It is the only thing the series has going for it and honestly
If that was the case the franchise wouldn't be so successful with a dedicated fanbase.
thats only because no one (For some bizarre reason) makes pirate games. Ubisoft will be.
AC has the ame level of change as CoD. And a fanbase that still laps it up. Also, good. We need some goodpirate games. That's like, the only genre that hasn't been tapped yet.

However, if FC5 is just another FC3 clone, then we just haw Assasins Creed V2 on our hands.
Don't make me make a long post proving why AC isn't the same thing every year like I did to PSU.
I'm sorry. I predict that the next FC will add something really cool and not ever done much in games before, but the one after will remove the only thing tha provided the series much to go off.
Are you doing what I think you're doing?
Perhaps.
AC doesn't need ship combat to be successful. And there was more ship combat in Rogue, so it's not gone.
Plus ships aren't very Assassin-y. AC4 was a great game, but it was a poor Assassins Creed game.
The boats are literally THE one thing that I ever enjoyed in the games. The story just bored me and the gameplay is very meh. It is the only thing the series has going for it and honestly, thats only because no one (For some bizarre reason) makes pirate games.

Far Cry 3 was good enough that Far Cry 4 an get away with the low amount of changes it has. However, if FC5 is just another FC3 clone, then we just haw Assasins Creed V2 on our hands.

I guess my post didn't give off the act I have no idea what he is.
If you'd be curious, Cheat posted a list of all the staff and their respective ranks as a spoiler in the OP.
I just skimmed through the OP.

Make Meta a mod/monitor.
Make Psy a rank higher than whatever he is now
If he were more active, I'd say Lord of Admirals for monitor.
Also, perhaps there is a way to make some board-specific mods that only have powers in that one board. That could take some stress off staff as then they're only worrying about one board.
Also, I'd say more GMT monitors, most are barely on in the middle of the day (GMT) but there's always 6+ in the American midday.
There is nothing higher than master ninja, besides Admin, and Psy won't get that.

The more reactive gasses would be more appropriate. Y'know, more damaging if they reacted to other (assumedly organic) compounds.
That just discounts Neon, Helium and Argon. But honestly, the temperatures that plasma is (A superheated gas in the thousandsof degrees) mean that there isn't much that wouldn't be melted/ boiled by it anyway. A chemical reaction would take place in the raw process of boiling.
No, actually I highly advise you avoid reactive gases, such as bromine, chlorine or flourine (those compounds you listed will break apart in plasma). 4th degree burns (which are indeed a thing) are already damaging enough, and I can't conceive of a way that a gaseous substance would actually stick to an individual enemy long enough to do anything significant, instead every time it fired you would make a toxic gas cloud in front of the shooter (unless the magnetic bottling was somehow able to keep any from leaking out of the gun, then it would just make a rapidly expanding toxic cloud wherever it hits). Not to mention the massive hazard involved with moving around containers of that stuff on a large scale. That could be a cool idea to consider if you give it to a specialized type of soldier that has caustic-resistant armor which would be devastating in confined areas, but not for regular infantry.
Concentrated Oxygen is highly corrosive and would be damaging to metals used in the gun or the users armor, but if your species uses corrosion-resistant materials it can be produced relatively easily.
Hydrogen will explode if exposed to heat in the presence of oxygen, so that's a bad one.
So out of the one's you've listed you're pretty much limited to noble gases or less reactive halogens like nitrogen, if you intend to be scientifically plausible.
Of, course, it can at least partially depend on the weapon's role. However, keeping the entirety of the gas contained would mean doing more damage to enemies (The species that uses them has to wear breathing masks due to their CO2 environment). But corrosive elements aren't common; the main construction materials are nanoplate, a self repairing sheet constructed o carbon nanotubes and can automatically repair when damage. Mutatium can be used for anything as it is a substance where almost all it's properties can manipulated, such as charge, resistance,mass etc. And gravitrium is a plate that defies gravity and is used to create hover craft and repel force. Because of this, not many substances in common use are corrosive.

