Jose Perez its not. Infinity is large but that class of covenant ship is nearly 8x the length of Infinity. However the firepower of Infinity might be enough to destroy Long Night of Solace
Looks to be at least double or triple the size of the Autumn and roughly of half of Infinity. Spirit Of Fire was the largest ship im the UNSC until Infinity.
Manoah nope, one covenant cruiser could easily dispatch 3 average unsc cruisers, their shields and plasma trumped unsc ballistic weapons and hull plating armor, but shields down and it's a far more even fight, but that's the hard part, getting a covenant ships shields down.
Unless you were Commander Fucking Keyes, as of which you pull some brilliant tactical shit out your ass and win the fight until you get infested by the Flood. Oh! Something to note about the UNSC guns. Particularly the MACs. A Mark V Super MAC could punch through the shields of a Supercarrier, rip its way through the ship, come out the other end, destroy a second ship, and then cripple a third before finally stopping. It's theorized that even if a ship's hull and shielding _could_ take the hit, the thermodynamic release of the energy in the round would vaporize the ship. These guns were so big that they had to be mounted on Orbital Defense Platforms and could recharge and reload in about 5 seconds if receiving energy from some ground based power plants. That said they needed to be guarded on the platform to keep themselves useful and prevent the power supply from getting cut. Otherwise, clusters of these could annihilate whole fleets.
"Unless you were Commander Fucking Keyes, as of which you pull some brilliant tactical shit out your ass and win the fight until you get infested by the Flood." I want to marry you, oh my god :'D
Joey Carrella Yes. It's a retrofitting and service station for fixing frigates. It's mentioned in one of the three books. But the size given here is totally off. The book gives it dimensions of 1km by 1km, and it could fix between 4 and 6 ships at one time.
well there are a number of inaccuracies and unknowns when it comes to the stations.... there very well might have been one at 13km as a fleet base, but the smaller ones were used to block covenant plasma torpedoes at Sigma Octanus 4 to buy time for the UNSC ships to destroy the covenant fleet, these were fleet repair yards used for frigates and destroyers but were used as big ass shields instead.
The covenant ship named "Long night of Solace" sounds so cool. I never heard the word Solace be used through out my life and when I searched it, it ment being comfortable when sorrow
covenant be like **makes big ship to infiltrate reach** jorge be like "no today dawg" **suicide and blows big ship** covenant be like "Oh,so u destroyed my big ship?" **sent 1000 more big ships**
LtCWest I know this comment is late but there's a game called homeworld and there is a mod called the halo mod and has all these ships from both the covenant and UNSC and they're huge. I don't know why this is related but try it out for yourself
I know ^^ Halo:Homefront. Id like to play it these days but it was never remade in for Homeworld Remastered and the original mod has become kinda glitchy
Veryfancylolsavior it wasn't 30,000 anymore though due to heavy damage it lost a lot of sections reducing its size to around the new halo ring sizes of 10,000
@@skyherz5401 These people dont care about facts. All of the ship's on here are from a fan made size comparison that got snotted on years ago. I mean lardasses comment says it all. That the people that make the lore, got it wrong, so the fans fixed it😐 the book has it at 1km squares and could fit 6 destroyers 3 either side. The size of the infinity was described in a Spartans log where he talks about a 5.6km marathon held aboard the infinity and that marathon was from stern to stern. That sounds like a round trip to me? But on here it's 5,6km long. Also, when Dr hawlsey described the size of trevelian, she said that because a part of the shield world was hidden in slip space it COULD be millions of miles in area. There was no confirmed size given, just a projection of what could be possible of how they utilised the space. Bigger is better, apparently? The only other ship that I ever got a size for besides those two was the forerunner ship the librarian took to path kethona. And that ship was described as being 2km long, and specially made for the journey. It's crazy, almost every size is on here, are for ship's never given sizes, and the ones that have, have been altered, and another one that had a size given is missing. Cruddy list.
Funny enough, the Cradle Class Repair Ships were used as shields in the battles they partook in. Besides from carrying supplies and performing repairs, these Cradle ships would pull a 90 degree turn and block incoming plasma fire to give enough time for the front line fleet to recharge their MAC. It was a display of desperation at most. Very sad.
Yeah, but am I the only one who wants to see Marathon remastered, or at least with graphics that don't give you headache. I've played some of the first and second games and kinda liked it, but between the graphics and having to read repetitive text walls to have any idea what's going on, it can be rather grating. It's still enjoyable all in all, but some basic touch up would go a long way.
Josh Eastham Well, that was the colony ship design. The SoF is just a colony ship that got (what's the word. . . refit? Retrofit? Something.) guns slapped onto it and other military death-stuffs, just like the other colony ships.
