Halo Space Battle

[UkuleleLover117]

Imagine how much missiles missed the covenant ships.

[xiaogunman]

Hey look, it's what we all thought Halo Reach was going to be!

[tpritcha100]

Longsword interceptors are the most badass looking thing in the entire Halo series! (Not to say everything isn't badass, cause everything IS badass)

[halowraith1]

Why the FUCK are the Covenant using Heretic Seraphs?

[HUNTER21511]

@halowraith1 the covenant use seraphs the seraphs the heretics use are stolen or captured because all the heretics were once covenant

[halowraith1]

@HUNTER21511 yes, the Heretic Seraphs are white and Purple, while the Covenant Seraphs are just Purple.

[HUNTER21511]

@halowraith1 yeah because the heretics probably painted them to distinguish them from covenant in battle i guess when who ever made this only had heretic seraph models :)

[LithuanianLabas]

God dang though. Halo 2 looks like shit now that I look back...

[xG4m3r4Lif3x]

Why was there so many Halcyon cruisers? There was only one re-commissioned Halcyon class cruiser which was the Pillar of Autumn. So i dont understand why there are so many.



[k0rkscr3w]

@xG4m3r4Lif3x I think they used them in desperate situations, after all, they were not all supposedly scrapped or decomisioned.

[jonitis117]

@xG4m3r4Lif3x the pillar of autmn was thr first f its kind more of a prototype , the PA was actually a really good ship for its size and had good armour and ammunition

[suspicious35]

@jonitis117 Super efficient reactor to and rapid fire MAC

[jonitis117]

@suspicious35 and the rounds it fire were like shredder rounds , halo nerds unite lol

[xG4m3r4Lif3x]

@jonitis117 Don't forget its 40 point defense machine guns and 300 archer missile pods, and yes halo nerds unite.

[suspicious35]

@xG4m3r4Lif3x All the way. Do you have a favorite colony?

[02Tony]

Thank you for the video, I always wanted to know what a space battle looked like since you hardly see it anywhere in the games but you always read it in the books.

[Alexodia]

No wonder they lost in space... they consistently shot at different targets instead of concentrating their fire.

-officer- fire all weapons

-ensign- at what

-officer- I dont care i just dont want to fill out the paperwork for unused ammo.

-ensign in escape pod- aye aye sir -ensign escapes-

[lordmat11]

What ship is this? 1:23

[eacao]

@lordmat11 stubby little mofo

[nejiiuyn]

dude u know whats funny before the thing popped up i wasnt confused when it did pop up and i read it i was confused

[killerman9965]

MC: Permission to leave the station?

Hood: Why?

MC: To give the covenant back their bomb.

[TheJasonm10]

@killerman9965  as long as he has the reciept

[MrDbtx]

no i need a weapon

[devilsmarksman]

those mac cannons didnt look like they where going 30,000 meters per second

[TheMohguy]

whats the name of the space battle video???

[that1dude0092]

@TheMohguy its a halo 2 machinima called "Heretic" its a prequel to "The codex"

[dowww21]

i dont get it UNSC ships dont have that advanced slip space technology to slips space in a fleet with out being scattered

[Gibbons3457]

@dowww21 They do have Smart AI's which compensate for that though. So they could but ONLY with an AI like Cortana.

[MrUndergroundtattoos]

lol i need a weapon

[TheKatamariguy]

1:23 what's that ship?

[CrystalNidoking]

@TheKatamariguy i think its supposed to be a frigate

[DarksuppreserAce96]

@TheKatamariguy it's suppose to be a light corvette

[mrawesometechnoguy]

Plasma torpedoes? Seriously? They oversized them. That looked more like a blast of plasma fired from the lateral lines of the Covenant ships.  Usually those can destroy UNSC ships in one or two hits.

