[OOC] First Contact. (Halo & Star Wars Crossover)

[Revans Exile]

This is set in The Old Republic timeline so you won't find any of these guys but you will see these guys. The latter imo is a hell of lot inferior to the former.

[Zarkun]

Well, factor in technological advances and such and sure, they probably are, but to be fair, you can't really compare the two either. Different eras, different needs and such.

[Nerevarine]

Hey, I'm thinking of joining this. I'm considering playing as a small group of Mandalorians, but I just would like to know what time period the Star Wars universe is at in this RP

[Zarkun]

The game Star Wars: The Old Republic. When most of the Mandolorians worked for the Sith Empire because Mandalore said so.

[Nallore]

The RP is set a few hundred years after the events of Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, but takes place around 25 years before the events of the MMO The Old Republic.

@Zarkun

Even if they had tech on equal levels, the Clone ones are still superior because they chose strong but light weapons while the other ones choose weapons weight a lot which will slow them down considerably.

[Zarkun]

ARC troopers use rifles, Commandos use Assault Cannons, heavy weapons designed to do heavy damage. Sure it's slower but that doesn't mean they're any less effective at their job.

@Zarkun

The Clone Commandos I saw didn't use heavy weapons. They used a modular weapon system.

A slow soldier is one that will end up with a bullet in his head.

[Zarkun]

Depends on who you ask. To be frank, even the fast troopers get hit with blaster bolts and no one but the player is ever able to hit anything...

[JessieTargaryen]

Gah I want an actual good Commando style character. Like the good ol Republic Commandos (that book and game series is great. Yes I'm aware there was only one Commando Game)

[Zarkun]

Wrong type of Commando for the Era. Pretty similar concept though.

@Zarkun

I know the Era and stuff is wrong. Could I do something like the ARC was put on ice and only thawed out like a year ago? I could find a reason. If that works?

@Jasonhero

This is set thousands of years before any of the movies. Give up on the idea of using a Jango Fett clone. Move on to another character idea.

@Jasonhero

Agreeing with Revans Exile. You are pushing too hard, Jason. Please move onto another character idea.

[JessieTargaryen]

Alright so that brings it to either a Jedi Knight (Kriffing Jetii), a Vanguard Trooper (on the Old Republic Website. I was busy playing as a Jedi in the MMO.), or a Spartan.

I would assume this works. Seeing as this is close to when the MMO was.

I might also say screw it and make a Spartan. I'm much more versed in my Halo Background.

Hey @Revans Exile, just a slight mistake in your post. You mention Shayan when I think you mean Khazo: Shayan has yet to arrive from the engine room with his units. Khazo's the one with the hostage.

@Charter

Fixed it.

<Insert joke about how all Elites look the same.>

[JessieTargaryen]

I'm probably gonna end up making a SPARTAN IV later today.

[Zarkun]

Except for their armor, Elites DO look a lot alike...Well, maybe skin tones.

[TheDarkTemplar]

Time for a Shayan Ex-Machina.