I love the UNSC and I wish there was a UNSC Space Naval RTS kinda like you had with the old game Star Wars Empire at War where you had RTS space battles as well as land RTS battles. But anyways: If I was Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood, after the events of Halo 3 I would issue a domain wide order to all UNSC controlled locations across human controlled space that Earth will not only rebuild but the Mac Gun orbital network above earth is to be upgraded beyond its original state to be primarily composed of Super Mac guns as well as double the original orbital Mac platforms. This will also provide jobs for many humans if jobs are ever a problem for earth post Halo 3. I would issue recruitment offers to UNSC controlled surviving colonies post Halo 3 to come help with the projects. On top of all that, I would have multiple modern Spirit of Fire class or Infinity class ships to begin construction in Earth’s orbit along with multiple massive repair stations and Naval building stations like Anchor 9 and The Cradle. This would also help to create more jobs. Many more jobs. Jobs that anyone from the surviving colonies as well as from Earth itself can fill. If applicants are from the colonies, they get free transport to earth after Being hired. This will speed up employee acquisition and thus project developments. (Yes. I know that the Actual Infinity uses a lot of extremely rare tech, so to reduce cost of these ones I would supplement the extremely rare tech used in the original with non-rare Post Halo 3 standard UNSC naval tech. With multiple stations like The Cradle and Anchor 9 built, the Infinity class ships and modern Spirit of Fire class ships would be moved into the Anchor 9 and Cradle stations to accelerate production. I would continue dishing out infinity ship after infinity ship after infinity ship and Modern Spirit of Fire class ships after another until a specific event of Halo 5 Guardians takes place aka when the guardian shows up at Earth. I’d call my orbital naval project The Memorial Project. I would have maybe a max of 15% of the elite Spartan 4 veteran students under Commander Palmer’s recommendations of the UNSC Infinity be transferred to the Memorial project to act like trainers and sergeants aboard each ship within The Memorial project. Kinda like how Sergeant Forge and Sergeant Avery Johnson were both humans in charge of leading marine and ODST Troops alike and maybe even training them or boosting their morale? Like that. 1 per ship. Each Sergeant or trainer would train Marines and ODSTs alike. Veteran ODSTs reassigned to The Memorial Project would serve as assistants and fellow sergeants and trainers alongside the ship’s local Spartan 4. Each ship would have vehicle depots and Air Pads capable of producing modern versions of the same vehicles and air craft we use in Halo Wars 1 like Vultures and Hornets and Combat Pelicans and grizzly tanks and cobras and kodiaks and Cyclops too just like you have in Titan Fall Franchise. Each ship will have Mac Guns obviously too. So yea. The Memorial Project would be my springboard stage for the UNSC rebuilding its fleet strength back to what it was before Reach Fell. When Halo 5 guardian comes to earth, automatic system wide alarm would put the Memorial Project on standby while the functioning ships go into slip-space just like the infinity did. The only difference is The Memorial Project would be on the other side of Earth so they wouldn’t be right there where the guardian was when it arrived to the Solar system therefore all Memorial Project UNSC ships would successfully make it into slip-space. The reason why I’d have it on the other side of the planet is because it’s not good to have all your forces in one spot and if you see in the Halo 5 cutscene, somebody thought it was a good idea for the Infinity to be right there among all the other ships and Mac platforms. So because that side of earth is “well defended” That’s why I’d have The Memorial Project on the other side of earth.
@@DylanBegazo I really would have loved if halo wars came out like in one of the trailers before hw1 released, the base mechanics looked a lot better than what we got, it had an almost c&c base building feel to it
Seeing the sheer size difference between the UNSC destroyer and the Covenant destroyer makes the Keyes loop even more incredible. The Covenant destroyer alone is easily 10x the mass of the UNSC Iroquois, while the Covenant frigates (not shown in this video) are twice the length and probably 5x the mass of the Iroquois each. The Keyes loop really is an awesome piece of sci-fi and a very well done space battle.
How durable are Forerunner ships and the materials they are made of? Since ships like Mantle's approach took about hundreds of ODP shots many of which may be Forerunner enhanced making them even more powerful and if the battle lasted a hour it must of been taking thousands of rounds with all of them combined being in the dozens of teratons of force. And even when the a small section of the shields are down the Infinity's mac guns (I don't know how powerful) only made a small hole the size of a small fighter. Makes you wonder how they compare to other sci fi universes like the Expanded Universe Star Wars capital ships or Warhamer 40k ships. Mantle's Approach took almost zero damage and shields never went down from the ODPs.
