I want to mention that not everyone is a Spartan and new players can not be. Many people who just join or who are interested in the RP want one. Each player is either Covenant, ODST, Marine's or Navy. We have tried to make it semi-realistic so the Marine's will no longer pump several thousand assault rifle bullets to kill a grunt across the street from him. It is quite fun actually.
Just out of curiosity, is this set in the pre-reach era? Or around the same time as Halo 3?
We dislike a lot of the things that Halo is about and did not want it to revolve around supr awsum sprtns an measter cheef. So we opted to make it quite a bit forward, 2532. The campaign started with players destroying Covenant AA in Arcadia (note: other players were free to play as Covie's) and when they were down; everyone pulled to the ONI building to evacuate personal and wait for evac. Of course the UNSC player base ended up royally screwing everything over and our time line has pretty much divulged from Halo, we now have an independent story not touched by the Halo verse.
Eeeep, I'm really sorry for starting so mujch butthurt in here.
Anyway this sounds like something i would be interested in, which is the whole reason i looked in here ayway, however my other commitments are rather time consuming so i'll have to pass.
It is no problem, come by if you change your mind.