[Jac0bBau3r1995]

Tis is the only competetor for the epic battle in the forgoten spartans ep 9

[mrlonerme]

swear, this battle is way more epic than the battle w/ the long night of solace

[AHPcameron]

Good Jop

[TheMADHOUSE68]

great work, but i remember seeing some of those fights in a series i watched on youtube but i forgot there names, can you tell me or possibly give me a link (one of the battles with those halcyon and frigate, and something about a spartan group, red or blue smthng like that.

[bandofbrothersmovie]

@TheMADHOUSE68 It a miniseries was called "The Heretic" and was the prequel to the series called "The Codex."

[samyb1234]

@bandofbrothersmovie Yep that's right - it was all from the studio that did The Heretic.

As a side note, if I were uploading this video now I would have used the Halo 3 ODST opening scene into this when you see the drop pods - as in, those pods are the ODST characters. Would that have worked?

I was almost tempted to try it out and upload an updated version.

[bandofbrothersmovie]

@samyb1234 Yeah that would fit perfectly. I agree, tempting if I was in your position.

[Helezhelm]

Hmmm, after reading all books, It never mentioned that plasma torpedoes hitting the UNSC ship, causing instant kaboom. Which, it is wrong. Plasma actually does splash on the hull of Titanium-A, and leaving with gaping hole with molten slag. But it can explode if plasma torpedoes actually hit its reactors. However, it'd take several shots of plasma torpedoes to make UNSC Frigate to go ka boom or just drifting in space.

[Jac0bBau3r1995]

@Helezhelm awsome some one who knows there halo

[Helge129]

@Helezhelm IIRC A plasma torpedo can easily destroy a UNSC ship if it hits it head-on.

[mrsirwester]

@Helezhelm and why are the unsc ships firiring their mac guns

[z11223344]

@Helezhelm that wasn't a plasma torpedo, that looked more like a projected energy beam, which was mentioned in the books to destroy even capital ships in one shot.

[MAIDENrules100]

@Helezhelm This was made in 2008 mate and looking at the graphics too guy just didn't have the tech probs.

[LkVOIDREALM]

@Helezhelm Sadly it can take just one well aimed one to disable it. Stupid Covies

[HellDoggyjr]

bad thing about utube is dat i cant give this 10 thumbsup =(

[pepoun99]

Why unsc ships havent got shields??

[Helezhelm]

@pepoun99

Because UNSC didn't have tech to make shields for the ships. They recently managed to produce shields for SPARTANs.

[Helezhelm]

@pepoun99

That's because that UNSC's technology is not advanced enough.

[alvingooi]

The frigrate got destroyed by a blue thing... After the land battle the cruisers fire it... Is it like the MAC gun???

[SpazzyMcGee1337]

I always pictured the plasma torpedoes as much much smaller. They impact a UNSC ship, splash over the hull, and leave gaping hole lined with whit hot slag. The insta-splosion was no where near as satisfying as my mental images from the books. However this isn't a professional job so I could hardly expect more than this. Regardless, amazing work. This is video is a lot better than I would have expected form YouTube.

[alvingooi]

@TBEClanMovies if plasma can melt through titanium A armor it could get to the reactor and it would explode

[alvingooi]

@TBEClanMovies the plasma i don't know but plasma can melt through titanium A plating just like butter that is why

[TBEClanMovies]

@alvingooi It wouldn't make a ship explode instantly.

[Bloodshark123]

this is amazing! What was this made with?

[TBEClanMovies]

I never understood why the Animator made the Plasma so big and why he made the ships explode after ONE plasma shot, It would take more than that unless it got to the FTL drive.

[thatguyoverthere45]

I hope there is a huge space battle in the Halo movie

[kedrednael]

@thatguyoverthere45 Wasn't the halo movie canceled a long time ago?

[thatguyoverthere45]

@kedrednael Yeah, but I hear from quite a few sources that it is back on track and coming out maybe in the next two years sometime. Dreamworks might be doing it off a book to avoid being sued by Fox and Universal. And I think Spielberg will be directing it :)

[tonychet2s]

y cant there be a game with vehicle only halo

[lukekellycopy]

part at the end leads to another vid where the marines have to find shelter

[EdikShepherd]

Someone needs to make another one of these utilizing models of ships in Reach such as the new corvettes and the animation for the Covenant ship-to-ship torpedoes.

