  • "Wrath of the Covenant" - A Short Halo Animation
    Hey everyone! Excited to share with you my latest work: "Wrath of the Covenant." It's a 30-second animation set in the Halo world, where you'll see the Covenant in action, taking on a group of UNSC marines. It's intense, fast-paced, and I hope it captures a bit of what makes Halo so cool.
    This is my second go at a short film and I'm pretty stoked about how it turned out. It feels like a step up from my first one, and I had a blast making it.
    Big shoutout to the Halo universe created by Bungie, 343i, and Microsoft for the inspiration. Created with some help from Rokoko and Blender - these tools are awesome!
    Hope you all enjoy it and can't wait to hear what you think! Critiques are welcome and greatly encouraged!

    Imagine what a lot of the sangheili that took at least one human life felt/thought when they learned they were exterminating them for no reason because the Covenant was a lie

    • @raghuvarv

      There actually is a story about a Sangheili shipmaster (he goes unnamed) that deals with his guilt.
      He personally oversaw the glassing of a human colony named Kholo, and was also at Reach (where he said he saw the best of human courage and combat capabilities).
      After the war, he felt immense guilt and thought Sangheili society had lost its way under the Covenant. He held Thel Vadam in high regard, though, and went on a personal journey seeking answers about the Forerunners and redemption for his sins. He also went on a personal crusade against the San Shyuum and Jiralhanae for their lies and betrayals. A few years after the end of the events of Halo 3, he again visits Kholo, the world whose glassing he personally oversaw.

      Some were ashamed. Others were indifferent and felt humanity needed to be extinguished anyway.
      Others rightfully believed humanity would retaliate and believed they should strike first.

      Its even sadder now that with 343's horrible retcons, the Covenant's war is now justified because according to 343, Forerunners are a completely different race than Humans and apparently we attacked them for no reason

      @@_MatthewLance Me too, that's literally the whole point of them I'm always like 😐 when people try to say "aCtUaLlY uNsC hElD tHeIr OwN oN tHe GrOuNd". It completely negates the threat that they're supposed to pose. And if that's the case why the hell would you call a member species "Elite" if it's just a generic henchman type of enemy that dies dumb deaths.
