Made this and life continued on, only to come back to all these great comments from other Halo fans! I appreciate all the kind words and discussion! More to come!
EDIT: Most recent! th-cam.com/video/l1EkDdrggBk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v8-_A-PlQETuIJKX
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!
Space battles are the most awesome ones! For example the little clip of the infinity going into battle when majestic arrived at requiem was one of the few but awesome scenes ever!
@@victordavalos246 You mean when she rammed her way through an armored cruiser as she was coming out of slip space?
Judging by the current stuff going on with 343 maybe a different gaming studio could dedicate an entire Halo game about space battles!
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.
They should make a game like that. Something similar to Squadrons or something!
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 books always said that Master Chief was always uneasy when in space, with having the lack of control of being on board and the overwhelming superiority of the Covenant in space....I can see why...😳
Subbed this was well made!
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.
gotta love that algorithm
Glad you liked it! I was pleasantly surprised today that the algorithm chose it
It was terrifying when the Covenant Battlecruiser rammed the UNSC heavy frigate to pieces, and it was more terrifying when it finished off two remaining frigates effortlessly, then headed off to commence the glassing operation down the planet below.
i dont think those small ship are used for glassing, i think only the bigger one are.
@@angerskarin9222 any covenant ship can perform glassing. Just the larger ones do it better
@@angerskarin9222 It was a CCS-class Battlecruiser; it's one of the primary glassing ships.
UNSC infinity revenge that frigate 20 years later*
It’s more likely that the cruiser went down to begin planetary invasion. Still terrifying at the thought of the defenceless people on the planet
This battle in space
Perfect example of the Unsc efforts for 27 years against the Covenant invasion
Hopeless endeavor
Taking out 1 covie ship required like 3 UNSC ships
@@obiwankenobi3574 exactly yep
Well visually good, tactically not so. Only two fired MAC, the optimus way to fight would be that the frigates are more separated between them, so they dont have to lose time turning the ship 180 degrees. Anyways, good clip
@@obiwankenobi3574 They did the best they could seeing how technologically they were outclassed.
The only times the UNSC won in a space battle was via pyrrhic means.
@@obiwankenobi3574more like 4, because their K/D was 3:1 which means they need another ship to survive in order to have won
Bruh the fans are doing more to Halo then 343 ever did. Amazing work!
and bungie dont be a bungieliever
@@brianalejandro2502 🤡🤡🤡
@@brianalejandro2502 Well, without Bungie you wouldn't have the series, so that was a pretty dumb comment.
@@TonyTuffNutz dumb comment is believe that we are talking about creation and not about innovating in other areas of the Halo universe such as space battles....
@@brianalejandro2502 tbh, I think the fan base somewhat holds halo back as well, at least lore wise, I saw a pole asking what kind of halo story people want to be told and at least more than 70% voted masterchief
Love it can you make more halo space battles?
That’s the plan!
@@brussellstudios nice
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.
Seconded. Highly recommended and great team working on it
Has anyone heard any news about Sins of the Prophets 2?
Absolutely love the CCS class devastating the battlefield
Great stuff. I always loved the hopeless struggle that was the UNSC vs Covenant fleets.
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.
Any Halo content like this deserves way more attention. Really good man!
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
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!
For every one ship of there's that was destroyed, three of ours were destroyed.
I noticed the detail when you used UNSC tactics against covenant ship shielding, very nice!!!
Canonically accurate
Love it
i feel lke CCS battlecrusiers were just flying guns then wow! I never knew about those big plasma lasers in the top there at the end
De hecho las fragatas son mucho más pequeñas y literalmente serian destrozadas por los cañones de plasma del supercrusero
Ehhhh not entirely
Corvettes don’t have plasma lances
Unsc frigates have archer missiles, they should use them
@@lycanlass oh yeah plasma lances
Very powerful
@@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.
The opening especially feels very Expansey with the music and tension put together, I absolutely fucking love it
“ wow I take that back, the Navy got its butt kicked! “
-Romeo
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. :)
I need more space battles even if its loss after loss, planet after planet.
This was awesome! Amazing work
What a nice surprise to find in my recommended.
this right here is done incredibly well btw.
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.
absolutely obsessed with the coordination of the first frigate hitting the corvette(?) with a mac round and the second opening up with archers
This is super cool! I love the last shot, with the Covenant ship taking out so many ships at once!
Nice work!
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
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.
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.