[halo007Mex]

equal like sigma octanius

[AHighPwner]

is there one without the music?

[linkbest84]

at 1:45 , nuclear warhead

[megamuffin15]

@linkbest84 Actually it's a NOVA bomb, a nuke would probably do nothing against Covenant ships

[MRNU979]

@megamuffin15 a nova bomb would have destroyed earth.

[meshuggahismylife]

@megamuffin15 A nuke would effectively disable all ships in the blast radii shields. A NOVA Bomb would effectively destroy ALL ships, covenant AND UNSC, in the area, including the surface adjacent to the battle. The round fired at 1:45 is a MAC round, probably a depleted uranium round, heavy.

[skyalmond]

@meshuggahismylife Covie ships could shrug off VOLLIES of nukes, and then wipe out all UNSC ships nearby accordingly.

[meshuggahismylife]

@skyalmond The EMP and blast from the nuke would be sufficient enough to disable it's shields but doing minimal damage to the ship itself, only on a direct hit though..

[skyalmond]

@meshuggahismylife And your proof of this is where...?

[meshuggahismylife]

@skyalmond One of the halo books, don't remember exactly which.

[skyalmond]

@meshuggahismylife I think it's pretty convenient that you don't remember which book said this.

[meshuggahismylife]

@skyalmond Well, let's see if you can read 11 books after you've read the entire halo series. 

[meshuggahismylife]

@skyalmond I think it was the fall of reach, or contact: Harvest.

[skyalmond]

@meshuggahismylife It's too bad I've read them all. And no, they definitely didn't say anything of the sort in Harvest. And as for the Fall of Reach, that nuke was INSIDE the Covie ship, so the shield amplified the explosion.

[meshuggahismylife]

@skyalmond Then I musti've read it off of a wiki, can't trust them though.

[skyalmond]

@meshuggahismylife Exactly. :)

[nebecanezzer]

@skyalmond The covenant shield didnt amplify the explosion, it contained the nuke's explosion. saving the nearby UNSC ships.

[skyalmond]

@nebecanezzer The shields contained the explosion, making it concentrated within the shields, thereby amplifying the overall force of the explosion.

[nebecanezzer]

@skyalmond containing the explosion would not amplify it, just contain it, the same explosive force, smaller container. it would not be amplified.

[skyalmond]

@nebecanezzer Sorry, but try reading the book sometime. It specifically said that the containment of the explosion amplified it's power within the shields. The same principle applies to the NOVA bomb.

[nebecanezzer]

@skyalmond which book are you referring to? i have read all the halo books, the novabomb was amplified as it was a special type, and i quote Ghosts of Onyx here "This is a prototype Nova bonb, nine fusion warheads encased in a lithium triteride armor. When detonated it compresses its fusionable material to neutron-star intensity, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold" which means the high grade lithium triteride contained the explosion within itself,

[nebecanezzer]

@skyalmond amplifying the explosion a hundredfold. if you are referring to the explosion on which Spartan065 aka Sam dies, the shield contains the explosion, not amplifying it.

[skyalmond]

@nebecanezzer That's my point. The shields contained the explosion within itself, which amplified it. But I can see that this debate is going nowhere, so I'm going to move on to better things. Have a nice day. :D

[nebecanezzer]

@skyalmond it does not amplify it, it just contains it, which does not amplify it. same explosion, smaller container. as i pointed out before

[skyalmond]

@nebecanezzer We agree that the shields do indeed contain the explosion, and that it is still the same explosion in a smaller container. I understand exaclt what you're saying. But what I'm saying is that the since the explosion is contained, more energy is concentrated on damaging the ship rather than being wasted by dispersing in space.

[meshuggahismylife]

@linkbest84 Nope, mac round.