The pinnacle of the UNSC fleet, the UNSC Infinity, after 30 years of planning, building, covenant, human and forerunner tech, yet it's still less than a fifth of the size of a typical covenant super carrier (they probs had a few more) RIP Humanity, the UNSC actually think they can dominate the whole of the Orion arm using just the Infinity, good luck with that lol
The thing has multiple main mac batteries and many more mini mac cannons, remember that the covies shields only work against energy weapons. Also she has her own super shield, mind watching her entry to Halo 4 when she rams through a Covenant cruiser like nothing. She is much better than you give her credit for.
+Lardass Those 'mini-MACs' arent so mini,they are powerful enough to cripple a CCS battlecruiser with one shot,as shown in the final level of Halo: Reach. The only thing that I disagree with you is the shield part.Covenant shields also provide protections against conventional ballistic weapons.That why the Archers were so useless on its own when dealing with Covies ships.
Lardass Hate to be that asshole who always nitpick on peoples' mistake,but the Archers weren't nukes.They were conventional missile.Near useless against shields without the help from other weapon systems. The *REAL* nukes on the other hand,namely the Shiva and some others,were extremely effective.A well-placed nuke could disable any kind of shield on any Covenant ship,except maybe the CSO supercarriers.You know whats gonna happen when a Covie ship loses its shield.
Avalanche those super carriers were no longer built after the ward n besides if the unsc did sum frigate sacrifices like in reach they would destroy a super carrier like in reach
Esto confirmó mis sospechas de que frecuentemente en los juegos no se muestra a las naves en una escala real, pasa realmente seguido PD: esperaba ver a la nave covenant clase ORS - (3000 m)
That compensation joke is pretty lame and irrelevant to this video and the story of Halo. Also if you were to say that to an actual alien they'd look at you like you were an idiot. That's the last thing on an intelligent life-forms mind. Also because the humans do the same thing with their ships and the Forerunners. Also size has nothing to do with the ships it's WHAT the ships were used for and why they needed to be that big.
wow calm the fuck down it was a joke, i dont give a shit about your opinion so you dont need to make a two paragraph comment telling me your fucking opinion. so please fuck off
+Devyat nine En realidad si tiene sentido su tamaño, tomando en cuenta que esas naves solo eran una plataforma para terraformacion, no naves de guerra. Además solo mira cuantos portaaviones tiene USA, en 300 años la economía de solo USA debería bastar para que solo esa nación pueda construir unas decenas mínimo.
Just a question: Why are Covenant Cruisers smaller than corvettes, while Covenant Destroyers are larger than Covenant Battlecruisers? And why are UNSC Frigates larger than Covenant Cruisers?
imagine how the world would be like if halo surrounded it. A ring like world surrounding earth. it's gravity didn't affect earth at all, and it wouldn't be a super weapon.
Scary thing is, it is actually probable to build such a structure. It'll take a while, massive amounts of materials, and something stronger than steel for construction. It would need to rotate at a certain speed to maintain artificial "gravity". Basically centripetal force. But physics there would be immensely different. Aircraft and basic guns wouldn't work as normal.
+bhsnipes it would be a great proposal to the UN... but we don't have that amount of metal and technology... not it would help with the population in the far future... if we have one...
+bhsnipes You say something stronger than steel. we have already found it. Carbon nanotubes is thousands times stronger than steel I heard. and even stronger than spider silk
Quintin, unfortunately trying to build anything that it larger than the nano scale using carbon nano tubes makes it loose al that strength, we have not yet found a way to "bond them". bhsnipes, In Halo there are artificial gravity generators, hell it is the basis of most Covenant tech, other than plasma of course, an the covie tech is reverse engineered from forerunner tech. So it would stand to reason that Halo is not spinning, rather just uses advanced artificial gravity, hence the fact that physics still work the same in-game.
This deserves so many views. Also, I had no idea that the CRS would look so small compared to the other vehicles. I mean, I saw them in halo 4's first level, and they looked kinda small when chief was flying through space in the cut scene. But I didn't think it was as small as lining up 10 or so pelicans! I could literally forge it entirely! Alas, we have yet to see what one of those things looks like in the inside. Oh well, I'll improvise. :)
It's the wrong size, way to big, it was only a square kilometre, it could fit three destroyers on either side that's it. It's not nearly three times the size of the infinity.