Those fighter pilots deserved that for flying into fire like that.
This gets the Captain Keyes seal of approval!
That’s awesome man!
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 was incredible.
Nicely done! Good job :)
Very cool video. And went about as well as you'd expect for the unsc until after the war
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.
Great video, I was about to say Broadswords were a post war thing but they had actually been on production since the 2530s
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
Sins of the prophets 2 looking great
awesome work
A bit of polishing, and this could make something really incredible!
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!
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
Surprised the Covenant won this, most animations that I've seen had the UNSC win.
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 want to PLAY this, space battles like these have a lot of potential
Check out the game, Sins of a Solar Empire, which has a total conversion mod called, Sins of the Prophets which basically turns it into UNSC vs Covenant space battle rts game
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
The algorithm has blessed you this day.
Made my day
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.
Lore-accurate halo space battle
This battle ended exactly as I expected 😂
very cool nice work
the promises of Halo Wars 3... how much we miss You
You know what I need? I need the battle of Reach just like it happened in the book
This is really good
Just a few things, unsc ships have missiles they should use them, covenant corvette’s don’t have plasma lances they main ship to ship weapons being heavy plasma cannons that a unsc frigate can definitely withstand a few salvos of.
The ccs tho was done really well with its plasma torpedos and plasma lance just absolutely dominating the unsc frigates also seeing the corvette’s reactor get nailed by a mac round and take out the ship with the resulting explosion was really good.
Could you post a video on how you make these? Great Video!
I have then thinking of doing that. It’s all in unreal engine.
Amazing that they were even able to take out the Corvette
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)
The overal setup of the battle iz cool!
However the lack of post processing is really noticeable. It takes off points from making shot to look really cinematic.
UNSC-COVYS INBOUND
CONVENANT-This won’t take long soldiers
As it turns out, space has lots of space. None of those vessels would be that close to each other
Note that Covenant ships are usually depowered when exiting slipspace.
My only problem is the broadswords after all they are post war aircraft vs the unscs longsword and shortsword and sabre defence program
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.
That MAC shot! 👌
Loved it i hope 343i makes space battles about halo. Just like the cut content from halo wars 3. But more than that. I mean space battle animation or movies. Something like halo 4 spartan ops opening cutscene where unsc infinity fought the covenant. But a little bit with more population at war, longer and more firing and tactics. We only saw space battles in comics
@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?
Well done
1:40 That feeling of utter frustration when your buddies jump right into your firing lane. 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Bravo! Bravo!!! Bravo!!!👏👏👏👏
Did the UNSC ships get to shoot one of their MAC cannons in this? still, awesome video!!
This makes me want to talk to the team behind Sins of the Prophets to see if I can get access to their models and animate some cool shit.
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....
Nice work 😁 I've been working on my own animation as well
Just goes to show how brutal space combat is in Halo and how outclassed the UNSC's navy was. Just think how many lives were lost in just over 2 minutes.
I would love to see Freespace 1&2(maybe3) done in ue5!
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
That was cool
This is amazing
Are you doing more ?
Hopefully
And. . .thats another colony world about to be wiped off the map
Damn - all that effort to just take out one Corvette, huh
Why are the broadswords flying right into a CCS Battlecruiser's line of fire? Who trained these pilots?
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.
Halo had potential for everything space battles, normal fps, exploration games, elite based games, covenant based games and they flushed it down the toilet
they needed a think to outmer numebr covernt 3-5 unsc ships to one covernet deping on the coventship cassese
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?
I could have swore covenant ships didn't have shields right after using slipspace or did i remember that wrong?
if a unsc ship scraps a covenant ship would that destroy the shield on the covenant ship and do some damage to the hull on both ships?
Great details, well done and lore accurate, fighters would have been longswords though(nitpick).
Well actually the broadsword fighters were completed andass produced in 2535 and war ended in 2552 so this is possible
And massed*
@King Seb22 possible yes. Similar to saying that the f22 is being mass produced, but it isn't the main fighter. broadswords were meant for dogfights in space against covenant equivalents. Longswords were the standard in most ships.
Actually it's like the f35 it is a multirole fighter i can carry SHIVA nuclear missiles for ships and can carry rockets for ground targets and enemy fighters
@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.
Nice
Awesome
Lore accurate.
Maybe 1 more Marathon class cruiser to win that fight.
Can you do the 2553 Battle of Cairo Station?.
