They are great!
P.S. Do I understand? In the 4th line before the flood?
You are indeed correct
Just a simple question are the flood going to be playable or are they going to be something else?
Getting the flood as a full playable faction is something I, personally, would love to do. However, they have a long way to go and will likely happen only in the distant future.
Nice!
I love the new brute.
These look extremely well done!
Top left, I am at a loss for words.
These are incredible! From the looks of it there are more to come which can mean it only gets better, and I see the Flood! YES!
Who would put a Jackal in command of a fleet? What about a grunt? lol
The third dude on the top looks like a pedo.
Read books.
Kig - Yar (A.K.A Jackals) command ships too. But their ships aren't exactly.... normal.. by covenant standards.
Yeah, specifically "Cole Protocol", right?
No, Contact Harvest had the Jackal pirates commanding a Covenant ship.
Wrong. Cole Protocol was the correct answer.
I never read Cole Protocol, but I know for a fact Contact Harvest has Jackal ship captains.
cole protocol and contact harvest both had jackals commanding ships. so you are both right about the jackals but wrong for saying the other is wrong...
Im still waiting for Canada's face to be in the portraits.
A skinny 19 year old doesn't make for a convincing Commander, unfortunately.
Then put Kennedy in, it's close enough.
There all great, but could you have a human with a few scars or something to show that (s)he is a vet? Kinda feels like all the humans (aside from the 2nd row guy) are all fresh outa officer training. Just something that might add to the feel of a desperate war?
While I could do that, I have several objections.
1) These people, with the exception of the two marines, are all Naval officers. They don't see a lot of face to face combat, and the Naval officers unskilled enough to let their ships get boarded generally end up dead. Actually, come to think of it, once boarded they end up dead regardless of whether they're skilled or not. Hence the unfortunate fate of one Captain Jacob Keyes.
2) Scars aren't really a sign of veterancy, they're just a sign of an inability to duck. Any rookie unlucky enough to jump into the line of fire can rack up a few scars.
3) Covenant weapons leave burns, not scars.
3.5) To counter the argument of, "Maybe they got hit by shrapnel from an exploding bulkhead," let me point out that those crew-members in Halo: CE who got hit by exploding bulkheads died because they got hit by exploding bulkheads. Also, exploding bulkheads are often accompanied by hard vacuum - a pressure differential that isn't generally conducive to one's health.
4) This would require me to do more work on portraits. Something I'm adverse to at this particular moment in time.
5) Since BioWare claims 'Artistic Integrity' is a valid excuse - and who am I to argue with an Electronic Arts Subsidiary - I hereby play that card. Because having it in my hand was kind of embarrassing, and I needed to get rid of it.
So. Tl;dr. No. No scars. Not unless Canada wants me to. In that case yes, there will be scars.
"This would require me to do more work on portraits. Something I'm adverse to at this particular moment in time."
I'm sorry, but implying any amount of extended work is ridiculous when clearly most of these are pictures of concept art, comics, and other pieces of work not done by you over a masked background.
these get better and better!
How many more do you plan on adding? Every time you guys upload this there's like ten new guys.
The UNSC portraits could STILL be a LOT better.....That's the one thing I'm hating right now...and could someone PLEASE change that UNSC captain's portrait who has the Hitler mustache thing goin' on?!! That's my ONE and ONLY niche!!! AND IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE.
I've been trying to discern exactly what you were saying here. It wasn't easy, but I think I've got it down.
"Personally, I think that the UNSC portraits could be improved upon. I enjoy talking in capslock, as this is the only niche I fill in society; though it does drive me insane."
And the Captain is clean-shaven, so I'm not exactly sure what you were getting at there.
He's talking about the one in the hat, he does kind of look like he has a Hitler stash.
Does this pic mean I have to have the butch lesbian and the kickass looking forerunner in the same picture group?
is that the Serina AI if it is i know the pics im using
No grunts?
Okay, first off Fantastic work on this. Really well done.
Secondly, heh, second row second picture. Is that supposed to be a random Forerunner or the Didact? If the former, could it be possible to include the Didact's symbol? Or if it's the later, I kinda like it, well actually either way I like it but this would just be for identification purposes.
it would be very interesting to play as the flood
