Producing ODST Banner

It'd probably be a quick response if we just got outright attacked. I assume there's some files out there with procedures in the even of an alien invasion.

You don't want to be invaded by extraterrestrial species?

What kind of bigoted racist are you?

>>30332420
>>30332440
I think that could be the best possible thing to happen to us desu

A common enemy unites people, just like it did during WWII and after 9/11. But we would see it on a global scale.

Countries would band together and share resources and shit. It would be glorious

Halo loser.

Read this, the guy who wrote it knows his stuff. Its about what would happen if Earth literally went to war with Hell and Heaven. It talks extensively on Human governments spinning back to WW2 like production, pulling out all mothballed equipment from scrap fields and museums, and how they build and research how to operate innahell.

Would /k/ really like to be an ODST? Shit seems cool and all, but honestly, it looks pretty frightening.

>>30332163
Somebody was going around the patch threads talking about making a bunch of these flags a couple of months ago. I don't think the guy ever into making the things (price issue, getting a fuckload of these made is expensive.) But if the collective response was anything to go by, hell yeah we want some odst flags!

Reminder that Halo 3 was 9 years ago.

>>30332594
About a quarter of all drop-pods get destroyed in flight, so yeah, it'd be pretty fucking scary.
I think being the toppest tier operator (besides being a Spartan II) would be well worth the risk. I get to shoot aliens and make bitches mad wet too. That's always a plus.

>>30332163
Keep us posted-I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

>>30332683
Yeah I heard some echos before.

I hope the price per unit isn't gonna be crazy. I only quoted 10, so I can get an idea and just in case only a handful of people would buy them.

Other thing: I don't have photoshop or anything like that, so I'm unable to add some /k/ into the flag.

Could anyone help on that?

>>30332743
For sure. I quoted for them to be done by the end of October, so we'll see how it goes.

>>30332767
Keep the /k/ out of it, just a straight ODST flag. Sometimes it's just better to leave it as-is.

>>30332855
Maybe change it to 4th Battalion (4chan reference) just to set it apart? Its subtle.

>>30332473
>A common enemy unites people, just like it did during WWII and after 9/11. But we would see it on a global scale.
or it ends like the 7 hour war in Half life 2.

If humanity can barely win even with handwavium like in the Halo games, which is like 500 years into the future and we have the kind of tech that makes practical extrasolar colonies and are actually decended from a retardedly advanced protohuman race. there will be no winning now

>>30332908
>>30332767
I'll work on a better quality flag and insert some /k/ to see how it looks.

>>30333015
I'm working on one too. We can throw them out and build on the ideas.

Kholo (combiming /k/ and everyones favorite holo) was a planet actually glassed by the Cov in the lore.

The Kommandos bit is in obvious reference to us, but with the Kholo it makes it easier for normies to understand the reason for it starting with K.

>The ineffective use of professional soldiers against this force has lead to the Government to pass the New Continental Army Act.

Except in reality the aliens would also be deprived of their hanwavium technologies and would have to use spacecraft, defensive systems and weaponry limited by the laws of physics. Science fiction authors, particularly bad ones have a tendency to just give the alien invaders technology that essentially equates to magic powers because since the properties of those technologies are totally fictional they are more difficult for a reader to scrutinize.

Obviously it would be a horrendous shit-show, they'd probably destroy the infrastructure of every country in the world via orbital bombardment and destroy most of the military in the same way, but an actual large scale ground occupation would probably be impossible as it would require tens or hundreds of millions of troops and transporting that many people that far might not be logistically feasible even for an extremely advanced alien race. Of course if extermination is their goal they don't even need to invade, they can just throw relativistic missiles at the Earth until the radio signals stop and never even bother showing up in person.

Footfall by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle is probably the best take on a realistic alien invasion I've read.

When Latin becomes the primary language again so we start adding English to everything to seem cool.

>>30337654
I would do whatever it takes to get shoved into drop coffins and shot directly into a firefight.

I might not live long, but man will I have lived.

Just to throw my opinion into the ring, I don't think I'd want the Latin on the flag. The motto is "feet first into hell", in english. Having it in Latin wouldn't be canon.
Just the symbol and maybe the markings like in >>30333280.

