The ODST crossover, I mean. I’ve seen news posts about it here, but nothing posted after the ODST warbond dropped.
So, whatcha think about it?
M90A shotgun
I’ve played 95% of my free time during my elementary school years on Halo 2 with my cousin, and to me the M90A (known to me as “Scodinciocio” (don’t ask (actually yes ask that’s half my childhood))) is probably the most iconic item in the warbond.
… meh? I’ve played with it once before the game booted me out due to a network error (overloaded servers, probably), but I expected it to be the first non-slug 3-pen shotgun ever; alas, the AR is 3-pen despite my expectations while the M90A seems to be just a faster reloading 2-pen shotgun.
Having played Halo 3 multiplayer for an embarassing amount of time, I see the shotgun as a “get close to an overseer and FUCKING SEND THEM” kinda weapon, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
M45C ar
Too good.
Not according to HD2’s balance, mind you, but I recently had a Halothon with the aforementioned cousin - we played every Halo from CE to Reach on legendary diff within 2 days - and the AR (= the M45C) was the “ugh, this is what I respawn with? fine, I’ll manage” weapon, consistently through all the 5 games having it.
Surprisingly, it DOES work in Helldivers, at least to someone who’s played with the Eruptor for 80% of their playtime and who knows what they’re missing by not doing that.
The point is, this weapon is probably more effective in Helldivers 2 than in any good Halo game (= every Halo game released before Halo 4), which H3:ODST falls into. And I think it’s nice, about damn time.
M7S smg
I’ll use it because nostalgia, but… ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Amirite?
I mean, it *looks* cool, but… ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I’ll take the M45C instead, unless I care about having a nice looking gun in my hand because tbh this SMG looks so hot I feel like