      It’s beautifully done. You battle so hard and so long just to take down that pylon shield so Grafton can THEN fire a freaking mac round (in atmosphere!) at it. And that’s just to take down a cloaking tower, it’s not even a ship. And then BOOM, Grafton is destroyed instantly like nothing. Reach was lost the moment the covenant arrived and this game showed just how powerful and devastating they could be. They fought a half a day to do that and it was for nothing. Covenant just keeps going.
      Masterpiece.

      It's because they're in atmosphere those ranges are out of atmosphere if I remember correctly in Space the range of a Mac gun is how effectively can you aim it because if it if the shot you're making but too far for you to shoot accurately then that's beyond effective range whereas in atmosphere you have all these different ballistic parts that you need to look at to figure out bullet drop and all these other fun and exciting fields of physics because Mack rounds are just very large armour piercing rounds when I say very large I mean LARGE.

The UNSC could have targeted 2-3 shots from a quarter mile away (still in atmosphere), just in case, as opposed to one blast at close range.

      Eric Wilson I meant that the frigates could have tried to destroy the landing device, that the Grafton destroyed from close up in this cutscene, from far away. It would have seemed safer to shoot it from a distance rather than that close up in my opinion. However, the zombie player’s comment above yours does have me rethinking that.

    For those of you who are wondering...
    - A frigate's MAC gun is relatively weak and takes 3 shots to take down a ships shields, usually because they bounce right off.
    - A Havok grade nuke is not strong enough to take down a shield from a Corvette class covenant ship. (The one you board in Long Night of Solace)
    - A "Super" MAC gun is on Orbital Defense Platforms, and are fired at 2/5 of the speed of light. One such round can vaporize a Covenant capital ship on CONTACT.
    I remember all of this coincidentally from the book, Halo: The Fall of Reach.

      +Prince .shadow in halo 2 the ODPs have the standard super MAC. It is capable of piercing and destroying 2 covvies ships and still retain enough energy to cripple a third, if they were all lined up. The fact that a ship as large as a supercarriers was able to move into the odp clusters without being destroyed is absolutely abysmal on the unscs part.
      That frigates MAC still has an explosive yield of at least 2.5× the Hiroshima nuke. And should've leveled the entire map.

    I remember I always had to explain to my friends, in terms of the plot of Halo, why humans were losing the war when the aliens seem to go down so easily in firefight and campaign. Even before Reach came out, I always gave a simple answer: it’s because of the ships. Humans can win all the ground battles they’d like but, when you have ships with this big of a difference in strength, that’s when entire planets start falling. Few ship to ship battles had been shown in the Halo franchise before Reach, and this scene really drove things home in explaining why the situation was always so desperate plot wise.

      You nailed it right on the head since you effectively paraphrased what the novels stated. Covenant technology (a Banshee's plasma cannon is their equivalent of a 20mm automatic cannon) is just too vastly superior for the humans to match when it comes to ship-to-ship combat.

    • @ruzemekam359
      @ruzemekam359 5 лет назад +31

      Bout a year late, but I think I can help with an answer lol.
      The size: Up until this point in the games, we had never seen one of the covenant's bigger ships up close before. Sure, there was battlecruiser Truth and Reconciliation in CE, but from the angle and the lighting, it didn't look all that big. And the Assault carrier in 2 during the attack on Mombasa, but it was from a distance, halfway across the city. Battlecruisers and lightcruisers again in 3, but most of them were at a distance or moved too fast to really get an idea. Reach is the first halo game where we get a clear and up close look at the size of a covenant ship. And to make it even more intimidating, it's one of the covenant's largest capital ships. You get a clear idea of how big it is, because you were not only on the map which the cutscene takes place over, but you also see the Falcon's size compared to Grafton, and then Grafton to Solace. The spire was huge, but the supercarrier is massive.
      The way the ship got destroyed: I think it's because Grafton, and another ship of it's design, were painted as the important objects of the mission, the hero to save the day. Along the way, you see the ships move up as you destroy and clear out areas occupied by Covenant troops, and they even interact with the map a little bit, by shooting at things you may have ignored or forgotten. And then the spire shield comes down, and the hero gets his time to shine, and he completes exactly what all your work was meant to achieve. Grafton destroys a seemingly massive covenant structure, which you could never hope to destroy on your own, with a single shot. Only to be destroyed by an even bigger covenant foe, which you would have never expected, out of nowhere, that's been there the entire time, and destroys our hero with little to no effort.

    • @nukacolacompany2534
      @nukacolacompany2534 Год назад

      It's also fascinating to see the spartan's reactions to it, like Carter sees it and accepts it and immediately moves towards another goal and in that case it was telling the falcon to get them out of there. The spartans really are fearless and never feel the effects of concern or demoralization

    This plus the bit where we blow up the Long Night of Solace feel like giant middle-fingers to the player in the best way possible! The spire gives scale and power to the Grafton, which in turn is completely blown out of the water by the LNoS. When we finally blow up the supercarrier, like twenty ships, all of which are just as powerful, drop out of slipspace. The world-ending threat we just took down was just a baby and we’re completely fucked when the rest of its family arrive! Tonal whiplash and one-upmanship used to GLORIOUS effect by Bungie!

      Raving Rando the mac rounds on smaller ships are weaker and have less range,if it fired from too far either the mac round would not reach or it would explode in mid air.For a paris class frigate it has to shoot atleast 3 times at a covenant ship to take its shields down(the first two rounds would bounce off their shields)however for the bigger ships the mac guns are way more powerful and stronger and can travel at higher speeds.The ones on the ODPS where really powerful,they could travel at the speed of light and can pierce through a covenant ship even if it has its shields on.

      The way I understand it the mack rounds are massive balls of iron and tungsten maybe a few other things thrown in there for good measure so it's basically an oversized armor-piercing shot. Now by if more dramatic you mean going straight through the spire and then burying itself a boat say 20 feet into the mountain behind this fire and then yes but if you mean levelling the map with all very massive explosion no armour piercing shots don't do that unless the thing they're hitting explosion that Spire doesn't seem like it has anything on it that would cause such an explosion

      @@kolslaw94 I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to get at but I'm going to make a guess and assume you're saying the Mac round might have some kind of an effect on the planet itself. That is not the case why macarons are likely not used in atmosphere that much is because the sheer speed of the projectiles is enough to cause immense friction with the atmosphere doesn't matter the shape of the projectile you in if you had a perfectly aerodynamic bullet shape it would still cause a lot of friction so the range would be relatively short the reason why the ODP platform was able to take out the Covenant Ship at sword base is because gravity was assisting it but the Grafton using its Mac in atmosphere is probably rarely ever heard of because it's just not an effective way of doing things a nuke would probably have been a far better option but they probably didn't want to use nukes because they weren't expecting a supercarrier to be hidden by that spire and they were probably expecting to keep reach and want a massive irradiated Zone because of a nuke so that's probably why they use the Mac instead of a nuke when a nuke would have done the job far better

    I forget where I read this but the most successful MAC round ever fired was said to have penetrated through a super carrier, out the back through a cruiser, then into, but not through a third covenant ship, shields and all.