And the Executor is one ship.... ONE.... Collectively, halo puts its ships in classes, implying, MANY, excluding some ships of course, same goes for star wars but you cant just pull a trump card like that especially when we're talking halo as a whole and star wars as a whole. Halo just has way too big of structures, albeit very few of them
THE Executor is one ship, but the Executor CLASS is multiple ships, implying multiple of them exist, which there is. In the EU there's 20 I believe, and I don't remember how many in canon
dragon rampage ah, either way, some of the last things in this video kinda trump everything star wars can throw at them i mean seriously, its ridiculous
Love how the Infinity has such a big deal made about how massive it is and then the Covenant just real casually has the Long Night of Solace, which is more than 5 times larger
Why was Long Night of Solace so big? I thought it was the same size as the rest of the Super Carriers. Really puts into perspective what they had to deal with on Reach and why Jorge didn’t mind sacrificing himself.
First thing first, really great job @MetalBallStudios. the part where you compared some of these ships to actual cities is spot on Second and most important for all Halo lure fans, 1:47 shows how incredibly humanity was outmatched. Halo series should've been more dramatic and had almost hopeless vibe to it "ehhm Reach"
+ShrimpFilms 101 Yes they are. They have been canon for years now. Heck, lately the game stories even started to heavily rely on stories told in the books for references.
It's dorsal structure also looks nothing like what we got in that mission. I think the devs completely disregarded the ship's design when they made that level.
Folopolis that's a given considering the run through makes no sense to be in a ship like the big exposed section or when you make that massive leap of faith to a lower ramp, and the hallways filled with bumps ramps and pillars.
the pelican is not bigger than the sabre, the phantom is not that big compared to the pelican and they are both not that big compared to the elephant, and the spirit is not that big compared to all three of those. The Warthog and scarab is also not a starship
nihilityjoey No need to be defensive. I didn't assert anything. You, on the other hand, did, and you have no evidence that you're right about him being wrong.
Lets not forget about the largest creation in halo though, Trevelyan. When it was brought back into normal space, it was roughly two AU's. You could fit pretty much every known piece of technology ever explained in halo inside this true Dyson sphere. That's how big it is. Truly astounding.
I dont know if anyone knows this, but by lore, the halo ring and the ark we saw in this video, were only the LESSER half of their bigger brothers, the first halos and the greater ark. I dont know what the size of the greater ark was (we all know its most likely bigger) but the greater halo rings (like installation 08) stand at 30,000 KM, enough to fit 4 earths. (or somewhere along the lines) Like so everyone can see!!
I know that there isn’t really any image of it to get an idea of how big it was, but I’d have liked to see how much bigger the Greater Ark was than the Ark.
I really wish you put a covenant dropship near the assault carrier and the cruiser because then it would give me a better understanding of the size , this is good but the farther we zoom out the harder it is to see the smaller ships so it's harder to compare the size
I see what you did... putting a cruiser over Mombasa
?
Play Halo 2 (I thin it is) and you'll get it :)
There was a covenant cruiser over new mombasa in halo 2
Halo 3 ODST?
Pretty sure it was Long Night of Solace. Cruisers are big but not that fking huge
Love how the ships get bigger and bigger between UNSC and Covenant then there's just the Forerunners xD
Well high charity was giant
+Julianrocker200 Still dwarfed by the forerunners though xD
+Sam Hull Dwarfed? That thing was like... made to look like a pebble compared to the Ark...
Let's not mention that Onyx(Trevelyn) wasn't in this. It makes The Ark look like a grain of sand or ant.
Let's not forget, forerunner shield worlds, design to counter the halo, some are bigger than earth, others are big enough to hold entire stars!
Oh wow. The coveys are glassing Mombasa again lol
Poor Mombasa.
I thought it was New Mombasa.... Am I wrong?
+TheConeezeanEmperor no you are right. The pic was set over Mombasa, new Mombasa is fictional prob set on the ruins of Mombasa
WarmasterBlade YES still retains status as one of the Halo fans who literal learns the lore like a religion.
eeey halo 3 *high fives*
I never realized how big long night of solace is
Whose was that? I can't recall, was it the Arbiters old ship?
+Jose Perez no that was the one that led the initial attack on reach the one you and Jorge destroy in reach the game.
+ShivaNuke ahhhh. Wow, somehow I don't recall it being larger than Infinity. Thanks!
Jose Perez its not. Infinity is large but that class of covenant ship is nearly 8x the length of Infinity. However the firepower of Infinity might be enough to destroy Long Night of Solace
+ShivaNuke Afterall, it did punch a hole in Mantle's Approach.
Okay NOW I can see how the spirit of fire was able to hold its own for so long in the Halo Wars series
The Phoenix Class Refits were amazing. If they mass produced them...
I know! for some reason I thought the sprit was smaller than the pillar of autumn, guess I was wrong.
