Halo: Final battle for Earth (Epic CGI space battle) 

TheBattlecruiser3D but the pillar of autumn is destroyed on installation 04????????

I love the clip I understand you changed some aspects of the Halo law it simply dose not have some things in it like The Mark V "Super MAC" UNSC Orbital Defense Platforms or "ODPs" typically mount larger and more powerful versions of the standard Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, nicknamed "super" MACs or "the big stick." These cannons fire a 3000-ton ferric-tungsten round at 12,000 kilometers per second, or 4% of the speed of light.[3] Against Covenant shield technology, the rounds possess enough kinetic energy to punch through shields, cut through the ship, and, upon exit, still retain enough energy to destroy a second ship, and cripple a third ship. It is theorized that if a ship's armor or shields were to absorb all the kinetic energy of a super MAC round, the release of thermodynamic energy would still vaporize the ship. By receiving power from ground-based power plants, orbital platforms could achieve recharge and reload times as short as five seconds 300 of these ODP where fully operational at the time of the attack.

This is how we end as we needed more time but with 500 ships off the door step of reach and more pouring in we were not ready

TheBattlecruiser3D i've never played halo but I watched some of the cutscenes. Thanks for your vids, better realism than actual halo cutscenes.

jay song Wong you are so wrong

What about double fisting two chipotle burritos in the middle of a Darude rave blasting Sandstorm?

Julio david alfaro samperio I think the joke flew over your head.

@@davidsmperio7344 there was a famous UNSC Admiral who blew up a covenant armada of over 500 warships. all of them were destroyed and yet the Covenent hierarchs just shrugged it off. they got a massive quantity of warships if they are able to shrug that loss off

@@davidsmperio7344 UNSC always had better tactics than the Covenant, but the covies had higher numbers, bigger ships and better tech, they had to outnumber covenant ships because of the shielding if not they could take them down with 2 or 3 mac shots UNSC frigates were quite small ships, not resiliant enough to fight alone against corvettes let alone entire cruisers so they had to gang up on them

this joke kinda ironic since its the other way around. The UNSC always outnumbered the covenant ship wise

@@MrKillerVamp you are so damn wrong

if they are to dumb to read the description why would they read this comment

Yeah that would be pretty overwhelming knowing how underpowered you are compared everything else..

Lmao 😂 😂 😂

Like how some letters stay attached but nothing connecting them xd

Lmao I didn't even notice that

XD

Pablo 11399 so true

I usually break them before they going to pillage. Not so hard using provocation and ambush. So my capital planet is safe. This alternative Earth should be also. Sci-fi western authors more "fi" than "sci". Invading fleet with hyperdrives would not be able to attack right after jump. And they would not be able to jump right to target. Who can open doors - can close it also. Earthers should be able to block close space from hyper-enter and flush outer space with suicide drones on the route of incoming enemy. Space invasion operation is nightmare for invader if defender have any comparable fleet.

which is why i do what a fallen empire says, unless either i know my allies can hold them back or there is enough distance between their territory and mine that i can ignore them

Besides the fact that they had no mines or anything, Earth's defense fleet was pretty pathetic. A group of 75 ships couldn't even handle a group of 15 unprepared covies. And then 1 straight up slipped by like "Oh don't mind me, ima just lewd all over ur base." Like damn. Aren't the MAC guns suppose to 1 shot ships every few seconds? What the heck are they doing?

LOL

They attacked London is the halo infinite multiplayer trailer

ehh the unsc ships are awesome in design, but i like the mass effect ships better.

more so master chief was. The lore to this alternate universe was that the pillar of autumn was ambushed and destroyed before it could land on Installation 04.

Actually, no. This what-if situation takes place in 2544. That means, Reach hasn't been destroyed yet, no CSOs yet, no Unyielding Hierophant... etc. This is basically what would happen if the UNSC had begun Operation: Red Flag earlier in the war, and if the Covenant also found Earth earlier.

@@dr.boring7022 I was about to say the same thing, plus, the Covenant had not fractured into civil war, yet.

I think the actual invasion fleet was also this size.

@@e3nethan910 It wasn't. This was like the entire Covenant fleet that surrounded High Charity. The fleet that attacked Earth in the games was "smaller than the one that attack Reach", at first it was only 15 ships. Later into the battle, over 320 ships were deployed.