>implying it's ever had a welcoming community
Every game, the 'pros' blame the newcomers for 'making the game worse' but then complain when they drive off the potential fanbase, reducing players.
The only part of the community that aren't dicks to everyone who hasn't been playing since before halo 2 came out are the forge community (Because it pretty much doesn't exist now) and the lore community still has idiots that despise 343 and hate them for the story post-Bungie.
Also the fact that most act like they just want a game with only one gun.
I could go and try to dig up threads from the Halo 2 forum welcoming noobs, not saying that in a derogatory way, and telling them that they'd be willing to play with them and help them, but I don't know if I could do that twice.
Most ex-pros/pros now that have made videos seem really laid back and make educational videos and explain basic things, as opposed to the over-aggressive MLG/Tryhard players that exist in some number. Also, the few players I've hung out with in-game were able to shit on me, but still kept me as a friend and would play with me despite me not being as good as them.
I don't think anybody wants a game with one gun.
I should've been clear about the pros thing. I was mainly referring to the wannabe pros and the MLG community that blames newcomers for every problem that exists in the game and shits on anyone that hasn't been playing since 2001.
The way people act around any gun that isn't the BR with wanting nerfs (And BR buffs) essentially makes the game a one-gun thing. In Halo 3, good luck using the AR or SMGs. In Halo 4, you used to be able to use pretty much everything before the TU which turned everything aside from the BR into a horrible weapon in every situation aside from the LR at long range.
Spoiler And I can rek with the BR on H4, but suck with every other weapon I used to like. And I hate burst fire guns in everything so I don't enjoy the br, so that TU pretty much killed Halo 4 for me.
The default H3 AR was pretty strong post TU, especially in close quarters. You just had to know how to use it.
I don't know I it's just me but I have this thing where a gun has tonsound powerful for me to like it. It's why I love the DMR and AR in H4 but hate the AR in 3 I think. Sort of like a psychological thing. I it sounds powerful, I can do better with it, and the MA5Poop was one of the worst gun sounds in ever. I really love the 343 is using actual weapons sounds for their guns (Such as an M1 Garand for the H2A sniper)
Popcorn AR definitely was not one of Bungie's better accomplishments. However, the Airsoft BR and Wubstep Hammer in Halo 4 can have the same thing said to. They used the Garand for the H2A Sniper Rifle? Huh, thought they would've used a .50 BMG and altered it a bit to sound more like the traditional Halo SR sound, with the specific fadeout.
The hammer, suppressor, magnum and rocket sounded plain terrible. The BR was good but got annoying quick, though I absolutely love the DMR's sound in H4.
I also remember them saying they use an MP5 for the SMG and (I want to say) an M101 shotgun. Though all the sound in H2A is gorgeous.
I'm 99% sure they used an M1911 .45 for the Magnum sounds, because CoD4 has the exact same sound for that weapon in its game.
I hope they keep getting better at that.
For H2A? Would make sense. I'm pretty sure Halo's pistol is a .45. I hope they bring back the SAW in H5. Everything about that weapon, the look, the sound, the feel. Everything about it was right and it was sexy as fuck.

I looked on Wikipedia and got excited when I saw the name Oppenheimer then got disappointed when I realised it wasn't the one that worked on the Manhattan Project.
Aside from that, they were all people I've never heard of. Feel free to look up March 30th.

