I think on a fundamental level, the UNSC is one of the best fictional navies because they aren't a one trick pony. Almost all of the other fictional universes have civilizations stuck in stagnant ideas mainly as a way make the different factions symmetrical, but Halo has always been about asymmetrical warfare. One good bullet, one good soldier, one good ship could turn the tide of a war.

[@robrockstar9648]

A lot of sci fi goes on about humanity being adaptable determined as our selling points but few show it when it comes to facing threats out side of a getting different factions to sing koombiya around a fire. The UNSC provides working proof of what we can do when push comes to shove and its us against the galaxy

[@christiandauz3742]

The UNSC won only because of the Covenant Civil War and the Spartans A single mixed fleet from the Imperium of Man would succeed where the xenos failed!

@@christiandauz3742 Sure, the Imperium could bum rush almost any fictional setting, but I'm talking about fundamentals of organization and doctrine. The entire 40k setting is based on how bloated and inefficient all of humanity has become, so on an equal power scenario, the UNSC would win best they have pound-for-pound better sailors and officers.

+Gregory Greenwood-Nimmo In 500 years we progressed from knights, swords, and arrows to tanks, planes, and machine guns. That's a radical change. The UNSC? Bring big guns.... in space and add engines to them. I'm sorry did human innovation stop for half a millennium? I would understand if it was 100-200 -ish years into the future but 500 plus years and we're still using guns? That's half a millennium, more then enough for radical change(granted the medical and genetic technology is a huge improvement but I'm talking about militray, who are supposed to have cutting edge stuff). Heck 1945 was just 80 years ago but our current technological level now would be completely mind boggling to the Germans who were the technological monsters of their time. What's the UNSC's excuse?! Though I get the reasoning behind it i.e giving players a relateabale world going up against a militarily superior opponent and losing badly so you as the lone super soldier has to stop it despite tie odds kinda deal it being "believable" for the time frame given is too...... silly is the best I could put it. TL;DR In 500 years we got modern combat from medieval warfare. In hale, 500 years gives us.... better modern combat? I'm sorry that's not how technological progress works barring any world ending cataclysm that forced us to reset.

[@gregorygreenwood-nimmo4954]

@@alexanerose4820 Technological change does not occur at a constant rate. The Roman Empire, in various forms, stood for a thousand years, and in that time technological change continued, but much more slowly than in the last 500 years of the modern and pre-modern ages. Certain factors can stimulate rapid change in certain fields - warfare and weaponry can be an example in the right circumstances, but factors can also slow development. Severe economic collapse can slow change in resource intensive fields of study, for example. There is also the fact that when a technology works and works well, it can endure. Edged weapons tech advanced only relatively slowly for thousands of years, because a sharp blade with a decent edge geometry didn't swiftly go out of fashion. Indeed, an iron sword and a steel sword can look similar to the casual observance of an untrained eye, but the material science that goes into them is significantly different, resulting in properly forged steel blades being lighter, stronger, more flexible and better able to hold an edge. Outward similarity does not necessarily mean technological stagnation Sometimes, new tech that looks set to bring sweeping change can also fail. Look at the crossbow - most archers would agree that it is inferior as a weapon of war to a longbow in the hands of trained user, despite being a later development, since its rate of fire is so slow because it is cumbersome to reload. It is certainly inferior to the wood, hide and bone re-curve short bows employed by mounted warriors like the Mongels. Hypothetically, the same could befall firearms. A gun might still look like a gun, and seem unchanged, even some centuries into the future, but improvements in chemical engineering might lead to more reliable powder with a faster muzzle velocity imparted to the bullet. The bullet itself might be a smart projectile, with limited internal guidance and a payload beyond kinetic energy. A burst of fire might still sound and look like a contemporary automatic weapon firing, but the result could be quite different. It is also possible that single soldier portable directed energy weapons (whether laser type weapons or some kind of electromagnetic accelerators) might be difficult and impractical to produce. You would need to find an energy cell, reliable and safe in a wide variety of conditions and temperature ranges, able to store enough energy to provide a beam or discharge equivalent to the potency of a round fired from a chemical based firearm. It would then also need to store enough energy to provide a number of shots equivalent to a clip of such bullets. Bullets also don't become non-functional quickly, so the hypothetical cell would need to be able to hold its charge for extended periods of time, possibly years. One of the great unrecognised factors of warfare is logistics. If a cell only provides 3/4 the shots of an equivalent size and weight clip of conventional ammo, or weighs 1/4 more and takes up a 1/4 more space than an equivalent quantity of conventional ammunition, that makes an enormous difference when it comes time to ship and store enough ammunition for an entire military force engaged in a lengthy campaign, both in terms of practicality and expense. Then there is the issue of heat management. A directed energy weapon superior in any marked way to a conventional firearm would certainly have considerable heat output that, if not somehow managed, could quickly cause the weapon to overheat and malfunction, possibly in a manner dangerous the the operator and nearby comrades. A rifle type weapon that is as ergonomic and efficient to use as a contemporary combat rifle would be relatively small, offering little in the way of opportunities to vent and dissipate heat. It is eminently possible that it will never be practical and cost effective to counter this issue, leaving all small personal arms to be chemical type ballistic firearms for centuries to come and quite possibly indefinitely. Soldier carried directed energy weapons would be bulkier and more complicated items, probably in a squad support role, something like the Spartan Laser. As for 'big guns is space' those MAC weapons are a type of linear accelerators, and such weapons make fine space combat weapons, especially at long ranges. A laser doesn't seem to lose much potency over small, terrestrial distances, but over the many thousands of miles space combat might occur over, lasers tend to lose efficacy, in part because they spread out, dispersing their energy over a larger target area for less effect. At longer space combat ranges, a laser would likely still hit its target, but would not damage it. Conversely, a rail gun like a MAC fires a solid slug accelerated to extreme velocity by magnetic forces. The kinetic load on the slug is very great indeed, and in the absence of atmospheric frictional forces in space, it loses essentially none of its kinetic energy with distance travelled. It hits pretty much just as hard 50,000 miles away as it does 50 feet away, giving it near unlimited effective range unless your opponent can evade the shot. There is another advantage in that most lasers require a constant period of fire to burn through material like ablative armour. That continuous fire for such a powerful laser builds up enormous amounts of thermal energy, and in a vacuum of space two of the usual means of dissipating that heat - convection currents through atmosphere and conduction to other objects - are removed, leaving only the least efficient of the three, direct radiation of heat, as the only means of cooling the ship. The ships other systems - propulsion, computing, life support and so on - are all already producing heat that must be managed, and most ships would be far too small to safely sink all that heat into the vessel's own superstructure during any kind of extended combat engagement. Such a powerful laser or similar energy weapon could very quickly raise the shipboard temperature so high that you might cook your own crew within the hull or cause widespread system failures aboard your won vessel. Conversely, a rail gun has much lower heat output, its magnetic accelerators needing only to accelerate the slug to be fired to the desired speed, and not needing to maintain a constant beam of energy. The recoil of a such a kinetic weapon might be an issue, but UNSC ships mount them linearly along the length of the vessel, so the ships own thrust can counter the recoil forces. From a hard science fiction point of view, rail guns type weapons in space combat make a great deal of sense.

