I’m thinking about a halo based RP. The story would be something along the lines of: A 3 man Spartan team is deployed with a platoon of ODST’s (Yes I know they hate each other) But then convent forces blow up their ship trapping them on the unknown planet. But command doesn’t know about this and won’t send support for a while. Most of the OSDT's are dead though.

Suggestions and help would be appreciated. Also NO ONE CAN HAVE 117 because he is somewhere else.

I've never played the Halo campaign so I have no idea who ANY of these characters are except that Master Chief, who's the main guy I think, is a Spartan person. Cool. Alright.

Sounds like fun :D
I'll hop on. But is this Halo 3 or 2?
Because that will determine whether the Elites are allied with the UNSC or not.

If it's Halo 2;

Name; Valkyria
Species; Elite
Weapons; Carbine
Any other info; Respected among the Covenant Elites. Generally pilots vehicles, and is quite handy in a Wraith.

If it's Halo 3;

Name; Jacob M. Ross [Nicknamed 'Valkyrie']
Spartan #; 1337 [Just Kidding]
Actual Spartan Number; 134
Height; 6'0"
Weight; 143
Specialty; Pilot or Driver
Weapons; Battle Rifle, Sniper
Armor type; MJOLNIR Mark V

(OOC: I hope you don't mind me dating this as the year 2552, which is when the Halo games took place. It's important for my character background.)

ODST

Name: Victor 'Vic' Hughes
Rank: Master Sergeant
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 204 pounds
Weapons: 1x BR-55 Battle Rifle, 1x M6D sidearm
Physical Features:
-Hair: Brown, slightly greying
-Eyes: Hazel
-Light facial hair
-Athletic build, in decent shape
-Age: 38

Bio:

Master Sergeant Victor Hughes was drafted into the UNSC Marine Corps at age 18 following the unsuccessful UNSC effort to retake the Harvest colony from Covenant forces. Fresh from boot camp, and fully believing in the propaganda created by the Office of Naval Intelligence, Victor began his military career as a Private attached to the UNSC Marines 2nd Division. He expected a few easy campaigns as the UNSC war machine rolled over the invading Covenant, before being honorably discharged at the conclusion of a short and (for humanity) bloodless war.

What he got was pure hell.

As UNSC military historians well know, the 2nd Division participated in one of the first widescale actions against the Covenant following Admiral Preston Cole's attempts to retake Harvest. A UNSC colony in a neighboring system reported sightings of two Covenant frigate-class vessels, prompting a full UNSC battle fleet to deploy to investigate. Upon arriving, the fleet (two Destroyers, a light Cruiser and three Frigates) detected no Covenant vessels in-system. A significant enemy ground contingent was detected, threatening the UNSC colony.

Marines, including the 2nd, were deployed from the fleet to eliminate the Covenant surface threat. Upon arriving, the Marines learned that the Covenant 'presence' amounted to nothing more than a pack of unarmed Grunts, released on the planet for, at the time, unknown reasons. As it would turn out, they were bait.

Once a majority of the fleet's Marine assets were deployed to the ground, three full Covenant fleets jumped in-system, outnumbering the UNSC vessels by a ratio of more than three to one. The ambush was sprung, with the entire UNSC force trapped and unable to jump into Slipspace, and safety.

Realizing this, the UNSC Admiral commanding the battle group ordered his heavy ships to take up positions to break the blockade, allowing the Frigates (with as much crew from the other ships and Marines from the surface onboard as possible) to make a run for safety. Victor Hughes was one of these lucky Marines, onboard the Frigate Ramses , who managed to escape. All told, two thousand UNSC personnel (including survivors from the original colony) managed to escape, out of nearly a quarter of a million civilians, soldiers and sailors.

From there, Victor went on to serve in campaign after campaign, all losses. By 2550, he had been recruited into the UNSC's elite ODST 'Helljumper' unit, as a replacement. By this stage of the war the unit was scattered throughout what remained of human-controlled space, taking horrendous casualties in every engagement. The few ground campaigns that the UNSC was able to win were simply wiped out once the Covenant secured naval superiority and bombarded the planet.

Following action on Sigma Octanis IV, the last major UNSC victory before the fall of Reach and the invasion of Earth, Victor and his platoon were transferred for a special assignment, run by the Office of Naval Intelligence.

both are accepted, I would say somewhere in Halo2 era, but it depends.