[sparten771]

at 3:13 i was like hahaha the covenent are gonna get ownd

[coolbreeze101b]

why is it when ever master chief does something amazing he acts like its no big deal,

[WarNerd16]

@coolbreeze101b because, he's the future version of chuck norris

[coolbreeze101b]

@WarNerd16 nice

[ScoutGrunty]

heh heh, go ahead and open up ;)

[PolloKevin]

this is makin me wanna finish ending Halo CE and know the ending

[pepoun99]

if UNSC ship have energy shields they would be stronger then that covenant garbage

[john1112371]

how do you make the CGI animations?

[TheMRUndead]

What Bungie should do after all the halo series to complete it is to either make a new game a HALO Space simulator either an addon for reach but a Halo Space Simulator would be cool controling the pillar of autumn firing its cannon and ships or a strategy games something like homeworld 2 BUT!! for PC too my brother had and still has a Xbox i cant play on it sue me im used on using a keyboard and mouse who agrees that we should Get a Halo Space Simulator or stategy game for Xbox And PC thumbs up!

[RandomLOLROFLMAO]

@TheMRUndead Something like Battlestations Pacific but in space? :D That would actually be fun, methinks. xD

[CommandantNOVA]

Halo reach is a dream come true

[HUNTER21511]

that was epic i want to see a halo game which is just space combat.

[NoobSnoopy]

actyally Mararthons can destroy CSS whit one shot sense it has two MAC guns

[davii611]

in halo 2 when you look at the battle screen on the bridge of the ciaro, it says that the unsc had 8 crusers and over 60 frigates, and 300 mac stations. you would think that they would put more emphasis on producing the crusers as they were the best to defend earth.

[AlphaHorizon]

@davii611 The UNSC used frigates to maneuver around covenant cruisers in groups of 2 or 3, alone they're useless but in tag teams they are efficient with a kill death ratio of 2 or 3. If the frigates were a nail the Halcyon class cruisers were the UNSC's hammer.

[nebecanezzer]

@davii611 other UNSC ships were patrolling UNSC space, not all of them were placed at earth to defend it. they were off fighting the covenant over possession of other planets.

[claydude504]

Or the books depiction underrated

[claydude504]

Well after reading the books and putting the power of covenant starships together, the battle is somewhat inaccurate to the books.I dont want to sound like a troll,but the UNSC cruiser does not have enough firepower to shatter a covenant CCS with 1 shot, only orbital MACs can.As well as vice versa,1 plasma bolt will burn through about half of UNSC frigate on average.The plasma that blew up the destroyer was massivly oversized.

But great vid 5 out of 5 stars!

[RemusRomulas]

"This is not right.... the fleet that attacked Reach was 50 times this size!"

only because one prophet attacked earth instead of all that attack reach..

omg i cant wait for Halo Reach they better show the epic space battle that takes place because on Reach the humans still had there entire fleet at full strength .. about 200+ ships. .. We barley had anything when the covenant attacked earth because our military might was on Reach.

[ministryod10]

@RemusRomulas Its 100 UNSC ships with 50 going to Reach and 25 Super MACS

and more than 300 Covenant ships.. Wow i cant wait!

[TBEClanMovies]

@RemusRomulas He was wrong when he said this, 15 X 50 = way more than 316 ships, 316 attacked reach, No more, no less... Talk about canon contradiction in their own games.

[ArguingPizza]

@TBEClanMovies Its a figure of speach, dude. '50 times this size' sounds way cooler than '21.0666' times this size.

[justfunnythings]

@RemusRomulas unfortunatly not :( they cheaped their way out of showing it by putting the space battle before the main attack group arrives... infact as awsome as halo reach is. its not very accurate at all

[RemusRomulas]

@justfunnythings yhea I realized that this week lol(huge bummer) I think they should have just followed the book ..it would have told a better story .. do you agree?

