Noble team only lasts the first 2 rounds.
If the info given by MM was correct, the weapons of Noble team won’t fair any better than MC’s weapon’s or Arby’s.

This is a stomp. If they had air support. . .

Hey! I had first post! Where is it?

Orphues already said it. Once the 3rd round hits their done even with the gay ass impenetrable doors rule. They can just come in through the floor or ceiling.

Is it me, or does every one of my Zombie Gauntlets are rolfstomps?

@ Mr. Gray
You should be ashamed of yourself, halo reach hasn’t even came out yet and yet the protagonists already rolfstomped, before they could make an epic appearance.
lmao
Not a good month for halo is it.
lol

What happened to you FactPilers? Are you kidding me?
Noble Team stomps here! They will hardly take a scratch! What idiots.

@ Orpheus. Oh yeah, for sure not a good month for Halo. You can go tell that to Bungie, who will be bathing and wiping their butts with money very soon while over a million copies of their game is sold.

Poor Noble Team, first match and they get pwnt by the third wave.

Yes, but in this scenario they have no access to air support and thus they lose.

read the books or watch haloid. the abilties of the SPARTAN3s are well described.

Yes, because a fan made video is a perfect judge of a character’s capabilities. If your weapons don’t do jack against the Xenos, you’re screwed regardless.

“read the books or watch haloid. the abilties of the SPARTAN3s are well described”

Seriously?? HALOID!?! Don’t even bring that load of extreme fan wank crap into this. No Spartan is that good and Samus would vaporize Master Chief with her first shot.

So…. poop on you.

“Isn’t modern weaponry effective against Xenomorphs?”

Drones only, Warriors and above will require heavier weaponry have Noble doesn’t have.

“Oh, and unlimited ammo shotguns? Really Admin?”

I’m 99% sure he based this off an infection custom game on halo.

@Sangheli
Not to be rude of some sort but I only put that because the in game you are only allowed 30 shells and if they only had 30 shells, they’ll be screwed since thats only 30 confirmed kills, excluding the possibility of missing.

@Mr. Gray-Too bad a warrior’s exoskeleton literally makes shooting them with a shotty like bouncing a rubber ball off concrete pavement.

And Darkx wrapped this one up pretty well. Your on a roll today.

…An anti-tank weapon isn’t enough for a warrior?

Can you cite this?

I don’t think they will last to long. Except George. He is a pretty cool guy, he fires guns and doesn’t afraid of anything.

The Noble Team gets killed by the 1st wave.
Poor Noble team could not even stand the First wave.

@Beli-Anti-Tank weapons are overkill against a Xeno Warrior however hitting them is the key. Xeno’s are proven bullet-timers and once they see one get iced by a rocket they tend to move out the way after another is fired. Shrapnel is a non-factor. They also have the ability to communicate over long distances due to telepathy/biological connection and learn from others experiences. Thus after the first wave runs into the turrets the next one will avoid those and find a new way in. Once they find a new way in its pretty much over after that since noble teams weapons save the sniper rifle and the rockets are pretty much useless against them. Like I said give them the superior USCMC weaponry and the knowledge to use them, change the location, and some more strains, and up the wave numbers to make things more interesting.

@the_man-If you want to start reading about them I suggest starting from the building and work your way up. Start off with the novels Aliens: Earth Hive, Aliens: Nightmare Asylum, and Aliens: Female War. Those three books will totally change your perception of these creatures and give you loads of backstory on them. And its all canon and coincides with the Alien timeline.

“That game sucked so many donkey balls compared to the perfection the was its predecessors.”

I know I took my copy back and just installed AVP 2 and played that instead

Its a simple formula
Alien > Pred > Marine in Melee
Marine > Pred > Alien in Ranged

NOT

Pred >> alien > Marine in Melee
Pred >>> Marine >> Alien in Ranged

Exactly. The marine is always supposed to have the superior firepower followed by the Predator. Instead they took most of the Marines good guns like the minigun, the grenade launcher, and other and nerfed the weapons he does have to the point it take 20 bullets from the main weapon to drop a xeno. Then they make it so the only way to successfully spot the Predator was right when he’s about to kill you. The camo was to good to point where you needed specific guns to find the fucker the best being the smart gun. Then they made it so its practically impossible to dodge predator weapons. The only saving grace of the game was stealth kills. The game could have been so much more. I guess none of them will match up with 1 and 2 1 being the best in my opinion.

Here’s to Aliens: Colonial Marines being good which does look great but looks can be deceiving. Example in point being AVP3.

