You pretty hit my first impression on the head. It screams for Cyclones and Invid. As much as I like Macross (both it's Robotech rework and the original story) I think it's way too much of a stretch for Halo. More like a whole new game just utilizing the engine. Maybe if I lose what's left of my sanity I'll look into starting a Mospeada based mod.

It certainly has less chance of pissing off purists if I decide to use the Robotech names for things than even so much as uttering the name "Rick Hunter" in relation to Macross. And Yellow is far less annoying than Minmei (in both languages).