That's not the MLG/Pro community whole, that's just the few loud-mouthed asshats that exist in every community. It's just more prevalent in competitive communities to the nature of the game.
IIRC, Post TU the AR killed quick at Close-Mid, Storm Rifle killed even quicker at Close, DMR still had better range, but the BR did get a stupidly done buff. I remember some BR-supporters even saying that they didn't need to make it as powerful as they did. AR and SMG were also viable weapons in Halo 3 when you didn't rely solely on their firepower to kill or you DW'd them.
Still, most Pro/Competitive players don't want a 1 gun game. They want a utility weapon, a weapon that works well in all situations, but isn't the best at any, as I recall. That still includes all the power weapons, and can allow room for other weapons. However, at that kind of playstyle, too many weapons really doesn't help.
Either way, the arseholes- representative or not- are at least partially helping in driving away new players, which was my original point, though I only ever saw people complain that H4's BR needed to be a 4SK weapon.
Still, I guess that's where me being a battlefield player comes in; I like having a wide variety of weapons that are specialised to a task so I can then make a class that is good at a certain role, which is why I don't rally play Halo. Not enough variety for me to enjoy. Which is fine, I don't think Halo should turn into battlefield an I'm still unsure on ADS in 5, even if it is just another aesthetic. If Halo's story wasn't as good as it was, I wouldn't buy the games as I'm not a big fan of the gameplay. But everyone has their opinions.
There are always assholes and always dumbasses, especially on internet forums. It might drive some people away, but most won't even go there in the first place, and running into those people in the game isn't too common.
Yeah, people complained that the BR being 5SK was bad and that it should be 4SK. Then 343i made it 4SK, but they did so in a way that you only needed 10 of the rounds to connect for it to count IIRC.
Yeah, that's fair enough. Halo has always had a simplistic multiplayer, and that's always really been its charm if you ask me. Of course, I'd like to see it so that players can change it in Custom Games and Forge any way they want, so it can be complex if people want to build it into that.
I jut want an entirely forge/ customs disc in H5G that has options for tweaking of damage, fire rate, bloom (etc) for every gun and grenade, has every weapon ad vehicle from every game in it, has stuff like ordnance and all the equipment and AA's and stuff and let people people make a full gametype. Want a sprint based game mode? You can tweak the full settings to balance it perfectly. Want a game mode with the Halo CE magnum? Go make it. That way, 343 can make whatever they want and include the tools for people to make a direct version of Halo 3 or 2 or whatever. Then allow custom games matchmaking and you would have an ideal Halo matchmaking where the community can do it's own Title updates and playlists.
That, plus bringing back Dual Wielding and allowing people to make maps/weapons/vehicles in some program 3D-modeling program and port them to the game, is what I have wanted and advocated for a long, long time.
We need a Halo on PC with full mod support already. I would love a Far Cry style map editor in there.
Though being able to import some T-45D power armour and a Gatling gun to fight in woul be fucking amazing.
Well, we have Halo Custom Edition. Buuut, that's self-supporting and around 10 years old, so the modders aren't as active despite having better things like Opensauce to work with.
I think that porting even Halo 4 over to the PC would inspire a lot of that content again, though MCCwpuld be the ideal scenario. Then people could rip textures and AI from all the games and mix and match to create scenes from the books in playable form and shit.

Argon sounds cool, but i feel as though it really depends on what type of characters are shooting them
The species that shoots them evolved in a carbon-dioxide based atmosphere, so they wear masks akin to those on Avatar that the humans use. their society is much like that of the USSR (Though they actually listen to their people and make sure they are happy to an extent, political dissent is not allowed and military service is mandatory) and their world is heavily urbanised. The military is sorted into three main groups- infantry, leader and command and this is separted by the colour of their coat, dark red, green or blue. The emperor has a sigature colour, used in the flag, stripes, mask colour, colour of plasma and other aspects of life. The current emperor uses orange, the previous violet.
well with that in mind, i'd have to say N2, i just feel like that would suit them well. i'm assuming they're the antagonists so i feel like those would be good colors for not-so-evil characters. the only problem is that that might make the connection to the USSR a bit obvious, not sure if that'd be a plus or a minus
sounds like a cool story though
There are a few species;
Sanpaari, Osmatari, Nûenin, Rithrael, Algonein,Thanatus,Menae,Tankaii,Iquin(And subspecies Iquinaf and Iquinay)
1,2,8 and 11 are all human allies. 3,5 and 9 are neutral/some factions enemy some ally and 6 and 7 are enemy (So is 10, but they're hostile to everything)
Then there's the S'pher which are like the Reapers/ Covenant.
which species is the one shooting them? sounds like a really in depth story you already have
I also have a map to point out the locations.  Beserker (Left hand green with blank stars) is Iquin. The underlined star system in each territory is the Homeworld, Burrower (Green/ brown bottom left) is Iquinay and the Archer are feral subspecies living only on the Iquin Homeworld.

