Halo:Conflicts

Spartan 112

Halo:Conflicts is a computer game published by Microsoft Game Studios, and is based off the wildly popular Halo franchise. In Halo:Conflicts, three factions fight for territorial control over an expansive,living galaxy. Each player controls a soldier from one of the three factions. Players may specialize in a combination of various fields such as: Medical, sniping, heavy weaponry, and aircraft and/or ground vehicle access.

=Gameplay= At any one time, both of the Conflicts servers hosts potentially thousands of players in a variety of landscapes, from the war on foot to the air, across desert, mountains, forests and swamps, and even combat in the furthest reaches of Space. The goal is simple: each faction must attempt to secure or destroy the conflicted planet, based on their factions agenda.

Promotion Points and Ranks
Promotion Points are Halo:Conflicts form of EXP. Promotion Points, or PP, are gained through various means. As players advance in rank, they gain new skills that can further benefit their allies.

 * Destroying Hostile Vehicles/Structures.
 * Healing/Supplying friendly forces.
 * Securing/Glassing Planets.

Factions
The factions of Halo:Conflicts are very crucial, they determine which players are allied and which players are hostile.

UNSC
The main government of humanity,formed in 2160 to oversee UN operations in space.Their first major military operations was during the Interplanetary War against Communist and Fascist forces. When the Covenant first struck against Humanity, the UNSC was already in a fierce civil war against Insurrection forces. Now, with the Covenant treat bigger than ever, the UNSC is the first and last line of defense against the alien threat. Humans are naturally weaker than races in the Covenant,however they are intelligent and have primitive weaponry that is effective. They can work together with the Covenant Separatists.

Insurrectionists
Insurrectionists were the common name of the rebels that began to resist UNSC control over on Earth and the Sol system. The United Rebel Front were one of the factions that formed the Insurrectionists. They often operated various terrorist and rebel activities against the UNSC such as bombing UNSC targets. They are known to operate inside massive cities located within asteroids, and use the asteroid belt to their advantage. UNSC Players can choose to separate from the UNSC,becoming allied with rebel NPCS and players, and become hostile to UNSC NPCS and players.

Covenant
The zealous alien empire known as the Covenant is one of the most dangerous forces in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Dominated by two major alien species, the Sangheili and the San 'Shyumm, the Covenant forces are mostly forced into the Covenant. The Covenant worship an ancient race of beings known as the Forerunners, believing they fired the Halo Array as a form of ascending to godhood, a path the Covenant call the Great Journey and hope to walk the path.

Covenant Separatists
On servers starting in Late 2552-2553, the choice between Separatists and Loyalists is available. The Separatists are made up of Sangheili, some Unggoy and some Lekgolo. The Separatists can either work with the UNSC or fight on their own.

Covenant Loyalists
On servers starting in Late 2552-2553, the choice between Separatists and Loyalists is available. The Loyalists are Covenant races that follow the San 'Shyumm, and include the Jiralhanae,Yanme'e,Kig-Yar,some Lekgolo and some Unggony. This faction are numerically outnumbered but they also have the Brute Sandbox,providing some of the most powerful weaponry and vehicles in game.

Weapons
Weaponry is the bread and butter of any shooter game. Various weapons require a certain amount of skill in that weapon category to use them effectively. When used ineffectively, a weapon can bounce,sending bullets away from the target. Skill can be gained from combat experience or through local trainers.

Weapon Types

 * Light Weapons:Typically lightweight, close quarters weapons such as pistols,SMGs and other dual weldable weapons. These weapons make the user lighter thus able to run faster.
 * Medium Weapons:Standard fighting weapons,good for multitudes of combat situations. The player runs at normal speed when using these weapons.
 * Heavy Weapons:Strong specialists weaponry. These weapons often include portable LMGs,rocket launchers,mortars,etc. Makes the user run slower than normal.
 * Support Weapons:Defensive weapons or heavy offensive killers. Mostly turreted weapons. Makes the user immobile while unpacked,but extremely slow while packed.

Vehicles
Your trapped by hostile fire, your team desperately fighting off but in vain. They advance ever closer, troops and armor pushing through defenses to get to your cowering selves. Suddenly, as if being watched over, a flight of gunships fly over, the armor being decimated by their missiles. Their cannons ripping through infantry. Vehicles are often the saving graces for soldiers whom are outgunned, arriving to provide their relief. Vehicles require skill as well to use.

