGT Forge do that in HALO Wars, beating the Arbiter at the time in CQC, and in H3 ODST Dutch shoulder checked a goddamn Brute Chieftain.
Is there any other examples of Marines/ODST's beating other Covenant species in H2H/CQC?
Anyways, hypothetically, say an above average (but not super crazy) ODST who's fresh out of ammo finds a Sanghelli Minor/Major, the area has just been EMP'd for one reason or another, so the Elite's shielding and armor is down, and he miraculously dropped any of his melee weapons. What are the ODST's chances of winning?
me personally I think any human aside from a Spartan should get immediately pasted by a Brute unless there's special circumstances, and against an Elite they should be outmatched and have a decent shot of winning
tl;dr im just primarily looking for examples of humans being Elites and Brutes in cqc since I don't know any other aside from halo wars and H3ODST
was under a short showing off the skins for the AR's in campaign evolved and firing them, just got the notification of that dude replying to me and the likes so nice to see not everyone just mindlessly hate for zero reason
I mean, seriously, HALO is literally a tale about how blind faith and religious fervor can lead to untold atrocities being committed against people for no reason whatsoever.
Another 1.5 trillion planets glassed for Sanghelios
AT - The rifle generally explains itself, oneshots any shock at closer ranges and can one tap anyone through helmet at any range, the collat even gives it decent crowd control, and Rook is already a great support class.
Flamer - If played right, basically unstoppablel, I've seen entire teams get wiped in a second by a smart flamer in elite slop, but unlike AT they have an actual weakness of limited fuel and short range, only bullshit thing about it is how dumb the hitbox is sometimes.
Storm Trooper - Mobile, good DPS at all ranges, definitely the most lukewarm shock but that leads to people underestimating a storm trooper and getting shredded at 100 studs away.
Bulwark - Basically just
-Bread shredder
-Final/Last Stand guy
Excels at those roles but struggles to find a good place in actual skirmishes due to his role.
Radio - No helmet, lesser firepower comparatively, and requires their team playing smart and around them to hit full potential.
Geist - Requires a far higher mastery than other kits to get to the same level of power, but still very good overall.
Trench - Generally just does anything another shock can do but far worse.
-Good DPS at all ranges is beat by Storm and AT, and Trench's DPS is generally inconsistent and requires them being close, and it's not very sustainable due to a slower reload than Storm, less strafing speed than Storm. Basically what I'm saying is just go play Storm if you want to actually be useful.
-Worse at ambushes than Geist and Flamer.
-No wallpen whatsoever, making positioning much more important than any other shock save geist and radio, also made far worse in final stand.
-Only extra survivability is unbreakable helmet which if shot by a Judgement or KS is still basically death since you're stunned for 3 seconds, since Intrapovaline makes your gun entirely useless. Throwing axes also get no upgrades so, like, why?
-Worse at support than Radio, Flamer, and AT.
+Still super fun though.
First idea
-Max already suggested in the G/D discord server that Storm could be able to talon-style hipfire with the MP18, so one or two lightweight lever action shotguns (Maybe 16 or 20 gauge?) that could do that could also be cool.
Second idea
-Lighterweight AT rifle, basically a middleground between the AT rifle and the Judgement, dunno how to balance it but it'd be neat.
Third idea
-BAR (with a bayonet obviously) for the Trench Trooper, that or a Mars Automatic Pistol (basically a deagle in WW1) + a greatsword
Been playing a lot of Total War: Warhammer 3 and I'm super excited for Total War: Warhammer 40k, pretty soon (around the time TW40K drops) would be a good time for really any collabs whether it was Fantasy, AOS, or 40K, I'd gobble up a Karl Franz deck.
