Halo mod

[Master Cheeks]

Has anyone tried it out. How is it?

[ACJCLIGHTNING]

It has completely revitalized my interest in playing sins.....for whats that worth.

Its got quite a few problems, but it probably comes closer than any other mod(Maybe even star trek borg race) to completely changing how sins plays. this is simply because of their battle system consisting of phase 1(A heavy attack, MACs and Plasma Torpedos) and Phase 2(Archers/guns, pulse lasers).
Most early game UNSC ships will die in 1 hit from a covenant phase 1 attack.

Basically, battles tend to be pretty fast, andemphesize different things than vanilla sins.

I will say it definitly captures the feel of Halo extremely well. the battles are some of the most impressive looking things Ive seen and everything fits well with Halo Canon.
I will say that so far as UNSC, my games all seem to go 1 direction. Very slowly loosing to the covenant, loosing planet after planet over the course of a few hours, before finially reaching my production planet(Reach, obviously) where I likely end up effectivly loosing all hope of winning the war. Its actually extremely authentic.

Still, some problems hold it back, and one of which is balancing on some abilities and such.

Also, Flood is the most OP thing Ive ever seen. Its basically a time limit if you have them turned on. I don't think a game has ever gone over 40 minutes before flood have completely overrun the galaxy. Basically, I recomend turning them off unless your just in it to see them.

Ok, so that about covers it. its pretty unique as far as mods go, especially if your into halo lore. no reason not to try it, its not like your paying.

Ide certainly liketo hear them. Ive been able to crush UNSC Enemies, but if I face a covy in the mid-late game, I just slowly get pushed further and further back.

Also, has anyone found a counter to the flood yet? Im thinking lots of antifighter corvettes and alot of fighters since they cant be taken over, but in that situation if a carrior gets infected then any fleet near it is forfeit. so maby just lots of frigates and antifighter ships?

Even a single flood ship can dessimate a fleet if its in a bad position.

Like I said, very authentic.

Can any of you post a link to the halo mod

[Tazunte]

Ill give you tips and tricks to win most fights and how to stay alive even agaist a covi force 2-3x your size ( ps results may vary due to ships and tech) lol but friend me and just ask away. and for flood they are a nussance but iv stopped em plenty of times

[Tazunte]

I love it simply for the fact that every ships i feel can do damge (MAC/Plamsa Torpedos/Lance)
to a bigger ship. Like others said really authentic where the flood is something that will make you piss your pants and the covies have the advantage but with the new research options for the UNSC(Oni or UNSC your pick and it locks the other ) it will def give the unsc some more choices for fighting to covies head on though I fear Flood infected Infinty or CAS Assulat carrier. I have one real downside is no one plays it since Halo is console only so its pretty rare to find games running it :/

there is no infinity in the game yet, though I can't wait for them to add it. FYI Thermopoly class is not Infinity.
Their ship design for UNSC is fantastic aside from the prowlers, which seem to be based on the description of them in the book Fall of Reach than on the actual model shown in the animated series. its a minor complaint.

Also the covy models need a bit of work. especially(Forgot the name) the ship that is basically a tiny CCS Class.
Cant wait for Titan classes to be added(That would be infinity hopefully).

I belive they said the Two research options for the UNSC the one that where you pick one it locks the other from being used the UNSC will get the UNSC Tragalfar you know the Supercarrier that got its ass kicked at Reach and the other will ONI which get the UNSC Infinity and then for the Covies I can't remember if they Said it would be the Super Destroyer(i think they said its model is a place holder as well for the SD) or CAS pretty sure they said SD would be the Titan for covies (not counting they have not added the forunner faction yet)

Also I do know the Themoply is not the Infinty. I was simply stating its gonna be terrifying when a Flood gets a hold of the Infinty a CAS is bad enough imagine it has a MAC.

im working on guide to some basics for sins of the prophets (UNSC version) if any one has some of their own tactics or advice id love to hear it and test it for the guide.

[George H.W. Bush]

Try this one Taz it is the one way i have ever fought and deafeated the flood in one on one combat which is basically as most people know sins has a stand off range for ships before they fire my tactic is to use that stand of by having my ships get the flood ships to play ring around the rosie in gravity well with the ring being a minefieldjust basically keep staying slightly out of stand off range while ceontinusly running around the grav well pretty hard to do but i find it very easy for deafeating flood.


PS it may have been by luck i done that so if it does not work then im sorry to bother you and waste your time

[Tazunte]

lol i cant say iv tried that way yet. ill try it and see how it goes. and any time. Add me as a friend if u ever wanna do an mp game with me.

I've fought the flood before, I managed to fight them off in the Entrenchment version and only lost about 6 of my ships.....and for OCD reasons I don't build a ridiculous fleet but stay to a localized task force of no more than 10 ships. The trick is to micromanage the **** out of your ships, MAC platforms, and even your fighters/bombers. Target the flood spore that LEADS THE CHARGE. May not always be the first one up front, sometimes one will dart from the center of a cluster and then speed ahead of the entire group. Every time you kill that specific one, they tend to pause for roughly 2-4 seconds. And that gives you time to target the other spores and look for the charger (as I call it) individually so two MACs aren't hitting the same target twice.

This is the tactic I used with nothing more than 4 frigates, 2 cruisers and a Phoenix Assault ship. And the flood spores were roughly in the mid 150s with the additional 20 plus or minus 10 flood carriers.

Is there a Mass Effect mod?

[Unikraken]

I hear the Halo mod is literally the best mod out there.
