Two aircraft belonging to the UCEDF (Human faction: United Colonies of Earth Defence Force)  Spoiler HAC-266 Mosquito
An innovation around the time of the Exilion Wars, the Mosquito was designed alongside the Dragonfly for multi-use on multiple worlds. It was initially manufactured by NASARC, before the contracts were scrapped with the emergence of craft like the Challenger, though Rogue Suppliers would manufacture black market models for decades to come, keeping a steady supply of these helicopters in service among underfunded militias alongside the aforementioned cousin. The refinements to create those in rogue territories in line with cheaper, more efficient materials meant that the versions in use by 2600 were able to carry twice the payload due to half the weight of the first versions thanks to sacrificing the ancient fossil fuel system for a fission battery and thus reducing the weight. In the 2650’s, these craft would be replicated by the UCE after the loss of advanced technology factories. It can carry 3 operators, one pilot and two gunners.
Ordnance-
H3VM machine gun x2- Gunner 1+2
MJOLNIR laser (Pilot)
150x WASP Missile (Gunner 1)
150x HYDRACORE missile (Gunner 2)
2x Spectre 40mm cannons (Pilot)
 Spoiler RCF-647 Challenger (Repulsorcraft Fighter)
The Challenger is a small fighter designed as a replacement of the previous generation ships like the Bulldog and Puma. It uses magnetic repulsion in lieu of traditional engines to accelerate to incredible speeds in atmosphere, using standard propulsion in space. It also has nanoplate armour and optical camouflage systems, alongside being able to carry hundreds of missiles and change cannons between 30mm,40mm,Laser and even Banshee on a whim.
The back thrusters of the Challenger can be turned when necessary to be able to propel in almost any direction.
Being produced by NASARC only a few years before the Fall of Earth, the Challenger would never see widespread manufacture and usage due to its material cost, though small amounts would be used to guard Exodus and other HVT’s throughout the war, eventually leading the invasion of Earth.
And this one is a S'pher Venus-Class destroyer. Ignore the labelling on the image, those were done before I decided on antimatter weaponry for the S'pher and as such, they do not use missiles. Also, photobucket doesn't like me rotating the image. Also ignore the fuckin huge engine plume that I drew because I went crazy with fire.  Spoiler First sighted at the destruction of the Aerostat Colonies of Venus, this destroyer comprises the bulk of the S'pher navy, able to teravel in atmosphere and space. It has three AM beams on the wings, with numerous point defence turrets around the hull. These turrets can form at will, making it impossible to track how many there are.

I like 30 minute cutscenes if they add/ tell a lot about the background. Not like fucking persona 4 that took nearly 2 hours to get into the gameplay

To be fair, they're paid to make games, not talk about them.
Impression is everything though.
I fault Bungie employees on many things, but not on how good they are at public speaking.

it is damn near impossible to play Medic on OW.
MEDIC.exe has encountered a fatal error and needs to close. Please exit Operation Whiteout and try Metro or Locker instead, ya dingus.
Source: experience
On topic, now: I've had crap luck trying to play Medic in any of the Final Stand maps. Support class with mortar spam is the way to go.
You're talking to te guy with Ultimate Medic done and 50 hours medic experience. I can play fine on any of the other FS maps, but all of Whiteout's cover just gets destroyed t the objectives making infantry play not fun.
Bro, I've been playing Medic since 2142.
but holy crud, that's a lot of BF4 if you've finished Ultimate Medic. Why doesn't Ultimate Medic count my stats from before it existed? ;__;
Bitch, I'm a level 113 Brigadier General IV.
I managed to do 200ARkills/50 revives/ 100 heals and 50 grende launcher kills in about two days- I just used the M320 MASS on Locker for a bit. The main thing was defib kills so I just hung round the hills on Whiteout and defib'd snipers. Altogether, I got it in less than a week and I'm nearly done with ultimate support. I don't have the assignments unlocked for Engineer/ Recon (I rarely snipe soI only have 5 marksman ribbons) so I probably won't do them for a while.
I really hope they do 2143, I never got to play 2142 but it looked so cool, and I'm really enjoying Final Stand's 'taster' of 2142 with the Railgun and shit.
Also, have you killed anyone with an icicle yet?
Thanks for the tips, I mainly just heal and revive, rarely ever use grenade launchers since the LVG got nerfed. Honestly, I've only ever gotten 1 defib kill in any Battlefield game and that was on Wake Island 2142. I'm always too greedy with the knife to think of using the defib >.>
Nope, no icicle kills yet, too busy mortar spamming and C4 booby trapping on hardcore to be anywhere near that building. Might finally play Conquest tonight if I feel like it.
Final Stand has some shoutouts to 2142 like the Titan and walker factories (and all the snow), but honestly Carrier Assault in Naval Strike is the most like 2142, minus the laser shields and escaping from an exploding ship. I don't know why DICE neglected to add that last part, because the escape is where heroes are made. (ಥ_ಥ)
Considering they made half a Titan model, they could hav easily incorporated TA into maps like GoK and OW, and had Final Stand Carrier Assault. Plus using launch pods. Though its being hinted a lot that there will be another DLC for free.

