shouldn’t it be “ the domain will be with you, always” ?
Ah I like that. Yeah I'm trying to figure an ending out.
No I think it should be "may the ancestors be with you, always"
Spartans never die

I hate the size issue in Halo... I'm tryna make a ship to ship game for this and I'm trying to stay in line with lore... Even though it's flipping broken
@@navb0tactual what kind of game?
We just do circuit loops........totally makes sense.........
@@georgeadams2555 🤫
@@georgeadams2555 I won't lie, I'm absolutely dog shit at making games so it is my hobby at the moment... It's very similar to that Halo Reach modder who has made the frigates, Corvettes, Cruisers, and Carriers flyable... As well as all the fighters...
I have no game play because I'm a basic bitch using Unity Engine... Which isn't really built for this :P
I might try UE4 but we'll see...
Honestly someone else will probably have it done waayyy before I even get anything near polished. I'm really slow and have crippling procrastination issues...

*Remembers the 3km long racetrack on a 1.7km long ship* You're damn right it is!
That was just for gameplay reason, to make the warthog run last long enough to give us that adrenaline rush
lol

We all like minded have been born 300 years too early.
Does slipspace have floating particles in it? Travelling at high velocities a speck of dust can puncture a hole in the hull.
How to win naval combat?
UNSC: Flying Sniper Rifles
Getting no scopes even in space :P
Damn right
Without camuflage to look like asteroides :/
See, I want a UNSC ship which is literally just a MAC gun with engines strapped to it. No Archer Missile pods, minimal point defense, armor thin as toilet paper, a tiny crew size. It's only purpose is to be a big gun which shoots things, while being stupidly easy to produce.
Now THAT'S the pinnacle of UNSC engineering. I mean, who needs armor when you're just gonna get blown up by a single plasma torpedo anyways?
@@downrangecash2418
In the future thick armor and kinetic weapon will be not used.
The reason the numbers are "off" is because the Pillar of Autumn is a completely second refit over the original refit. The Autumn was a one time massive upgrade with some of the best technology and equipment available to the UNSC at the time. It is why that refit pattern became the basis for the new Autumn class Heavy Cruiser post war.

I finally have another source for halo ship’s information for my personal story Thanks
Awesome!
@@MetaNerdzLore Out of curiosity, what made you decide to cover Halo?
@@MetaNerdzLore Do you think you can also try covering the UNSC Infinity? I know a small bit, but I barely scratched the surface
Halopedia, my dude. They've got all the data you could ever need.
Leftyjr_Gaming dude I get you lol, I would love if they did one on Forward Unto Dawn! That’s the the kind of ship in my personal story/head cannon
So your finally doing other sci fi ships awesome.

How about the little known history of the Spirit of Fire.
I’m most excited for future content!

One thing that was missed is that the Halcyon class isn't rated for atmosphere, which is why in Halo Reach it has those side thrusters to get it out of the dock
Discrepancy !
Or, reason for the Discrepancy. The Autumn was specially modified for Operation Red Flag. Prototype laser cooled reactors, a three shot burst capable MAC, and half of its hanger space converted into hidden Archer pods. All on the starboard, right, side if i remember correctly. So she had the 36 external, PLUS the 300 internal.
source, the novel "Fall of Reach"
Correct. I think the retrofit was even more extensive than that, too. It's definitely not a standard Halcyon cruiser.
@@cyberspectre8675 Tougher, faster, stronger. Plus more troop space.
The UNSC used the refit specs to create the Autumn-class heavy cruiser of the post-war era.
@@cyberspectre8675 in the novel, The Autumn was beasting her way back from the outer rings when the main push for Reach happened. Rolling over any corvettes or frigates that got in her way. Usually on the first salvo. Very much a wolf in sheep's clothing.
@@KillerOrca I've seen that too on the halo Wikis... but the stats listed don't seem to match that statement.
Maybe all the extra upgrades of the Autumn class are classified? =P
Also to be noted: The halcyon class cruisers were out of commision, being scrapped for parts because the model was so old and basically obselete. Autumn was recommissioned specifically for operation red flag.
