happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy day 💓!!!

Also there were many conflicting interest in the outer and inner worlds. Some times coming to Nuclear bombardment. Millions died in the conflicting wars. It's a history not talked about. It's glossed over because of the worsening of the Covenant war. Most outer space went silent and hoped to survive after the last remnants of the UNSC. Entire cities and or colonies were impacted with the war of man. We were broken beyond anything then the scourge of the Covenant hit. After countless glassing and complete destruction did we repurposed not only our fleets yet our media, and special operations.

Happy birthday, also March birth month gang.

There were 2 actual reasons for the war. The lies spread by the Prophets of Truth, Mercy, and Regret. Also, the events of Contact: Harvest were seen as an act of aggression by humanity against the Covenant.

@@robertnelson9599 it’s a joke

The star wars holiday special alone would be enough to cause alien races to wipe us from existence, but I think they actually saw an episode of keeping up with the Kardashians.

@@robertnelson9599 r/wooooooooooosh

op: thanks for the new head canon!

I’ve always wanted an in-depth Halo game set in the pre-covenant-war days

The fan base would bitch like they do with everything else

I always wanted a shooter from the POV of one of the Covenant races.

Noooooo editing takes away the heart! I just fixed a typo!

So taxation without representation, but in space?

@@robertnelson9599 yup. The insurrectionists even use America as a historical example of why they should be free. Governance become more difficult with distance.

@@darkwraithraziel6362 thats why 1 world govts dont work. They're so bad that they dont even work in fiction.

This is the main reason for civil wars between colonies and their homelands.

Or maybe just how slipspace works, maybe gravitational source bent slipspace more which resulted in longer journeys.

@@mackenziebeeney3764 No convential reason has been presented as of yet. A gravity affected area in that region hasn't been reported either. Hence the abnormality of traveling to this particular colony is still a mystery. Halo Canon covers this topic upon Catalog's entries within a Halo forum in a QnA format. Here's the link and time stamp. 34:43 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/npxji6aWnbjUkmg.html

@Marco Moreno the other colonies may have been further out overall distance but could have formed a chain of closer together worlds, Harvest on the other hand might have been closer relative to earth but had no other nearby occupied planets so travel time was longer without any possible other destinations.

@@thanqualthehighseer Highly doubtful. All distances mentioned are relative to Earth and the Sol System. 23 Librae System (Madrigal) is about 86 ly from Earth while Epsilon Indi (Harvest) is a mere 12. Epsilon Eridani (Reach) is only 11. So technically, the Covenant were already at Earth's doorstep way before Reach was lost. Even if we're referring to star clusters, said regions are on average 10 - 30 ly across for them to be considered a cluster. Harvest, Reach and Earth are relatively close enough to be considered in the same cluster. However, this is not the case either since Earth is not in a globular cluster but rather a Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC), a.k.a. Local Fluff. So unfortunately this is still considered a major discrepancy. At best it's an abnormality. It's not too farfetched to believe some Forerunner technology is affecting this region of space. Or something else entirely that isn't Forerunner. Harvest was used by the Forerunners as a waystation to a shield world and as a research and containment facility. What sort of waystation, as Halo Canon covered, is unknown. Perhaps the facility wasn't entirely for Etran Harborage (SW 0459), a.k.a. Trove, and was instead for something entirely different that is affecting this region of space and producing the abnormal effects surrounding Harvest. Considering it was used for research and containment, it may have held an alternative or primary purpose that led to another Shield World not yet discovered. Trove was simply a secondary location found by both Covenant and UNSC forces.

*Begins to explain Slipspace travel* Kwan Ha: "Shut up, I know better than you."

The counter I'd have, is that FtL is *so* advanced a tech that we'd be putting orbital rings around Venus and Mars, and putting centrifugal gravity around asteroids, before we got near FtL. But then, I'm an Expanse fan . . .

a series developing Contact Harvest would have been excellent. it actually was a good book. especially considering Joseph Staten had never written a book before

@@michaelandreipalon359 Yeah that out of left field sex scene at the end of the book is the biggest wtf moment in halo for me. Im doing alright, I have a new job so im not watching as much as soon as its uploaded.

@@sergioruiz733 His catchphrase is "I would have been your daddy" If he doesn't get some it would be out of category.

interesting

Cool but that does leave the question why were there left behind?

@@michaelandreipalon359 so if there's connections to marathon, could this just be a nice big Easter egg and teasing the players with these AI who probably are just the developers themselves?

Just make it semi-realistic tactical shooter or real-time tactics, where you play as marine/ODST/intelligence agency spec ops/federal police spec op squad.

I’d honestly want to see a game that you play SGT Johnson during the events of Contact Harvest. Maybe have the first few opening levels be fighting insurrectionists,a level that has you training the Harvest PDF in an exersize,and then a couple of missions that have you fighting early war covenant as you try to evac the planet.

