    what i love about this is the highlight that both sides are indeed using combined arms warfare, just in different ways. in the games and other media the covenant especially, but the UNSC are also shown to simply be haphazardly throwing units at each other in a big meat grinder. this a breath of fresh air to see in Halo animations.

    • @TheNapster153
      @TheNapster153 3 месяца назад +2

      Interestingly, Halo Wars 2 gameplay I've seen highlights really well how Covenant forces fight.
      That being, it relies on high mobility and incredibly flexible formations as well as long ranged, but pitched engagements where the Covenant forces can weave, evade and pull back if necessary.
      You can see here when the Wraith was able to make a split second decision to assist the flanks by firing a shot whilst still laying down fire at the front.
      Covenant forces are mostly uncontested in space and air power in most fights, barring places like Earth and Reach where humanity forces a committed engagement and fight on their terms. The above doctrine makes sense when factor in warships in-atmosphere.

      Pretty sure ODST's are classified as part of the Marine Corps. But fully agreed. There's a lot of potential there. Bungie knew that too.
      A squad-based game that plays like Republic Commando, set in Halo, as a tactical marine would be quite awesome. Participating and even enabling major events from behind the scenes.
      Imagine taking on a gaggle of grunts as a small and vulnerable tactical squad - or a pair of hunters.
      Personally, I've wanted a game for a long time where the humans are the bad guys; where the main character is a human - possibly still a Spartan - who becomes entangled in ONI's secret web of espionage, experiments, and war crimes - learning too much, and suddenly becoming an unwilling security risk and loose end hunted by marines and even other Spartans on ONI's directives, and forced to wrestle with the question of what the right thing to do in that situation is: Expose ONI and jepordise the war effort and humanity's survival, or do nothing and risk dying, and that ONI is never held accountable for their atrocities, and injustice prevails and the atrocities continue even if humanity survives the war.

    • @theia1653
      @theia1653 4 месяца назад +1

      If there was a tactical shooter ODST, it'd operate on a mostly one hit kill both ways except shielded enemies, and squad tactics. Even a Grunt with a Needler will suddenly be a lot more deadly without the Chief's armor. ARs and BRs would be select fire and actual aiming would be required. Full auto would be useful only in very close quarters or if plasma weapons. Engagement distances would be within 0 to 600m, "0" being rushing enemies or active camo surprise like sword Elites but mostly within 100m, 600 or beyond for Jackal snipers. Rockets are a must in loadout if tanks or Hunters are expected.

  • @Scorch052
    @Scorch052 6 месяцев назад +5

    My favorite thing about your animations is just how much you really GET the Human-Covenant War. How humans' superior tactics, stronger fighting spirit, and overall unit cohesion allowed them to win most battles on the ground against the Covenant's relatively disorganized mashup of species that really don't get along all that well and aren't nearly as proficient at fighting together.
    Can't wait for Part Two.

    This is so impressive!! Thank you for making such awesome Halo content for us to enjoy!
    The tactics and coordination of the Marines and the Covvies was so well done, and I loved all the plasma scoring details as well.
    Excellent work

  • @Hikuria478
    @Hikuria478 6 месяцев назад +19

    What another neat detail is the use of a machine gunner. We see mounted mgs in the campaign, but are never able to grab and use them. I always thought the concept of LMG or MMG for UNSC would be very useful for picking off ground teams

    • @super_chimp
      @super_chimp 2 месяца назад +2

      Fun fact: the GPMG was actually intended to be in Halo 2, specifically after turret emplacements were destroyed (similar to what Halo 3 did). It was eventually cut because Bungie felt it didn’t have a distinct enough gameplay niche within the weapons sandbox
      I, for one, disagree. The SAW was one of the few things I straight loved in Halos 4 and 5

  • @triple-gq6mn

    5:15 the H2C Beam Rifle scoping in sound effect is so cool!

    Peak. This is PEAK!

  • @GeoffreyJennings
    @GeoffreyJennings 6 месяцев назад +13

    The "feel" of this is so uniquely good. Sure, a couple animations are a little sluggish, some SFX could use some more punch, but what this does so well is totally capture the scale and chaos of the fighting itself. Completely brutal street-to-street fighting with lots of casualties on both sides and so much happening in the background, foreground, and off-screen. It's exactly what I imagined was happening all around me during the Earth missions in Halo 2. Also, the build-up to the fighting with the human reinforcements was so hype. Keep up the good work!

  • @GeoffreyJennings
    @GeoffreyJennings 6 месяцев назад +4

    Another great aspect of this animation: The shakey cam is just shakey enough. It's Saving Private Ryan shakey cam, where it's extremely disciplined and controlled.

    That's a good detail having the marines carry the M247 gpmg around. I think that gun would be more deployed at the platoon level like the real life M240B, but Halo 2 doesn't have a model for the SAW so I know you gotta work with what you got. Pretty awesome though.

  • @inlegionnaire2786
    @inlegionnaire2786 6 месяцев назад +1

    Love seeing UNSC Frigates being shown in their best kind of roles as atmospheric support, and powerful in groups, as they’re literally causing a CCS Cruiser to run away burning and laying down hella suppressive fire on the rest of their fleet & ground forces. Love just seeing them hover above the battle happening below.
    Also love a Frigate just deleting a Scarab out of existence with a single archer missile lol. If only the UNSC could be portrayed a little more badass in the games like this. Don’t get me started how weak they looked in that new show.

    I am blown away!!!🤯 You need to make a short movie like this or something. I know me and lots of people would buy it. Maybe you can work with Hiddenxperia and Installation00 to get the lore right. That would be amazing🙏
    I love seeing the convoy of Marines and civilians crossing the bridge. The air raid sirens are a cool effect and add the sense of panic and emergency.
    2:19 is so cool seeing different animations than the games. Here the Marines kick down a door and the elite is choking a grunt. I love it!! And cool idea with the kamikaze Spectre.
    3:40 hearing "airstrike approved" on the radio and seeing the UNSC ship launch a Archer missile is just too cool 😎
    5:48 seeing Tartarus get hit was definitely a plot twist lol does he survive? I still see his body (unlike the grunts that get destroyed) so maybe he is still alive for the rest of the Halo 2 story? Really cool scene🔥🔥🔥
    6:47 love to see ODST doing spec ops things💪 it was really slick how organized and coordinated they were, and the quick tap on the helmet/shoulder once the explosive charge was set is perfection.
    You are just getting better and better bro, these shorts are breathtaking and beautiful and at this point the combat footage is honestly better than Bungie's cutscenes (no offense Joe Staten). Imagine if we had combat scenes like this mixed in with the normal Halo cutscenes😍
    My only constructive criticism is I would love to see the empty shell casings coming out of the human weapons. But I don't know if that's possible...
    Keep up the amazing work my friend we all appreciate it!
