Halo Official Screenshot of the Day: Sonic Rainboom

Over on the official halo website, the screenshot of the day just happens to be pony.  I am not sure how they choose these, or why this one in particular was chosen (Other than being awesome), but it looks like we have spread to yet another major company. 

 Thanks to everyone that sent it!

Ok, this is just amazing. I've never been a big fan of the Halo series, but they're fun games, this just made Halo 20% cooler.

ToonNinja said...

Credit where credit's due, that's pretty badass.

Appletini said...

Nothing to say but WOW

Duskfly said...

Rainbow colored Halo!

Tosxychor said...

Lovely! But I guess it's unlikely many non-bronies will catch the reference.

Delicioussharkat said...

Awesome ponies aside, it still deserves screenshot of the day for how time consuming it must of been to get that rainbow effect.

Haybuck said...

Okay. We've officially taken over everything.

Angel Heart said...

GET ON MEH FILESHAREZ NAO!!!!!!!!

crazyredemu said...

So if a Banshie is Rainbow Dash what vehicles represent the others?
I vote gause hog for Rarity and Rocket hog for Twilight lol

RavensDagger said...

BLoody patient peple who set this up

RavensDagger said...

*People not peple (actually it should probably be ponies)

crazyredemu said...

I was wrong Rarity would be a ghost cause it is sleek and stylish

Angel Heart said...

@crazyredemuI'm thinkin twilight would be a Gauss Warthog, since it's pretty high tech, then I guess Fluttershy could be a ghost, since it's quiet and called a ghost. Applejack would probably be a scorpion since it has a lot of bang for its buck, and Pinky-Pie could be a Forklift since she's so random!

Gypsy said...

thats funny

btw apperently H&M has MLP hairclips legit too they were made by hasbro! bought some for my bros daughter, i dont know if they were featured or not so yeah now you know :3

Ficksitup said...

ha! You guys would be how surprised how many Halo fans are bronies, it's NUTS, the ratio...

I LOVE this screenshot.

So we've assigned vehicles to the main cast...time for weapons.

Twilight Sparkle - DMR. Tactical, accurate, to the point.

Applejack - Shotgun. Of course.

Fluttershy - Plasma pistol. Easy to underestimate, shockingly lethal when placed in the right circumstances.

Rarity - Needle rifle. Pretty to look at and a little weaker than Twilight, but still requires precision and a delicate touch.

Rainbow Dash - Sniper rifle. If you can see her, it's already much too late.

Pinkie Pie - Rocket launcher. Call it annoying, call it amateur, call it damned near impossible to aim, but wherever this sucker lands, shit's gonna go down.

And finally, Derpy - Needler. Because the only people who use it are the cross-eyed ones who can't shoot straight otherwise. :D

crazyredemu said...

@Angel Heart
Yea, I agree. Fluttershy could also be the copter thing cause then you could have a white sparten in the gunner seat, named Angel

crazyredemu said...

I don't know about that weapon list
Fluttershy-Spartan lazor, simular to the stare
Applejack-gravity hammer brute force
Rarity-Needle rife cause it's precise
Twilight-Needler cause it's not as precise but there is a lot more of them
Dash...that covenant concussion gun thing cause it's fast and colorful and loud and big and so on

crazyredemu said...

Pinkie Pie is not aloud to have a gun

Pony In Chief said...

I miss Halo...
But I miss ponies more.
Imagine when season two gives us more to have fun with.

Xian217 said...

Hmm, looks like I now have a reason to dust off Halo 3.

You assigned an ugly thing like the 'Hog to Rarity? When you had a perfectly good Revenant to give her? For shame.

Just putting that out there, so you can see the comments on it, and the tags. And yes, it's definitely intentional for it to look like that.

InfinityDash said...

Ooh, it actually includes the "sonic ranboom" title on the official site! This guarantees at least a few new bronies when they google it :)

Wierdplatformer said...

It was only a matter of time!

Saber-Scorpion said...

Why didn't you provide a link, Seth? Here is the official post:

And Amaru linked to it on the community site 2 comments above mine. Be sure to Like it there if you're on Bungie.net!

PS: this was done in Halo Reach, not 3. Also, all they did was place multicolored spawn points everywhere. Nothing to go crazy about, though it did require skill and some time.

Can't wait for anniversary remake.

ColourSplash said...

Wow........ Never liked HLo games, and thats only cauze I'm patnetic and my cousin keeps killing me..... >:\ This looks pretty sweeflt though, and for sure a lot of halo-turned-pony fans will besold when they see this!! Now we just need something good for other fans thdn we'll have taken over for reals!!

benchief said...

FamusJamus said...

@Skylark Torch This.

As an ex-Halo 3 screenshot reviewer, I can say that there's much better stuff out there.

Still rainbooms are rainbooms.

Twilight Spark said...

Rainbow Dash should be Energy Sword.

PistolePlex said...

That must've took ages. o_O