>>30338049

>>30338266
I really like the way that sounds for some reason, and I'm from the US. I think it'd be cooler than the Latin to be quite honest, brethren >>30333567
This one is my favorite, actually. Subtly /k/ related while still adhering to lore. Be a cool ass patch too.

>>30338176
Couldn't find an exact number, but because of the way there are used we can expect that they had a significant casualty rate, however we can expect that it is not any higher than can be expected from high risk ops.

Here is some interesting trivia I found when looking for death rates

>On the right side of an ODST's body armor is a Chinese character which, when translated, means roughly "complete badass," a reference to the ODSTs' hardcore attitude. Putting these symbols together spells the Chinese word "混蛋," which translates to "asshole."

>Each pod bears the name of the soldier inside; amongst other things this identification could be used to identify the unfortunate occupant of a destroyed pod.[citation needed]UNSC Insertion Protocols call for the command unit of an SOEIV-facilitated assault to land first to minimize the period of disorder that might occur as pods land and troopers deploy. The reasons for this rule include the strongly held belief that officers should lead rather than follow, should be willing to do anything their troops are asked to do, and should expose themselves to the same level of danger as their subordinates

>>30338266
I'd like to get 玩闹 on my ODST flag somewhere, because Firefly and UNSC multiculture. Also >>30338521 is precedent.

Also, it's a standard 3' x 5' flag. Pricing I'm not sure yet, I sent the sample to the flag company and should receive an answer by tomorrow or at the latest Tuesday. I have to send in the (new) template which is the one I mentioned in my previous post.

Notice how the flag is hanging vertically? Would you like them produced like that or horizontally?

>>30340556
I wanted to ask that earlier actually, because I thought the flag was vertically hung. More of a banner in that case.
If we could get an identical version of the vertical banner from the trailer, fuck yeah.

>>30340556
I like the banner style for this reason, but i think the flag looks good too. i think banner > flag, but i would want to get both.

It's the original ODST design from Halo 2. The design used in Reach wasn't created until Halo 3. It makes sense for them to use the design, though, since the Spirit of Fire is still carrying 30-year-old equipment.

A ./k/ flag shop would be pretty awesome.

ODST flag (and variations)

Will consider. Given my situation it's a it hard for me to start up like that. But yeah I'll definitely think about it.

Alright, so I received the guys quote for me.

He said that he can digital print them, on nylon, single reverse with grommels at 3' x 5'. I gave him the link to the live action video so he could see it, and he said that it appears to be applique(All sewn) which would be a few hundred dollars each at least.

Perhaps I can get a digitally printed banner, single one side, with no grommels on nylon. That's as close as we can get without getting into $2-300 flags. That cool?

Yes, we are making a banner like shown in the live action scene.

>>30346756
That actually sounds pretty good
But only if it ends in a cliche "The student surpasses the master and gains the adoration of the sexy athletic 7 foot tall aliens"
Throw in a couple things from The Last Samurai into the story as well

>>30346786
Aren't they like 9 feet tall?

Fuck man I watched that live action movie they made and tbqh I would probably shit my pants if I ran into run.

>>30346799
It hangs around 8 ish feet, usually less.
My headcanon is that they only very rarely go over 7" 10' otherwise it would be pretty much impossible to have any good daydreams with them

Still waiting on the quote from that guy.

I found a flag store by my house and am getting a quote from them soon too.

>>30347966

Instead of having grommets(The rings used to hang the banner) on them, how about a sleeve going through the top of the flag? It would go through the border, and wouldn't be visible from the front.

Copyright can be a bit iffy when it comes to making stuff like this, but if it's small runs and you don't announce it all over the place then you've got a much smaller risk of getting any cease and desist notices from any legal teams. If you're feeling super cautious about selling these then you can always try contacting 343 or Bungie about it.

>>30350389
The other thing too is (unless you're Blizzard), companies are less likely to nail people down for making fan-based shit. It sheds them in a bad light in front of a lot of people, makes for bad PR in the long run to ruin a guy's life for making things for a series that they're fans of.

