Scorpion should be way lower Pelican actually is more like a Osprey and a MI-24 mixed together, it's not a bad vehicle. A vtol gunship that can carry 10 troops + a vehicle is super good. The falcon stinks, the army is already moving away from scout helicopters and the falcon offers zero protection, one manpad or even a 50cal/dshka would take down a falcon with ease Same goes for the hornet as the falcon I agree with all the rest
falcon being UH relate to its role like the helicopters in nam' and tiltrotors are just the next evolution of helicopters same but better... the tiltrotor is not a plane it makes more sense to call it a helicopter or its proper name the tiltrotor vehicle which was made to replace a helicopter btw
Sadly, as someone who loves big robots, I have to agree on the mantis even tho I think it's the best/only good thing, thing 343 added in 4 and 5. However, I can see a potential use for a mech not for combat but in logistics. Would be very convenient to have essentially a big mechanical guy who can pick up heavy stuff to load into trucks, lift up walls to stick into the ground, stand in one spot, and act as a mobile look out tower/sniper nest. In combat, the only role I could see is support. Stick a big sniper rifle on it and have it stand in the trees. Tho, even that could probably have better alternatives anyway, so I'll stick to logistics and mobile lookout tower being the best use for a mech.
Moving power from the surface to the planet is not absurd, the first thing we can use the technology to do so on earth on small scales. Second Nikola Tesla was the to first propose such and ideas.
Most fighting happens between huge ship and huge ship. There are fighters (sabre, broadsword) but they are used in space more often then not. There also is the longsword. All of the fighters are big so they can transport and have lots of fire power
It was a basic design following the rule of cool before everyone took the design choices too literal and think it should apply real life logic in game about sci-fi with biomass aliens that can change forms without burning out for its rate
I would say the falcon is the most realistic followed second by the fan-lifts like the sparrowhawk and wasp. The hornet however would be a very inefficient aircraft in real life, two words disk loading.
At 1:37, you said that the super Mac around reach are inpractible. Around Reach they have 20 of these super Mac, and 1 shot kill a covenant ship, (i don't talk about the little banshee, seraph fighter, phantom or spirit, no no, more like The Truth and Reconciliation from Halo CE or maybe ship a little bigger than that. In lore human need 4 equivalent ship to destroy 1 covenant ship, and generally speaking they willnlose 1-2, plus damage on at least 1 other of the 4 ships. So yeah the super mac, needs big reactor on the grounds, but they are way more powerful than their ship, and if I remember correctly they also have more range than covenant, or their own, ships.
The warthog is S tier because PEOPLE HAVE BUILT IT, fully functional minus the gun. Gas engine with independent suspension, I am unsure if they got the crab walk wheels though.
well if we are using the scorpion tank wed have to use the newest model yes in which case wed be comparing the M820 instead of the M808, you did mention 90mm but only the M808 models use 90mm the newer M820 uses a 150mm M990 electrothermal-chemical smoothbore cannon and unlike the M808 model the M820 has the standard n 2 other notable versions the ONI M820 which has better armour n uses a bigger gun and "experimental" shells(its ONI they probs packed them then hella explosives) and the XM820B4 Scorpion aka the Hannibal M820 which uses Laser n Gauss based weapons instead of tank shells also ive seen alot of comments saying diesel engine when all of the UNSC vehicles(except ships n planes etc) are electric and hydrogen powered and halo is a big universe and theres probs a shit ton of water planets to use to collect fuel to power their tanks, warthogs etc also in HW1 n 2 we see the Rhino and Grizzly which we'd kinda also have to account for since they are just modified scorpions and for the armour of the scorpion tank well its the year 2557 and they improved their tanks alot the M808 was 66tons but the newer M820 is half that and its survivability and armour is stronger oh n side note the whole reason why the tank is a quad track is not only to have manoeuvrability but its also used to protect the hull from side attacks and the rear tracks protect the rear of the hull where the engine is (btw the scorpions side vents suck in air and the rear vent is basically the exhaust). Halo infinite was ment to be Halo CE esque which is why the tanks look like the old models so for the more accurate n updated vehicles Halo 5 is the better game to show case them but if in this vid your were talking bout the old M808 models then this comment would be nothing more than just a rant
This is my third time watching this and it's just as incredible now as when this dropped. I think this video is an extremely gripping vision of the Flood on Earth and honestly man, you put out probably the best single piece of Halo content with this that we've had in years. I hope you come back and keep doing this. You're an incredible writer.
People give the tanks shit because of the 4 tread design, however they forget or don't know that each tread has it's own electric motor which is powered by the main engine. If one goes down the other can keep the tank going. There is nothing mechanical going on between the main body and the treads... That would be an engineering nightmare. The main gun also fires a non explosive sabot like the sniper rifle does and uses a special gel propellant instead of gunpowder that is much stronger.