He earned the nickname 'Smartass' during an op where successfully took out 3 wraith tanks using one rocket and numerous enemy Grunt's methane tanks. He went blind in his left eye after a spiker round shattered and the shrapnel hit him in the eye. He can be annoyingly cheery at times.

If you build it they will come. Sure.

have you read the stickies? Also are you a puppet of a more experienced nation?

Actually a puppet, and I am fairly experienced. Just thought this would be a funny character to add to an event like this.

ok, good, thank god, sorry, but I thought you were a newbie, I was kinda worried there.

Your in.

Cedric saw the warthog pull up.

" Get out Vic," said Cedric hopping into the driver's while Vic got into the shotgun.

"Aiken, keep your eye's peeled, watch out for camo elites," said Cedric activating a thermosensor.

OK, so my guy's specialty is driving. Shouldn't Cedric be in the gunner seat?

He was specially selected for this mission by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) to see this job through, although no one knows why or has any knowledge regarding this selection.

ODST:

Height: 6'4"

Weapons: Battle Rifle, Sniper Rifle.
Physical Features:Tall and lithe with blue eyes and brown hair.
Bio:
Ghost grew upon a hunting ranch in northern Canada and was an expert marksman. When the covenant first appeared, Ghost attempted to sign up but, at the time, was only Seventeen. Despite a few attempts to get past the age barrier, Ghost was told summarily that he could not join for another two months. As such Ghost missed out on both Reach and Harvest. But he had spent the time rather well, hunting with his father who taught him how to use a sniper rifle. Upon enlisting in the corps following reach Ghost proved two things, First that his talents with the sniper rifle we're more than merely impressive and second, that he had a remarkable ability to survive almost anything along with most of his Squad. In nearly no time he had been promoted to ODSTs and continued with his miraculous luck, twice escaping planets on covenant ships (who's crew he and his squad had killed) seconds before they were glassed. His squad being one of the few that remained entirely intact over the course of the war, ONI broke them up in order too spread some of the experience across the board which landed Ghost with Cedric's squad for this rather unfortunate incident.

"You folks seem to need the services of a medic..."

ODST medic, LFG.


Name: Donald Unger
Rank: Captain, Medic
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: Repeat after me: "We are in space".
Weapons: Magnum, SMG, Frag-Grenade, (envies plasma grenade and needler though)
Physical Features: They're ODST, they all look the same... Only difference is he's got a red-cross standard-issue bullseye on his armor...
Bio:
With a spotless war record and only slightly marred service record involving an 'incident'. Mention of the incident brings on signs of dementia, starting with stress and ending with bad surgery and disfigurement.

Since the crash, Donald's job has been to collect and manage the meager resources they have, and to attempt to contact home base. So far, both missions have been a failure due to the surviving team menbers's dysfunctional nature, but none the less he perseveres.

Currently, he's learning how to boil grass by staring at it in a the near-vacume of space.

Though I have done OOC commentary on their aspects...
Some of my ideas are... odd...
And have a semi-thought-out idea for an FT-version of HT... Which leads to the next quote...
Ah. HT, HT, it's an honest mistake. ^.^
Yeah, that HT... I've actually had the pleasure of debating Super-cap starrships vs Frigates and Fighters vs Missiles/Drones... We usually didn't agree
And ofc, when in an OOC debate, people would use acronymns to refferance people's arguements, so it usually turned out like this:

Anon: "I agree with HT, fighters are [blank]"
Hyperspacial Travel: "WTF?"
Anon: "I meant Hurtful Thoughts..."
Hyper-T: "Who?"

Since then, it's pretty much decided that I'll swap to FT when he reverts to Past-Tech...
To avoid asploding some heads.
Although I think some fellows worked around that by calling me "Hurty" and the other HT "Hyper"...

Actually, a better approximation can be made by looking at posts per day, and size of said posts.

I have ~4,000 posts, but it spread over 4 years...
You have 2.75 psts per day
I have 3.24
VT = 3.52
Blackhelm threatens 5.17 new countries per day.
Kenavt = 5.73
Stoklomolvi does 6.09 new THREADS per day
Lynion has 10.74
And Da-Woad has 2.64

So the prospect of Da Woad having a girlfriend is better than everyone else here combined via simple math. Therefore, it is safe to assume DaWoad has a few other girlfriends on the side.

