Rawr - Brute Chopper

Dear CommanderTony,

Heylo! :-)

Yeah...I was speaking to GPT about the Type-25 RAV, and we both sorta agree that the two images were kinda beneficial...I don't think that they hurt. ;-)

I'll be reverting it back, but if you have a reason to remove both images, just lemme know.

Au revoir, and thanks so much!

Link to vid

Hey Tony! It's Elitekilla247. You wanted the link to the video? Well, here it is:

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=lovebungie

Go to the very bottom of this page and right click on "brute chopper" and save as. All it is really is a render taken in the development room and you can drag the picture to see the surroundings, hence how I found the banshee (to tell you the truth, I didn't find the phantom, but I did find the banshee.) You will need Quicktime.

See ya!

Re. Compliment

Thanks for the compliment, it's nice to be recognised. I have to say likewise to your own contributions and articles. Impressive stuff. Thanks once again, A Monument to All Your Sins 21:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

M19 SSM Poll

Er..about the launcher thing, the one from halo 1 actually states M41 on its side. They (Halo 1,2,3)actually fire pretty much the same, and they LOOK THE SAME(that's why the M19 page has a picture of the launcher from halo 2). The designation is the same. If you say that the halo 1 version is M19, then why did Bungie print M41 on its side? I found that the halo 2 manual mentions the halo 2 launcher as M19, but the halo 2 piggyback guide lists it as M41. On the Bungie forums, there is a mixup of names. Look at this forum: [1]. BobBQ actually says what I think. also look here: [2] The official designation is M41, while the name is M19(that's what they say). --Spartan781 ^Comm_CSV 10:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Rocket Launcher Debate

Dear Tony, Wasn't sure if you had read this evidence for yet so I've sent it to you. Ok, here we go. The Rocket Launcher wielded in Halo Combat Evolved according to the game manual was the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" so this name is Bungie approved. However the in game weapon model clearly shows the marking "M41 MAV/AW" printed above the "correct usage" diagram. This is the source of the naming problem.

In Halo 2 the Rocket Launcher was altered, this we agree on, the main alteration being the new lock on ability. In the both versions of the Halo 2 manual this weapon is once again designated the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" and likewise the weapon model again bears the "M41 MAV/AW" marking.

On Halo3.com the Rocket Launcher is reffered to only as the "M41 Rocket Launcher" and from the public Beta it appears to be the same variation as that in Combat Evolved. This version has no acronyms after it which has caused many to view it as a new Rocket Launcher type. All of these sources are directly from Bungie.

So the "M41 MAV/AW" section of the name could be the model number of the Rocket Launcher, an overall designation for that class of weapon. Since both homing and non-homing versions of the rocket launcher, from Halo 2 and Halo: Combat Evolved respectively, are called the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" perhaps it should all be one section.

But what of the acronyms, what do they mean? Do they help in this debate? Using the website [3] and their military acronym list. The SSM part of "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" probably refers to it's nature as a Surface-to-Surface-Missile launcher. As for "M41 MAV/AW" could represent Minimum Acceptable Value/Automatic Weapon which would coincide with the launchers nature as a slow firing, automatic weapon (the automated rotation of the missile tubes into firing position).

Since the M41 section is printed on the launcher for the rocket tubes, is it not possible that this is the designation for the launcher? But once the tubes and launcher are combined into an actual offensive weapon it is known as the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher". Just food for thought.

I am of the conclusion that the M41 and the M19 are infact two designations for the same weapon. As such only one page should exist, or atleast a disambiguation page named "M41 MAV/AW" with a subheading dealing with the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" and the homing/non homing variations.

We should take the game manuals to be gospel in this case. Both the Halo and Halo 2 Rocket Launchers are listed as the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" in these manuals. Other than in a third-party guidebook (and therefore non-direct Bungie source) this has been the case throughout. At least we should stop referring to the M41 as the Halo 2 Rocket launcher. Since we do not have a copy of Halo 3, by all means leave the Halo 3 Rocket Launcher name as undecided, perhaps it should be placed in its own category as a subheading in the "M19 SSM" Section.

I apologise for the length of this. :-) Please respond, thanks.

In Return

Nice Friend userbox, If you want, I can make a template for it. I looked over your userpage too, I also like the M1 Garand(do you know it was 10 pounds when fully loaded?)and SCAR as well. You play Ghost Recon? When I play, I always use the 7.62 varient of the SCAR(It has been a while and I forget the name i.e. LG, R etc) I always have liked heavy cal weapons. My favorite is the Barret M107 .50 cal Heavy. If you want, We could have a chat about weapons. Oh and here, choose the one you like. --File:Wraith.png WRAITH ^COMM _CONTRIBS 19:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

UoH

Hey, we might be having a new thing happening with the UoH, and you have been made a captain for what we might be doing. Congrats Captain.--UNSCOH COL. "Running Riot" Ryan BAM 22:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC) 23:37, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