E̸̘̺͍̲͐͋̌͊͋̔́̍͗͛͗͒͗̋͝c̷̨̞̥͔̙͈̩̱͖̳͂͜g̸̡̢̛̯̟̜͔͍̔̃̒͒̾̇̓͛̄̌̅̀̈̚j̶̦̺̖̥̘̦͈̫̘̙̩͊̽͜H̶̡̡̡̨̛̲̰̟̖̉̀͑̐͒̈́̔̅̈́̈́͌̈̚͜/̵̡̗̖͓̭͈̤̹̖̻̫̿͋̀͊̾̊̓̊̕͜ͅL̶̢͙̠̼͉̰̩̤̥̹̭̺̖͖̯͊C̴̜̒̃͋̎͋ͅͅl̷̢̛̻̙̐̎̌̏̆͒̉͊̊̒͐͑͐͠͝ž̸̛̺͙͉̠̒͆̊̋̄͊̅̅̚͘͘͝ͅB̸̧̧̨̫͙̯͎̺̝̯̪̖̮̤͙̰͙̀̓͑̔͒͑̇́̈́͠/̶̵̳̞̬͍̝͔̹̯̣̣̞̫̥̹͙̬̮̖̘̞̙̜͉͆̄̽͐͛͒́̀͑͆̈̃̽͠/̸͍͈͔͓̤̰̣̟̥̩̑̑ͅ9̷̡̜͕͓̖̣͔͔̍̌͌̊́̿̀̊̊̋̎̇̏̚͝͝8̸̨̨̡̍̌̈ͅý̵̖̩̱͓͇̦̾̀̐̐̀͌́͐͘͘͝r̷̻̝̣̩̝͎͈̝̩̭̅̀̌̀̊͜k̸̡̢̢̛̮̣̭͈̳͇̦̳̀̒̄̆͜͜i̴̧̮͖̞͇͓͚̙̭͙͙̙̱̭̘͊͆̈̏̆͋̂͐̎̂͆̚͝h̸̨̛̰̦̪͚̱̱̳̺̫̪̺̣͉̤͚̒͋̀̍̒͛͋̀̾̌̑̾́̉̽͠z̵̞͓̬̥̑͋̊̉̇̽̇́̄͘͘̕3̵̢̡͔̪̫̦̼̤̯̞̺͕̇̓̋͊̀͘͝͝ͅ2̷͚̥̥̈́̓̈́̇̑͂̀͌̽̿Ņ̷͈͍̣̰̬̓̎̌͑̓̽͐̔̓͋̕̚̚͠ḏ̴̨̬̰̹̼̻̀́͌̊̀̉̉̿͝ͅt̵̛͇͓͚̝̥̫͂̑̎̄͒̽͘͘ͅp̶͍͎͂͊̿̋̓̎̎̿͘̚Ȟ̶̙̒̓̽͐̎͋̆̃̐͋̑̑͑̉͝g̵̨̨͔̺̭̩̤̜̝̠̲̙̓͆͑̕r̸̰͙̳̄̇̐̈́̎͒̋̾̾̚0̵̨̦̹̠̩͔͚͙̤̼̳͈͚̟̍͊́͜ͅl̴̡̗̘͎͚̠̜͒̈́͂͠Ṙ̵̲͓̯̹̐̓͑̂̈́̽́̇̆͌̋̈̌́͝ý̶̢̢̛̖͙̗̠̪̲̮̠͖͑̃̉̑͗̏͘͝q̴̨̡̛̜̝̪͉̗̭̬̺̼̙͚̑̀̒̓̈́̐̽̋̆͊̕͜y̸͖͉͇̠͉̘̩̲̆̍̌̈̿̕̚͘͘̚͝ͅơ̶͍̘̬͖̭̱͍̤̮͍̈́̊̑̃͆͒̿͘͠͠č̴̢̨͈̩̪̦̯̦̳͙̻͜P̶̡̛͚̘̪͇̖̯͎̲̹͕̳̜͓̈̇͛̇̊̋́̀͐̕͠h̸̡̛̯̜̗͙̥͍̪̃̓̀̀̋̓̽̈́̅̎͋͌͛̏̕͝p̴̨̧̲̗͖͕̮͕̪̗͎̭̤̽̔͜P̷̡̟͎̪̙͔̣̠͔͖͇͕͇̯̼̘̀̽̇̔́̉̌̊́̃͝ļ̵̠̣́͝ẖ̷̢̢̢͓̲͇̼̭͓̺̘̗͚̪̫̄̈G̸̜̯͉̝̤̝̫̣̠͎̼̣͕͚̬̒̂͒̄̓̅͑͠ͅŗ̸̢̠̼̪̻̼̙̜͖̱̬͋̆̊̏̓͆̓́̂̑̈̈́̈̾͌͘͝X̸̨̛̪͈͔̘̹̗̗͋͐̓̒͛̿̕ṯ̸̢͇̱͓͇̝̙̇̏̅͋̒̍͠͝Ş̷̛̤͉̞̖̯̤̗͓̈̀̈̀͐̈́̽͒̍̃͋̽͗̕̕Z̷̧̡̺̜̙̺̲̼̗̜̼͖̹̥͍̯̪͆F̷͖̺̮̻̹͗̀4̵̯͎͎̪̩̳͔̬̰͍̄͊̍͗̾̈́̈́̈̎́͆̚͠͠͝ͅT̶̳͉̜̟̝̏́͆̒̍̀̅̈́̉͑͌ͅǪ̷̩̖̳̠̓̍͌̃̔́͌͝ͅx̶̙̖̮͉̔͒͗͐̂S̷̹̠̩̜̯̟͕͕̺̣͑͐͑͗͆́̔͝x̸̲͎͔̰͔̣̭͍̤̬̠͛g̷͎̳͔͉̖͕̦̯̖͂͑̋̏͗̄͂̉̀͋̚̕͝ͅw̴̢̻͖̗͕͖͙̯͎̬̳̗̪̱͈̤̗̓̎͂͛̒͋̒̃̆͂͝8̴̮̪͖̳̖͇̫̪̞̯͎̪̲̖̠̽̈m̵̬̣͊͗͗͗̓̇̕͠f̷̢̪̜̭̖̅͋̇̀̊̓͂́̓͗̂̚͝r̶̨͚͚̮͚͎͓̲̘͍͙͉͓̻̫͇̆̿̀͑͆͒͒̂̐͆̔̏̿͋̃ͅḋ̴̨̨͙̮̣͎͉̻͍̣̙͚̞͖̖+̶̧͍̜͂̒̓͂́̍̓̽̄́̒̆͘͝͠s̵̢̮͙̦̬͎̞͛Ĵ̵͙̲̟͉̙̠͍̹̪̬̺͚̩̪͛͂͒̉̊̎͋̇͘͜͝͝/̸̨̞̬̩͖̬̲͎͕̹̤̐͆̃̒̾̉͘3̵̧̡͖̳̺̘̜̦̩̟̟͚̪͉͖͐́̔͆̍̊́͑̍͌̽̅̎̀͘͜E̵̢͙̯͇͉͇̱̺̯͙̍̓̽͐̊͛̊̋͆̅͐̐̓̊͘͠p̴̧̤̺̞̬͚̳͍̠͉̤͙͍̺͉̣̍̀̊̾̔́̐̃̈́͌̄͠j̷̧̧͕̤͕͕̹̰̝̜̻̣͚̓̂̀̉͋͐͊͗͂͋̕ͅc̸͓̞̭̙̖̬̹͖͔͕̭̻̩̩̃͋̉̔ͅy̸̩͉̺͙̺̣̝̬̩̻̟̦͈̣̮͒̀̎͌͗͗͒̄̇̕L̶̛͓̘̪͊̿̑̏͋͆̈́̀͝͠͝d̸̢͔̹̪̗͎̯̠̠͔̩̦̯̳͖͇̓̊̒̐̀̿̂̒͠m̶̢̨̪͎̥͇̳͇͇̻͚̭̈́͌̿͋́̚P̸̨̛̙͈̩͉̖̞̦̮̤̌͆̓̎͆̅̅̀̈́̈́͒̎͠ͅB̷̙̳͎̱̎̌̄̇̈́̈́̂̈́͗̿̈́̆̓f̵̡̨̢̛̺̯̹͓̜͙͔͈̲̭̂́̉̚ͅm̴͍̳̭͈̓̐̎̏̈́̌̔̚3̵̧̨͖̰͖̣̞̠̣͔̀̇̓̉̐̀̽̃̒͆͒̑̂̋͝͝͠8̶̨̧͓̼̼̺͉͕͇̱͉̜̳̖͈̬̤͗́̋̇̎̐̓̾̀́͋͌͌G̵̪̭̈́̈́̏̀͐ẁ̸̧̧̢̙̥͓͉̜̹̥̜͖͈͎̊̑͂͑́̓͒͝.
M6C/SOCOM
I haven’t unlocked it yet. Sorry, no comment from me, feel free to write your own.
Mean Green skins
I don’t personally like them over the fire-themed ones (pyromaniac speaking here), but do YOU know what the name of these skins is a reference to? Come on, oust yourself either as a Halo noob (like me) or a no-life Halo fan (like me), I dare you. And if you can answer, go play ODST on legendary RIGHT FUCKING NOW IMMEDIATELY THAT’S AN ORDER DIRECTLY FROM THE SUPER EARTH MINISTER OF UNITY GET MOVING SOLDIER.
A-9 Helljumper armor
best in the game, fite me 1v1 on rust (idc about the passives)
Sorry !BussyGyatt@feddit.org, I fell for it, I hope you can forgive me.