You may have created an NS account in '07, but you weren't logged with jolt till late Feb of '08.
Though posting for only 3 months rather than 12 would screw those stats.

BTW, does the base have any mounted rocket-launchers besides the warthog?
Remember the longball-speech? Now lets try that /w/ an M61, shall we?

lolz, ok, I didn't know that. i thought it started when my NS started.

Using the targeting system, Valkyria began firing multiple deadly plasma shots that arced over and began exploding near the Warthogs. He slowly began inching forward as he felt more and more safe with entering the battle directly. When his fellow Elite in the turret gave him the signal that it was clear, Valkyria hit the boost, shooting forward to catch the Spartans by surprise, with his fellow Wraith shortly behind.[/font]

Alright, posted. I'll be causing drama in both camps. Expect me to form a different camp from Augmark, and then cause more trouble. On the other hand, when I fix up my Hornet, I'll fight them nasty Banshees.

I actually have a female compatriot, thank you very much. No, honestly. I do. So I just upset the scale. What a pity.

Just go post IC, Kenavt.

This looks rather interesting, I'm hoping it's still open? If it is, I doubt any spots are left for Spartans.

SPARTAN
Name: Mike
Spartan #: Unknown; he simply goes by 'Mike', he destroyed all references to his Spartan Number
Height: 6'10"
Weight: 280 lbs (w/o 1000 pound armor)
Specialty: Technology, Computers
Weapons: MA5B Assault Rifle, M6D Magnum, M19 Rocket Launcher, Combat Knives, Frag Grenades, LOTUS Anti-Tank Mines
Armor type: MJOLNIR Mark IV (No motion detector, bio-foam, or combat shielding)
Armor color: Grey
Other Info: The only truly African black Spartan, very independent willed, usually works on his own for long periods of time without aid, but was needed for this mission because of his technological and piloting skills. Is part of the special Gray Team of Spartans, which consists of three members; created with the most unruly Spartans. Very Large and strong, carries a lot of equipment, but is slower then most Spartans. Very brash and risk-taking, doesn't like being told what to do.

K, may I request a base sitrep on what vehicles we've got, where, and the damage they've taken?

At first, I thought it was just a wraith, 3 warthogs and maybe two MG-nests per base; now I also see 2 Banshees, a mongoose, a hornet, and a refferance noting an unlimited supply of covenent weapons and brutes.

Also, I'd like to suggest a team-limit on support weapons.
A late-arrival OOCly showing up out of th blue ICly with a laser-rifle for example...

I'm with HT also we really really need to get a handle on what, exactly, is going on at the fire fight.

The Mongoose and Hornet and Wraith and Ghost were mine own fault.
However, the Covenant does not have an unlimited supply. I said so in my own post.
For the mongoose, I figured that was a vehicle that would be very easy to survive, with it's small size. As for the Hornet, it's ridiculously damaged, and will not be used in the RP, it mainly serves as an past time for my Spartan character, who is attempting to fix it. Of course, when chapter two comes around, I might decide to fix it up, or just get a new one.
For the current list of UNSC vehicles, here it goes;

-Warthog [Gauss]
-Warthog [x2 Machine Gun]
---Of Warthogs, most are damaged from grenades, bullets, etc. because of recent firefight
-Hornet [Extremely damaged, unable to be used]
-Mongoose [Is damaged from firefight]
-MG Nest [x2]

As for the Covenant, there really should be far more Elites than Brutes. Because this is around Halo 2 era [See 101sts post on page two or page one] the Brutes were not used, you only saw them on the Covenant homeworld. So really, it should be mainly Elites with a few Brutes and Spartans dispersed throughout. So, because I disagree with Augmark's decisions IC, I'm going to form my own Covenant camp. Mainly from hatred of the Brutes and for the deaths of Elites. Here's a short list of what I'm going to be taking with me.

List of Covvie vehicles secretly being stolen to form new camp;

-Phantoms [x2, carrying Sniper Towers as cargo]
---x4 Sniper Towers [The annoying floating things]
-Wraith [x8 Wraith, one is specialized by Valyria]
-Ghost [x5 Ghost]
-Banshee [x4 Banshee]
-Specter [x5 Specter]
--[Specter is the Covvie equivalent of a Warthog. You can go Google it if you wish]

What decisions?