Okay. Yeah this will be limited, maybe 20 flags of the ODST thing. After that, I can start getting into custom flags that people want. If they do happen to find out, they're required to give ma a cease and desist letter first right?

HEIRS TO THE MANTLE

>>30355410
>>30355436
Not really, Elites were fucking huge since the beginning. Compare them to a marine in CE and an elite in CE, and the elite towers over the marine.

The reason with the elites in Reach being fuck huge is because the player, noble six, is a spartan III, who're generally shorter than their predecessors, the Spartan-II's. Jorge was a Spartan-II, and look how he fucking towers over every other Noble. Next to an elite, he's the same size, maybe taller. Same as MC in CE, 2 and 3.

>>30340556
Best live action trailer ever

>>30355794
Yeah I think people just forget to factor in the player's size. Same thing happened to me in ODST when I first saw a brute.

>>30355794
This. In Reach you play as a 6 foot 9 inches tall super soldier and even then you are shorter than the Elites.
Which just makes the likelyhood of getting a sangheili warrior bro/bro with benefits even smaller because he would just laugh at how fucking tiny you are.

>>30356001

There are plenty enough people who are into that sort of thing.

>>30356015
Nothing makes me feel better than being a fetish for an 8 foot tall lizard whose dick could be used as a concealable melee weapon if used on a human

>>30356326
Showering or captured? I'm sure there is fanfiction of it somewhere.

>>30356350
Well Sangheili don't have external genitals so they would both have to be naked and and erect

I'm going to my local flag shop to get a quote on cotton flags, digital and sewn.

>>30334606
I find this utterly hilarious as I live in Sacramento and I'm about to take my first step into the armed forces.

I could help with deployment and assigning drop zones

wew

So I went to the flag shop to get a quote for sewn and digital print work.

I suggested cotton, because nylon seemed a bit too glossy and had a plastic feel to it. She said that cotton is only available in white at the moment but they could get some in the dark red and gold later.

If I'm making these, I'm making them right.

Would you guys prefer to spend a little bit more for a flag that is higher quality like this? And I do mean a little bit more, not a lot more.

I don't know if this is real but if it is ideal be very interested in buying an xcom flag

>>30358781
I mean, if it's good quality then it's worth buying. How much more?

>>30358781

>>30358973
>>30359170

What I'm gonna do is make a prototype. And once it's done, I'll post it here so you guys can see the texture and what the finished product will look like.

Once I have the quote for the amount per flag, I'll start taking preorders, and if anyone wants to deposit some so I can get help getting these made faster, that's be cool too.

I'll keep the this thread alive with bumps, and if it 404's I'll just make a new thread with the same OP and title.

Right now, the flag company is taking it's sweet ass time givng me my quote. But once I find the price-per-unit, I can set up a pre-order, where down payments will help me get these bought and started.

>>30353246

This is the logically place the lore should go, 343 just rushes plot shit and the general direction of the lore, that's all. The UNSC should still be recovering from the human covenant war as of 2558, not being stronger then they ever were.

Elites have always been consistently been 8 feet tall on average, with half a foot in either direction being the norm. There are some that are even larger, though: Xytan jar Wattinree (pic related, the imperial admiral of the combined fleet of righteous purpose) was apparently 11 feet tall, though other Elites suspected it was an optcal illusion due to his armor and the hologram he showed himself through.

Tl;dr, though, that suit is accurate assuming the people in the shot are manlets and the elite taller then the average.

As far as I know those height values are with them standing straight up and not hunched over, since older scale charts I have (pic related) use the same silhouette for Thel but only have him listed as being 7'1"so I assume back then they didn't account for the hunch but they do now.

Keeping thread alive, here's hoping for a quote by monday

Keep bumping

I'd rather keep my cock and my ability for independent thinking, thanks.

I think most of /k/ would be an ODST if there was no requirements to sign up, but once you put /k/ through medical, psychological and fitness tests you might get like 2 guys who would qualify.

Halo ODST was easily the best game in the Halo franchise, also ironically it was the game with the least time and money spent on it, produced literally as a crowd pleaser as people waited for Halo 3.

Everything about that game was Glorious, the smooth night time jazz, sneaking around the empty city taking out enemy scouts whilst trying to find you're unit again.