Correct me if im wrong, I’ve only listened the first book as audio book. Reading sticks better in memory.
"these ships were designed to take on insurgents"
"massive spinally mounted magnetic acceleration cannon that transforms the ship into a gun"
Scary insurgents.
Actually, the insurgents really were a threat. They were throwing nukes on civilians, for one.
@@Timjer92 yeah iirc, the insurgents once snuck a nuke into a major city on some planet and detonated it in the streets
Yep. The insurgents were some crazy sons of b*tches. They’re part of the reason why the Spartan program was created. Also indirectly they are part of the reason humanity was getting prepared for the eventual human covenant war. So if not for the insurgents and possibly some luck. Humanity would’ve been wiped a lot sooner than expected.
They had rag tag fleets of stolen ships.
Take from today’s history they probably would put nukes in cargo ships and put them on a collision course with unsc ships.
You’d want to snipe them out the sky before they got close too
insurgents captured their own ships sometimes, gotta blast them with gigatons of kinetic energy
"Tis a flesh wound!."
Gets plasma, boarded, blown up etc.
"COME BACK I'LL BITE YOUR BLOODY LEGS OFF!"
-Pillar of Autumn, crashed on Alpha Halo.
...and then it did. By blowing itself up.
"Tis but a scratch!"
"A scratch?! Your torso's off!"
"Tis a flesh wound" ........ should be the motto of this class 😀
“Ive had worse”
th-cam.com/video/G4XBA5xI6f4/w-d-xo.html
I heard the ODPs have a deadly force of around 48 gigatons. That's pretty powerful imagine what a Forerunner ODP can do.
Actually, its 51.6 gigatons (I ran the numbers through a kinetic energy calculator at omnicalculator.com/physics/kinetic-energy and converted the given megajoules into gigatons), but you got pretty close. For some bizarre reason, despite the stated mass and velocity numbers given by the main article at halo.fandom.com/wiki/Orbital_Defense_Platform, the trivia section for that same article gives a TNT equivalent of only 1.3 gigatons per shot, clearly whichever idiot wrote that down didn't bother to do the math(s) properly.
@@TruePacifist201
Thank you for that.
@@thorshammer7883 No problem.
Also I don't think the forunners would utilise kinetic weapons like Mac's I've never heard of forunners using stuff like that only Hard Light weapons
@@TruePacifist201 Um...shouldn't special relativity be used since they go at like hald lightspeed, which would put it in the tens of teratons range?
I'm already hyped for the breakdown of covenant ships (the CCS-class especially!,).
IIRC the Pillar of Autumn was specially outfitted for a deep penetration mission to capture Covenant leadership, so that could account for the discrepancy in missile pods.
Love halo can’t wait for halo infinite
Yeah for real
MetaNerdz Lore is halo infinite Releasing for Xbox one and series x and pc ?????
@@cinematicplays2644 all 3
Arc for halo infinite Xbox one series x and pc ????
Shadow blue Gamer yeah all the current gen Xbox’s (one, one s, and one x) along with the series x and pc will be getting halo infinite
6:12 I didn't know that the UNSC has lightsabers
HA! ... Yeah, cant count the number of times i've used that joke when moving aircraft on the flight line. =D
Those are guiding lights. Star Wars has thoses.
UNSC version of the covenant energy dagger
Those are actually LightDaggers, they're identical to the sabers, just shorter, and used by the space rouges.
I know I’m late but this is important
Should be noted that the Pillar of Autumn itself had an overhaul of its weapons, which is what causes the discrepancy.
It’s Mac could fire three times before needing to cool down, allowing it to single handedly tear through any covenant shield known at the time, meanwhile most other ships needed to have two Macs in it to perform the same stunt.
It had more stuff, including the archer missile pods.
The reason is because the mission they were planning was to kidnap a covenant leadership and needed a ship that would survive.
They chose the halcyon class due to its survival ratio and stuffed it with their most cutting edge tech, including the Spartans, right up until Reach got attacked.
You once told me in a live stream q and a that you wouldn't move from star wars content, thanks for suprising me!