@@antoniojansevanrensburg7637 still would have lost lol the unsc mass produced Punic class carriers
@@qtoocool5667 Damn shame we see none of them.
Looks to be at least double or triple the size of the Autumn and roughly of half of Infinity. Spirit Of Fire was the largest ship im the UNSC until Infinity.

I love the UNSC and I wish there was a UNSC Space Naval RTS kinda like you had with the old game Star Wars Empire at War where you had RTS space battles as well as land RTS battles. But anyways:
If I was Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood, after the events of Halo 3 I would issue a domain wide order to all UNSC controlled locations across human controlled space that Earth will not only rebuild but the Mac Gun orbital network above earth is to be upgraded beyond its original state to be primarily composed of Super Mac guns as well as double the original orbital Mac platforms. This will also provide jobs for many humans if jobs are ever a problem for earth post Halo 3. I would issue recruitment offers to UNSC controlled surviving colonies post Halo 3 to come help with the projects.
On top of all that, I would have multiple modern Spirit of Fire class or Infinity class ships to begin construction in Earth’s orbit along with multiple massive repair stations and Naval building stations like Anchor 9 and The Cradle. This would also help to create more jobs. Many more jobs. Jobs that anyone from the surviving colonies as well as from Earth itself can fill. If applicants are from the colonies, they get free transport to earth after
Being hired. This will speed up employee acquisition and thus project developments.
(Yes. I know that the Actual Infinity uses a lot of extremely rare tech, so to reduce cost of these ones I would supplement the extremely rare tech used in the original with non-rare Post Halo 3 standard UNSC naval tech.
With multiple stations like The Cradle and Anchor 9 built, the Infinity class ships and modern Spirit of Fire class ships would be moved into the Anchor 9 and Cradle stations to accelerate production.
I would continue dishing out infinity ship after infinity ship after infinity ship and Modern Spirit of Fire class ships after another until a specific event of Halo 5 Guardians takes place aka when the guardian shows up at Earth.
I’d call my orbital naval project The Memorial Project. I would have maybe a max of 15% of the elite Spartan 4 veteran students under Commander Palmer’s recommendations of the UNSC Infinity be transferred to the Memorial project to act like trainers and sergeants aboard each ship within The Memorial project. Kinda like how Sergeant Forge and Sergeant Avery Johnson were both humans in charge of leading marine and ODST Troops alike and maybe even training them or boosting their morale? Like that. 1 per ship. Each Sergeant or trainer would train Marines and ODSTs alike. Veteran ODSTs reassigned to The Memorial Project would serve as assistants and fellow sergeants and trainers alongside the ship’s local Spartan 4.
Each ship would have vehicle depots and Air Pads capable of producing modern versions of the same vehicles and air craft we use in Halo Wars 1 like Vultures and Hornets and Combat Pelicans and grizzly tanks and cobras and kodiaks and Cyclops too just like you have in Titan Fall Franchise.
Each ship will have Mac Guns obviously too.
So yea. The Memorial Project would be my springboard stage for the UNSC rebuilding its fleet strength back to what it was before Reach Fell.

The Covenant destroyer alone is easily 10x the mass of the UNSC Iroquois, while the Covenant frigates (not shown in this video) are twice the length and probably 5x the mass of the Iroquois each. The Keyes loop really is an awesome piece of sci-fi and a very well done space battle.
They came to glass mombasa
How durable are Forerunner ships and the materials they are made of? Since ships like Mantle's approach took about hundreds of ODP shots many of which may be Forerunner enhanced making them even more powerful and if the battle lasted a hour it must of been taking thousands of rounds with all of them combined being in the dozens of teratons of force. And even when the a small section of the shields are down the Infinity's mac guns (I don't know how powerful) only made a small hole the size of a small fighter.
Makes you wonder how they compare to other sci fi universes like the Expanded Universe Star Wars capital ships or Warhamer 40k ships.
Mantle's Approach took almost zero damage and shields never went down from the ODPs.
The pinnacle of the UNSC fleet, the UNSC Infinity, after 30 years of planning, building, covenant, human and forerunner tech, yet it's still less than a fifth of the size of a typical covenant super carrier (they probs had a few more)
RIP Humanity, the UNSC actually think they can dominate the whole of the Orion arm using just the Infinity, good luck with that lol
The thing has multiple main mac batteries and many more mini mac cannons, remember that the covies shields only work against energy weapons. Also she has her own super shield, mind watching her entry to Halo 4 when she rams through a Covenant cruiser like nothing. She is much better than you give her credit for.
+Lardass Those 'mini-MACs' arent so mini,they are powerful enough to cripple a CCS battlecruiser with one shot,as shown in the final level of Halo: Reach.