@@sciarpecyril yeah something like that would be really interesting. Playing as an ODST again would be pretty cool.

Maybe one day we could get a Halo game with human enemies fighting alongside the Covenant? The seeds are already there with the Banished and the expansion of the SPARTAN program, it could be interesting to have a game set decades or even centuries in the future with renegade SPARTANS and other humans fighting alongside the various alien species.

@@reclaimer1178 I hear your point, but I raise you: Red Dead Redemption 2

Reach is located in the Epsilon Eridani system which also contained numerous other important colonies such as Tribute. Epsilon Eridani is only a handful of light-years from Earth which is one of the Reasons it was so heavily settled. I also recall the system being easier to perform slip space jumps from and to.

Dont forget venetia, multi Species gov.

The insurrectionists were kinda pricks too. You’re right though, there were no good guys in the UNSC-Insurrectionist war. Just who fired the first shot and why?

@@littleaqua32 yeah like I don’t condone the terrorist tactics used on civilians by the insurrection, but were they really evil for wanting independence?

@@neofulcrum5013 evil? No. But succession is rarely peaceful and the UNSC has every reason to hold its constituent parts together.

@@littleaqua32 We only have ONI's word they actually nuked civilians. And ONI are 100% untrustworthy.

@@DIEGhostfish both sides were in the wrong, though.

First time? Lol

Now I finished it, excellent video as always

They invaded as a result of heresy of their religion. When humanity was discovered, it would have been normal to invite them into the Covenant. However the forerunner derived sensors could identify humans as "Reclaimers". At first the Covenant assumed the symbology meant that all the humans carried Forerunner artefacts, and discovering that humans, not the Prophet's were the designated heirs of the Forerunners drove them into a rage. What isn't discussed is a Covenant scout ship has the technology to scan a planet and locate every human, but it's never discussed having such unlimited Intel against human targets ever again.

Have you suggested this before? It seems familiar

@@thechroniclegamer4285 He did, but Eck never did a video of it

@@felps_4500 I knew it

@@thechroniclegamer4285 many times I keep hoping he’ll do it

@@TheWingland he should

Harvest had the Tiara, so was able to get a lot of agricultural produce off the gravity-well for cheap.

I feel like that might be a bit one sided in the Forerunners favor even if you take the Imperium during the great crusade because of how unreliable warp travel is and the tech level difference the only things that would be keeping 40k humanity in the fight would be psykers, Living Saints, and Space Marines and 30k humanity would fare a bit better with more space marines, the Primarchs, Emps and Malcador but I don't think they could carry that. A better fight in my opinion would be Forerunners VS Dark Age of Technology Humanity or The Aeldari at their height or the Necrons

CH is good, you can start that ahead of time.

Yes, he did.

Someone didn't hear about the interplanetary wars, the insurrection, or the multiple unnamed wars and conflicts of secession briefly mentioned in the lore

how is 'best' a flawed term? the 'best' car, is the car that fulfills the needs of the driver... do you want fuel economy? cargo space? 'best' is easily defined, as is 'perfect' it is according to the intent behind the intention... people like to say 'god made man flawed, we can do it better' according to what? god puts limits on things on purpose, and somehow you think of those intentional choices as a flaw? clearly you arent paying attention...

@@davidross5640 Because one person's idea of best could be the Shadow Cloud from Babylon 5, and someone else's could be the Zentradi Fleet from SDF Macross. "Most Memorable" allows the highest presentation amount and variety without people whining too much in the comments.

@@awddfg Crosshair with a Beam Rifle... The thought makes me shiver.

And you know utilizing humanities ability to activate forerunner technology.

@@shangothunder1055 That too. Honestly, the zeal of the Prophets ultimately sowed the seeds of their downfall, even with how much their empire/cult styled on humanity.

@@shangothunder1055 I'm still fresh off reading Contact Harvest, but that's a MASSIVE plot point in the book. SPOILER The Covenant is internally divided and some select few have just found out about the human / forerunner relationship. The faction which seeks to suppress this knowledge is the faction which embarks on the war. The Halo series kathleenkennedys all that when it allows that some humans can join the Covenant. No. No, in the lore - they can't.

@@zimriel In this continuity they can.

Slipspace is basically punching a hole in space. Kinda like a wormhole. Basically the folding of space to reach a point faster. Tho the making is totally sci-fi. Even wormholes and ftl drives are theoretical in real life.

I'd guess that the forerunner AI could probably have hacked the replicators

@@kristiandahl1310 It would need to acces the subspace to attempt that.

In Halo the entire Solar System has been colonized for 300 years. Mars has been terraformed to the point it’s as green as earth and has snow caped mountains.

Hollywood would just ruin them.

No

USA no longer exists, it collapsed after a second Civil War and the Remnants along with Canada and Mexico merge to form the United Republic of North America. Other countries on earth merge to form superstates like East African Protectorate in Africa.