Ground Vehicles

 * Scouts:Light and quick vehicles,designed for rapid attacks and extractions.
 * LRVs:Lightly armored vehicles that are used for almost anything.
 * LTT:Lightweight troop transports,an offshoot of an LRV
 * APC:Heavily armored fighting vehicles and troop transports.
 * Tanks:Combat vehicles that can be very destructive
 * Artillery:Long ranged support vehicles
 * AA:Anti-Air vehicles,very useful against some ground units as well.

Aircraft Types

 * Interceptors:Fast and lightly armored aircraft, designed to be Anti-Air.
 * Fighters:Standard multi-role aircraft.
 * Bombers:Heavily armored, slow and very powerful against ships and ground based targets.
 * Gunships:Quick,rapid striking vehicles.
 * Dropships:Troop and vehicle transports.

Spacecraft Types

 * Frigate:medium-tonnage vessels,fast but lightly armored.
 * Destroyer:fast and maneuverable yet long-endurance warship, stronger than a frigate but weaker than a cruiser.
 * Cruiser: heavily armed and armored capital warship.
 * Carrier:A large warship carrying fighters equipped with flight decks for takeoffs and landings,also carries a lot of troops and vehicles.
 * Battleship:large, heavily armored warship with a main battery consisting of the largest caliber of guns.
 * Corvette:Small, stealthy ships often used for intelligence and black ops.

Crew Stations
As with all ships, they require a good crew. Only five crew members are necessary, however having more can contribute to further success.


 * Captain/Shipmaster:Commander of the ship, gives the orders to other crewmen. Can only be commanded by an Officer rank.
 * Weapons:Controller and monitor of ship based weaponry.
 * Navigation:Basically the pilot of the ship.
 * Communications:Decipher of ship communications,also sends communication signals.
 * Ops:Monitors the ships radar and sensors for hostile forces.

Time Periods

 * 2525-2532:Beginning of the war,most action in the Outer Colonies.
 * 2534-early 2552:Middle of the war, action increased to Inner Colonies.
 * late 2552-2553:End of the war, very little Human planets left. Covenant splintered into Separatists and Loyalists.

Currency

 * cR-UNSC
 * Solidus-Covenant

Currency is gained through trade and accomplishing missions. Currency is used to purchase new weapons,armors,and weapon modifications.

Forerunner Artifacts
Very important to players, they upgrade the effectiveness of vehicles,troops and ships. When an artifact is found, it is to be taken to the local commander in charge, there the entire force under the players command will reap the benefits. Covenant players must be careful, should they destroy an artifact, the Prophets will punish them severely.
 * 1) Combat Skin:Increases the armor rating of players
 * 2) Armor plate:increases the armor rating of vehicles(ground/air)
 * 3) Data Chip:Increases the speed of sent messages of distances and radar strength
 * 4) Crystal:Increases Slipspace speed and accuracy in ships.
 * 5) Weapon piece:Increases vehicle/ship/player weapon accuracy and strength.

Cover
In game, various cover is available depending on environment. Some cover will protect from damage, such as craters, walls and debris, while others will help you blend in, such as shadows and water. Wearing camouflage that matches with the environment will also help blend in, wearing Blue camo won't help much when fighting in a desert.

=Clans= Occasionally, groups of players who often play and work together will form clans. Clans can range from four members of a Fireteam(Human) or File(Covenant), all the way to 20,000 strong Divisions(Human) or Legions(Covenant). Clans can be given objectives by the clan leader to further help their own agenda, or the agenda of the faction they serve.

=Humans of The UNSC= The United Nations Space Command, better known as the UNSC, is the current main government of humanity, spanning multiple colony worlds along with Earth. Formed in the 2160's, during a period where remnants of old cultural ideologies clashed for supremacy in the Sol System, the UNSC served mainly as an overseer of United Nations military operations in space. After initiating massive militarization propaganda throughout its off-world colonies, the UN, through the UNSC, defeated Communist and Fascist forces in a conflict generally known as the "Interplanetary War", consisting of several side-battles that took place on Mars, the Jovian Moons and the South American rainforests. Although the war brought a great deal of suffering to both the colonial population and the residents of Earth, it also united humanity's military forces into a common armed force by the end of the 22nd century known as the UNSC.