The Mongoose and Hornet and Wraith and Ghost were mine own fault.

Thats basically right, except on gauss, only rocket. Also, maybe 2 mongooses.
But basically.
Mkay, thanks for the heads up.

SPARTAN
Name: Mike
Spartan #: Unknown; he simply goes by 'Mike', he destroyed all references to his Spartan Number
Height: 6'10"
Weight: 280 lbs (w/o 1000 pound armor)
Specialty: Technology, Computers
Weapons: MA5B Assault Rifle, M6D Magnum, M19 Rocket Launcher, Combat Knives, Frag Grenades, LOTUS Anti-Tank Mines
Armor type: MJOLNIR Mark IV (No motion detector, bio-foam, or combat shielding)
Armor color: Grey
Other Info: The only truly African black Spartan, very independent willed, usually works on his own for long periods of time without aid, but was needed for this mission because of his technological and piloting skills. Is part of the special Gray Team of Spartans, which consists of three members; created with the most unruly Spartans. Very Large and strong, carries a lot of equipment, but is slower then most Spartans. Very brash and risk-taking, doesn't like being told what to do.
You are accepted, LOLZ black spartan. Of course besides for Tucker, unless you aren't talking about RvB.
I actually have a female compatriot, thank you very much. No, honestly. I do. So I just upset the scale. What a pity.
Bull shit. I know you, you wish you could get a girl, hell I'm starting to think you are a girl.
According to Jolt's own logs: "Join Date: 25-02-2008"; Feb 25th, 2008.
You may have created an NS account in '07, but you weren't logged with jolt till late Feb of '08.
Though posting for only 3 months rather than 12 would screw those stats.
And considering a third of your postcount was since this january...
-----
BTW, does the base have any mounted rocket-launchers besides the warthog?
Remember the longball-speech? Now lets try that /w/ an M61, shall we?
not really, we have like 4 spnkers though.

I'm with HT also we really really need to get a handle on what, exactly, is going on at the fire fight.

The main assault is destroyed, warthog flipped, marines arriving, you are leaving with me, and in 4 minutes, shees are going to be arriving with some other crap.

Bull shit. I know you, you wish you could get a girl, hell I'm starting to think you are a girl.

Dude, you know I have one. No, honestly. :eek2: What now. Remember? Just get on Gmail please.

No you don't stop dreaming.

Thats basically right, except on gauss, only rocket. Also, maybe 2 mongooses
I call dibbs on that 2nd mongoose...
If you want a medic running around and treating "hurry" cases, you want the fastest thing available, and you likely wouldn't want to risk a warthog...

So, um, who's my "backseat-wingman"? A medic would be kinda exposed...

It's a NPC unless someone else volenteers.

I was considering Sgt Devon Parker or Caboose
Being the only ODST Cpt seems like it would pretty much give me command over the base unless overridden by a Spartan, but then again, "teh Master-Chief" gave very few commands rather than following the ones given to him in his own way.

SPARTAN:
Name: Private Michael J. Caboose
Spartan #: fourty too.
Height: Tall dark and handsome
Weight: It is not polite to ask, I just ate.
Specialty: I hate babies
Weapons: Guns
Armor type: Lots
Armor color: Blue

ODST
Name: Devon Parker
Alias: Feronen
Rank: Master Sergeant
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 180lbs.
Weapons: BR-55 Battle Rifle, MA5B Assault Rifle (Original Halo version), M6D Magnum (Original Halo version)
Physical Features: Physical Appearance in Civvies (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/Feronen/Mobile%20Suits/charqr6.gif)
Bio: No one in Devon's team knows anything about his past, and he makes a point of not talking about it. He was specially selected for this mission by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) to see this job through, although no one knows why or has any knowledge regarding this selection. Despite his rank, Devon is not the team leader. As far as anyone is concerned, he's just a last-minute addition.

You are accepted, LOLZ black spartan. Of course besides for Tucker, unless you aren't talking about RvB.



Thanks, heh, he's an actual spartan too. And he's the only AFRICAN black spartan, as in he came from Africa originally.

In retrospect, I think I'll just say he was already there on an isolated mission (which is usual for the grey team)

If you're still in-base, I think it'd be wise to ride the mongoose, quick-way into the action, and I don't think Sgt-Parker is inclined to RP...

