ODST Platoon Attacks the COVENANT - HALO 3 NPC Wars

NPC Wars, with ODST Squads battling the Covenant Forces in Halo 3.
UNSC has sent the ODST Platoon to interfere the Covenant from extracting an important artifact. Supported with armored vehicles including a Scorpion, Warthog, Mongoose and Hornets ODST forces launched an operation to the Covenant dig site.
I created this scenario with Halo 3 MCC Mod Tools for watching AI Battles.

[@MasteringJohn]

They should do a squad-commander version of it (being able to command local marines, call reinforcements to get dropped in, lower health and speed thanks to not being a Spartan, that sort of thing), mixed with Medal of Honor: Airborne-esque beginning to each mission.

[@ethanclarke1347]

Anyone else notice a trend in scifi movies and games that when an overpowered alien enemy loses their massive, shielded capital ships they get absolutely wrecked?

[@RGInquisitor]

Pretty much could be tied down to losing their main technological advancements. In Halo lore, Covie ships were much more advanced than humanity, so the UNSC barely won any engagements, and the ones they did win came as Pyrrhic victories. On ground engagements it was another story entirely due to the technological gap not being as wide. Human infantry weapons in Halo are very effective, and then you have likewise elite troops like ODSTs and Spartans and you pretty much can level the playing field easily. I'd be willing the wager that if humanity had developed energy shielding on their ships prior to the human-covenant war breaking out, the UNSC could have turned the tide much sooner. Magnetic Accelerated weaponry was the most effective weapon humanity had in space, but rarely could fire them fast enough to win due to human ships being sniped or one shot by Covie ships before they could fire more salvos. If they had energy shields that could provide more time and protection, I'd see the UNSC winning a lot more fleet engagements and the war could have been far less one-sided.

[@ethanclarke1347]

@@RGInquisitor AGREED

[@JoeMama-rv9wl]

@@RGInquisitor i mean nearly every covenant species is physically superior to humans, only exceptions being grunts mostly

[@RGInquisitor]

@@JoeMama-rv9wl Absolutely they are, but humanity's force amplifiers and ground vehicles are much more equal in terms of effectiveness when compared to the covies, so physiological advantages can only give them so much advantage. A midget with a gun can take out a 9 foot Elite easily if the gun is good enough, which in the UNSC's case, most of their guns were. Covies took a LOT of casualties during invasions, which is why they outright skipped invading worlds with no forerunner presence and went straight to the glassing phase, especially if that world had a strong military garrison.

[@thesuperintendent4290]

@@JoeMama-rv9wl Nah mate Jackals. Grunts had an exoskeleton along with their normal ones. So it would be hard to kill in hand to hand combat. Though Jackels are fast they have hollow bones like birds which if you could land a hit on them they'd be down.
