About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.
But really am sweet at heart. =)
Okay, so we all know if you had a fair grasp on tactical street fighting and lots of guns that anybody could survive the Covenant patrols in ODST...from the comfort of your own home. But how long do you think you could last as a regular civilian with little to no military training?
I've devised a few general kinds of civilian you will be. You must pick what back round you come from. They each have their own advantages. From that you make up your own story of yourself in New Mombossa. But please no, "I would go to an armory and lazor everyone" This is assuming your just a REGULAR civilian. I will just outline the basic "Class" of civilian you will start out as...just to avoid the classic "I would go to the armory and get a BR and shoot everyone then get ODST armor and halp Master Chief" Again I will say. if you were a REGULAR civilian. I highly doubt any normal person would know the existance of a Spartan II, or the location of the ONI Alpha Site, or any UNSC armories.
Random Civilian A: You are an office worker for Traxus when Regret's ship enters Slipspace. You are in a parking ramp hiding. It colapses, but you are safe, but have a sprained ankle. You were beforehand however armed by an MP. It is just a simple M6G. Covenant patrols in your area are relatively light for the first two hours after the jump.
Random Civilian B: You are in your apartment and out of work. You are a retired policeman with a reasonable supply of firearms. Including a Shotgun, MA5, and M6D:Halo 1 pistol. The area around you is swarming with Covenant from Regret's ship that didn't make it the the carrier. So you will have to be careful about using those weapons.
Random Civilian C: You are a student from New Mombossa College. When the Covenant showed up people were ushered into bunkers, you were one of the unlucky ones. You are also unarmed. Covenant patrols are medium in your area, you have a multitool with screwdriver, knife, etc. You can improvise weapons from random things in houses, buildings etc. (if you choose this you CAN'T improvise anything TOO extreame" I'm talking MacGyver kind of stuff he can make. Like a tripwire that sets of flashbangs to disable some grunts long enough to knock them out and take their weapons.
Also, the Covenant and Human weapons aren't like in the game, remember you guys aren't wearing shields or armor. Needlers were explode from one shot, if they don't you've still got a 2 foot long thing inside your torso. Plasma will melt things, not just stop vehicles.
Okay then. Thanks for reading, and good luck surviving guys.