Nah, I'll just have him hiding out somewhere nearby. It's kinda his style to be a loner usually anyway.

Hey, how do I upload a pic?

Go to photobucket or imageshack, upload, take the URL and put it in



tags.
Why, are you posting the map?
And what kind of planet is this? Snowy, forest, marshes, grasslands, desert, canyons, jungle, etc.
It would be very helpful

It's mostly forest. But here is my shitty 2 second map, I'll make a better one later. (http://img9.imageshack.us/my.php?image=60559012yq3.jpg)

I'll try and make a better map.
Forest? Okay. I thought it was canyon, but forest is waay better.

Edit;
New map of mine.
Darker means higher elevation.
http://i44.tinypic.com/353bl6w.png

Lolz

I take it that the 'hog' is stuck in the 'valley'?

thats a sweet map

Oops, forgot to put the Hog site. But yes, that large valley on the central-northern part of the map is about where the Hogs are.

lol, I just realized it's an exposed ridgeline and not a valley on map...
I initially though lighter colors meant higher elevation...
Or is it in that light patch to the east of the ridge?

Anyways, deploying mongoose with NPC backseat ODST armed /w/ BR (assuming AR has no zoom -essentially he's a DM- plus, I'm not sure if an ODST can realisticly handle the bigger stuff as well as a Spart).

Attacking the ODST base with my troops. Expect failure on the Covenant's part, because it's too early for a 'final battle.'
But it should draw the Spartans away from the Covvie camp to defend their bros.

Hey, I'm going to become a loner for the time being, after I get healed and go up again, I'll be shot down and lost. Anyone want to be shot down with me?

Why not? Mike's priority is to get off the planet; he's used to being isolated anyway, it's perfect for him.

I'm changing my armor to CQB.
If you want to know what it looks like you can look it up.
That's all.

Hmmm...

Well, if DaWoad's sniper doesn't tag the Brute, I can still needler-spam and hope for the best as I get mobbed by 3 Brutes and 6 Grunts (timely use of frag or spike-nade)...

250-dmg in 1.3 seconds doesn't sound that bad at all...

But I'll be picking up a spiker if availabe after that, even if it is slower to kill, I won't get caught w/o ammo as easily.

Kinda wish I had a flare or flashbang...

can i play as Flood marine? like one that is partly infested and controls a small force of flood with some warthogs or something?

I don't believe we have a flood problem in this RP.
edit:
Augmark: I have an ODST in your base, it startled a brute, pls post.

Oh, ah, hope you don't mind, I kinda RPed that one Brute, just 'cause I was there.

I'll get my healing up as soon as i can.

Oh, ah, hope you don't mind, I kinda RPed that one Brute, just 'cause I was there.
Yeah, thy kinda fleshed-out the brute in terms of emotion/intellegence whilst presserving their brute force... [bad pun]

So it pretty much now is an aggressive Grunt's pack-mentality (in fact, the observation that the grunts are nearly as aggressive as the brutes in H3 suggests they are using the same improved AI-control in-game) and with the character detail previously issued to the Elites (now essentially a new-skin for Sgt Jenkins).

In short, yeah, they got "feelings" as an upgrade.
Or at least that was the claim.

As you can tell, I'm not a halo-player...
So I kinda looked in disgust when the AI of Halo pretty much amounted to "duck, roll, shoot, roll, duck, melee melee melee, duck, roll, repeat; give terrible one-liners to break monotony".
Not that circle-strafing players proved much better than the enemy AI.
Which implies that there really weren't that many different actions to choose-from in the begining worth bothering with anyways.

--------
Not sure if Kenavt realizes that the base is under a fairly heavy attack...

What's the current position of all posters? Alright, fill it out.
Everyone please post where you are, and what you're doing.

[Characters]

Heirosoloa;
-Valyria - Watching Covenant attack UNSC camp from distance
-Jacob - In UNSC camp, hiding from Hunters

101st;
-Cedric - Watching the UNSC camp get attacked. And not doing anything about it.

Kenavt;
-Aiken - Waiting outside UNSC camp

Hurtful Thoughts;
-Unger

Talrania;
-Mike

DaWoad;
-Ghost

Augmark;
-Gandalkus

Void Templar;
-Luke - Waiting outside UNSC camp

NPC;
-Tucker - Flying stolen Ghost
-Unnamed ODST Gunner - Presumed dead


Alright, everyone seems to have a Mongoose ready and waiting for them.
There are TWO.
So, here's a guess at where the UNSC vehicles are.

