I have never been in this space of gaming, I always felt too intimidated! But brought this home from Gen Con and fell in love!! Such a breezy and fun system

[DefectiveDice]

Loving Halo so far! Can't wait for my Spartan edition

[KevinRoboticsEDU]

I work at a Maker Space, and we have game nights regularly (everything from Settlers of Catan to Dungeons and Dragons with 3D printed miniatures.) I will be bringing my Spartan Edition once it arrives this Fall! Also bought the Recon Edition for my brother, who works for the space program (he has less free time and wanted a simpler game.)

[bombjelly]

Hell yeah. I can watch this over and over to learn to play . That way it will be simple to learn as I read what I already have an understanding of

[spartanleinadp]

Pretty good! Can we see some Sangheili gameplay next?

[FSSnyper]

Great demo, looking forward to more Halo flashpoint videos

[ashleykeyes]

I've been looking forward to this for ages! Can't wait to watch

[philippetremblay]

Im so happy to have ordered the spartan edition earlier! Your game look a good starter for beginners im the hobby and also very interesting for those who also want a lot of strategy! Cant wait to receive it thx!

[FrozenFlesh]

Cant wait to get my Spartan edition delivered!

Deadeye should have the option to 360 no scope. If he’s higher with a clear shot, you roll 3 dice, one at a time, each die has to roll 6+ to pull off a one shot kill, 360 no scope. If you fail one die roll, that Spartans turn ends. 😂

Congratulations on the release! I grew up with Playstation, so I'm not invested in the IP, but it seems like a homerun for you guys 🤙

[Jamboker]

Being a 40k and Marvel Crisis Protocol player I really like the look of this ❤

[StevanEC]

The best of both worlds, the simplicity and elegant gaming system of Deadzone and the beautiful and rich universe of Halo.

I am so happy I got a copy at GenCon. Mantic makes such great games and their team are so passionate and nice.

[Exstasy]

Played my first game tonight. Lots of fun! Needs some errata updates but otherwise lots of replayability!

[mastafoo]

Have had the spartan edition preordered since day one, cant wait. When is the current target release window?

[corkey]

Great introduction, really enjoyed it.
is there any fightback mechanic in Close combat?

[sonicgecko]

We picked up a demo at gen con and were wondering how do you determine line of sight cus we’re having issues with it.

[micahklein]

Not sure if its the correct place to ask this...

But when i throw a grenade, it says "roll a 3 dice ranged test (1)" what does the (1) mean in this instance?

Very curious to see where this goes - I’ll need to see a ‘full match’ to decide whether or not I’m sold on the game.

Just from this, it appears a watered-down version of Marvel: Crisis Protocol blended with some aspects of Killteam, but as mentioned, a lot of the game’s features aren’t on display here.

Assuming the full rules are great, I think the game will nonetheless struggle with identity on a marketing level. In 40k, the models are yours to equip, paint, and build stories as you like. In MCP, you can assemble a team of your favorites.

Flashpoint (unfortunately) has the worst of both worlds; the models have locked equipment, and their set identities mean nothing to the player.

I think the design team’s ability to leverage established characters like Blue Team and Noble Team is going to *seriously* make or break the game.