[justfunnythings]

@RemusRomulas well i think that they had the story okish but i would have changed the order of the levels, i would of had defending sword base from assult first,

the tip of the spear second,

then i would of had the space mission BUT you just use the pelican and leave the sabre at the base... continueing witha another message

[justfunnythings]

@RemusRomulas you no the space station thing.. yes then the next few levels happen the same. the after new alexandria gets glassed then have the stealth mission then the sword base one again with doctor halsey, but you board the pillar of autumn and emile stays behind not getting attcked by elites, then the last mission is in the sabre again and you have to escort the pillar of autumn away from reach :) then you return to reach(or stay in ship) as the lone soldier thing.. that would be better.

[TynanH72]

Bloody Nice work mate, Bloody nice Alright. 5 stars.

This is Amazing, Never seen something like this before in the Games.

Well Done.

[TheDMpro]

wow earth looks so not green...

[genralr12]

nice

[Dragonphix]

hey what song is this during 0:50

[mrtuma123]

@Dragonphix One Final Effort By Martin O'Donnell.

[santiyamatovsiowa]

i would love to be the captain of the usg ishimura when it was created not when the infection doomed the poor ship

[fixdeluxe1]

I would love nothing more than to command Earth's Home Fleet !

[coolvideos516]

r there space battles in halo reach

[360videos1996]

@coolvideos516 yeah

[Kitchenninja17]

@coolvideos516 yes

[jakefan1ya]

man were are all of the MAC cannon fire, all unsc ships have a mac cannon and 50 rounds

[heWHOstomps]

this is great man, too bad the covenat/human naval engaments were always in favor of the covenant. otherwise they should have a battleship style rts game.

[Halo1Pokemon1Master]

Uh...was that a Asgard Plasma Beam Weapon?

If the humans [Halo] had that type of technology, the covenant would have been ganked in the opening years of the war...

[Devildanncer]

impressive cgi this is going to favorites

[juanitourey]

Star fox much?

[NoobSnoopy]

you should put some other music in 3:09 like the theme from Storm Cutscene in halo 3

[NoobSnoopy]

Mac-gun rocks :D

[Jager1967]

something that's bugged me about the battle for earth, the unsc fleet defending the Terran system is comprised of just 8 cruisers and some 60 plus frigates. I would've thought their would have been a additional carrier, a dozen destroyers and a handful of older corvettes to defend the homeworld.

[MaxPayne725]

@Jager1967 They had close to three hundred ships in the books. Several carriers and huundreds of frigates and destroyers, along with all the rest of their 20 cruisers.

[Jager1967]

@MaxPayne725 I'm not talking about the books, I'm commenting about halo 2, besides if you want to draw upon the books how about the fact the entire fleet defending earth was in close orbit thereby deep in its gravity well which severely limits unsc ships in speed and accleration. Why didn't fleet admiral harper or lord hood have a formation of frigates standing by on one of the lagrange points of luna, waiting for a possible covenant attack force to flank them.

[MrAcerulez]

Probably the best halo space battle scene i've come across of so far, congrats and good job.

[deloreanrc]

i thought all ships came in there own slip-space rupture, not in one big one

[SgtShnackendale]

R.I.P. Halo 2, you will be greatly missed

[NoobSnoopy]

i wanne super MAC so i can get rid of the people who i hate :D

[ColdShadow3993]

and now we will able to play things like this. HALO REACH SPACE ENGAGEMENT FOR THE WIN!

[TARDISpug]

i want to pilot a seraph

[TBEClanMovies]

If he brought in a UNSC Supercarrier i would be impressed, those things were made for direct engagement with the covenant. Only like 5 were ever made, if the UNSC had any brains they would have made a fleet of 100 and turned the war around.

[TANSKBD]

OK...the music is just out of the video.

[Vredan12]

one thing i hate is when Michael Salvatori and Marty O' Donnel joined up together and used more strings than horns...Trust me, i know what im talking about cause im in an orchestra...

[AntihackerNo1]

UNSC Couldn't ever afford to give reinforcements to other Battlegroups cause they needed all the firepower at other places trying to beat the Covenant AC and CCS classes.

