And then, M.E.S.T. was born...

 

Reach revisted

Visited Reach just for kicks... Kicked a little Alien Butt, rode around in a vehicle... Had a blast.

Level 40

Reached level 40 today!  Just ten more to go and I can select a Specialization.  The last few missions were a little rough as I was joined with less than honorable teammates.  One mission a couple of the members sat and did absolutely nothing the entire time which forced me and another Spartan to handle the entire load.  We did a good job but it caused the mission to last twice as long as it normally would.  The final mission that put me over 40 had a member who thought it a good idea to sit in a gun turret and pick off his teammates.  Despite these hinderances I got through it all in good form and am now headed down the homestretch toward 50...

 

All I have to say about those people who don't participate within the spirit of the game is:  Not very Mjolnir of them...  :)

Nice to have...

This is a massive book!  It's over 404 pages, I say "over" because it has 404 official Halo 4 pages that pertain to the game structure, strategy etc.  And additional pages advertising Halo gear and misc. etc.  Excellent!

The inside cover of this hardbound book is very professional looking with the UNSC logo... Did I mention this book smells real nice?  It does!

The Dry-Erase map cards.  I don't forsee myself actually using these, but they're still cool to have.

UNFRIGGENBELIEVABLE!

I'm sorta proud of this medal I won today while playing Spartan Co-Op.  The Unfriggenbelievable medal for killing 40 opponents without dying!

Specializations - Rogue

In the game of Halo 4 once you reach level 50 you are then able to seek what is known as a "Specialization".  A Specialization is simply a set of Armor with unique enhancements that benefit a particular style of play.  One such Specialization that I'm considering to make my own is that of Rogue.  The Rogue is a Loner.  A solo warrior who has been dropped off on some hostile backwater planet in order to fulfill a thankless mission.  A mission that could last months, perhaps even years.  Since my style of play is already "Rogue" and heavy on the Sniper trade, the Rogue will be a perfect fit for me once I'm able to acquire its Specialization.

DESIGNATION: MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor System [GEN2] – ROGUE

MANUFACTURER: Hannibal Weapon Systems

TESTING SITE: Kotka, Pori – NEW CARTHAGE

ROGUE-class armor was originally manufactured by the Vestol Corporation located on Tribute, but the razing of Epsilon Eridani by the Covenant in 2552 allowed Hannibal Weapon Systems take over of the armor’s production three years later.

Weekly Summaries

Above is the weekly update for my progress in Spartan Ops 11/19/2012 - Monday

I'm becoming much more proficient with my killing and use of weapons out on the battlefield. 

Since I'm new to blogging and can't think my way out of a paper bag anyway... I came up with an idea.  (yeah, that made a lot of sense)  Once every week I'll post a summary of my progress in Halo 4 Spartan Ops.  The most recent snapshot of progress being on top.  (From now on I'll try to make this an every Monday type of update or until I forget, which is likely)