A surprise to be sure, but I hope a welcome one lol
Yeah but how many Dewbacks can it hold..?
th-cam.com/video/G4XBA5xI6f4/w-d-xo.html
At least 2
So, Metanerdz. Is there a chance you might have a guest-starring Eckhartsladder?
You two would make a great duo for sci-fi geeks everywhere.
Maybe one day
MetaNerdz Lore yay
Manufacturing on Mars? Happy mechanicus noises
Yea in the halo universe they have a large shipyard in Mars. You can see it in one of the halo 3 trailers.
Star Trek, Warhammer 40K and now Halo. Who doesn't use Mars to build ships.
4:26 Ok, the reason for the discrepancy is that the Pillar of Autumn whose stats you're using for the larger number, wasn't a normal Halcyon class cruiser. She was specially re-fitted for Operation: Red Flag, a UNSC plan to capture a Covenant Prophet, and use them to negotiate a ceasefire. This partly involved them boarding and capturing a Covernant ship to take back to the then unknown Covenant homeworld without destroying it. As a result, the Pillar of Autumn was heavily modified. It's covered extensively throughout the novels The Fall of Reach, First Strike, and to an extent The Flood.
You also need to be careful not to confuse the Halcyon's with similar-looking but very different Marathon Class Heavy Cruiser. They have a similar looking space frame but the Marathon is larger and heavier armed than a standard Halcyon.
Other than that, not a bad video. Suggest checking some of the Halo wikia articles, they're well put together on the different ship classes and have good referencing to the source material.

Thanks!
@@MetaNerdzLore your welcome
th-cam.com/video/G4XBA5xI6f4/w-d-xo.html
hey meta nerd i worked on several US navy vessels and i wanted you to know that the reason they had so many missiles was most likely they were the missile pod reloads. once fired the pods could be reloaded from within the ships main magazine much like current navy vessels.
UNSC? AND ONE MINUTE EARLY? Todays gonna be a good day
Hope you like it!
It should also be noted that the Pillar of Autumn was a special case as it's original objective was to go deep in enemy space and attempt to capture a Prophet. It also had 2 AIs as Cortana was apart of the Spartan detachment that was supposed to be on board
According to Installation 00 and several other Halo Lore Masters, the Actual Size of Halo ships is 2.65 times Larger than what is listed (this is based in part by the size of the Longsword Fighter and Launch Bay 7 in CE's Final Cutscene). This makes the Autumn 3,100.5 m long, 932.8 m wide, 1,097.1 m tall, and weighing in at 28.5 Million Metric Tons. That size allows for the Dozens of point defense guns and 832 Archer Pods on the ship to actually Fit, as the Original size was insufficient (even the Longsword in the Cutscene was too big for the Original Size).
More coming on that subject. Stay tuned. Much Love.
Already found an inconsistency with the lore. XD. Ships only 1km long but the final mission of Halo CE, the Maw has you drive across the ship in a warthog for 2km. Obviously not your fault. just stats not matchin games
Yeah, that was one example of the level being made much bigger just for gameplay purposes. Otherwise Halo is mostly very consistent with its lore.
@@Timjer92 I assumed that would be the case, Lore should always come after gameplay, rather than restrain it.
@@Timjer92 They also altered the ship Chief was stuck on going from Halo 3 to 4. The version in 4 is much larger. www.halopedia.org/File:FUD_H3-Hyperion_H4-scaled2.jpg
There are several inconsistencies with the Halcyon's size, but this is all whats been confirmed to be official
You have to remember that during the warthog run you take twists and turns jumps as well so that will add some distance
Cortana didn't look down on the the Pillar of Autumn, she was impressed by it. She specifically picked it because of its structural strengths at a time when earth ships were getting swatted out of the sky from catastrophic shots. in her first battle, she took out a covenant supercarrier on her own
Yes! The moment we’ve been waiting for! Halo is just as extensive as the EU in Star Wars! Keep up the awesome content!
Nice video, I hope to see more Halo content from you in the future. Keep up the awesome work.
I forget which Halo book it was but Cortana was allowed to pick her own ship, and she specifically chose the Pillar of Autumn over more advanced UNSC ships because of its ability to take a beating with the honeycomb construction.
