Now, I've yet to play it, but I've heard that it's Spartans vs Covenant (which sounds awesome) attempting to protect or kill a prophet. So, before I play it, I just wanted to gather opinions on the mode down as replies, perhaps even explain how it plays, down below. It would also be nice if you could post improvement ideas for the mode down below (James checks occasionally). I'll probably be posting my own opinion once I get the opportunity to play too! 
-generic ending "thanks y'all" or "so guys we did it"

Basically the URFs bootleg version of the ODSTs. Might be cool to have these guys as a whitelist thing like ODST for events and whatnot.

After some thinking and people talking about it I've kinda thought about them being an EVA type unit for ship boarding and such, let them have a space worthy suit that can only accept emergency oxygen tanks or something. I know they can just use voidsuits but this is as good or equivalent to an ODST suit in terms of armor. I know we have the zeal suits and colossus armor, but having people trained and whitelisted to do certain things would balance the URF a bit I hope. Give them a unique role that UNSC doesn't have (yet). This idea might be stupid but a commando type unit that doesn't drop in SOIEV pod, and as far as I know the boarding pods are unable to breach ships only get outside of them. So this would be a cool way around that. Have engineer ones, CQB ones, and medics I dont know. Just some half retarded idea I came up with.

Here's some examples from arma 3 cause no official art of them so far. (thanks Adolf12)

Ckey: Cairo283


Discord name: Egg Face

In-character name: Matthew Rhinehart

general character info: If you haven't seen him around, Rhinehart is the kind of marine that likes to throw grenades, blow up doors, and be as Space-Canadian as possible while shooting innies and aliens.


Which role is your character's main(ex: Technician, Marine, etc): The dude with the battle rifle and grenades. Need a door opened? Rhinehart is your guy.

Reason for joining : Been here for a long while and feel that I've been around long enough to apply for ODST, which I'll be doing if this gets accepted. Fun server and I enjoy playing here and shooting terrorists.

Ckey: Superdead

Discord name: WickedRuse

In-character name: Garyip

general character info: Cold and unfeeling but can and will talk given that he has been on several flights with the SDV Vindicative Infraction being a major and supporting his fellow brothers and sisters of the nipple in combat and life on the ship alike given how unggoy are treated.

Reason for joining :I feel over these two and a half weeks I've had time to learn the RP atmosphere and get to know a lot of great people and I would like to move up in the ranks and maybe get to experience more in-depth mechanics of the shields and whatnot and have fun while I'm at it with fellow covvie players and at the moment very understaffed covvie ship

Roleplay Example/History: I've played on CM extensively and the same with paradise and the same with the server I'm putting this app in for I've played for about two and a half weeks now and have had a few experiences including ODST boarding parties raiding KS7 and V9 along with a all out space battle when the new ship was added


More depth with factions details IE:

Current relations with the sangheili: He still finds them very interesting to study and have apart of the crew and now finds them even more enjoyable to be around as most of them don't find him annoying or if they do they at least don't show it.

Current relations with the Jiralhanae: he still finds them utterly barbaric but he hasn't seen one in quite a while so he hasn't been able to study them much but he doesn't mind their pesky culture prevents to much interaction.

Current relations with the Mgalekgolo: He hasn't seen too many of them in his time spent on the ship but still respects them either way and still finds how unified they are a inspiration and something to go by when in combat.

Current relations with the Kig-Yar: He has met a few he didn't find utterly detestable and has felt comfort serving with them on the field but he has also met their more common kin the kind that would rather eat him then serve with him on the ship.

Current relations with the Unggoy: He finds his own kind to be enjoyable to be around like any other race would find their own kind relaxing to be around but he also doesn't quite fit in given his outlook on life and his cold attitude towards those he isn't familiar with.

Ckey: Destructo62

Discord name: destructo

In-character name: Thuk Zog

general character info: A Kig-Yar pirate who has served on multiple ships. He prefers to outsmart his enemies with tactics rather than brute strength.

Reason for joining : i have played a few rounds where the covenant showed up and it looked really fun and interesting to play as them. The covenant has also always interested me.

Roleplay Example/History: I have played a few rounds and i normally play as an Insurrectionist. I have also played on other servers such as TG


Relations with Unggoy: Thuk sees the unggoy as useful creatures that can absorb enemy fire and do basic tasks on the ship.

Relations with Jiralhanae: He dislikes the jiralhanae and sees them as nothing but a battering ram to smash the enemy.

Relations with Mgalekgolo: He finds the Mgalekgolo as a great ally.

Relations with Sangheili: Thuk sees the sangheili as great warriors tied down by their ridiculous honor code and wonders what a force they would be if they cast it away.

Ckey: Raksha Dakote

Discord name: Fennec#5651

In-character name: Vota 'Nedaamee

general character info: Vota is an honourable, young, female sangheili dedicated to the covenant and its cause, Vota prefers using the energy sword, sparring and duelling with it in her free time, Vota also always carries a spare energy sword in case she finds an unarmed soldier she wishes to duel.

Reason for joining: I have always loved sangheili, their culture, their look, their style. I love this server
and will enjoy talking about the lore with others.

Relations with Unggoy: Vota finds the unggoy cowardice as pitiful and disgraceful, she does not dislike unggoy, only the unggoy who show cowardice in the face of death.

Relations with the Jiralhanae: "Nothing more than wild beasts with no honour."

Relations with the Mgalekgolo: Vota has respect for the strong species, and their formidable fighting capabilities, though their lack of an honour code is less than preferable.

Relations with the Kig'Yar: Vota has minor respect for the Kig'Yar as soldiers, though not as strong as sangheili warriors, they can put up a decent fight in any situation.