The only thing that I disagree with you is the shield part.Covenant shields also provide protections against conventional ballistic weapons.That why the Archers were so useless on its own when dealing with Covies ships.
Admiral Jay I knew that the nukes didn't work against the covies shields, I just forgot to mention it.
Lardass Hate to be that asshole who always nitpick on peoples' mistake,but the Archers weren't nukes.They were conventional missile.Near useless against shields without the help from other weapon systems.
The *REAL* nukes on the other hand,namely the Shiva and some others,were extremely effective.A well-placed nuke could disable any kind of shield on any Covenant ship,except maybe the CSO supercarriers.You know whats gonna happen when a Covie ship loses its shield.
Avalanche those super carriers were no longer built after the ward n besides if the unsc did sum frigate sacrifices like in reach they would destroy a super carrier like in reach
Should've included Shield World 006 a.k.a. Trevelyan.
that thing is just tooooo huge. I guess one AU is to large to put it into this video.
meters on the outside, lightdays on the inside
Well when it was put into that slipspace bubble it was a mere 23 centimeters in diameter. It's natural state is 2 AU across, or 300 million KM.
yea

para evitar confusiones, la UNSC Cradle es una estación de reparación, no una nave de guerra
A nadie le gustaría si lo fuera
Aparecio en Halo Wars, verdad?
*****
No; la UNSC Cradle apareció en Halo: La Caida de Reach (libro y comic)
.......Ohhhhhhh.....yo me la imaginaba redondo cuando lei el libro
MrAvakstone92 Gracias de todo esto era lo único que no sabia que era jajaj
Okay, I thought Long Night of Solace was just a regular sized Assault Carrier
Holy shit...
Randehmarsh Games george’s kd is insane lol
@@caboose4973 :DDDDDD No perfection tho :/
They don't call it a "super-carrier" for nothing, lmao.
Damn!! This is so freaking amazing!! Well done on animation!
This is one of my favorite ones you've done
Esto confirmó mis sospechas de que frecuentemente en los juegos no se muestra a las naves en una escala real, pasa realmente seguido
PD: esperaba ver a la nave covenant clase ORS - (3000 m)
Infinity: “Were the biggest ship in this war!”
Long Night Of Solace: “Hold my beer!”
it takes a lot of work to make a vid like this. Thank you! I enjoyed the video a lot!
Nice work and music!😎
You forgot Requiem the shield world.
1:48 O_O
It's that huge
+dragon rampage Yeah Long night of Solace is huge
well it is a super carrier after all and the covenant do like to make really big ships, think they're compensating for something?
That compensation joke is pretty lame and irrelevant to this video and the story of Halo. Also if you were to say that to an actual alien they'd look at you like you were an idiot. That's the last thing on an intelligent life-forms mind.
Also because the humans do the same thing with their ships and the Forerunners. Also size has nothing to do with the ships it's WHAT the ships were used for and why they needed to be that big.
wow calm the fuck down it was a joke, i dont give a shit about your opinion so you dont need to make a two paragraph comment telling me your fucking opinion. so please fuck off
Omg this is awesome , nice job
Muy buen trabajo!!! :D Felicidades!
no pensé que la spirit of fire sería tan grande
+Devyat nine En realidad si tiene sentido su tamaño, tomando en cuenta que esas naves solo eran una plataforma para terraformacion, no naves de guerra.
Además solo mira cuantos portaaviones tiene USA, en 300 años la economía de solo USA debería bastar para que solo esa nación pueda construir unas decenas mínimo.

Love how you use Mombasa for the covie cruiser. ODST4LYF
heh that was funny
excellent work once again these are impressive
What a pleasure to watch! Humanity sure does create some incredible content!
Just a question:
Why are Covenant Cruisers smaller than corvettes, while Covenant Destroyers are larger than Covenant Battlecruisers?
And why are UNSC Frigates larger than Covenant Cruisers?
Rule of cool, I guess.
hey @MetaBallStudios could you do one for Warhammer 40k?
Yes. coming soon
sweet
+MetaBallStudios hola,porque no tomaste en cuenta el Arca Mayor ni el Omega Halo(un halo de 30.000 km)? A ybuen video
En que libros se mencionan esos?
Nose si en un libro pero si buscas esas estructuras en google te saldran
Plegarias escuchadas xD excelente vídeo, sigue así :)
Thanks for making this! Perfecto
Una comparacion de las naves de Mass Effect y soy feliz C:
imagine how the world would be like if halo surrounded it. A ring like world surrounding earth. it's gravity didn't affect earth at all, and it wouldn't be a super weapon.
