Join Dawn as she gets a quick demo on Halo Flashpoint from Mantic Games. How will she do? See if she can defeat Andy and take command of the battlefield.
Deadzone ruleset on a fantastic and fun license with really great looking cardstock terrain? sign me up! (just hoping the models arent the soft bendy plastic)
Good thing about basing this on their existing rule set is that it will be easy to adapt from the PvP mode at launch into Deadzone or Firefight modes. Also means they don’t have to drop lots more product at launch but can roll things out at a pace that’s easier on the wallet
Spartan edition comes with Elites, my guess is they're expanding with more types of team / factions as it goes (long as it doesn't get canned like Star wars Shatterpoint)
Ill definetly be making the weapons on the cards (gravity hammer ect) and magnetizing them. See the actual weapon on the model when he picks it up would be cool!
Andy can you confirm if an Assault action is a Long Action like in DZ or it will be changed to a Short Action in Halo? I noted that the Charge bonus is +2 dice instead of just +1 dice like in DZ. Thx!
Hey there. Assault is still a long action. I just had a bit of a fried brain from a few long days and misspoke. You do however get a 2 dice bonus for moving into assault rather than 1 dice like Deadzone.
Perhaps you have a weapon that is not in range and some of your team is the far side of the board and about to get ganged up on as an example. I'm sure there's more that will become apparent in time but an interesting question nonetheless.
Seems like spartans can take a lot of damage before going down, if you don't pick up stronger weapons or try and fight in melee you won't be able to finish anyone off before their shields come back.
It seems like an odd decision to me to make a spartan on spartan game. Presumably marines, covenant and the flood are coming but why wouldn’t you put a more interesting faction in your starter box?
It looks like more of a death match game than a campaign mission, so it would be PvP just like the game. The Spartan edition come with a team of elites from the Banished that you can field also. But I agree, a squad of ODST would be really fun to have too.
I spoke with them at Adepticon, and they spoke about how they wanted it to feel like multiplayer in a Halo game which is why I believe they started with spartan on spartan. They also said they have things in the works as they will have the license for a minimum of 5 years. They wouldn't tell me what they were planning unfortunately.
@@rononel8046 Im not going to be impressed till they get hunters grunts and jackals. If this game can't even match the standard of halo clix then its not worth the plastic its made of.
So, a tabletop version of the garbage halo infinite. This is just sad, I wish Spartan games was still around. Halo Fleet Battles and Halo Ground Command were 10x better games, that gave you full battles. Not the crappy 4v4 pvp experience
Ooh, I can see how you could totally do a FFA Slayer or team doubles to get more players in.
Even do "custom" rule sets like Shotty Snipes
stop, you are putting me to sleep with your lame ideas.

Yay Andy is a awesome guy I'm excited for halo
It was sooooo fun! Can’t wait to own it.
Thank you kindly!
Looks like a super exciting game, can't wait!
I cant wai't for this to release and to see what kinds of new models for the banished get released!
Im going to enjoy utilising this for my halo mythic campaign
I'd love to see some map or tabletop recreations of some of the launch maps from Infinite. I wanna play on tabletop Live Fire!

Already pre-ordered. I'm excited to hear about what OP will look like for this game!
Missed opportunity just having spartans, with such a rich universe to draw from a true wargame with multiple factions would have been far superior.
I believe the Spartan Edition actually comes with Elites! I'm sure they will release expansions as well.
Give it some time. I’m quite sure that, if this game gains popularity, they’ll make more.
@@Vohtwomax I hope so, like I said before I wish nothing but the best for them, it just isn't for me at this stage.

Ah Halo my old love. Might pick up a box for painting.
With you there. Really tempted to get the Spartan edition to paint up the Elites too, in OG colours.
Never played Halo, but I love Deadzone. Already pre-ordered.

The terrain packs are cool but a tad expensive. How is the quality of the cardboard?
Is this the recon or Spartan version Playmat
I might pickup the nicer version of this, worst case, as a stand alone game. Would be super cool to be able to pick an all ODST team :D
Seems like a straight forward game. Is it available yet?
damn I was hoping for a big army tabletop game like 40k
Yeah
Was hoping for marines, elites, grunts, spartans, vehicles, flood, forerunners etc
I'm not sure how I feel about this game, I was hoping to see something new and fresh and on that front I am disappointed, but I do like Deadzone.
Great looking boardgame. Was hoping for more of a wargame though.
Why would you ever leave a high vantage point if it was simply a slayer game mode? What point is there to not wanting that vantage bonus?
Perhaps you have a weapon that is not in range and some of your team is the far side of the board and about to get ganged up on as an example.

Bro it’s a demo game not a warhammer tournament

There’s Elites in the Spartan edition of the box, funny that Mantic Game gave us playable Elites before 343.
I ain't playing unless its got covenant.
Good job that they've already announced Sangheili then...