Actually, the story was made to based on the the original halo lore, but divert from it in 2544 when this story would take place. In this story, the covenant would have learned of the assassination plan and ambush the Pillar of Autumn, which is what you see in the video. It would have been explained further in the original machinima if I had finished it.

+TheBattlecruiser3D Ah, I see! A great animation regardless, though I wish you could have focused more on the capital ship battles rather than the Longswords and Seraphs flying around.

thomas bergersen: Rada Two steps from hell: Never back down

He also forgot to use space banshees and seraphs.

cannonfodder343 little bit of lore for you... high charity wasn't even known by the UNSC until Halo 2 when cortina discovered chat between truth and regret talking about their holy city of High Charity... that's the first time it becomes known... other than that you're good :)

@ actually human ships have close range shooting that cover up holes slash damage dealt by enemy ships environmental damage guesses I could erode metalbasically they kind of do have shields

messa thought youssa was dead

Someone please get that reference

what ever did happen to Georgia anyway

No one knows

lol i got ya

Really tho what happened to Georgia

The machinima I was planning to make with these animations was going to differ a bit from the established halo lore, with the battle for earth taking place in 2545. The attack on earth was going to be a surprice attack, which is why the UNSC fleet protecting earth is so small. I changed a few of these thing for this video to make things work better, but much of this would have been explained if I had finished the actual Machinima. But you are correct about the end, the device detonated was a nova bomb.

Nate Carter if you take legends lore of star wars battle of yuzhan'tar would be much bigger it was all availble ships from alliance of empaire remnets new republic hapes consortium and all other galactic powers vs all remaining ships of youzhan vong race witch are extra galactic normadic invaders

Nate Carter there was not 1,000 ships during that battle, according to the real lord the humans had only like 8 cruisers and 75 frigates, and the Covenant found earth by accident, one prophet knew the location but didn't tell the others so when, another prophet found they were completely surprised they only had 13 ships and still broke through the lines and the fleet protecting Earth was destroyed "with only a handful of frigates left" the battle of reach was more exciting

Devin Harris Actually there were two battles for earth. The one you speak of is the battle you see in halo 2 in which the prophet of regret led a small fleet after finding out that there was a portal to the ark on earth, yet he didnt know that was earth. In the battle, the humans destroyed every single covenant ship except for regret's ship which ends up escaping later in the game. Now the second battle of earth happens at the end of halo 2 where truth takes the rest of the covenant armada to earth. This is where the 300 super macs come into play since they destroy most of truths fleet and is left only with the fleet you see on halo 3 yet the humans end up with only a "handful of frigates left".

Nate Carter Thank you for explaining this I was reading through the comments and I was starting to lose myself ._.

Only instead of this. Its all factions defending the galaxy from cortana and atriox

What about the spainish inquisition

I'm Blue Rip Portugal

Except the whole earth Mimbari war was stupid because Mimbari ships are impervious to earth ship weapons.... except when there is an important leader on board??? WTF?? - That's what you call the mother of all story screwups!

The Minbari ships weren't impervious to human weapons. They simply had advance stealth systems that prevented long distance target locks. For humans to get any of their shots to hit, they needed to get really close, which was near impossible as their ships were not only slower but the Minbari weapons were way more powerful and could hit from further range. For the moment with the important leader on board, the Earth ships were more than close enough to allow shots to hit not to mention that they fired first.

The movie shows various combat scenarios debunking all that and including an Earth ship colliding with a Mimbari ship but doing no damage to the Mimbari ship. So we know they can get close, and if they can get close they can fire nukes, but no, Mr Hero was the only one to think of using nukes - Funny how no one else thought of trying to use nukes during the entire war..... i mean its pretty obvious they would have the capacity to fire a large number of nukes the mimbari could not shoot them all down. The problem is they want to try and make it that only mr hero could destroy a mimbari ship, thats the mistake, and they have to stretch plausibility beyond its limit to do it.

