    You know what?
    343i should probably put some money into _Sins of the Prophets_ to make a fully-fledged Halo Fleet Battles game.
    The main issue with spinoffs is that Halo has been an XBox-centric franchise and some genres don't translate well to Xbox, but with Halo on PC being pretty standard now, I can see it being a very worthwhile expansion of the franchise. It would also give Halo Wars sub-franchise somewhere to really shine, PC is where the RTS genre is at its absolute peak.

      Modders are extremely talented people, but they're not talented at game development, they're talented at modding. They're two very different things. They don't have magic dev powers that magically make all games good. What they *do* have is a lack of executive oversight, no tangible deadlines, and an entire games systems already made for them to build on. That's why mods can get so good.

      Though it doesn't matter once the halo array was fired as everyone would be forced to start from 0, and having forerunner artifacts does not exactly propel the species forward. Take this quote from Arthur C Clarke "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" to these now primitive san'shyuum and sangheili (the latter of which forbade taking apart forerunner tech) it would sit as black boxes until the species became advanced enough to understand what they're looking at.

    • @kodokunagemu
      @kodokunagemu 8 месяцев назад +2

      very incorrect. though your heart is in the right place. ancient humanity was de-evolved, but modern species in the galaxy were all re-seeded from a "de-evolved" or simple natural original state for their species after the halo rings fired and the galaxy was clensed of the flood. what is impressive is humanity's knack for innovation while the covenant only adopted what tech it could gleam from forerunner artifacts.

      Everyone was reset by the Halo array, but none of the others were biologically and genetically devolved like humanity was. The modern species come from specimens taken just before the array fired, so the specimens of humanity were those who were nerfed. The prophets were not devolved, but a Halo was fired in their solar system. All others are biologically and genetically where they were before the Halos fired, but technology and society for all had to be remade from a hunter-gatherer state. Prophets got a boost from reverse engineered Forerunner ships, but the Eilites refused to do that (even though they also had plenty of accessible Forerunner relics) for religious reasons, meaning that the Elites are natively the most advanced in the post-Halo firing galaxy.

      No, I believe Isabel did fire the glassing beam in Halo Wars 2, not the plasma lance. There seems to be some discrepancies as to where the glassing beam is located on the two ships, but in most interpretations, the Kerel pattern from halo 3 has it on the bow of the ship and the Syfon from halo 2 and halo wars 2 has it towards the middle of the ship.

    if I'm not mistaken the Guardian was taken out by The Banished by using a Forerunner McGuffing that they managed to steal from the Arbiter at the end of Halo Outcasts. So no, the Infinity wasn't taken by surprised head-on, what actually happened was that the Banished used the same anti-Guardian weapon against the INFINITY and temporarily neutered the ship because unlike a Guardian, the INFINITY has shields, so when the INFINITY came back to full operability the Banished ships were already on a collision course.
    This last bit has been retconned thrice already:
    In Halo Infinite they mention that The Banished just popped up and instantly rammed them without warning, INFINITY's shields were down because they wanted to maintain a low profile from the Installation's defenses.
    In The Rubicon Protocol they state that The Banished were just there already, over the orbit of Zeta Halo before going full throttle against the Infinity after Lasky ordered for them to be suppresed thinking the UNSC had the upper hand because of Infinity and the ships it can deploy. And then they finally understood what that big weird front designs for their new ships were for, ramming. They also found out at the last second that INFINITY's shields suddenly deactivated and because they also had their engines completely turned off to have an even lower profile, they couldn't outmaneuver the Banished fleet in-time.
    In Halo Outcasts it is retconned again, now explaining that the "Guardian killing" weapon was used against INFINITY and it completely turned it off for a short time, enough for Banished ships to go full speed and then lower said speed and ram them as intended without destroying the ramming ships, this is also why the reaction force couldn't properly fight back as they also had their shields down, and we know how Titanium-A does against Plasma when shielded, so when the ship contingent in INFINITY was released, they couldn't really position themselves because the fight was all around the INFINITY, no long range, just point defense at that point and with Plasma and likely spike and electric or electromagnetic weaponry (like Brute shot shock ammo (Halo Wars/3), Disruptor, Shock Rifle) flying and hitting every single UNSC vessel at the battle.
    Now, because of the previously mentioned, it is hinted at that INFINITY didn't leave or was previously in a very low power mode because of the Guardian which was already at Zeta Halo and they didn't want to risk getting checkmate'd by Cortana when trying to slip-space out of Zeta's atmosphere, they wouldn't be able to do it in time in this occasion, when The Weapon was used to contain the leader of the Created, Cortana lost control of the Guardian, apparently just there, not doing anything, then the space battle happens, the cataclism and Zeta Slip-space maneuver happens and somewhere in-between the 9 months before Halo INFINITE starts The Banished, either out of necessity or to avoid a possible unexpected threat later, decide to use the "Anti-Guardian" McGuffin weapon against the Guardian we see now either destroyed or temporarily downed across the landscape.
    The question remains as to what this weapon actually his, A Forerunner ship?, a key?, some tech they reverse engineered?, there's also the possibility it is some sort of breakthrough in electromagnetic tech, as they use considerably more advanced shock weaponry throughout INFINITE. That might explain why the Guardian doesn't look completely thrashed in INFINTE, it's stunned, semi-permanently until someone or something reactivates it, which might or not cause Soldiers, Watchers, Crawlers and Knights to pop-outta nowhere or just no.