[@nicolaiveliki1409]

I think you could almost count the Spartans as a flaw; the Orion project was canceled after consuming vast amounts of UNSC resources, out of 150 potential candidate identified by Dr Halsey's team for the Spartan II program only 75 were successfully "acquired" (huge expenditure in materiel and time in itself) with only 34 making it through the augmentations and training. The Spartan IIIs are a little better when comparing resources expended to find and train them vs their battlefield effectiveness. And to top it all off ONI was far to willing to throw away the damn near replaceable IIs and expensive IIIs on pointless suicide missions.

[@carthienesdevilsadvocatenr2806]

You forgot AI.Whilst it is true that the UNSC's more advanced AI suffered from Rampancy, an issue not encountered in other universes, AI was a key technology that the UNSC's enemy (the Covenant) lacked. This is what made much of their improvisation possible, and combined with ONI gave the UNSC a powerful degree of Strategic and tactical intelligence.Also, whilst Dumb AI was less effective, it was often sufficient and lacked Rampancy issues. Both where used due to the trade off, though ongoing research into eliminating rampancy as an issue is well funded.The fact that they thoroughly understand their own technology, and the science behind it, is also a an important advantage (having been forced to develop it from scratch); though that is more compared to their in-universe foes than other Sci-fi Universes. Or, to phrase it better, a LACK of understanding of their own technology is a Covenant Flaw.

I'm going out on a limb as saying Humanity was going through a "dark age" or a "period of stagnation", going in to the HALO Saga, caused largely by the travel times between far flung colonies. Technology did not need to advance far or fast due to a lack of internal competition and new ideas took so long to get anywhere. When the Covenant showed up, Humanity was catch absolutely flat footed, with only A.I. and Spartans being on the leading edge of Human technology. But given how quickly the UNSC was able to integrate Forerunner and Covenant tech into their newer ships, not just the Infinity-class, Humanity really only needed a reason , nearly being rendered extinct, and new ideas, Covenant and Forerunner technology, and a little time to actually work with that.

[@alrush34]

That isn't true, though. Humanity was on the brink of civil war, hence those A.I.s and Spartans being developed in the first place prior to contact with the Covenant.

Halberd Class ships have shields. There are cutscenes of their shields lighting up in Halo Spartan Ops.

Funny, I'd have though the most powerful weapon in the HALO universe would be the namesake HALO rings, not the nova bomb.

[@grex951]

The strongest weapon in halo is luck. Master chief is living proof of this

[@imofage3947]

@Anchor Ankura Hmm, interesting argument. But I'm pretty sure that Master Chief doesn't defend well against a HALO pulse. And isn't a full power pulse from the full array supposed to almost completely depopulate the entire galaxy? The Chief's luck doesn't allow him to rival that level of destruction without using the HALO array. I'm no expert on HALO, I haven't played any of the games or read any of the supplemental materials. But I'm pretty sure I have my facts straight. To my mind, the only characters I'm aware of in all of fiction who've actually come close to weaponizing luck are Domino (Marvel, comics explanation, mutant power to manipulate probabilities), Scarlet Witch (Marvel, comic version, chaos magic and mutant power to manipulate probabilities ), and Shishigawara (Bleach, fullbringer power "Jackpot Knuckle" manipulating probabilities). I count them because they actively manipulate probabilities as opposed to Master Chief simply having stuff go his way. I think of it a bit like the difference between a passive character trait and casting a spell. You've brought up some interesting philosophical questions: What does it mean to use something as a weapon? And is it even possible to weaponize an abstract concept?

Halo Array is a weapon system that cant target one enemy it targets everyone and thus its a powerful weapon system but one that cant be use, along side this weapon system isn't under the control of UNSC as the rings are bar from being landed on without approval of other forces due to the rings housing the Flood on them. Also Halo was built by Forerruners.