Classes
The UNSC has a class based system for its players based on their strengths and weaknesses. Classes can either be determined by the player themselves at start or determined by an in game system based on how a player preforms in training.

Soldier
Boots on the ground. The Soldier class is the standard,all around combat class in Halo:Conflicts. It lacks any of the advanced capabilities of the other classes, and is therefore a good class for people new to the game. Soldiers are mostly equipped with medium weaponry and a pistol for a sidearm.

Support
You are gonna need a bigger gun! The Support class is the heavy weapons specialists of the UNSC. Support soldiers uses Light Machine Guns to provide covering fire for allies and use their rocket launchers to destroy hostile vehicles.

Marksman
One shot, one kill. The Marksman class is the snipers and scouts of the UNSC. Marksmen use their sniper rifles to pick off hostile soldiers and to scout areas ahead of UNSC forces. They can use their binoculars to see further than other UNSC soldiers and a laser designator to call for an Air strike or artillery barrage.

Medic
Prepare for your examination. The Medic class is the healers of the UNSC. Healers are lightly armed,mostly only with an SMG or Carbine, they however are the fastest of the other UNSC classes. Using medkits, they can heal injured soldiers in combat or advanced medkits in Medical Tents to further heal life threatening injuries. They can also revive fallen soldiers.

Engineer
Now that there is a fine piece of work. The Engineer class is the repair and building class of the UNSC. Engineers are able to build UNSC bases and defenses, along with repairing allied vehicles. Engineers are able to take apart Covenant vehicles,steal certain parts and modify UNSC vehicles with these parts.

Commando
Now reap the whirlwind. Commandos are UNSC light infantry. Commandos are fast moving infantry that can use various explosives to destroy vehicles,bases,infantry or even entire buildings. They use light weaponry due to their compact storage and usage in CQC. This class is unique in that whichever organization you choose will change the name of this class. Army commandos are Rangers,Navy commandos are Seals, Marine commandos are Force Recon, and ONI commandos are Pathfinders.

Colonial Militia(UNSC Army special class)
The first line of defense, and the last! The Colonial Militia was put into service in 2524 to combat Insurrections on UNSC controlled planets. In 2525,a Militia force on the planet Harvest was able to hold off an alien invasion while they evacuated civilians. Militia soldiers are faster than their soldier counterparts, but are stronger than commandos. There weapons vary but are simplistic.

UNSC Pilot(UNSC Navy special class)
Who needs air support? UNSC Pilots are Naval units which operate UNSC Aircraft. Often flying Longsword interceptors or Pelican dropships. When a pilot is in control of an aircraft, the aircraft seems to be faster,more agile and much deadlier than another unit.

Orbital Deployment Shock Trooper(UNSC Marine special class)
We go feet first, sir! The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers are an UNSC Marine Corps Special Forces unit.Known for their unorthodox methods of insertion, including orbital drops onto terrestrial environments,ODSTs are valuable shock troopers for UNSC forces.

Taking/Recapturing Planets
UNSC way to take a base of operations
 * Requirements:UNSC soldiers
 * Step 1:Take the Capital city,establish defense commander
 * Step 2:Fortify the planet with UNSC bases and defenses

Base
The Base is the UNSC's command center,providing support for forces defending the planet. To build buildings,Engineers call for certain prefab buildings which are brought in by Kingfisher Heavy Dropships,which drop off the building in the area it is called into. Buildings then require the engineer(s) to power up the building, which with a single engineer takes 10 minutes but can be reduced with more to a minimum of 1 minute.

Buildings

 * Command Center:Provides a comm link for all forces operating on planet. The local commander can also give missions to soldiers.
 * Barracks:Provides a place for soldiers to heal,relax and even trade.
 * Armory:Provides a place for troops to buy weapons and armor,as well as upgrades.
 * Drill Grounds:Training site;vehicle simulators,combat simulators and PvP.
 * Motor Pool:A way to buy ground vehicles for combat use,and to retrieve and repair damaged or destroyed vehicles.