Lol what, all those combat scenarios in that movie pretty much proved what I just stated in my other comment, lots of shots being fired and barely any if at all managed to hit, and that suicide run by the Earth Ship did destroy the Minbrai ship. In fact that ship was a prototype of the Omega Class we later see in the series, and the only reason it got close was because the Minbari let it get close as they were playing with the humans then and wanted to see what the humans would do. After that disaster, the Minbari never let human ships ever get that close again in subsequent battles. The only reason those nukes worked was because the crew of the Black Star was way too overconfident and didn't even bother to even think that it was possibly a trap and actually got close enough in the asteroid belt for the Nukes to work. Seriously we have ships capable of shooting energy bolts out of the sky in the series, shooting nukes in comparison would be even more easy as they would be travelling way more slower than energy bolts. Also, like I said before, Minbari have powerful stealth systems that prevents long distance target locks. Humans have to get really close for any form of good chance of actually hitting the Minbari ships. This means that any nukes fired, would have to be fired in really massive swarms to even have a chance of hitting Minbari ships and they would also be extremely close to the Minbari ships when the nukes do hit. Btw on a small side note here, its actually spelled Minbari, not Mimbari.

are you talking about sheridan & his minefield?

MegaAnthony757 share ¡t. I will, advertise ¡t. Its good work and i'll share ¡t on facebook

No sound in space

Last Shadow Facebook!!? U might as well share it on My Space too

MegaAnthony757 this will mislead a lot of new players, because it's not real lore.

Much more than half of their fleet was destroyed- hundreds of ships were, as well as a covenant Outpost world and it's moon. That fleet was staging there in preparation for an attack on Earth, once it's location was discovered. But then, the prophet of regret got a lead on an important forerunner artifact. So he took 14 ships to go check it out. He expected a deserted world or maybe a small, relatively unguarded colony. Instead, he blundered directly into the proverbial Hornets nest- humanity's core world defended by the home fleet of hundreds of ships as well as 300 MAC platforms.

The profit of Regret was an idiot

its accurate to 3 and 2 innit

Where's your Halo Battle animation?

@@22steve5150 lol

@@22steve5150 Its more like a "What if" not what actually happened.

@@Laldagarth I know, it just seems that it would have made the battle far more interesting had the humans had more than 10% of their arsenal at their disposal here. I'm sure it would have been a nightmare for an animator to simulate all of that though.

You know only 25% of the unsc fleet was at earth

Necro I know what you meN

But when the cis attacked it was a surprise the unsc knew this was happening and sent all their ships to earth

VortexTV Brickfilms and More! Havent watched it in a while

Eevee Fan :P The camera follows Anakin and Obi-Wan in their ships through a space battle. Just like in this one when the camera follows the Longswords during battle.

Honestly, I thought I was the only one who thought this.

And that their ships are practically everywhere

Reality-Flash492003160 IKR

Alternate Lore its a what if situation

Read description

Earth had more then 300 orbital defense platform. ( really big rail gun that can cut through 2 covenant ships at once when in range )

Lol

Yes there are problems with the video, for example like every single UNSC MAC round missing (which wouldn't happen), but early UNSC ships at this time didn't have any shields.

@@electro3dm119 That was a large covenant fleet. Maybe those Mac's that looked like they were missing were actually going for another ship off screen.

@@electro3dm119 the only UNSC ship with shield was Infinity. During the whole war UNSC didnt developed ship shielding. And shipborne MAC,s can miss their Targets. They travel at 30.000 km per hours, so a far away covie ship can dodge it.

I think the idea is something along the lines of "it looks cooler when travelling slower". *Edit: but those rounds did cross the field of battle in no time so maybe they were going alot faster than they seem.

You are wrong. Ship borne MACS dont travel at the speed of light, you are misunderstooding for the super MAC,s ( Cairo Station ). Unsc ship Mac guns travel at 30.000 km/h, so a covenant ship can dodge it

@@panzerrjcb I didn't say at the speed of light, I said at a significant proportion of the speed of light. A standard frigate-based MAC fires slugs of either ferric Tungsten or depleted Uranium measuring approximately 9.1 meters long at around 30 kilometers per second, around 0.01% the speed of light. Orbital Defense Platforms fire a 3,000-ton slug at four-hundredths, or 4% of, the speed of light, around 12,000 kilometers per second. Keep in mind, these are (relatively) small chunks of metal flying through space with no engine or real thermal signature. By the time especially the super MACs are fired, it's over, there's no dodging that with a large, lumbering ship. And that's also why the ships don't engage until a closer range, because their projectiles are smaller and slower. You are massively underestimating how fast these projectiles are, and massively overestimating the maneuverability of these massively large ships.