Plasma would expand into harmless gas a few seconds after leaving the gun, so I guess clear.
It's contained and guided in a magnetic field. The downside if which means the guns have relatively short ranges (<100metres) when compared to the MA's and Ballistics employed by other species.

Then allow custom games matchmaking and you would have an ideal Halo matchmaking where the community can do it's own Title updates and playlists.
That, plus bringing back Dual Wielding and allowing people to make maps/weapons/vehicles in some program 3D-modeling program and port them to the game, is what I have wanted and advocated for a long, long time.
We need a Halo on PC with full mod support already. I would love a Far Cry style map editor in there. Though being able to import some T-45D power armour and a Gatling gun to fight in woul be fucking amazing.

>implying it's ever had a welcoming community
Every game, the 'pros' blame the newcomers for 'making the game worse' but then complain when they drive off the potential fanbase, reducing players.
The only part of the community that aren't dicks to everyone who hasn't been playing since before halo 2 came out are the forge community (Because it pretty much doesn't exist now) and the lore community still has idiots that despise 343 and hate them for the story post-Bungie.
Also the fact that most act like they just want a game with only one gun.
I could go and try to dig up threads from the Halo 2 forum welcoming noobs, not saying that in a derogatory way, and telling them that they'd be willing to play with them and help them, but I don't know if I could do that twice.
Most ex-pros/pros now that have made videos seem really laid back and make educational videos and explain basic things, as opposed to the over-aggressive MLG/Tryhard players that exist in some number. Also, the few players I've hung out with in-game were able to shit on me, but still kept me as a friend and would play with me despite me not being as good as them.
I don't think anybody wants a game with one gun.
I should've been clear about the pros thing. I was mainly referring to the wannabe pros and the MLG community that blames newcomers for every problem that exists in the game and shits on anyone that hasn't been playing since 2001.
The way people act around any gun that isn't the BR with wanting nerfs (And BR buffs) essentially makes the game a one-gun thing. In Halo 3, good luck using the AR or SMGs. In Halo 4, you used to be able to use pretty much everything before the TU which turned everything aside from the BR into a horrible weapon in every situation aside from the LR at long range.
Spoiler And I can rek with the BR on H4, but suck with every other weapon I used to like. And I hate burst fire guns in everything so I don't enjoy the br, so that TU pretty much killed Halo 4 for me.
The default H3 AR was pretty strong post TU, especially in close quarters. You just had to know how to use it.
I don't know I it's just me but I have this thing where a gun has tonsound powerful for me to like it. It's why I love the DMR and AR in H4 but hate the AR in 3 I think. Sort of like a psychological thing. I it sounds powerful, I can do better with it, and the MA5Poop was one of the worst gun sounds in ever. I really love the 343 is using actual weapons sounds for their guns (Such as an M1 Garand for the H2A sniper)

