hello one and all. I just thought Id post these ideas. Not for halo 5 but for the lore. I will be going over maybe 3-2 factions, their weapons and vehicles.
Lost Contingency:A New faction Made up of Refugee Humans. Many in the Lost Contingency are those who fled from reach during its attacks and while on planets like earth or mars were treated as second class or lower denominators.
They are funded by a group of extremely wealthy investors who would benefit from This groups actions.
Weapons
Revolver: A powerful but inaccurate firearm. Has 8 rounds and slow shot speed.
Nailer: A Modified nailgun the nailer is cheap to manufacture and produce. It uses magnetic rounds allowing for easy shield penetration. Sadly it does little body damage and rarely kills.
Sawed-flare:A modified sawed off shot gun used to shoot flares. These flares are bright and can blind many opponents. A direct hit with one will most defiantly catch one on fire.
Smg:The SMG while used primarily with the UNSC has become a homestead in the LC. Many officers use it as a way to even out a playing field.
Flamethrower: A heavy weapon capable of burning all to ash.
SMarmer:A Rifle which has had its scope removed. The smarmer has a single shot but is powerful and can bring down even the most note worthy Spartans.
Cues:A CUe is a modified grenade that instead of thrown is rolled. instead of just blowing up like a grenade it has a built in sensor that will only blow up when a enemy comes in close. The Blast is strictly EMP and only would cause a small degree burn to tissue.
Ranks
Recruits: Low armored recruits who are equipped with Nailers’s or Revolvers.
Captains: Slightly better armored then the Recruit, captains are often retired marines who After retiring from the UNSC wanted to keep a fight going, but against slightly more even enemies. They Often use SMG’s or revolvers with Cues.
Stakes: Using stolen camo These troops use Silenced Magnums and SMG’s or even Smarmers. These troops are deadly often used to reinforce on field troops, Or to take out high level targets.
Hellmen: After the second battle of harvest many troops of the elite HellBringers were sent to asylums after becoming insane. The LC have decided to free them and give them their old equipment back. These insane, Deadly, Soldiers are sent out in pairs to eliminate Spartans or guard High risk areas Equipped with flamethrowers or Sawed-Flares.
Lost Contingency vehicles
Mongoose
Ferret:A Modified car that works like a warthog but is faster.
Vipers:Falcons salvaged from reach having their propellers replaced with large small jet engines. The Viper has 2 modes: Hover allowing it to pause in air and Jet which makes it fly much like a jet. They are often used to send in troops as they are faster then a pelican and can even provide ground support for descant amounts of time. ALso Unlike the falcon when in jet mode it has side doors which close immediately. Passengers inside can over ride a door to jump out if needed.
The Frozen Bush: A Stolen Marathon Class cruiser That was used to unite the Earth and mars Lost Contingency groups. It is now the capital of the LC
The Burning Eagle:A Stolen Destroyer class UNSC frigate That was used to unite the Earth and Mars Lost Contingency groups. It is now used as a guard to the Burning bush
Reborn:The storm has come to pass, a new dawn has arise, but the battle field will be stained by the blood it spilled. The Reborn are Whats left of the storm, now torn with many thinking that Jul’s choices arnt that of the proper covenant. They have become little more then pirates at this point but arnt dead, no, if anything they are stronger.
Weapons
Plasma Pistol
Storm Rifle
Needler

Needle Rifle: A more accurate rifle form of the Needler, Its deadly and easily one of the more feared weapons. Several hundred were salvaged from reach to help the fight. (Single shot unscoped, burst fire scoped)
Beam Rifle
Scatter Shot
Energy sword
Promethean Blade:A Longer blade then the energy sword this blade is impossible to lunge with, but can cut many things with easy.
Glimpse:A Weapon invented by DR Halsey, This Automatic has great potential using bits from Promethean and covie tech. Shooting a total of 6 modified Pulse Grenades at a time it can be deadly. The grenades planted Will only go off if crossed over but sadly will disarm if shot or blown up.
Ranks
Bulbs:Grunts are still the lowest tear, But they are far greater. Now with stronger armor and weak Hard light gauntlets. Equipped normally with Plasma Grenades and plasma Pistols
Shocks: The Higher Level Grunts Equipped with Light Shields and a blast helmet. These are often equipped with Fuel Rods and Glimpse.
Scopes: Having their old shields replaced with Strong Gauntlet hard-light shield Jackals have become more then just Pirates. Their armor improved they can now use magnetic boots to walk on walls or even ceilings allowing them to get better vantage shots. Their high ranks have been given Promethean vision. They also use needlers.
Lasos: Armed with the long range sniper weapons these jackals can tear most enemies up.
Blades: Returning to their ancient ancestors roots they have dropped all of their old weapons in use to Promethean blades (Samurai blades made of hard-light) Their higher ranks will go to battle with Hard-light shield and or Scatter shot.
Vehicles
Scythe: A modified wraith given more armor and has the ability to thrust upward to allow it the ability to scale cliff sides with the hope of making placement easier.
Pitch: A dark banshee modified with the ghost’s powerful engine allowing for mid air hover as well as more controlled flying. Sadly its fuel cannon had to be removed to support the extra weight. It can also switch modes, detracting the wings to allow for on ground combat.
Shallow’s: A small group of human/alien protesters who believe that Oni sould be abolished. Many of their leader are ex Oni officers who quit after the war seeing the behind scenes.