You read Metro 2034 and 2035?
Have they been translated from Russian yet? Last I heard 34 hadn't and 35 wasn't released yet.
34 is.
The incredibly mixed reviews on it have me constantly putting off importing it from Bongland, since, once again, I don't think a US publisher has taken it up.
Awesome. I live in bongland so I may order it then let you know how it is. I loved 2033, I hope 34 carries this on. We need more post-nuclear fiction, it's such an interesting genre. Why no Fallout books? I just wish the game kept closer to the book..

Aye. I'd side with option two.
Although, you have to be careful when considering the "All Huumans r bad" trope as well. You can't win no matter what direction you take to be honest.
But your second option seems more interesting and creative. The S'pher represent an absolute. No compromise in justice or punishment. Humanity sits in a middle ground. They can be good, they can be bad. And the Sh'kaali represent chaos. But they aren't neccessirly bad.
Think about universes. Every universe, in theory, has the potential for a different set of laws. So, if one universe were to "bleed" into another, the results would be varied, potentially being benificial, or chatastrophic. If you ever read Asimov's "The God's Themselves," this will bring up the point I'm trying to make a little better.
In this scenario, I don't necessarily see the Sh'kaali as being bad, but because their universe operates on a different set of physics and laws than ours, their contact with our own universal mesh is devastating, and thus they are seen as a threat. Chaos.
I don't see many universes with the 'humans are inherently evil' reasoning. Plus, they aren't without reasoning in their actions; first contact with aliens was not peaceful and left many hateful, scared and generally pretty shitty towards other species. When they gained control due to having a good economy and general underhanded work, they were quick to install a pro-human regime. Of course, there's a militia pro-alien faction that also consists of a lot of humans, but the S'pher are indiscriminate, all or nothing as far as they care.
Like I said. Middle ground. And it's a central point I've used before in bits and pieces of my own stuff from time to time. The first experience was bumpy, left a sour taste in everybody's mouth, and now they all don't want to play nice.
You keep givin' me scenarios and one day I'll end up writing a fanfic in your respective universe. You're making good room for characters, which is what I enjoy. You're the dude with the microscope on armies, I'm the dude with camera on singular people and their actions.
Good fun.
To be fair, it's not like the aliens are saints. One species basically nuked itself twice before getting to space, another created a 300 year Siege of of the Homeworld of another species because they got bored and one captures hostage and eats them alive because that's their thing. No one is nice in my writing. Everyone is a dick bar one species.

I should maybe point out that I already have some of the halo books (But not the forerunner stuff... the first book was bleugh so I didn't follow that series)
Mass Effect/Star Wars aren't really my thing either <.<
I enjoyed the ME games and the Star Wars films but the extended universe stuff isn't reaaaally what I enjoy >.>
Don't mention that around any archive guys. However, I find Broken Circle, TFoR-First Strike and Contact Harvest to be particularly good in that series.

The S'pher still invade Earth in 2654 but for different reason; they long ago declared themselves as justice bringers and dedicated to removing injustice from the universe. Humans were largely oppressive towards other species and are seen as offenders to this reasoning and must be eliminated. Meh... seems like something a moralfag would write.
No, I just want reasoning better than all teh revenge and 'I'm too lazy to explain so let's just say its mysterious and ooh mystery!'
Plus I need something that isn't going to require a rewrite of 100+ documents.
Okay, it just put off that kinda... (thought I hate the term) really edgy sort of "humanity is inherently evil" line of thinking at first.
Nah. It makes more sense with context, which is my bad. Essentially, humans had bad experiences in first contact and most still harbour xenophobic opinions. When they gained power over everything due to a mixture of political blackmail and military buildup, they were quick to install pro-human policies. So kinda like if Cerberus gained full control I guess.

I've sort of hit a crossroads with my universe. Not with the stuff regarding the immediate history, but the backstory of everything else. Put simply, I've been displeased with how a lot of stuff has turned out and the direction I went in went down a route I do not like- option 1. Option 2 is one that I have been thinking that can fit with what I have established without too much retconning. Spoiler Option 1 is the current setting; a species of essentially gods created all life as an experiment, before one species rebelled and managed to create a safe area in the Milky Way. Several species were created to evolve behind the S'pher lines and ultimately fight back. One species was humanity. This goes against some things I have in mind; primarily the 'long lost species' trope and 'humanity is special' trope, for reasons I'm sure do not need explaining. Spoiler Option 2 is different. The S'pher still invade Earth in 2654 but for different reason; they long ago declared themselves as justice bringers and dedicated to removing injustice from the universe. Humans were largely oppressive towards other species and are seen as offenders to this reasoning and must be eliminated. The various anomaly that occupy space are in fact cracks in space caused by the S'pher weaponry used in destroying planets and star systems. The Sh'Kaali are a species occupying another dimension entirely, with the risk of being allowed through the cracks if the boundaries become too weak. This ultimately keeps all the major events the same, as well as the reasoning for misplaced stars (My galaxy does not align to real star maps) and even the two endings I pondered before can be kept with minimal change. The fact that humans evolved in one of these dimensional tears is pure coincidence. I prefer this as it adds that element of randomness into the lore while keeping an overarching threat, the major events and so forth in place as well as allowing new possibilities of alternate dimensions and time travel (Though I would not do the latter as a lazy excuse, but fully plan out a motive for a potential paradox scenario) and is overall more interesting to me, as well as leaves the questions of how large the S'pher empire is and so forth while not having long lost species with ancient relics. What do you think?