 * Triage:Medics send wounded here who are either too hurt to be healed on the battlefield.Also sells drugs that soldiers can use to improve skill on the battlefield.
 * Turrets:Anti Air,Anti Infantry,or Anti Armor turrets.

Combat Advantage

 * 1) Provides UNSC a base of operations to fight from.
 * 2) Provides a place for UNSC players to resupply,train,and gain money.

=The Covenant= At first, the Covenant were only a loose non-aggression pact of two races held together by a common need to avoid mutually assured destruction; but, as their society advanced, so did their technology, culture, and religion.The Covenant control a large part of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Their society had evolved into a complicated caste system, with the Prophets governing the Covenant, and the Elites left in charge of the military. The Covenant was a theocracy, based on prophecies about the Sacred rings and The Great Journey. The primary belief of the Covenant was that the Halos will allow them passage into the "Divine Beyond", where they might join the Forerunners as gods, those who did not believe in the Great Journey would be left behind to die by the power of the Halo rings.

Glassing Planets
Covenant way to reduce a human planet to rubble
 * Requirements:1 fleet of Covenant ships
 * Step 1:Fleet Commander must divide planet into a grid
 * Step 2:Fleet Commander assigns ship to planet grid square to glass
 * Step 3:Fire weaponry(Plasma,Pulse lasers) to the planet until is read as glassed(10 minutes total)

Combat Advantage:Renders planet unusable for a long period of time,disallowing Humans a base of operations for a while(3 hours).

Negatives:If a planet has Forerunner artifacts and are destroyed,Fleet Commander and ship commanders lose a noteworthy amount of EXP for destroying holy artifacts. This requires commanders to pay attention to the Luminary for artifacts.

The Flood and Sentinels
On the various Halos and the Ark, the Flood and Sentinels battle for supremacy. Flood are constant enemies and will attack you on sight. Sentinels can be programmed to either be allied or hostile to your faction. To do this, players must find the Sentinel Constructor Factory and program them to their side. Sentinels can be reprogrammed if the Factory is captured.

Flood Forms

 * Infection Forms-the most basic and simple Flood form,attacks by latching onto and turning players into Combat Forms or Carriers if the player suffers too much damage.
 * Combat Forms-The husks of dead players infected by Infection Forms. Can use various weapons,vehicles or their mutated limbs to attack.
 * Carrier Forms-Large flood forms of highly injured or weak players, used as a incubator for Infection Forms. Attacks by detonating, hopefully allowing their infection forms to take over other players.
 * Pure Forms-Flood forms of pure biomass. They can transform into Stalker,Tank or Ranged Forms. Highly deadly and only seen in advanced Flood infections.
 * Juggernaut Form-Very tall and deadly Pure Forms. Last of the Flood combat forms, Juggernauts can deal massive damage and take many hits.
 * Brain Form/Proto-Gravemind-A very rare form of flood, Brain forms control small hordes of Flood. Players who are of high rank(Typically an officer rank) are turned into Brain Forms due to their combat knowledge. Flood hordes under a Brain Forms command can effectively use weapons and vehicles, and if necessary spread through the galaxy if ships are captured.
 * Gravemind-The final step of Flood Infection,the Gravemind is the central flood intelligence in the galaxy. Only one can be active, however they are elusive forms. Flood under the control of a Gravemind are the most dangerous threat, being capable of controlling planets and defeating fleets and armies of players.

Sentinels

 * Sentinel-The standard of the Sentinel forces, they are armed with a low grade beam and energy shield. In numbers they can control Flood outbreaks until stronger forms arise.
 * Sentinel Major-Upgraded Sentinels, their shields and beams have been increased for better performance. They are used to contain large outbreaks,such as the one on Installation 05.
 * Enforcer-Large Sentinel automatons designed for large scale Flood outbreaks. Equipped with a powerful forward shield, a forerunner needler like weapon, and a grenade launcher, Enforcers are large threats to any player or NPC who encounters them.
 * Catapracht(Aka Onyx Sentinel)-The most powerful Sentinels, the Cataprachts are only seen guarding Forerunner shield worlds,such as Onyx. They are equipped with the best shields and weapons, capable of blocking a missile and piercing ship plating. They can form together to increase their power, making them threats to ships as well.