Scary thing is, it is actually probable to build such a structure. It'll take a while, massive amounts of materials, and something stronger than steel for construction. It would need to rotate at a certain speed to maintain artificial "gravity". Basically centripetal force.
But physics there would be immensely different. Aircraft and basic guns wouldn't work as normal.
+bhsnipes it would be a great proposal to the UN...
but we don't have that amount of metal and technology... not it would help with the population in the far future... if we have one...
+bhsnipes You say something stronger than steel. we have already found it. Carbon nanotubes is thousands times stronger than steel I heard. and even stronger than spider silk
Quintin, unfortunately trying to build anything that it larger than the nano scale using carbon nano tubes makes it loose al that strength, we have not yet found a way to "bond them". bhsnipes, In Halo there are artificial gravity generators, hell it is the basis of most Covenant tech, other than plasma of course, an the covie tech is reverse engineered from forerunner tech. So it would stand to reason that Halo is not spinning, rather just uses advanced artificial gravity, hence the fact that physics still work the same in-game.
TheConeezeanEmperor makes sense to have both rotation and anti gravity generators, the spinning would make the gravity generators jobs much easier
Que Bakan, gracias por hacer las comparativas :D
This deserves so many views. Also, I had no idea that the CRS would look so small compared to the other vehicles. I mean, I saw them in halo 4's first level, and they looked kinda small when chief was flying through space in the cut scene. But I didn't think it was as small as lining up 10 or so pelicans! I could literally forge it entirely! Alas, we have yet to see what one of those things looks like in the inside. Oh well, I'll improvise. :)
where did you get the cradles model?
bailsterbailer He might have did it himself
most likely concept art and descriptions from the fall of reach novel which i recommend
yeah fall of reach was truly fantastic
It couldn't have been very hard to imagine it's appearance. Didn't The Fall of Reach describe it to be a giant square?
It's the wrong size, way to big, it was only a square kilometre, it could fit three destroyers on either side that's it. It's not nearly three times the size of the infinity.
Halo trumps Star Wars any day
Well the executor is 19km, which is bigger than anything before Long Night of Solace, and the forruners
Keyword; Before
And the Executor is one ship.... ONE....
Collectively, halo puts its ships in classes, implying, MANY, excluding some ships of course, same goes for star wars but you cant just pull a trump card like that especially when we're talking halo as a whole and star wars as a whole. Halo just has way too big of structures, albeit very few of them
THE Executor is one ship, but the Executor CLASS is multiple ships, implying multiple of them exist, which there is. In the EU there's 20 I believe, and I don't remember how many in canon
dragon rampage ah, either way, some of the last things in this video kinda trump everything star wars can throw at them i mean seriously, its ridiculous
I hadn't had an ad for hours and then I came to this video
The map comparisons are the best.
Awesome video!
Thanks :D
sabes, he oido de que el juego de halo esta maldito
+Juanblas Ulloaulloa porque lo dices?? 😕
busca en internet
My favorites are; Pillar of Autumm (RIP XD) Infinity, Foward unto Dawn, and corvette
And also Long Night of Solace, just cos its big and has a cool name. But 'Pillar of Autumn' and 'Spirit of fire' also have a really nice ring to them
This helps a lot :)
I love the earth and a halo ring, then the itty bitty little high charity in the back
Damn the Ark is F*CKING HUGE!
well the greater ark is 3 times bigger which would be 127m km x 3 = 381m km
***** um 2 AU is 300m km while the greater ark is like 381m km it is over 2 AU
what the fuck
what's the purpose 😂😂
sorry mucked up thinking it is only 381 000km not 381 000 000, i am an idiot
Hopefully a Warhammer 40K size comparison vid is coming!
That series is shit.
I love warhammer
+Rulingmoss55 You have shit taste.
Rulingmoss 55 Warhammer? Shit?
Brothers, we have an uneducated heretic in our midst! Let us *PURGE HIM!*
@@rulingmoss5599 , think man you would not have even Star Craft without War Hammer!
(why am I reply on 3 old troll comment?)
Amazing. Thank you for this.
I love this size comparison, this time in the series of Halo
everyone sub to this guy he really deserves it
The Scarab?
Love how the Infinity has such a big deal made about how massive it is and then the Covenant just real casually has the Long Night of Solace, which is more than 5 times larger
Why was Long Night of Solace so big? I thought it was the same size as the rest of the Super Carriers. Really puts into perspective what they had to deal with on Reach and why Jorge didn’t mind sacrificing himself.
slovak4life1991 at first I thought it was exaggerated but then I looked it up and realized it wasn’t.
same, i used to think it was just a covenant super carrier.
