    Edit: New short is out! ruclips.net/video/l1EkDdrggBk/видео.htmlsi=tdZ-OewKQXj8qkFZ
    Second Edit: Just to add to the frustration with this particular video the RUclips Music song I used was flagged. I misinterpreted that it could be used and so I had to add in a new sound with RUclips's not very exact editing system. Apologizes.
    The next Halo short is out! This one was largely frustrating with lots of random problems with various parts both in engine and in life. However it ended up close to my original vision and I learned a lot along the way as always. Hope you all enjoy!

      @@hellogoodnite8447 I can only speak for modern radar systems, but they are generally fairly useless at detecting stationary targets. At least, in a way that can differentiate an actual target from say, for example, a tree. Stationary targets are usually filtered out as potential garbage/clutter. A lot of radar systems will struggle to pick up even slow moving targets such as helicopters. Also, radar systems usually have a limited resolution so a large object such as a ship may be picked up as multiple targets instead of a single target.
      That being said, this is the Halo universe, so I imagine their radar systems are vastly more sophisticated.

      Covenant ships can tank several MAC shots, specially non-Super MAC varieties.
      The UNSC was forced to develop massed missile strikes in order to bring down the shields to give the MAC shots a chance, with the shields, most Covenant ships could tank 3 or 4 shots before the shields fell.
      The other major issue with the MAC cannons, is that powerful though they are, they are effectively sniping weapons. Awesome firepower, terrible rate of fire.
      It wasn't until the Reach version of the Pillar of autumn, that the UNSC was able to finally shoot more than 1 shot every 10-30 seconds.

      I believe the official lore since like almost a decade ago is that MACs can be fired at different charge levels to put the inconsistencies to rest... then we got the encyclopedia putting even frigate MACs as firing rounds at substantial fractions of the speed of light that would put WH40k's Nova cannons to shame in terms of impact.

      Sadly it is a bloodbath for Humans.
      The UNSC always needed better than 3-1 force variety to ensure a victory, anything below that was considered a loss.
      The UNSC sadly never had the tonnage or the firepower to stand up to the Covenant on relative terms. The Covenant's shields and their very effective point defense capabilities, coupled with their near 1 shot capabilities on almost any type of Human ship, meant that the UNSC during the entire war was fighting at a disadvantage.
      Only after the war, with the inclusion of shields for UNSC ships and advancements in missile capabilities and payloads has the UNSC began to close that gap, but Covenant era ships are still more or less superior to anything the UNSC has.

    The covenant attacked en force on every installation or world as the humans were on the defensive, which is always harder.
    Also, it would be an excellent story to have a fleet of covenant hunters. The UNSC takes 30 ships, slipspaces them at places where covenant patrol and just light em up while in the early years. Oni sends an Admiral as task force commander, trying to mop up refueling/rearming stations and disrupt Covenant supply lines and troop transports. This is important as it could have been the reason the attack on Reach was delayed. The ending of the game would be the destruction of the task force and the last ship crew tortured & data banks opened up by engineers to reveal the location of Reach, then assembling the covenant fleet. The task force that attacked Reach was half the size it could have been because of the Oni Task Force.

    Great video, but one comment towards the plot. One might think a highly advanced space fairing multi-species ancient organization like the covenant, would have scanning devices that would have easily detected every one of those ships, like they tend to do in the lore. Problem with them is they are just so confident and prideful that even if the entire UNSC fleet DID display its full might, the covenant would still accept the challenge since their honor would not allow them to choose any other course. You see UNSC use that against them throughout the books. The way it would have played out is the UNSC would present the marshal challenge The majority of covenant and their far superior ships would have sat back confident that it would only take one or two of theirs to handle the humans, and it still would have been in their favor. The MAC rounds also tend not to be that effective, requiring a one two punch method where one fires to pop the shield and a follow up shot made from another ship breeches that hole before it closes and gut it bow to stern. In almost every naval battle the UNSC lost heavily, even with greater numbers of vessels and the coordinated help of AI. The only captain I know of to give the covenant a run for their money in a head to head WHILE having the odds against them in terms of fleet size, was Keys, a tactical genius. He won a 3 to 1 fight using a nuke in such a creative way while dodging incoming plasma with the chemical thrusters the UNSC ships have for quick lateral evasions.

    Beautiful, love it but wrong.
    While the UNSC did win engagements against the Covenant armada, they had an average 3-1 loss ratio.
    Only 2 times are known so far when the UNSC won a victory against the Covenant that did not involve a major force discrepancy.
    These are the fall of Admiral Cole, where he literally destroyed an entire Covenant armada by starting a chain reaction within a gas giant and the second one is Captain Keyes maneuver, where he was able to take the Covenant and beat 3 ships with one Frigate.
    This engagement would feel more realistic and cooler if the Covenant where firing as well, and a few UNSC ships where destroyed in the process.
    Love the Humanity first vibe, but the reality is that the Covenant where going to wipe out Humanity prior to the Halo events and anything before that was a stop gap measure.

      So they will absolutely slaughter civies that can't fight back, because to them they are undermining an enemy potential recruitment pool and manufacturing capacity.
      But they will definitely wait for a Marine to pick up his weapon before activating camoflage and then stab him from behind with an energy sword.

    The way you could fix this scenario from a plot hole standpoint would probably having a nuclear missile strike. While totally incapable of damaging the Covenant ships due to being intercepted by PD and Banshees, the missiles could be detonated pre-maturely. The ensuing radiation and electromagnetic interference would blind most sensors or scanning equipment.
    This would setup Stone's lone Halcyon's seeming attempt to blitz through the approaching formation to escape, only for the converging Covenant forces to be ambushed as shown in the animation.

    A little-known fact about the covenant is that they're actually extremely polite. Covenant fleets believe it is important to allow the enemy to 'amp up' before a fight! Interrupting your opponent's cinematic is considered a great affront, along with the use of any form of radar! It is only because humanity, rudely, ignored these cultural rules that the war began!

    Dope animation, I think something misrepresented in this and a lot of other modern space animation is the combat range.
    Modern air engagements take place at much further ranges than this. The advanced mac guns and missiles of the halo universe, along with the massive value spacefaring warships represent, would force them to engage from almost beyond visual range, at the least. The formation would likely be spaced out more too, to avoid collateral damage. Sorry, I’m a nerd 😅

    Looks like your animation curves are set to automatic ease-out of the motion here, which results in an unnatural slow to a stop, rather than the intended effect of the ship slowly rising at a constant pace.
    Would suggest using a manual spline there to make the motion appear more constant

    Shame MAC systems aren't this powerful in the lore. Would of enjoyed seeing the (now canon) Harpoon missiles utilized. Noticed you placed another shot from above the main gun housing on the Halcyon. That's a detail from Warfleet not many would notice. Was left wondering if it was a short accelerator designed to launch the Shiva missile.
    While the scenario is unrealistic, it is still enjoyable and well animated for a private effort. 👍