Small error the pillar of autumn was a even more heavily refit ship for UNSC operation RED FLAG so that can explain the archer missile numbers being off
Man I'm pretty lucky, just when I start playing Halo instead of battlefront 2 this appears
Now I’ll click faster to find more halo vids
The infinity is going on my like and saved vids
The Halcyon and Marathon classes are among my favorite ships in all of science fiction.
arbington
USS Excelsior, Jt-327 Nubian,
Arwing and TARDIS
I kinda prefer this to the new Infinity-class. They feel more grounded and realistic, to some extent.
Oh shit! Halo! Nice to see your expanding out from Star Wars! I’ve been wanting to play Halo a lot recently. If I could humbly request, could you please look at some of the ships & vehicles from call of duty infinite warfare? Keep up the good work!
Oooh good idea!
Alex Boehm The Olympus mons!
There is a descrepensy from keys because he's a terrible captain
1. He had no idea about the covanents ship capabilities
2. He did not have a loaded firearm on him during a red alert
3. He fails to scuttle his ship once he knows covanent boarding parties have overrun his ship
4. Finally he allows himself to be captured.... Twice! Probably because he's the marine who never has a loaded firearm in a warzone
1. He has fought Covvies before. Keyes commanded a destroyer (Iroquois) before the events of Reach and CE.
2. He didn’t carry his sidearm loaded as he’s probably busy commanding instead of fighting. There would likely be marines nearby for protection anyways (or any shipborne infantry really).
3. With how armoured and structurally resilient the Autumn is, not sure how well that’d work. Plus, they have a place they can land on nearby, why scuttle your ship with all hands when you can bail out to a safe place and fight another day?
4. He didn’t allow himself to be captured. First time he was betrayed by a bridge crew. Second time he was under possession by the Flood. Also, he’s a navy sailor (or crewman however you want to call it), not a marine. A marine is by definition; an infantryman who served onboard ships. A sailor/crewman, while probably trained on firearms to a degree, aren’t supposed to fight as naval infantry (marine) as they aren’t trained or equipped for such a thing.
@@HaloFTW55 so he forgot his distinguished navel career as an officer
*SPOILERS*
The pillar of autumn can literally be scuttled by throwing a grenade into a couple pipes
Navel officers at this point have been fighting in boarding action and executing mutineers for thousands of years by the discovery of the first ring I don't know if people say it were your from but "a captain always goes down with his ship"
4:30 I think the discrepancy is because of the Autumn being modified further as it was meant to be the ship for Operation Red Flag...
TL dr ship takes Spartans to capture a high prophet to negotiate peace with the covenant.
But then they found Reach because of a tracker hidden inside of the UNSC Iroquois' Haul
So shit hit the fan fast
If it already hasn't of course
Um.. at 6:11 - I think you'll find that the middle one of those "scanners" is actually the Lower Bow Emplacement of one of the eight Mark 33 Spitfire Coil-gun batteries. (it's upside down) You can see it clearly at 4:42. Also the cut-away diagram does not show the location of the Mark 33 Side emplacements, Which are supposed to be mounted at the forward section of the hull in front of the dual side batteries - in front of the lateral recessed area amidships, Directly below where the rear of the MAC system is in the cut-away diagram (except obviously on the external hull. They can also be seen in the Halo: CE Anniversary model, again at 4:42.
Also, at 3:09 - those aren't some of the "40 - M910 Rampart" point defences.. Someone has definitely messed up, especially the modeller of the 3D diagram of the M910 ramparts that you used the blue image of here... 40 of guns that size would be WILDLY more noticeable and the Autumn would be LITERALLY COVERED in turrets if the point defence guns were that size. The Autumn is just over a kilometre long. Those are a LOT bigger than 50mm... I'd say they are two of the "6 - M66 Auto-cannon" emplacements (given their position and assuming that one would be cut-away to show the internals, there should be 3 each side - probably for a hybrid of powerful point defence for larger strike craft and more broadside DPS against smaller capital class ships, essentially). You can see some of the "18 - M910 Rampart" point defence guns above the MAC barrel, on the external dorsal area above the bow and on the very bottom of the cut-away diagram amidships (Directly below the M66 Auto-cannons I pointed out earlier).
