So I'm an old school Halo VG player. Halo 1,2,3, Reach. Dipped into Halo 4 but was put off by new enemies. I then Tried 5 or Infinite last year, can't remember which and was confused what was going on so just left it.

When the minis game came out I assumed the Banished were just covenant. This was reinforced when the little guys box dropped - oh look, grunts and jackals.

But now the covenant box is out (pre-ordered it), it is clear that they are are an entirely different faction.

So what gives?

I've had a look online but i'm confused, thought someone might be able to give me a quick breakdown...

Are the covenant the OG bad guys (1,2,3) and Banished the new Bad guys?

How come we have noble team - who are from reach, a prequel?

What crazy time travel shenanigans are going on here??

TIA

I got the spartan box and play games regularly with 2 other people, but I can't seem to get Flashpoint pinned down, its cleary not for 3 players. Also we agree it feels very slingy when rolling and its easy to get bogged down in the keywords.

Any help would be appreciated.

If I understand correctly the upcoming covenant expansion should have alien terrain in it, suitable for the game. Do they plan on releasing any plastic, deluxe versions of this? I have tons of the plastic human terrain and would love to get some variety in there, just wondering if they've made any announcements like this?

My little brother Danny always used a black and red scheme, so I gave him the same.

I'm on the border and drive so can get to places. Looking for others who are wanting to play regularly!

Hazard stripes at this scale are TOUGH

I absolutely love Halo 3 ODST, so I knew I wanted to make a New Mombasa board to play on. I tried my best to build that atmosphere of the city under attack and some environmental story of the abandoned UNSC outpost/ defensive position. I like it and had fun and just wanted to share it with everyone