Came back to play the game just for it. I haven’t really played regularly since before the illuminate were added.
The MA5C is the only one I’ve unlocked so far, but it feels very much like the default AR, might be the same firing sound even. The medium pen is appreciated, but you do feel that 32 round mag, I think it should come with 9 or 10 mags to compensate.
Sucks that the shotgun is lackluster. I thought for sure that 8 gauge would hit like a truck when I saw that 6 round capacity.
[…] since before the illuminate were added
That’s a long time mate, welcome back!
[AR] same firing sound
I wish…
… actually I don’t, tbh I’ve always felt like the AR sounded like trash until Reach, which includes ODST - but no, it’s different and IMO acceptable.
I think the mag, while small, does its job as a 3-pen primary somewhat.8 gauge would hit like a truck
;n;
So 605 damage is not enough? How? That should OS most medium ennemies.
I took OP’s word for it, I haven’t unlocked it yet.
EDIT: Yeah this thing spanks for a primary. Probably gonna be my go-to shotgun for the vibes.
I’m a new (Xbox) player who was super hyped for this. But then I saw that you can’t just buy it, you have to use in-game currency. Okay, fine, I don’t love it but I can deal. Oh, but you can’t buy the exact amount needed for this Warbond! That fucking sucks and feels scummy.
So now I’m gonna wait until I build up 500 SC or whatever before I pick it up.
Still excited to use it, just not today.
Understandable and wise, you can farm 500 SC (adding in the standard purchaseable 1000) somewhat quickly but it’s still a few hours you’d want to spend actually having fun.
Even then, this is not a good first warbond to pick, unless your suuuuuper into Halo but even then it doesn’t really expand your play options much
It’s pretty unessential, the shotgun’s good but the rest is simply serviceable
It’s fine. Nothing too interesting gimmick-wise.
Not sure what you’re talking about. The shotgun is super powerful. You don’t need AP for your primary. The SMG is alright. Not OP, but it’s definitely my favorite submachinegun of the game.
yeah it’s good
I’ve used the shotty once, my opinion of it isn’t written in stone
(yes I do want AP on my primary sometimes)