Edited - Autocorrect...
I like that you doing some out of Star Wars content and Halo is definitely a good start but I think when doing these videos you should compare out of univers tech with its Star Wars counterparts.
Even in the remastered version, Keyes still had the wrong rank on his chest.
@@precisi0n86 hahaha
First
Yes more halo and it’s Medanerdz too. Oh and the Autumn’s MAC cannon fired in 3 round bursts.
I thought I mentioned that? It is in the script for sure
MetaNerds doing halo ships, DREAMS DO COME TRUE
The reason that the pillar of autumn was so heavily armed was because originally it was going to be used to go deep into covenant territory and capture a prophet to try and bargain for a peace
Awesome video man. I did a breakdown of the Autumn a good while ago. Totally my favourite ship. If this is your first venture into Halo content, gimme a shout for a collab some time.
Hey thanks for reaching out I love your channel. That would be awesome to work on something, idk if you saw but other people in the comments were mentioning you. Thanks again I'll look up your email on the about page and get in touch later today.
This would be incredible
I heard or read that the PoA had a faster recharge time. Being able to shoot one shot at full power or 3 shots at less power. Idk if u mentioned that. Also, it was the only ship to last against a covenant battle group for such a long time while also taking down 3+ covenant ships
The trick to the Autumns MAC was that it could fire three shots successively on one full charge due to field recyclers and booster capacitors. Not only that but the round fired was lighter, without sacrificing any of the stopping power. It was a tungsten titanium core with a tungsten carbide outer layer that splintered upon impact. Kinda like a hollowpoint. Also the reactor was the first of its kind and could run at 300% overcapacity for a short time drastically increasing charge times and sublight speeds.
As far as the question of why the missile numbers having a discrepancy. The "pillar of autumn" had a bunch of custom upgrades for its mission specific mission. The quote from captain keys was specifically referring to one of the docking bays being entirely replaced with missile pods.
Great video! You should do a breakdown on a battlestar from battlestar galactica, or the ships from the expanse!
thank you so much!!!!
Start making films about Warhammer 30/40k PLS
Coming very soon. Like a day or two
Metanerdz does Halo breakdown

there's a lot of description of these ships' tactical abilities in some of the Halo novels as well. Those were fun to read.
You guys just keep getting more awesome
Hell yeah brother I'm excited to see more halo from you
1:06 Just saying but what you're highlighting is the Marathon class cruiser.

Well well, what's better then Metanerdz doing star wars stuff? Its Metanerdz doing Halo stuff!
@MetaNerdZ Lore
Maybe a breakdown of the RX-78-2 Gundam?
Great video. Can you do videos involving the possibility of sci fi becoming reality. For instance wireless energy transfer like the reactors on Reach to the ODPs, A.Is and shields.
Yeah that would be cool
MetaNerdz Lore also can you do character profiles. It’s hardly done.
This is a great video! I want more halo videos!
You mentioned gundam . I’ve saw rgm-89 jegan and ra- cailum class battlecruiser from mobile suit gundam: char’s counterattack
So glad you're opening up this channel to other franchises. Metanerdz you continue to be one of my favorite channels when it came to Star Wars and now you might be my go to for other franchises as well 😊.
Always happy to see more Halo
Can you also breakdown war hammer 40k ships
Yeah we got some 40k coming this week
MetaNerdz Lore yay thx I love 40k
I love your stars wars video, but also as an avid halo fan, I have notice many mistakes in this video, for example, the POA is a specially refitted halcyon class light cruiser specifically for operation RED FLAG, therefore the discrepancy between POA and other halcyon ships are correct, that's just one of the mistakes, plus you had displayed a marathon class cruiser instead of the halcyon as well
So the cross section stats are for the Pillar of Autumn when it got the refits to improve it from the regular Halcyon, but those are the stats before OP Red Flag? If so that makes sense, and thanks. For the second point when was that in the vid?
You have to remember that the racetrack has twists and turns, probably making up for the extra 1.3 kilometers.