@@ktinga1 yheap. But im a sucker for Halo Lore and i have the fleet books, so i know what im saying: Frigate Macs are difficult to dodge but not impossible, and they lack the firepower to effectively destroy big Covie ships, unless used en masse. Anyway, the only weapon capable of destroying all Covenant ships relatively easily are Super MACs or Nova bombs, because UNSC Space tech are inferior to Covenant tech. Before the advent of Infinity, a single Covenant Carrier could wipe out a whole UNSC fleet ( and im not mentioning a 20 miles long supercarrier ), because according to Lore the Covenant ship Plasma Lances are overpowered ( 100.000km efective range, capable of tearing a unsc ship apart ) . No wonder UNSC lost the space battle and Many colonies burned.

@@panzerrjcb I'm not saying that frigate or cruiser MACs should destroy covie ships in one hit. I'm saying in my original comment that it should be a nearly instantaneous flash of something going off and then a hit on the covie's shields. You're trying to argue power when I'm agreeing with you about the power. I'm saying that it's not exactly easy to dodge something going that fast, but it's not gonna hurt so why bother? And yes, covie plasma lances are far more powerful and devastating to UNSC ships due to their lack of shields. You're trying to argue a point that isn't even up for debate.

I haven't done any CGi stuff for almost 2 years now (what you see in the video is from 2014-2015). Any bigger projects would be difficult for me at the moment as I'm attending university, but a scene or two might be possible

alright man, well good luck at university ill be there in a few years.

TheBattlecruiser3D If I may ask, what programs did you use to make this video?

I used 3ds Max 2013 for the animations and Adobe After Effects CS6 for compositing

Yusei Fudo Non-existent at the time :)

Not built yet in this time, until 4 or 5 years later like when functionality and service in Halo 4

Still being built

Meghan Hammond well, we would have a bigger fighting force, and more spartans. Life would probably be easier for everyone

Meghan Hammond it's possible to live in a half glassed planet But I doubt the Covenant will stop at half

Meghan Hammond its possible like the robot things I forgot their name

Ironside this a scenario where the Cole Protocol didn’t work

They found earth around 2545 in this scenario

Which went through the portal?

Of course, because Regret didn't come to Earth to wipe out Humanity. He didn't even know it was Humanity's homeworld - just that the holy relic (the Ark) was on it somewhere. So when he arrived, the most his ships could do was occupy the Home Fleet while his ship deployed on Earth, in New Mombasa. Even when Truth showed up, the most he did was drive the UNSC into a hole even though he deployed more ships around Earth than Regret did (Cleveland for example). So the UNSC had a bit of firepower left - not much, but when Chief got back into the fight it was enough. As for the MAC platforms, Regret and Truth had to knock out a significant amount to have any sort of Dominion on Earth. Regret only destroyer the Athens and Malta to get access to New Mombasa - Truth? Who knows? But since Hood was safely reporting from the Cairo during Halo 3, there had to be some left over just not enough to coordinate any effective resistance.

You know, thinking about it, why didn't they just use the MAC platforms to bombard Covenant positions on Earth? I think a Super MAC would of been able to damage the Dreadnought as it took off for the portal. In fact, using the platforms might of made it unneeded to glass the entirety of Africa.

Turbofurby because firing a MAC cannon on the earth to destroy the covenant ships would do more damage than them glassing the hell out of us?

@@hawkinsgames5773 well i would rather die by my own kinds weapons than some space boiz

CapTonLoner actually in the lore, the countries of earth no longer exist. They were disbanded and united under the United Nations space command when the first slip space drives were invented.

In the lore, it also says the US, Canada and Mexico united to create the United Republic of America, so I'm not so sure about that.

If that’s what it says then sure. I got my info from Halo Legends and Contact Harvest. Either way, I’m sure after fist contact and the outbreak of war, all internal governments, means of production, and propaganda was taken over by the UNSC and ONI. I also doubt there were any shipyards at earth specifically, but I could be wrong on that.

It started as US. Then engulfed the whole world once slip space was invented

Mexico? Last I heard they provided the best most awesome super dooper extravagant and electrifying armada ship, "The Taco Loco class destroyer ," able to launch high velocity forts after their crew had eaten some mad hot chili tacos....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