5:37 you're forgetting that the pelican is capable of reaching orbit. It's literally a spaceship. It doesn't matter if it has limited troop capacity when that is the case, it can also carry a tank
so im just gonna throw this out there. it may have a 90 mm. but it's armor is crazy compared to today's if you took into account the number of wraith shots the tank withstands before dropping, and that is melting the tank it stands to reason that modern MBT's probably wont be able to do much to the tanks armor, and if it can get through the crazy armor. the durability of the tanks will make any MBT work hard for that kill. that and since its a single manned tank with optional machine gunner gun, it makes its survivability go up because you can focus your defense on the one operator. 'its also been proven that even smaller caliber cannons can kill many tanks if hit right and with he scorpions maneuverability and the fact it can straight up shoot over many walls, and rubble piles, or vehicle husks, ECT, with its height, it also stands that the 90 would still be effective if given other ammo types aswell., but lets say its just the high explosive. Even then it can easily disable most external components break tracks, and blind other vehicles with consistent auto loaded fire, and single handedly hold off infantry with its built in machine gun mounted in the very articulate cannon. it's a beast in its own right and if we could make one work today it would be pretty damn scary to come up against for sure, be it infantry, MBT's, Heli's, insurrectionists, and of course Covie's.
I can't remember what media it was but I thought the reason the vehicles used in game were old and poorly designed was due to scarcity. The UNSC had been fighting a 30 year war and they were just using what was left/cheap to manufacture. All the cool and futuristic vehicles/weapons have been destroyed or are rare to see. I think this works for CE-Reach but a lot of the things in 4-Infinite do seem futuristic for aesthetic reasons only
Invariably all invasive and invasive defensive options rely upon logistic capacity differentials. The nearer to zero the differentials are, the higher the favorable conditions are to ensure a stalemate state with indefinable duration capacities. While the more distanced they are from center line, call it flat sea level zero, those odds shift substantially against ending up in a never ending stalemate state. It is and isn't accurate, the 1/3rd thought. For instance, there is no need to level the transport system, only selective points upon which they depend for throughput reliability. Here scale is less relevant, since the process fits comfortably with and in all scales. It is important though, only in the execution phase, in relation to providing all that's vital to accomplishing the task to tasks specific to the mission objective. Here, the objective laid out is to bring about a full scale extinction event. But how full scale is relevant. By this, the discussion focuses upon total rendering impossible to ever recognize as having existed, or any lesser than, so to make a memorable mark that isn't difficult to comprehend as war conducted, deliberately for the longer ranging "word of mouth" Shock on impact values. Or lessening along the options by degrees to a kick in the pants and call it a day punitive nothing. Consider, as a planetary body, it's true full scale and time entirely surrounded by only all not it. So relative isolation is actualized. Here we swim with no sweat into siege options. Want to lay waste to any, animated types, with a potential for some resistance capacities, but have plans for using the place after, focus upon that, takes priority. Where, say a planet is merely in the way, along the way, and it's got useful reusable materials that are supportive to the mission undertaken, powder it, mere grind it into ever easier to transport bits. And reconstitute them as needed for various projects. Easier to process, to render what can be described as the slag from the good stuff, in such a fluid state, than hunting around for scents on the winds. Consider the diversity compatibility reality factoring, this planet is rare, within this one star system in that regard. While not total alone in this, definitely, it is also not the run into every day normal. Nor run into every thirteenth other blue moon, that happens on a Tuesday in even numbered leap years, normal. As is, it's a freak show like variant. But it is not invisible, soundless, odorless, colorless, tasteless nor Immobile. Perhaps no others ever lived take dares as dares and bets as bets, and love gambling related contests intensely. But on a gamble, let's say there are. And let's take that to, they are radiantly saturation hammered with direct transmissions communicating they ain't shit, or worth shit, and are only any good when dead. Seemingly aimed directly at Them, and theirs, nonstop. While the outgoing messages are really going in all directions simultaneous, at light speed. Here, we go into Radio waves, and waves in general, as carriers and as spreaders. But what's carried and spreading is death threats, hostile take over materials. Conversations related to owning the entire Universe, and ruling over all surveyed, casually. Along with video and audio News coverage communicating situation normality at the source point actual. What % is needed to be the critical mass essential to take that shit talk at all seriously? And what is needed to prevent any % from doing so, when and where ever, really? Will you, readers, laugh it all off, as infantile hogwash. Each and all, at every moment, in all conditions? Will those you know intimately, all the way to those you barely know by reputation and wording associations? What is there to ensure every minded kind, is going to react the same way to stimuli conveying death and ruination as a staple ingredient, aimed at Existence, Life and Living, in general and in exactingly stated specifics? Scale it to actualized, experienced interactive cohabitation, are there any such assurances, misunderstanding sure fire, ever lasting prevention methods, devices, skills, capacities at Home, home town, home state, home land, and abroad? Covering all conditional incidental factors, air, land, water, merely 3 among them, that is, rather than is not vital? If so, were is it kept hidden for actual Ages so perfectly?
@Cabezon to be fair not everything has to be realistic to be good gundam has beam sabers that are melee weapons in a sci fi setting with guns also Warhammer 40k has psychic powers and lots of melee weapons like the power sword, thunder hammer and chainsaw swords. Also melee can work in a sci fi setting, also Star Wars has light sabers. I hope you respond.

Ok ok I am an American and while 10000% everyone on earth dies i would like to say that the 🇺🇸 has declassified files of preparations for alien invasions, zombies, and fish people so I feel we would go down swinging harder than he postulates

Nah, Earth would be glassed immediately. We could maybe do some damage in the sky and on the land, but we would ALL be wiped. Easily. The only chance for anyone would be hiding DEEP underground with enough supplies. We're talking seed and embryo vaults.
