Locust on Strike for Inclusion in ODST - ''The Lockout Weely''


Word just got out today that the Locust, the ONLY Covenant vehicle introduced newly in Halo Wars, is going on strike until it's inclusion in Halo 3: ODST. It has strictly refused to fight and will not obey the player's commands when they attempt to move it around the map. They will not ever go to the proper rally points, much to the frustration of the Heroic player about to launch his final assault on an enemy base. Ensemble employees have attempted to coax it with bribes of upgrades in DLC, but it claims that only inclusion in what it (to the offense of many an Ensemble employee) calls a 'real' Halo game, the nearest one being ODST. It was about to be persuaded with a cameo in a cutscene by Bungie, when Jason Jones joined the party and said (quote) "What the -blam!- is that -blam!- -blam!- little freaky crawling Banshee thing with the -blam!- on top and the four -blam!- underneath!"

This ended negotiations.

Currently the UNSC are overjoyed that the Covenant's most cost efficient (for these hard financial times) building killer unit is on strike, and are trying as hard as they can to insult it so as to stop any agreements. Master Chief even found a way to enter a custom game and taunt it with the fact that it has no -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, SMG, -blam!-, or Gravity Drive so it doesn't even look like the Covenant Vehicles.

More on this later, but for now, this is Rtan 'Sansee signing out.

Omega Squad Report 8: Large Kittens with Nailguns are NOT in High Demand

Says me, your favorite Unggoy. Pancho here. You've missed me, right?

....



You're lucky I can't use an Energy Sword.





Anyway, as you probably know, the Human-Covenant War's long over and we've gone home to our normal lives... sorta. We've recently created the Union of Nations and Specific Civilizations, otherwise known as the UNSC, and so far us Unggoys, the Kig-Yars with their large shields and Type-25 Pistols, the Lekgolos and their Mgalekgolo infantry, and the Yanme'es with their wings and all have joined up with the Humans and Sangheilis.








However, it's not all fun and games out here in the galaxy. The URF, otherwise known as the malevolent United Rebel Frotn is as persistant and irritating as ever, striking at the UNSC (United Nation Space Command) and the UNSC (Union of Nations and Specific Civilizations) with little, if any relent to their counter-attacks. Right now, though, the Sangheilis have sent a legion of Special Operation Officers to neutralize the threat, so I don't think we'll be hearing from then for a while.





However, that's not why this is here. The denizens of Doisac, the ruthless, barbaric Jiralhanaes, have created a rival faction, The Devout Remants, and they've so far been nothing more than a pain in the ***. It didn't become a big deal until the International Trade Agreement of 2553, where we had agreed to a trade agreement between Earth, Sanghelios, and Balaho, with the Kig-Yars, Mgalekgolos, and Yanme'es going to the nearest planets to set up trade outposts in them. Therefore, we all prospered. This wasn't such a big deal until the Second Battle of Balaho, where the Jiralhanaes descended upon one of our prominant trade outposts and decimated it.




We, of course, repelled the invaders as we are one of the most superior fighters in the galaxy, but the economy was severely crippled. Since then, the Jiralhanes have waged a guerrilla war on our trade routes until the UNSC, the UNSC, and the Sangheilis were forced to intervene.


Since then, the battles have been waged from the scarred planets of Reach and Harvest, the tranquil worlds of Balaho and Sanghelios, and their festering hive of Doisac. The void of space is now strewn with debris and corpses alike as we fight against the nasty brutes, though holding a guresome stalemate.







So, remember this. The next time you travel to Sanghelios, keep your weapon loaded and watch out for rogue Banshees. Those Jiralhanaes have no sense of courtesy.





This is Pancho, and I hope you heed my advice.

Omega Squad Report 7: OMG 7!!!


OMG 7!!!

Ok, this is a letter from the editor, Hando Elita Kazaru. I know what you're thinking. You're wondering why there's an editor, am I right? Well, I'm here mainly to make sure that things are following. For instance, if we need to go on a hiatus or celebrate a sevenversity, such as today, then I'll pop in.

You're probably wondering why 7 is such a big deal, right? Well, in case you didn't know, 7 is one of the numbers used constantly in the Haloverse. As such, 7 is a time of prosperity, celebration, and other 7 related material.

Now, to finish up, since the material I will post will eat up most of your time, I will show you 7 YouTube Halo vids in celebration for this monumentous event.
