Howdy everyone! Stumbled upon this gem of a forum when I was attempting to find some good spots to find people who may be interested in joining our new group, Halo: Universe. Yes, this is a Clan - but hear us out, because it’s a clan unlike any we’ve seen before.
Our goal for Halo: Universe is to make Halo: Reach, Halo 3, the upcoming Halo 4, and possibly Halo: CE on the computer an even better experience than it already is. How are we doing this? Creativity.
You see, there’s one thing that Halo: Reach, Halo 3, and Halo: CE never had - a story. To the multiplayer, that is. You make your character how you want him, and you send him into the battlefield under your control to fight the enemy team. But why? Why is your character fighting the red/blue team?
We’re taking Halo, and we’re adding some RPG-styled elements to it. I won’t go into a very long description here, but in short, you get to make your character, you can give them an optional backstory of however much detail you wish for it to have, and you fight for an actual cause this time.
The story of Halo: Universe is not canon to the games/books/graphic novels/movie. It’s our own story and it will be shaped more and more as more members are added and more matches are played. Eventually there will be big community events - for example, a big team battle match where the team bans together to fight off the enemy - that will help to shape the story, too. Like chapters, you could say.
Don’t get me wrong, though. You’re not expected to act as your character in parties or anything like that, your just giving them a backstory for the fun of it. Also, canon characters can be used so long as you have the correct armor. For instance, if you’re going to play as Kat, you must have Kat’s armor. There are exceptions to that rule, but the helmets must always be the same. Like, you can’t go changing Emile’s helmet to a normal EVA helmet, it has to have the skull, haha.
Overall we’re a very friendly bunch, and the moderators are getting ready to start recruiting and helping everyone. If you want to join, here’s the link to our website:
