While this work is fun, you have to understand why ship to ship battles is a disadvantage to the UNSC. Approximately 70-100 kilometers distance when two opposing fleets face off with the use of magnetic accelerator cannons or (MAC) And the use of archer missiles for cover fire/screening bombardment which isnt effective cause of energy shields on the covenant ships. Halo is much more realistic and only used longsword class which carries nukes to harrass the covenant. And the only starfighter that the unsc can field against the covenant are the Sabre class fighters which is super late into the war with covenant reverse engineering shields implemented. Sadly most of them were destroyed in reach either to not give covenant info about them or they got destroyed while fighting above reach. (Operation red flag to kidnap a covenant high ranking member and negotiate peace but was cut off thanks to the covenant finding the location of reach.

Excellent work! Honestly if the Halo TV show wasn't such a flop to the eyes of the community. I could see this scene being the opening for any hypothetical Halo Show. It's just that damned good! And your work and many other was just the beginning as well. Recently there has been an upsurge of Halo fan made content coming onto the scene.

I never understood why neither bungie nor 343 devoted any time to showcase actual UNSC vs Covenant space battles. Makes me so sad. But I am grateful for this fan base work. I wanna see more!

While I agree that it would be awesome to see some of those battles focused on, either as cutscenes or through a game which isn't just mods applied to other games, I feel like I should point out that the majority of those battles are going to end with destroyed/routed UNSC forces since it's, you know, the Covenant.

Yes, it's finally happening, enthusiasts and artists are answering that avoided part of space battles between Covenant and UNSC forces. Yes, this needs work but the concept is perfectly executed. This first sketch is outstanding and I'm rooting for the team for taking the painstaking task of doing such space battles. Thank you for such love letter to the franchise.

The algorithm has brought me here. And I'm glad it did. There was some pretty cool details here, like the point defense rounds breaking on the Covie shields and the ships scraping against each other. Also, you did a good job showing how outmatched the UNSC was in space with how one ship was blown apart near instantly and the rest only manage to take down a corvette.

This perfectly portrays the power dynamic between the UNSC and the Covenant Spoiler: You've made the CCS an absolute nightmare! At one point the battle seems to be going well, fighters distracting point defense while to the big ships do the heavy lifting, only for the CCS to end it in one clean swope, scoring two two for ones at the same time, with the only thing left behind being the quietness of space, hundreds of dead people and the distant roaring of the perpetrators impulse drives as it prepears to do the same to the entire unprotected colony with neither pity nor mercy...

This is marvelously well done. It reminds me so much of the classic Halo novels and the extreme hazards of space combat that those portray.

If anyone wants a halo space game, that also stays true to the feel of the UNSC ships generally being outmatched, check out the sins of the prophets mod for the game "sins of a solar empire". It does an amazing job at capturing the feel of Halo space combat, as UNSC ships generally need a 3-1 advantage of "equivalent ships" to win fights, but the game is "balanced" around that with the UNSC able to support larger industrial bases and also they can dig in with orbital defense platforms. Amazing game/mod, it's actually been awhile since I played it but I think I'm going to play some more this weekend, this video reminded me how much I missed it.

Has anyone heard any news about Sins of the Prophets 2?

At least the unsc ground troops had a more equal fight when they were planet side. The poor souls in the fleet were just expected to die when a covie fleet entered the system. The only time they had a chance of victory was if they had a 3 to 1 advantage. Even then, the losses they’d suffer would most likely make it a Pyrrhic victory. Sure, every now and then a commander could pull off an amazing victory, like Keys or Cole, but those were exceptions. But to me, that really helps make the story so much more compelling. The humans new they were out matched, but they didn’t back down. The men and women in the fleet new their time was most likely up when engaging the covies, but they didn’t run, they gave the covies hell. The fleet herd of nothing but defeats, yet they continued to meet the covies in battle whenever they were needed to. The pure relentless defense they put up for years is just so inspiring.

Absolutely love the CCS class devastating the battlefield

Great stuff. I always loved the hopeless struggle that was the UNSC vs Covenant fleets.

Any Halo content like this deserves way more attention. Really good man!

That was excellent. You only really hear about naval battles in the books and even if it's brilliant, it's slow and methodical. Seeing it in real time is awesome. Good stuff!

​@basedsneedclave175 they did use the archer missiles at the end. It doesn't matter, archer missiles don't do shit to Covenant shields anyway. It takes MAC rounds just to weaken their shields enough for Archer missiles to even have a chance.

“ wow I take that back, the Navy got its butt kicked! “ -Romeo

Well that’s one of the BEST Halo Space Battles I’ve seen in the last year and I’ve seen a few of them

Soon as I saw 4 paris-class frigates I went "Welp! They're toast!" And I was correct. I LOVE the UNSC frigate line, the Paris and Charon, but they're so outclassed... Like the Savannah trying to hold its own against a single corvette.

This is super cool! I love the last shot, with the Covenant ship taking out so many ships at once! Nice work!

Hey this is awesome. I really love the accurate portrayal of the UNSC getting gutted. The ship scraping was an amazing detail. If you ever need music done, I'd love to make a custom soundtrack for you. :)

A very respectable showing from the UNSC. A fight is allegedly only even at a 3/4:1 ratio for the UNSC. Considering they got one of the Covenant ships at 2:1 ratio they did phenomenonal.

The space battle for Harvest deserves a full movie of its own or some shit :) The best we got was a meager battle in Reach's orbit but the space battle of Harvest is the biggest engagement in the lore, if you read the books you know how huge it is

I noticed the detail when you used UNSC tactics against covenant ship shielding, very nice!!!

The opening especially feels very Expansey with the music and tension put together, I absolutely fucking love it

Excellent work, could definitely watch more spaces battles like this between the UNSC and the Covenant. I love the sound of a MAC cannon firing.

this right here is done incredibly well btw.

What a nice surprise to find in my recommended.

1:34 using a bigger ship for cover: smart. flying directly between that very same ship, and the thing that is shooting at it, in the fire lanes: less smart.

You know, this could actually be a good stand in for the Battle above Arcadia. Just make one of them a Halcyon class cruiser and have it survive.

Well done. I agree with other commenters that it's a shame we didn't get more actual space battles from official sources, but you've done a fine job here

Although A Small Scene That Was Amazing To The Plasma Cannon's To Mac Blast's To Archer Missiles That Was Beautiful My Friend's. Keep Up The Awesome Work

This gets the Captain Keyes seal of approval!

Those fighter pilots deserved that for flying into fire like that.

It wasn't even funny how severely outmatched humanity was against the Covenant during the majority of the Human-Covenant war, especially when it came to the battles that took place between them in space (When I say "battles", what I really mean are one-sided massacres).... And this video showcases that perfectly

I need more space battles even if its loss after loss, planet after planet.

may not mean much but look up space engineers there amazing space battles . highly recommand captain jack or xp gamers . star wars HALO!!! or more! overall loved the video wish there was more halo space combat!

Great video, I was about to say Broadswords were a post war thing but they had actually been on production since the 2530s

This was awesome! Amazing work

absolutely obsessed with the coordination of the first frigate hitting the corvette(?) with a mac round and the second opening up with archers

A bit of polishing, and this could make something really incredible!

Very well done!!! My only nitpick is the absence of UNSC nukes being launched. iirc UNSC ships would immediately launch any nukes they could just before/after a MAC shot

Sins of the prophets 2 looking great

Obviously it could do with a bit of refinement, but you captured the essence of space combat in halo very well. UNSC ships only win with a large numerical advantage, and they only just manage to score a kill on a covenant corvette (the weakest of covenant ship types) by using MAC guns to deplete shields followed by missile barrages, just as lore describes. And then an actual Covenant cruiser turns them to mincemeat.

Surprised the Covenant won this, most animations that I've seen had the UNSC win.

That’s awesome man!

Battlecruisers CSS class are so amazing 10/10

Now I realize why its so satisfying to see the Infinity just plow through these guys years later.

this makes me want some halo space rats something like star wars empire at war

This was incredible.

@King Seb22 so can almost every other unsc fighter. That's in the mission package, not the craft itself. The broadsword was specifically designed to fight covenant fighters up close in space, its armaments determine whatever else it can do. The longsword was meant as an exo/endo-atmo bomber/fighter, with more space and longer lasting engines(fuel). The sabre was meant to dogfight near a planet. They can all carry configurable missiles within the limits of load and space.

People really don't know how much the UNSC lost fighting the Covenant. In the books, it would take 3-4 UNSC ships or more to even destroy one cruiser. Now you see the Fleet of Particular Justice and so many others who literally cut through any UNSC battle group like butter. Any fight in space was a delaying tactic. The time used being engaged in space gave time to people on the surface to prepare and evacuate.

UNSC naval doctrine states that a 3 to 1 ratio is needed for the possibility of victory in naval battle. Given it was 3 to 2 and it was a cruiser they destroyed for 3 of their frigates, honestly not a bad outcome for the humans

This battle is one of few vids I've seen where the UNSC loses. Seems dumb since they lost in space most of the time, but animators apparently like animating that one heroic battle where humanity wins...and they end up being the bulk of animations online.

As it turns out, space has lots of space. None of those vessels would be that close to each other

1:40 That feeling of utter frustration when your buddies jump right into your firing lane. 🙃🙃🙃🙃

Got to remember, the UNSC need to at least have 3 times the amount of ships of the Covenant to have a chance of victory....

I take it back. Navy got their butt kicked.

Very cool video. And went about as well as you'd expect for the unsc until after the war

Admiral keys had to change tactics using a mix of MAC guns and nuclear war heads to take out the super cruisers but tfe fact one covenant Corvette needed to be engaged by bar minimum 2 UNSC cruisers and one cruiser would always end up destroyed tells you how rough humanity had it against the covenant

That is how it works. Full frontal barrages by all ships. Death blows significantly more than enough to cripple and destroy. The only caveat would be the beam's the Covenant throw to destroy. Only Capital Class Cruisers or Flag Ships knew how to pin point Direction Plasma torpedoes that way. Beforehand it would be slower than what you see and perceive as well as have gravity about them. That's the only way the Iroquois Commanded by Keys survived. I like the brutality yet it needs betterment in how and why the fuck they could deliver payloads that quick.

And this fellas is why you do not engage covie warships within autocannon range. This would've been a pretty OK engagement if they hung back enough to get all five MACs on target and then focused down one or the other targets with the autos and archers. Still would've lost three ships but thats a normal UNSC loss ratio for frigates of that class.

If you read any of the books, that's about how long humanity lasted in a ship to ship orbital fight with the Covenant above Reach. It was a slaughter.

Halo is a multi-billion dollar franchise. There is NO excuse for the fans to be putting out better Halo content than the fucking owners of the IP!!

in the books this is exactly how it's described. for every win on the ground, an even bigger defeat in space. most of unsc space battles were stalling actions for evacuations or suicide bombing runs. and if I remember correctly the distances between them are so far, that you need onboard computers to calculate your shots. in here you can see things clearly beause, the covenant ships are just that big.

Tbh it's cause Ground wise Humanity had much better odds, plus the Covenant ships having shield where UNSC did not, if the UNSC had any Sheilding then the odds in space would have been a bit fairer, not necessarily by much though But on the Ground, UNSC could hunker down and put up a good fight until either ran out of supplies or the Covenant came and glassed the planet

I really wish this was a thing in Destiny 2 even though we’ve seen this kind of combat more in the Halo games. I remember that space station mission on Reach, that was my favorite one.

I expected a random ass ODP to just smack the cruiser after the Frigates were destroyed. (mostly due to the lack of friendly fire seeming the Frigates are all destroyed.)

Why are the broadswords flying right into a CCS Battlecruiser's line of fire? Who trained these pilots?

If i recall correctly a corvette is pretty weak compare to a battlecruiser to the point the UNSC Commonwealth a Paris class frigate was able to 1v1 one and came out alive (tho half of the ship along with the MAC was destroyed)

Now I see why the UNSC typically needed 3-1 numbers just for an even fight….

Nicely done! Good job :)

Pretty sure that little covenant ship at the end dont have a weapon on the top that can just one hit a frigate, also why the frigates barely used their macs?

@any Halo subject matter experts: I get that the Covenants had much more advanced shield technologies, but I feel like no matter what the Mach guns still appeared to have the potential to overheat their shields thru saturation. I'm just wondering how many shots of Mach gun does it take to do so. Because clearly even a single shot seems to have a reaction on their shield and all their shields eventually overheat and break open. Could it be safe to assume at least 5-6 consecutive shots could compromise their shields?

I don’t know why a frigate would slam head on into another ship? And the broadswords flew right into fire and didn’t fire a single shot. Also only one frigate fired it’s MAC gun and UNSC frigate were effective like this formation. They could have taken the pair. SDV corvettes I believe don’t have shields. It should have been the first taken down in seconds.

Could you post a video on how you make these? Great Video!