That's not the MLG/Pro community whole, that's just the few loud-mouthed asshats that exist in every community. It's just more prevalent in competitive communities to the nature of the game.
IIRC, Post TU the AR killed quick at Close-Mid, Storm Rifle killed even quicker at Close, DMR still had better range, but the BR did get a stupidly done buff. I remember some BR-supporters even saying that they didn't need to make it as powerful as they did. AR and SMG were also viable weapons in Halo 3 when you didn't rely solely on their firepower to kill or you DW'd them.
Still, most Pro/Competitive players don't want a 1 gun game. They want a utility weapon, a weapon that works well in all situations, but isn't the best at any, as I recall. That still includes all the power weapons, and can allow room for other weapons. However, at that kind of playstyle, too many weapons really doesn't help.
Either way, the arseholes- representative or not- are at least partially helping in driving away new players, which was my original point, though I only ever saw people complain that H4's BR needed to be a 4SK weapon.
Still, I guess that's where me being a battlefield player comes in; I like having a wide variety of weapons that are specialised to a task so I can then make a class that is good at a certain role, which is why I don't rally play Halo. Not enough variety for me to enjoy. Which is fine, I don't think Halo should turn into battlefield an I'm still unsure on ADS in 5, even if it is just another aesthetic. If Halo's story wasn't as good as it was, I wouldn't buy the games as I'm not a big fan of the gameplay. But everyone has their opinions.
There are always assholes and always dumbasses, especially on internet forums. It might drive some people away, but most won't even go there in the first place, and running into those people in the game isn't too common.
Yeah, people complained that the BR being 5SK was bad and that it should be 4SK. Then 343i made it 4SK, but they did so in a way that you only needed 10 of the rounds to connect for it to count IIRC.
Yeah, that's fair enough. Halo has always had a simplistic multiplayer, and that's always really been its charm if you ask me. Of course, I'd like to see it so that players can change it in Custom Games and Forge any way they want, so it can be complex if people want to build it into that.
I jut want an entirely forge/ customs disc in H5G that has options for tweaking of damage, fire rate, bloom (etc) for every gun and grenade, has every weapon ad vehicle from every game in it, has stuff like ordnance and all the equipment and AA's and stuff and let people people make a full gametype. Want a sprint based game mode? You can tweak the full settings to balance it perfectly. Want a game mode with the Halo CE magnum? Go make it. That way, 343 can make whatever they want and include the tools for people to make a direct version of Halo 3 or 2 or whatever.

Huh. I'd say whichever would seem the most abundant/easiest to utilize in the plasma-making process. Which I happen to no nearly nothing about how that is done. Or something environmentally friendly, idk.
Edit: Is there any real difference in effectiveness?
Well they're all superheated to a few thousand degrees, so they are all doing 4th (If thats a thing) degree burns and melting most metals. It's more based on the colour than anything. The species that utilises them most is ruled in a society that works like an alien USSR, and the leader has a signature colour in their flags and aesthetic that dicates the colour of their weapons. The previous leader- Tabek- used a violet colour in the army. The current leader- Kabolt- uses orange, which is reflected in the flag and colour of lights and stuff.
That sounds like a pretty cool idea actually.
Thanks. They're definitely one of my favourite species in the thing. Partially because of the name. Osmatari just rolls off the tongue really easily.

Argon sounds cool, but i feel as though it really depends on what type of characters are shooting them
The species that shoots them evolved in a carbon-dioxide based atmosphere, so they wear masks akin to those on Avatar that the humans use. their society is much like that of the USSR (Though they actually listen to their people and make sure they are happy to an extent, political dissent is not allowed and military service is mandatory) and their world is heavily urbanised. The military is sorted into three main groups- infantry, leader and command and this is separted by the colour of their coat, dark red, green or blue. The emperor has a sigature colour, used in the flag, stripes, mask colour, colour of plasma and other aspects of life. The current emperor uses orange, the previous violet.
well with that in mind, i'd have to say N2, i just feel like that would suit them well. i'm assuming they're the antagonists so i feel like those would be good colors for not-so-evil characters. the only problem is that that might make the connection to the USSR a bit obvious, not sure if that'd be a plus or a minus
sounds like a cool story though
There are a few species;
Sanpaari, Osmatari, Nûenin, Rithrael, Algonein,Thanatus,Menae,Tankaii,Iquin(And subspecies Iquinaf and Iquinay)
1,2,8 and 11 are all human allies. 3,5 and 9 are neutral/some factions enemy some ally and 6 and 7 are enemy (So is 10, but they're hostile to everything)
Then there's the S'pher which are like the Reapers/ Covenant.
which species is the one shooting them? sounds like a really in depth story you already have
Osmatari. The Sanpaari use magnetic accelerators (Rail/Coilguns) and the Nûenin use lasers. Humans use ballistics (though they have .50 assault rifles) as well as Thanatus. The Iquin use mainly Melee and Spike/ Flechette weapons and the Iquinay use 'seismic' weapons- concentrated discharges of kineti energy (Earthquake guns) and the Menae and Iquinaf use compound an regular bows, respectively.
