Halo Spartan Strike announced

Wut. http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/15/halo-spartan-strike-announced-for-windows-devices-and-steam-ign-first

For Windows Devices and Steam...who didn't see this coming. Also I bet that Kestrel VTOL will be in Halo 5 Guardians.

I...wasn't expecting that...

What is this? A new Halo Wars?

big dog · October 15, 2014, 08:27:25 AM

I liked Spartan Assault so I'm not going to complain.

Basically another Spartan Assault, which came out last year to Windows devices, then steam, and finally Xbox 360 and Xbox One. This will probably too eventually.

Never played Spartan Assault, I don't really have much interest in it.

Kestrel VTOL...same as this thing?

This I wasn't expecting.

Eh, probably won't get it. I didn't play SA after I finished it, and if there's as much story as SA, I won't have reason to.

Was Spartan Assault fun? It's on Steam sales for like $1 so I was thinking of getting it next time it comes up.

Naru · October 15, 2014, 10:34:00 AM

Spartan Assault was worth the 2 bucks I spent on it.

You're complaining about a mobile Halo game that 343i didn't even make being yearly...

It's a fucking mobile game, not Halo 5: Guardians.

It's a fracking mobile game, not Halo 5: Guardians.

Not really complaining...

> Set in 2552 (Halo 2 period)
> Locations on Gamma Halo
> Covenant searching for Artifact to help Prometheans

Curious - is this meant to be an AU, or does 343 just not care?

If you watched the video, he says the game starts in 2552 New Mombasa, then jumps ahead to 2557.

DAS B00T x2 · October 15, 2014, 11:45:29 AM

Is he saying "war-thog"?

I am watching the video.

"We start the game in 2552, in New Mombasa, where you are chasing after an artifact the Covenant are after to invite their Promethean friends in. You lose the artifact, and then five years later..."

Still makes zero sense.

Not really, in that it makes sense that in 2552, the Covenant knew about the Promethean?

It could just be the way he's phrasing it, but it still comes off as bad.

1. It's fairly obvious he was paraphrasing.

2. If he wasn't, it's not out of the question. In Halo 3 the Elites already knew specifics regarding Flood Pure Forms due to "sacred texts".

Because Spartan Assault was such a big success.

Well, a bunch of people did buy it actually.

Don't ask me why.

Still waiting for the PC to get a real Halo game.
