That day all the Sentinels forgot their beams and decided to LARP as Stargate's Drone weapons... but while they might not have been purpose built for this like the Ancients' Drone weapons were, the Sentinels still did so in style.
I think they did that on purpose. Since the entire carrier had it's energy shield online, it would've saved time by just throwing themselves since energy shields doesn't protect against smaller impacts. Just my theory imo
@@MartinAslaksen well thing what do you think would be better, beams that can melt through thin and medium armour but take ages to go through a ships hull, or the mass and the explosive of every sentinel able to blast a hole in a ship and you have billions of them
@@huydang5955 not true lol in halo lore humanity was an interstellar empire at the same time the forerunners ruled the galaxy 100,000 years ago prior to firing the halos
@@huydang5955 you understand forerunners only “persevered” longer because they destroyed all artifacts/records of ancient humanity before they themselves went to war with the flood, only to lose so badly they had no choice but to resort to the Halo array killing themselves and all life to stop the flood from overwhelming the galaxy …. right? Have you even read the Forerunner trulogy of books 😂
Sentinel beams would barely scratch the damn thing. If you have a factory that could pump out a dead sentinel in 6 seconds, you might as well just ram into it
if you are confuse why the CAS doesn't have it shield on. In lore the covenant doesn't get shield up all the time because of energy problems. So surprise attack with MAC gun can be effective but the Covenant superior techs make those kind of ambush impossible. Luring the covenant in doesn't work either because they known you there, they turn on the shield.
Sentinels just slicing the ship in half is fucking dope lol, cough cough startrek beyond too cough cough. just wondering what atriox might of been thinking about what's happening, that man had to of lost his composer. "They did what-"
because shes a sentient ai she also can develop trauma like think howd you feel holding the gun that killed your family and then having to use it, also shes not a military ai she wouldnt have the same expertise as cortana or serena
Probably that would have taken more time resulting in more damage to the Ark, though they would have lost less drones that is not their primary concern and drones can be replenished easy.
perhaps the drones scanned the ship and found that either it's hull or shields were far stronger then their beams could cut through and come to the conclusion that throwing themselves at it to cut it in half would take less time then it would to simply blast it apart. even if they did use their beams the crew would most likely return fire anyway.
This scene is freaking incredible, but couldn't they have just fired their millions of beams on this thing all at once? Imagine the light show that would've been.
One of the contradictions of Halo and most Sci-Fi with foot soldiers in the future is that they would be entirely obsolete in the face of anything like sentinels.
@@user-iy7jo7bq4f So the sentinels are like the lowest of soldiers in the forerunner hierarchy? I mean, all we got to see in the games were shitty sentinels. The enforcer wasn't really that hard either, so if a flood infestation got out of hand, will the Fortress Worlds (the Forerunner word for Halos, they used the word "Installations" as well) produce Onyx like sentinels which are far better than the ones we get in the games? In Ghosts Of Onyx, they are capable of tactics, 2 will fight the Spartan IIIs, and 1 will observe and report back, making sure that the tactics the Spartans use will not work twice. They can combine their beams into 1 beam, destroying Covenant ships (unless I am wrong).
civilian insurgents with AK47's in the here and now can reliably punch above their weight against nations with predator drones. Don't see why the drones having laser guns instead of rockets would change the math much.
As impressive as this is, and it shows the nearly infinite numbers of the sentinels, it's a little underwhelming they'd resort to kamikaze swarms, especially when considering just what a whole swarm of them can do in the books. I was expecting them to combine their beams to utterly carve the ship up like a Christmas goose.
Loki Griffin it’s not like they can combine lasers like some anime they’re meant for the flood and other life forms it would take forever to destroy a ship like that