@Darkx-Sounds good. Be specific about the loadout though since there are multiple weapons of the same type they can have.

“They have 3 lives each and can sacrifice.”

………..What the hell?

“Have basic knowledge on all the weapons available and aliens.”

Oh that’s fair.

“The time between each wave is 20 min.
The team can choose their drops, 3 explosive weapons with max ammo. 6 long range weapons. 8 med kits, and 1 random weapon. They can be plasma or ballistic. Fresh armor peices can be chosen instead of an explosive weapon.”

Ok, this is going a tad too far.

“There are several turrets, they can be detached and respawn after every wave.
Doors can be barricaded but only the inside, and it is impenetrable by the Aliens.”

What? They get to have freaking respawns, effectively infinite weapons and an impenetrable base versus and they have prior knowledge of the xenomorphs even to the point of knowing to use electromagnetic visors which when I checked the Halo universe doesn’t have, yet I suspect if they did somehow they’d magically be set to just the right way to pick up xenomorphs.

This isn’t a match, it’s freaking fanwank. It’s game mechanics versus the aliens. Respawn timers, weapon drops (shouldn’t that count as outside help?) and the ability to pick and choose weapons even if they chose covenant weapons that they wouldn’t have access too? To top it off they have some magical impenetrable building to camp in?

It is possible that they are in a FR structure.

upon looking at scenarios like this it shows me that the Mobile infantry(starship troopers) sucks balls.

their armor is shit a best, its not bulletproof(why would it need to be), but its also not shrapnel proof, and doesnt provide any protection from bug spines, or other bug attacks or projectiles.

support is shit. the naval forces dropships drop them off on distant planets and go back into orbit, but the shit radios dont have that kind of range, without an outpost. there are no field medics…ijust watched a guy scream for like 10 mins over a wound that was only fatal if untreated(he died). No LMGs .

They have bombers proven by the first movie, but theyd rather send 100,000s of soldiers to die every invasion. no heavy ground vehicles, not troop transport, no artillery.

oh and speaking of outposts. who the f%^& builds ONE outpost on and entire planet of hostile swarm creatures? the should build large city sized compounds made up of interim outpost with a safe zone in the middle. all completely shut in and heavily fortified.

but how did they build the one outpost? they used obital bombard to gaurd the construction crews……………..your probably saying WTF? why dont they support the troops like this as well….answer stupidity.

theres finally a military that sucks more ass the the Federation on star trek, and the UNSC(who only suck because of shit weapons).

So admin what’s good with the FP Award for team xeno?

well, the thing i’m seeing most is that the gel layer, shields, and armor ( be it mjolnir or SPI) are being completely ignored. i mean, it’s all there to deflect even as much as an armor piercing round. no doubt noble loses at the very least to predalien, not to even mention the queen, but heck, throw ‘em a bone guys. i say they crush skulls until wave 4, then hav 2 use a life or 2 to kill the predalien and lose the rest on wave 5

“This isn’t a match, it’s freaking fanwank. It’s game mechanics versus the aliens.

and yet Noble team STILL LOSES!!!………………funny how life works out like that huh

@the_man-Well they win some they lose some. We just have to find something that’s more on their level. On a side note check out the Halo Reach edition 360

http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-xbox-360-250gb-limited-edition-halo-reach-bundle-revealed/

Looks badass so I’m definitely getting it.

@MEGADOOMER-In AvP1 and 4 they do have a fire fight mode with 1s being the best and its the most badass one I played so far in my gaming career. There’s this one level called Stranded where there’s a predator ship at the end of the map. If you can make it there with your buddies you can close it up and shoot everything on the outside via gun ports. However those gun ports also allow aliens access to the ship. And its dark as hell when playing as the Marine but then you have the best guns so the highest likely hood of making it for awhile till someone gets sloppy.

-Annoying Question Alert-
By the way, how does a Predator manage to do that? It confused me even more in the new Pred movie when the Berserker just stuck his hand into the inmate’s back and ripped out the spine and skull. Some how minus the lower jay and eyes.

What the balls was that?!

“By the way, how does a Predator manage to do that? It confused me even more in the new Pred movie when the Berserker just stuck his hand into the inmate’s back and ripped out the spine and skull. Some how minus the lower jaw and eyes.”

They get Rebellion to make AVP3

A 7.62x51mm AP round would definitely be enough if a 10x24mm APE could kill one.

Modern rounds are good against nearly a centimeter of steel plate at 300 meters and there is no apparent evidence that a xenomorph warrior is as well armored as an APC.

Well…they do have Gauss Rifle tech for the battle rifles.