[TheRobey01]

they need to make an online halo space battle game and have a bad ass space battle

[lippy352]

@TheRobey01 theres a mod coming out for star wars empire at war an rts which has a halo mod space battles land battles and more

[TheRobey01]

@lippy352 bad ass

[Godzillafan93]

Amazing. Love the Battlestar Galactica approach to fleet engagements. I honestly got goosebumps when Harper's battle group showed up and engaged the Covenant. Awesome!

[supertoaster543]

oh yeah your right it was harvest :S

[Me4tsh1eld]

it was splendid to see the human fleet open up with thier salvo of missiles

[TANSKBD]

@Me4tsh1eld Actually, that move was disastrous. In all space battles the UNSC ships will open up with a salvo of MAC rounds - following up with Archer missiles. The missiles were only fired if it was a one-sided battle...with the UNSC getting OWNED.

[LoD100]

Very impressive dude.

[u45uify]

they could make a halo mod for homeworld 2

[metalawsome]

there can only be one that is under the master cheifs helmet and his name is... CHUCK NORRIS!!!

[supertoaster543]

i cant believe bungie arent making another halo after reach but i think there will be games with master chief covenent etc just it wont be called halo

[merkonerko2]

no there probably will be another halo game. Bungie said that Halo 3 would be the last halo game, what happened after that? 3 MORE game came out (Halo Wars, Halo 3:ODST, and now Halo Reach).

[supertoaster543]

maybe but you never know ini

[supertoaster543]

but halo 3 is the nearest to the end cos halo wars is before actual halo odst is before halo 3 and after halo 2 but reach is the first meeting with the covenant

[AJweathersby]

@supertoaster543 no the first meeting with the covenant was harvest.

[grimreaper1171]

it just says you cant with a shiva class it and it doesnt say the shiva is an atom bomb so you dont know that for sure

[TANSKBD]

@grimreaper1171 A Shiva is a nuke in the Halo world - designed for in-atmospheric and space warfare. Recent actions, howver, have greatly depleted the UNSC's stockpile of Shivas.

[supermonkey28]

if the UNSC benn able to kept the mac guns online then the spartans would still be alive

[CrunchBite429]

Actually, several of the SPARTAN's are still alive. They're with Halsey and Mendez in some kind of Forerunner "Bomb Shelter".

[TANSKBD]

@CrunchBite429 Correct...but the actual term would be 'Shield World'.

[TANSKBD]

@supermonkey28 Yes, but keep in mind - there were 20 MAC ODPs (Orbital Defense Platforms) orbiting Reach, while there are 300 orbiting Earth. Humans learn from engagements - 300 orbital guns is overkill lethal even for the Covenant fleets - Particular Justice, Humongous blah.

[LoudenLighteningProd]

@TANSKBD There were 25 SUPER Mac Guns orbiting Reach

[TANSKBD]

@LoudenLighteningProd Wrong. There were only 20. Check it out: Halopedia. Or if you can be bothered, go and read the Halo: Fall of Reach novel.

[LoudenLighteningProd]

@TANSKBD I DID read the novel, I thought it said 25. sry.

[Xecnalxes]

In the book, it took a couple of shots to take down a small ship. The chief had to go inside to take it out. Unlike Halo 2 where he destroyed that Covenant ship. I guess it's better to use their own weapons against them. But the video is wrong, you can't take a ship out with even an atom bomb. (First book)

[TANSKBD]

@Xecnalxes Actually...the Chief went in becos they hated to waste a real good bomb. So it was kind of a "Hey neighbour, here's your birthday cake back. it sucked." sort of thing.

[floodlock123]

how did they animate the spaceships?

what program did they use

[TANSKBD]

@floodlock123 This is actually the Halo 2 trailer - before the confirmed one.

[barak219]

humanity rules...thats all...

[magejawa21]

damn-strait

[blackkat7073]

Screw banshees and warthogs, i want to fly a longsword and dog-fight serif fighters wile dodging covenant plasma fire from nearby cruisers in high orbit at high speed.

@blackkat7073 same but i want to command a halcyon class cruiser like that of the "pillar of autumn"
