Well in my house we have a panic room sooo.... Panic leads to the room. We have about 6 months supplys of food so that'd be okay and we have meds, so that good. But, weapons... I dunno.. A spork and a baseball bat won't do any good I suppose haha..

Random Civilian B

Since I had the Shotgun, I would camp at the door to my apartment until my Shotgun ran out of ammo. Then I would take ordinary household items to block the door so the Covenant can not go in. If all else fails I will jump out the window of my appartment hoping to land in a garbage truck and live, And if I live in a garbage truck I will hope to find a broken kitchen knife to kill Covenant with If not, Im screwed and I will just kill myself by drowning or getting ran over by the Garbage Truck.

That is why I would choose the College Student. Yes he is not well armed, but you can improvise and move fast, but carefully. You may be able to kill a careless Grunt and grab his plasma pistol. Also by being a college student he is young so it would be easier to move out of the city because you are probably in the best of shape. You don't need a weapon to survive you just need faith in yourself.
You scenario is highly implausible Running Riot. Even with make shift weapons as the scenario allows you a regular civilian wouldn't even be a match for a grunt as one shot from the plasma pistol would sear you beyond recognition. Plus you are neglecting the facts that Unggoy have a pack mentality and the chances of you coming across a lone Grunt is highly unlikely. Not to mention that fact that there are medium Covenant patrols in your area so even if you managed to grab plasma grenades and a plasma pistol off a grunt you'd be dead the second you ran into a ghost, chopper, elite, jackel, hunter or brute. Lastly you said you'd try to move out the city (I'm assuming on foot) which would mean you'd have to move from building to building in a medium patrolled area further decreasing your chances of not getting massacred. Overall, you didn't think your scenario out very carefully and there would be a high probability that it would cost you your life.

I chose me. I'm so dang paranoid I know how to beserk and would beat down the grunts with a spoon if I had to. I would take this huge bucher knife thats in my mom's (I'm 13) house Kill a grunt take his ammo, guns, gernades, and his methane pack and use it to kill a brute and a few grunts take the stuff they had, set up a perimiter and try to find a survivor. Oh and I would only venture out to find food, people, and anything that can fix up a wound.

The trick to living in that enfiornment is to be heartless as to discribe in detail what shooting someone in the head would look like but also be able to discribe something sweet, lovely and err... the only discription I could think of is frolicing in a flower garden with butterflies (I don't Know! I couldn't think of another explanation!). Pretty much to have to regret for what you do but stay sane while you watch your self killing the enimey.

... I'm all out of Ideas. (I'm not going to read the replys to this)


I think a grunt could take a 13 year old. lol

I'd choose Civilian C.

Mainly because I can improvise my surroundings to my own use. Depends on the area I am, it really does, I could use some way to contact my friends, and everybody around to try and rende-vouz.

In a group, we would have much higher chance of survival, although stealth is kinda out of the question, some civilians armed with knifes, common sense, and stealth, I think we would have a chance against a patrol of grunts, and maybe an elite. Traps would be a big element of it, and some information about the enemy, like per example: watching their patrol routes and how often they switch so that we would have a chance against them, arm ourselves and now we have a decent firefight chance. and slowly, step by step work our way up.

That's why I'd rather be an ODST. :)


Bah ODST are pansies. We used to plasma stick them for their BR remember. I'd definetly be Civilian A. I would try to get as far as i can and use the pansy ODST as distractions, so while they get wrecked i can run. If i was to get caught i shoot for the grunts first knowing i could kill some of them. And if i died i would know i stopped a grunt birthday party from happening.

  • 07.20.2009 1:27 AM PDT

Civilian C.

Just sneak out of my apartment and make my way to a nearby sewer or storm water way and just follow it until I get out of the city.

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.

You guys never played L4D? this is like a clone of Louis
Definately this guy, just ninja my way out of the city, probs using the sewers. A sprained ancle is no big prob, just rip of my tie (?) and splint it to something. Piece of piss. avoid the covie patrols and get the hell out of the city sharpish, and try 2 meet up with the UNSC etc.

Hmm... I would probably hide somewhere, possibly in the sewers. I wouldn't suicide, the Covie's arn't that scary (Now if Aliens came true that's a different story!) It also depends on how much the Covie's searched the city.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Well Id start running out of the city as soon as it started raining burning corpses. Id also call my friends (while running of coarse) and recommend that they do the same. So yeah, I think Id survive, since Id have left the city before they made landfall.

I'd survive the war, i'll go Rambo!

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

This account was hacked and I now have a new account.

I don't know. I think your best bet would be to hide though.

Me gusta

Well once i herd the Covenant attacked the Earth i would join the military if i wasn't already in it.

  • 07.20.2009 5:36 AM PDT

Civilian B. I would use my pistol to shoot grunts, and then when the Covenant started really attacking, I would use it to shoot my head.

  • 07.23.2009 9:55 PM PDT

J-H

I love the fact that everyone thinks they could just kill grunts and brutes...Grunts are roughly 5 feet tall so aren't exactly push overs...and Brutes are probably around 8 feet tall (considering an Elite is 8' 6" and a Brute is just a bit smaller than an Elite). Also Brutes have been known to survive getting hit by Warthogs and immense amounts of firepower...You would be well and truly buggered. I personally would attempt to run or hide...fighting would be suicide.

  • 07.23.2009 10:04 PM PDT

FEET FIRST INTO HELL

i would say c, just because he's like me, realisticly, I would proably stick to the shadows and kill a grunt for it's weapon and try to find other humans and form a resictance.

  • 07.23.2009 10:08 PM PDT

Loose talk is noose talk.

As civilian B, I can see my chances of survival improved. Naturally, I'd team up with survivors and hold out as long as I can. Together, we'd try to sneak out of the ruins of New Mombassa, scavenging wherever we go. Once we're a reasonable distance away from the Ruins, we'd try and link up with the main UNSC military presence in the area, if one remains.

  • 07.23.2009 10:16 PM PDT

Every time you say something is old your dick shrinks.

mean while in gamestop...
brute: what ya playin?
Me: Halo3 odst
brute: cool can i try?
me:sure
brute so what do we do?
me:kill brutes....

  • 07.23.2009 10:55 PM PDT

Civilian B: I stealthly make my way down to the main area of my apartment with my weapons. After Observig the covanent guard, I decide to use a match to light a small piece of wood on fire and throw several yards into a pile pf debris disstracting the guard so that I can get out and make my way to the police car in the garage. I arrive at my car and attempt to contact the local ODST and marines for assistance I quickly tell my location jst before plasma burst destory my radio. I take cover and return fire to the small group of grunts. After killing them I watch debris fly as a Brute wielding a hammer comes int o site... to be continued

Pure Appocalypse

Me, I would likely be screwed no matter which Scenarion i choose. A civilian stands no chance we d S@#t our selves and then the grunts would sniff us out and kill us. and assuming we band together to make our escape we probably get slaged by Phantom. EPIC FAIL

Oh I don't know,2 maybe 3 seconds give or take.But that would be me not the one's you have there.Anyway I would probably last longer with B.