This does imply greater penetration, if not greater stopping power.

The evidence in this is that shotgun blasts and even bullets from the main rifle bounces off their carapace. They say that shooting a xeno warrior with anything less then a pulse rifle is the equivalent of bouncing a rubber ball of of concrete sidewalk. Even the pulse rifle bullets tend to ricochet off of the carapace. Then there the fact that anti-tank plasma rifle blasts splash off their carapace and at close range with enough to kill the user. That means their carapace have more durability then colonial marine battle armour(which is made from titanium). The only real reason why Pulse Rifle rounds pierce the carapace is because of the high explosive tips. Any other rounds loaded into the pulse rifle are ineffective.

Then there the strength aspect of the xenos. An adult xeno warrior is described as 25 times stronger then a combat synth. A combat synth has a lifting capacity of 2,400lbs. I’ll let you do the math.

Then there’s speed. An adult xeno warrior has the foot speed to keep up with an APC. An APC has a top speed of 55 mph.

Then there’s intelligence to account for. A xeno is as smart as its queen is. A queen has an IQ of 275. They learn at a rate that’s comparable to human beings. And they have the ability to transfer this knowledge to the rest of the collective via the three Empresses who’s telekinetic/ biological communication span galaxies. That means by the time the second wave hits they would have intimate knowledge of Noble Teams defenses as seen through the deaths of the previous horde thus they will discover a new way in. Once that happens its pretty much over.

And last we have senses. There is simply no where for noble team to hide. The xenos will know where they are located at all times due to extreme senses. They can literally hear your hand moving in a slow arc. The only reason why Newt wasn’t caught was because her hiding space was too small for the xenos to get to.

All in all Noble Team won’t last too long. They shouldn’t be ashamed though. They just had the bad luck of being put against a Perfectly designed killing machine. So them fighting is futile. No one escapes the Black Warrior.

@Midnite

Erm..Sources?

@Midnite

Please do, I just finished making popcorn.

I do believe that 7.62mm NATO AP rounds count as millitary grade weapons.

Also, what kind of weapon did “Janna” have?

Finally, plasma works against Xenomorphs (infact, in Aliens, Ridley infiltrates the central hive with a flamethrower and somehow avoided having two praetorians chase her after torching the eggs. A weakness to heat?) Plasma weapons are an option here.

1. Proof because mine says it doesn’t.
2. Janna was being kidnapped. As for the weapon its unknown likely a handgun of some type.
3. There were no Praetorians in that movie. A Praetorian is a 9 foot tall killing machine who requires literal anti-tank weapons to bring down. Anything less pisses it off. If there were praetorians in that movie Ripley would not have made it. Those 2 were warriors the rest were drones. As for weakness to heat not necessarily. Xenos(like most animals) have a fear of fire. But thats a primal instinct though. The plasma weapons available to Team Noble don’t have the necessary output to be effective. The Warrior was shot at point blank range with an anti-tank plasma rifle and the plasma splashed. Note this thing can take out a drop ship in one shot.

All in all Team Noble won’t make it past the 3rd wave. And if by some miracle they do they won’t survive the 4th. And its funny since this match description sounds like its almost tailor made for Noble Teams victory like Zervziel said. Indestructible doors, unlimited ammo, supply drops, access to any weapon they do desire, shotguns you don’t have to load, and respawning turrets? Mr. Gray you should be ashamed of yourself.

However it should be noted that the xenos only have one true weakness and that’s their eggs. A queen would and has sent 100 warriors to die for one egg. You control the fate of the eggs and the queen and you can control the xenos. However that weakness is off-set by one major advantage.

@Sparks

Lol + your Gravatar made me laugh all that harder when you posted that

@MM

Have you SEEN what kind of output L-W has determined for the plasma rifle?
I swear it’s absurd but I’ve got no ground to argue it.

Rifles, as a rule, are atleast three or four times the power of a pistol. For example, the .45 ACP generates about 450 J of energy. An assault rifle round, such as the 5.56x45mm NATO, generates about 1500 Joules. A full power rifle round, such as the 7.62x51mm NATO, generates 3500 Joules of energy. I fully expect a pistol round to bounce off a foe, but a rifle round packs a bit more of a punch.

Also, if they weren’t praetorians, why didn’t they just sneak in behind Ridley, especially if the queen is so smart. Additionally, if those weren’t the praetorians, where were they? Where they still molting from Warriors? Hadn’t they been selected by then? Aren’t they required to mate with the queen in order to start the egg laying process?

…I’m ignorant and confused now…

So admin how about that FP Award?