What is this Heresy on my star wars channel! great video
I'd love to see more Sci-Fi universes for example ,Star Trek, Star Gate and etc
The Autumn’s length is a reference to Master Chief’s number, John 117
Fun fact
Any/all ships in HALO Larger than a Halberd are actually 2.65x the size given by the lore
You little beauty.
Hell yes! HALO!! l
I've watched many of these before ,I'm watching it from you as your amazing.
Thanks man glad to hear it!
How this ship was made :
"I want a giant rail gun"
"We can do tha--"
"Wait, no! A giant rail gun that can *_FLY"_*
"...w-we can do that"
The Pillar of Autumn was gonna be used in an infiltration mission to capture a Prophet. I think it was chosen for its honeycombed makeup and its armament retrofitted for this task. It was gonna carry a large number of Spartans and Helljumpers, and was gonna go deep into enemy space.
I think Cortana chose this ship for its structure and Keyes was chosen because he was familiar with the Spartan program and he could keep a secret.
An iconic ship, nicely designed.
Man the old halo art style was so much better, Glad to see the halo content! Do Elephant!
Thank you for giving halo and a halcyon some love
Ah the pillar of autumn. The flying giant Nokia of humanity with a hell of a punch.
6:08 scanner antenna array, spitfire coilgun, probe launcher* from left to right.
Cortana: *Your architecture isnt that mutch different from the Autums*
Chief: *Dont get any funny ideas*
My mind: *Dirty mind activated*
The crew size of the Pillar of Autumn always bugged me. 1000, for a 1km long ship weighting 9 million metric ton, for a ship that seem to combine the role of a troop carrier, aircraft carrier and battleship.
To give you a comparison, the Charles de Gaulles, France's aircraft carrier has 1200 sailor to crew him, not including the 600 crew of the aircraft part of the ship. And bigger US aircraft carrier of the Gerald Ford class have 2600 crewmember.
Not start wars related?!? Interesting 👌🏾. Mcu next
This is a new one. Honestly didn't think you'd ever cover Halo.
I saw this and was very confused about a Halo Metanerds video...
Very late, but I just wanted to point out the ship circled in the size comparison is a Marathon class.
"Shiva-class nuclear warhead" is such an epic name because it's a direct reference to the God of destruction Shiva
The name is well deserved too, in the comics it punched a hole through a covenant ship's shielding and took a chunk off it's front.
@@m4x927 i don't read halo comics but i can imagine the damage based on the games
Really liked and enjoyed watching this.
One of my MOST favorite ships in Halo!!!
Hope you'll do more, not only Halo, but others from different series.
It's currently 4 AM my dudes.
You don't use raw Titanium to build a ship, you use Titanium to make an alloy to build a ship!
Also, why do you try to fix the lore? When Keyes stated in "the Fall of Reach" that the ship has amount x of archer missile pods and halo warships states it has the amount y, it's because the folks at 343 don't do proper research of things that were already mentioned in books....
Brilliant video! I'm so glad you're style of analytical breakdowns can be turned onto other franchises. I love Halo and I hope you do more of these style videos in the Halo universe!
Also, where the bloody hell does the warthog run section take place on the Autumn? 😅
A non Star Wars video!? What is this madness!?
Love the vid anyway. :)
I always wonder what the pilar of autumn influence of.After knowing it's influence by one of my favorite anime Gundam it become one of my favorite ship.
WARHAMMER!
Coming soon, like a day or two
@@MetaNerdzLore BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! *Thank you.*
It's longer than an ISD. I think you know where I"m going.
Actually, the Halcyon-class is 430 meters *shorter* than an ISD. No offence meant here, but you really need to pay attention to the numbers given.
@@TruePacifist201 oh, oof. I thought it said 1,700 meters not 1,170. But it's still longer than a Venator-class.
The halcyon was pulled from service, due to pencil pushing burocrats, the design was complicated but could survive damage that would destroy marathon, the best designed ship in halo if poorly armed,
Do More Ships from Halo
Speaking of Gundam, I would be interested if you do a breakdown on some of the ships from the Gundam franchise, like the Pegasus-class, for example.
this design doesnt makes sense with the final level