[Vehicles]

-Warthog 1 - Inside UNSC camp - Pilot: None [Last used by Talrania]
-Mongoose 1 - Nearby UNSC camp - Pilot: Void Templar
-Mongoose 2 - Undefined location [Covvie Camp?] - Pilot: 101st Paratroopers
-Warthog 2/3 - Undefined Location - Pilot: Abandoned

Snip

Luke is about to head up into the base, get off the mongoose then start laying down some anti-vehicle support.

Y'know, for Earth set 200 years in the future, there is a noteabe lack of portable Javelin-esqe missile launchers.

I'm where you think I am actually waiting on someone to get in the mongoose with me.

Updated.

I'm with Luke.

Updated again.
Who wants to post IC and help me kill them Hunters. I'm too lazy [And busy hiding from Hunters] to post.

um... by that, I ment in the ODST base waiting for a gunner for the mongoose.

You realize that the UNSC camp is currently being attacked right?
You could just help out stopping the Covenant >.>

[font=calibri]Everyone please post where you are, and what you're doing.

[Characters]

Heirosoloa;
-Valyria - Watching Covenant attack UNSC camp from distance
-Jacob - In UNSC camp, hiding from Hunters

101st;
-Cedric (Spartan)- <Wounded> Either watching the UNSC camp get attacked from a safe distance or limping into a hunter's line-of-fire.

Kenavt;
-Aiken (Spartan)- Waiting outside UNSC camp

Hurtful Thoughts;
-Donald Unger (ODST Medic); In enemy territory

Talrania;
-Mike (Rogue Spartan)

DaWoad;
-Ghost/Hawk (ODST Sniper); MIA since the attack on the hogs

Augmark;
-Gandalkus (Brute)

Void Templar;
-Luke - Waiting outside UNSC camp

Freelance Character:
-Tucker (ODST Marksman); In a Ghost

Alright, everyone seems to have a Mongoose ready and waiting for them.
There are TWO.

-You mean Cpt. Donald Unger? The Medic? He stayed behind in the enemy base after fetching Cedric.

-Tucker (an Character Not-assigned to a specific Player) was tasked with driving/flying the captured ghost back to base, then I kinda palmed the right to RP said character to whoever.

-And yeah, I mistook a Needler-injury for that of a Spiker...
For one thing, a hit by spiker does 3x the damage, secondly, the spikes don't go away, and lastly, those things are huge...
=But needler or no, wounds are not insta-heal, simply put, you still have a hole in your chest, it just stopped bleeding, try not to spill your vitals on the floor... Because the medic is not available at this time to patch you back up.

And no, both Mongeese are at or near the UNSC outpost.
Hogs 2+3 were placed as mobile resserve to counter-attack the rear of any frontal assault. One has a Roket-launcher, the other has HMG...
They should be causing hell upon the covvy, right, about, now...

The goose VT/101st is in are the same, as I was the only one to go to the front-lines with one, and then palmed it off to Luke, and it is therefore, the only one anywhere near the warthog that Cedric was using as an ambulance-stretcher when Mike (the driver) or Aiken (the gunner/orderly) decided to ask questions...

Mike's at the camp after dropping off Cedric, he left the 'hog near the others. And trying to help Cedric while he's at it.

got it, I took care of the hunters now get on the mongoose so we can get separated from the others and try to hold by ourselves.

Gotcha. And as I mention, FYI, hunters don't have spines.

Just saying.

Ah, what now?

Ah, what now?
I try and figure out why you thought firing a rocket-launcher in a room was a good idea...

I try and figure out why you thought firing a rocket-launcher in a room was a good idea...

1. Paratrooper-man made it sound like they were outside, as he drove a Mongoose by them and got away without getting blown to pieces
2. Mike wouldn't know if anyone else was in there
3. He wouldn't care all too much if someone was

Actually I was reffering to the brute-shot...

Oh. Then why not say 'brute shot'?

But
1. He's a wounded Brute, and he was caught off guard with it
2. He's a Brute, they're not always exactly bright
3. I thought they were still outside in the trees when he shot at him?
4. Most Brutes fight like that, with big guns and in the open. Not only are they tough, but they're used to fighting in groups