    • @OnePlayer480
      @OnePlayer480 10 месяцев назад

      Also, a data log from INFINITE contradicts INFINITE again by mentioning that Lasky saw the ships and decided to attack them to avoid them messing up the Cortana containment plan by accident which contradicts the audio log with Chief and Lasky "walking on the ship" and Lasky being completely unaware and being caught by surprise by the Banished fleet and a ramming ship. So yes, the prelude to Zeta Halo guerrilla warfare is messy in the lore, for now. I think the last time the lore became this convoluted was with The Great Schism and the transition info drops for Halo Reach canonicity when Bungie leaved and 343i had to make sense on the road to Halo 4.

    Excuse my misspelling my medications makes my vision blurriy sometimes and makes it hard to type.
    A note on mass and volumetric density and why the carriers are all as long as the unsc infinity. Mass is not the only measure to think of how big a ship is but it is also neccessary to think of the materials densities. Some materials are less dense and two objects that weight the same aka are identical in mass are different sizes, because one ofcthem has its atoms packed closer together. Meaning the same mass takes up less space compared to a less dense metal. Keeping this in mind and knowing how projectiles and armours are mostly dependant on making armoir that can weather the transfer of energy or the projectile. The projectile has higher transfers of mass if you can accelerate an object of denser material into a target. Thus the densest metals make the best projectiles but they require larger payloads in the projection system for bullets this means bigger bullet casing with more gunpowder and a larger sized bullet. Since lead is one of the heaviest non radioactive.metals you would choose this. For armour however you need alot.more energy relative to the previous equation of blancenbecause its dealing with different considerations mainly fuel use and horsepower of the engines and other stuff; just more stuff in general goes into moving around a denser material tankcfor example. But if you dont care about readjoactivity or its low enough to not be threatening to the user of the fire arm. You could use a heavier metal than lead like for example depleted uranium
    So i think Barring the fact that the carriers look wider they are using denser elements. These are most likely elements fromxthe theroetical "magic island of stability" where atoms heavier then the current heaviest element would be stable enough to be practically used. This is because heaviest elements arenusually the most unstable with some so short its in microseconds. Impractical for any uses. Especially for war. Considering they use forerunner tech i wouldnt be surprised if they cpuls make such metals.
    To go further into this the reason for this we already have examples of this in our own modern day weapons with depleted urainium ammunition. The use of these rounds is not the radioactivity for a toxic effect nor does it increase the yield of explosions. Instead the primary reason is because urainium is a metal which some people might not know because its usually depicted as a glowing mass and it is very different from what most people think of as metal. But if youve seen actual urainium youll see it is a metallic colour when in regular light and not being in a fission reaction. Urainium is a heavier atom than lead and its used for nuclear reactions because bigger atoms are more likely to break into two smaller atoms but this is mostly irrelevant. What is relevant is density. For the most part elements become more and more dense as they get bigger. Lead is used for most firearms because it is one of the heaviest non radioactive metals. Im sure people have held lead and noted its extreme weight even its the same dimensions as another object made of a different metal. Its why steel is lighter than iron because the carbon is lighter than iron.
    Essentially if you want stronger armour for a ship you would use a heavier metal as its density makes it tougher but stuff like titanium can have effects where its lattices of alloys made from it being extremely strong cuz of its structure. But for the most part if you fired some iron or steel or copper ammunition its less likely to penetrate. This is also why radiation lead and other similarly dense metals are able to stop strong radiation. Some radiation like alpha particles are stopped by cardboard and beta particles stop with lighter and less dense metals like aluminum or steel but gamma ones are so strong it ionizes atoms. Including the ones in your dna and cells. And theyre so powerful only dense metals like lead are able to stop them. But if more dense metals existed that werent more radioactive (im not sure but some might exist but for whatever reason lead seems to be the most practical if there is a denser metal.)
    But what i theorize is going on here is that the covenant have these elusive elements that we currently havent made yet. Theoretically the periodic table is infinite if we could make the weak force preventing them from escaping having a larger radius of effect before falling off. Our universe just has it set that our current periodic table is for the most part the "complete" table. However there are theorized to be more but the issue is that like i saidnin our world the limit is at what ever our current highest element is because anything bigger is so unstable its lifespan is extremely small in the range of pice seconds and plank seconds. Theyxdont exist in any meaningful way. But a theoretical "magical island of stability"

    Actually I belive that the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn was not the only UNSC ship that joined the Fleet of Retribution due the UNSC Aegis Fate being seen on the multiplayer map Sandtrap which is located on the Ark during Halo 3.

    Interesting thing about the CAS is that, theoretically, both plasma beams on the bottom could fire at the same time because the one in the "head" of CAS carriers has a separate, dedicated reactor. So a CAS can double glass you.

    Plasma lances are described as long-range weapons in lore, and combat is generally fairly long-range in Halo. 10,000 kilometers is considered extremely close-range and only a couple seconds of flight for a Pelican in space. The games show close-range space combat because it looks really damn cool.

    I hope we get some more clarification on the grav impact driver.. as for now my best guesses are that the bow has a grav hammer type effect or that the main weapon on the front is a type of kinetic gravitic weapon. Essentially a MAC with gravitic rounds.

    The only issue with the infinity fighting a guardian theory I have, is how the rings fracturing happens DURING the fight with the banished.
    Its recorded in a few audio logs and in the cutscene of Atriox and Cortana, she slams the guardian into the ring after Atrix said he beat Chief.

    Lasers as point defence (12:00).
    What? Lasers would be terrible as point defence. I can only think that they would be somewhat useful against missile and drones, but against any other type of projectile they would be useless or unreliable; the amount of energy need to deflect a kinetic round would be so inefficient, and melting the projectile won't help much so you would need to vaporise it, but that's unreliable as too big of a projectile mean's too much thermal mass, and too small of a projectile mean's the projectile will radiate the heat faster than it can heat up.