It makes Jorge's sacrifice more meaningful
Imagine a level in halo infinite where you get to drive the infinity
Pp man or a Long Night of solance😂
The infinity was fucking destroyed by the didact
Melted Earth0015 what the fuck are you talking about!? It was in halo 5, remember, the final cutscene when it was running away from the Guardian?
@@Ppman oh sorry my bad, its just that i havent been playing halo 5's campaign for a while cause its just so bad it makes me wanna cry.
@@Ppman im also kinda confused by your bio
Also could've included Precursor star roads just for the giggles
Love the design!
First thing first, really great job @MetalBallStudios. the part where you compared some of these ships to actual cities is spot on
Second and most important for all Halo lure fans, 1:47 shows how incredibly humanity was outmatched. Halo series should've been more dramatic and had almost hopeless vibe to it "ehhm Reach"
Cradle? Never saw that
+Michael Neczyporuk the books were announced not canon
+ShrimpFilms 101
Yes they are. They have been canon for years now. Heck, lately the game stories even started to heavily rely on stories told in the books for references.
Timjer What exactly is Cradle? Is it a ship or Space station?
Caesers Legion Centurion
If I remember it helped Building UNSC ships.
It's not that big, only a square kilometre.
The Pillar of Autumn is at least 2km as seen in the last race in the mission the maw in halo ce.
It's dorsal structure also looks nothing like what we got in that mission. I think the devs completely disregarded the ship's design when they made that level.
Folopolis that's a given considering the run through makes no sense to be in a ship like the big exposed section or when you make that massive leap of faith to a lower ramp, and the hallways filled with bumps ramps and pillars.
Alexander K. dude fuck the autom the damn cradle is awsome
I doubt it, that would've meant that wouldve meant if you were going 30 mph you would've been completed with a run under a minute.
Great job!
you have earned a subscriber
last night i had a dream of being eaten
Ok
that stuff turns me on
Zack Douglous by what?
I have dream.....going to work but in reality i didn't go to work that day
the pelican is not bigger than the sabre, the phantom is not that big compared to the pelican and they are both not that big compared to the elephant, and the spirit is not that big compared to all three of those. The Warthog and scarab is also not a starship
Do you have a source for any of his numbers being wrong? If so, I'd like to see it.
Lennard Church And what are your sources for them being right?
nihilityjoey No need to be defensive. I didn't assert anything. You, on the other hand, did, and you have no evidence that you're right about him being wrong.
Lennard Church ? My comment was no more defensive than yours?
Lennard Church Not only that I think you replied to the wrong person. Common sense tells you that the sizes in this video are made up.
Lets not forget about the largest creation in halo though, Trevelyan. When it was brought back into normal space, it was roughly two AU's. You could fit pretty much every known piece of technology ever explained in halo inside this true Dyson sphere. That's how big it is. Truly astounding.
Great video, I like!
Forerunners=Donald Trump
gracias por el video super alvaro😀
Just shows how out of proportion the escape sequence from Halo CE was.
Now this is quality content
How big they are! It's awesome!
this is a awesome video
Ok.... I knew that Mantle's Approach was bigger than Infinity but holy shit!
That just makes it even more badass.
I was thinking just that, I’m halo 4 you never really realize JUST how fucking big it is
Se ganaron un suscriptor mas. Los mejores 😁😁
The longsword is one of the coolest Sci-fi fighter craft ever made.
Awesome video
nice footage!
I dont know if anyone knows this, but by lore, the halo ring and the ark we saw in this video, were only the LESSER half of their bigger brothers, the first halos and the greater ark.
I dont know what the size of the greater ark was (we all know its most likely bigger) but the greater halo rings (like installation 08) stand at 30,000 KM, enough to fit 4 earths. (or somewhere along the lines)
Like so everyone can see!!
I know that there isn’t really any image of it to get an idea of how big it was, but I’d have liked to see how much bigger the Greater Ark was than the Ark.
cool size comparison
This is awesome
This video was awesome
The broadsword of halo 4, the wasp of halo 5 and prowler
I knew the Mantle's Approach was a big ship, but that's absolutely enormous. Almost as big as high charity...?
Had no idea a Longsword was bigger than Cryptum, pretty cool!
ngl
i almost shed a tear over seeing what mombasa had to go through in scale
Halo always has the coolest ship names
I really wish you put a covenant dropship near the assault carrier and the cruiser because then it would give me a better understanding of the size , this is good but the farther we zoom out the harder it is to see the smaller ships so it's harder to compare the size
Damn Daniel!! Dats cool
Thank you, so helpful