UoH captain

Well we had lack of officers and plus you do lots of good, we are making 4 companies out of the members of the UoH and we now have 4 captains, we havent named any except of A-D as place holders. So you have 1 company with currently 50 people and your XO is First Lieutenant Forgottenlord and each of the 4 comanding officers of the UoH (1 Gen. + 3 Cols. ) kinda watchs over 1 of the companies incase they need anything or something like that and i got your company. So you'll be needing to pick a name for your company of UoH members.--UNSCOH COL. "Running Riot" Ryan BAM 22:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC) 14:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok i'll sort out everyone who is in your company on my computer later, You should say hi or something to Forgottenlord, he is your XO after all.--UNSCOH COL. "Running Riot" Ryan BAM 22:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC) 19:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Rocket Launcher Debate

Hi Tony, Just wondering how you can justify being against the merge of the M19/M41 articles based on asthetics? Every returning weapon from Halo:CE got some kind of overhall, either asthetically or functionally or sometimes both. Why is it then, that only the Rocket Launcher becomes a new weapon? We have provided multiple BUNGIE sources that indicate directly that the Halo 2 rocket launcher is the 'M19'. How can this not be proof enough? I implore you to rethink your decision based on the existing and new evidence on the project page. Sorry if that sounded like a rant, it wasn't meant to ;-) Best regards-- A Monument to All Your Sins 19:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

You got promoted, congrats! :-D

As for the rocket launchers, thus far the Halo:CE and Halo 2 have been confirmed by Bungie to be the 'M19'. Regardless of tracking ability this should place them on the same article. What about if the Halo:CE one were the M19 MkI and the Halo 2 one were the M19 MkII, similar to the difference between the two shotguns on that article. That would separate the two, making them variants of the same weapon. As for the Halo 3 launcher, I'm in total agreement with you. It should be listed as an 'M41' rocket launcher. My point is that the Halo 2 one should not. Does that compromise seem fair to you? Sway you? Maybe just a little? ;-) --A Monument to All Your Sins 19:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm a Staff Sergeant at the UNSC, if you could do with one of those I'm happy to sign up for Yankee company (Salutes).

P.S could you change your vote then please, we could do with the support. --A Monument to All Your Sins 19:39, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the assist. Much appreciated.

"D" Company

Dear CommanderTony,

Glad to see you again. :-)

Anyways, the command staff peeps thought that companies should be named after their designator..."Delta" or something like that might work a bit better. :-) Captain Manticore, the Operations Officer of your rival "C" Company, cleverly named his company "Chimaera", which corresponds to his username. ;-)

Hope to chat with you later, man!

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _SPEAK 19:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Bah! No...I don't *need* you to do anything! :-) You're the Operations Officer of your company, after all, you have day-to-day operational command. Do you know your Colonel and Major? You probably want to speak to them regarding the name of your unit...although us over at Old Dinosaur Command probably think that a company name beginning with "D" fits better. ;-) Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _SPEAK 19:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

XO officer

Hey

Yeah, I was pacing RyannGreenDay after I heard rumors of him forming the Company system and found out that we were in the same company this morning.

Rumor coming down the Grapevine (well....from RR on IRC) is that our Company name needs to start with a D....as we're in "D" Company. I'd suggest "Dirtbag", but anyone who hasn't seen "Police Academy" might not appreciate it.

A tad about myself, I only became involved in Halopedia on July 8, but extensive work on several articles convinced RR to give me a boost from Staff Sergeant to Lt last night. I tend to aim for playing the role of historian and my current projects thus far have been rewriting biographies and battle articles.

Also, we need a template :D

--Forgottenlord 19:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I like Delta...but I'm simple that way. I Demolitions was an idea I thought of. RR thought of Destroyer in IRC but said it sounded to heavy (I think that's the word, but I keep getting disconnected so I don't have it on my local logs right now). --Forgottenlord 20:22, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Definition of Dingo: 2. Australian. a cowardly or treacherous person.

--Forgottenlord 20:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Should we just form as "D" company, then? I probably won't be able to do much until tonight, anyways

--Forgottenlord 20:45, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: RE: "D" Company

Dear Captain,

I believe that Ryanngreenday and Spartytime should be your Colonel and Major, respectively, although you should check with them. I'm trying to talk with your XO...whoa...well, OK, the organization is weird. "Formally", Phil.e. is the CO and Dragonclaws is the XO, you're the Ops Officer. Anyways, I'll just address you as CO and FL as XO anyways. ;-)

Furthermore, I believe I will take a personal interest in "D" Company. It is my favorite company, as I have very good relations with the CO and XO, and see much potential from your userbase. However, I do not wish to interfere with your first command...and if I have suggestions, permission to speak? :-)

Cheers,

1. Why Covenant Civil War? I'm not saying it doesn't need work (I haven't looked), but it isn't exactly UNSC material
2. A couple that I noticed:

• Spartan-104, Biography in particular could use work
• Operation: FIRST STRIKE, which recently got on my to-do list

--Forgottenlord 21:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I NEED YOUR HELP

I've found more evidence for an actual merge for the rocket launcher articles. It's on the newly ordered project page (placing the facts before message board conjecture). It proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the M19 and M41 are the same. I've even e-mailed bungie on the subject! I will, however, still settle for the compromise situation, it is still on the table. I require your assistance in convincing people that the merge is a good thing. Please can you help? I would be in your debt.

Thanks, --A Monument to All Your Sins 16:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
