No, I knew those things.
For someone who says I’m full of myself, you condescend a lot.
Anyway, I’m done with you, I really enjoy this ignore feature. Wheat, chaff, etc.
Probably in the Future, but I would probably disable it I don’t want to be vulnerable in the match
I think there fine they should just bring them back (also bring back duel wielding)
God i wish, assassinations were as fine as they were, they were pretty short, lasting a total of 3 seconds in halo 5. “Slow down gameplay” my -Yoink!-

I wasn’t acting like you didn’t know this.
I figured that it would be best to explain how it could work to make a Ninja armor core to match the Samurai armor core form the Tenrai Fractureverse.

You sound like you’re talking about yourself to be honest.
If a ninja core happens, it ought to be like Rakshasa. Though I’d rather it be an insurgent thing, given Ninja were not of the “Noble” class Samurai were. Far as I recall they were common folk by comparison so it’d make lots of sense for them to be insurgent-aligned.
They were indeed common folk, but there were more along the lines of mercenaries that would broker deals. Insurgents tend to be anti-government rebels of some degree, whereas Ninja just wanted to have a semblance of order in their region so their farming crops wouldn’t be trampled or burned. And the best way to do that is to make deals that make the war leave the region as fast as possible.
You are marching through these lands and wish to know of a path that you can take to out-flank an army you are marching towards? Pay we Ninja enough Yen and we can point the way. The faster you get to that rival army, the faster I can get back to farming.
You seek to enter a castle fortress that holds a rival Daimyo that you seek to usurp? Sure we can be paid to sneak in and open the gate for you. The faster this siege is done, the less your soldiers eat my crops!
You also want us to assassinate the Daimyo’s guards and knock him out so you can personally kill him and declare yourself mighty? That would cost extra Yen.
But be wary.
Most Ninja clans were not known for their loyalty. A friend today could be tomorrow’s assassin if a rival clan paid your ninja a more handsome wage to betray you. Or if they thought that you were not as powerful as you once claimed and they decide to side with a more powerful clan.
Which is why I really like Hattori Hanzō. Sure he was born a Samurai Warrior, but he eventually became the leader of a Ninja Clan. Which is probably why his strength of loyalty was greater than most.
I know what insurgents are, lol.
Rambo, please, you don’t have to regale me with Japanese history lessons. My parents both took Japanese in college, we had foreign exchange students who were friends and basically extended family and like, I did plenty of my own studies. One of my best friends is half Japanese, half Chinese.
I beg you, please, don’t blare with the history lessons, lol. it isn’t necessary. You’re talking to someone who basically had partial Japanese raising.
I dunno your background.
If I did that would make me a stalker. And the only Stalker stuff I do is in Pripyat and Chernobyl on my PC… and Metro 2033 stuff.
Fair fair. Just as well to note my wife is Filipino, as well! I am pretty constantly immersed in Asian things, politics and musings. I’m good on history lessons, promise!
I just think a Ninja core is… kind of a strange fit. I’m more curious to know if Marines are called Ashigaru or something.
It does make me wonder… the descritpiion of Halo 5 Guardians’ “Shinobi” Armor Set…
Helmet
“The SHINOBI core systems remain cryptic “black boxes” to UNSC analysts, despite ONI’s successes in integrating the SHINOBI helmet with standard GEN2 Mjolnir techsuits and Spartan neural interfaces.”
Body
“Discovered aboard a derelict freighter in Lacaille 9352, SHINOBI armor has no known manufacturer or intended user. ONI continues to probe the recovered suits to unlock what appears to be several levels of restricted functionality.”
From the sounds of things, this might be an attempt at making an alt-universe armor core waaaaaay back in 2015. Because MJOLNIR is ONI top secret and this MJOLNIR-Like armor has no recognizable manufacturer and is able to be tweaked with some engineering finesse to make it MJOLNIR compatible.
Perhaps this is truly the first Fractures armor thing someone at 343 had made before the studio actually settled on doing multi-verse fractures as a legitimate multiplayer canon thing?
shrug Maybe. Back then, they were just doing cool stuff for the sake of it. Now they have ideas.
As we all know… from Tim Minchin’s youtube song “Prejudice”…
“only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja”
Assassinations would be really fun for the new last spartan standing mode considering that theres no motion tracker and active camo drops a bunch
