The Covenant's ENTIRE ARSENAL at the Battle of Alpha Halo (Halo: CE Lore MEGAVIDEO)

[@HiddenXperia]

Apologies for the late upload fellas, was waiting for 4k to finish processing but after giving it 3 hours I decided to just release it, so 4k will be available soon. Hope y'all enjoy! This video marks the end of the CE season of content, so the next couple videos will all be Halo 2 focused - the most I C O N I C game of all time, so look forward to all of that! :D

I always thought the banshee was the most unique player-flown vehicle in any game. The way CE's banshee "screams" and soars around the sky with ease always had an impact on me.

[@bubbajoe117]

Something I always found really annoying from a gameplay sense but amazing from a lore sense is how the covenants fuel rod cannons would set to blow after awhile, you don't encounter the fuel rod cannons in Halo CE until well after the flood have been released on Installation 04, and the covenant forces under the command of Thel had been waging a desperate war on the ring to try and quell the flood outbreak, the fact the fuel rod is set to explode on the users death is actually a pretty amazing example of subtle story telling because it shows the unorthodox contingencies the covenant are creating to fight the flood. Detonating explosives on their users death denying the flood both useful weapons and biomass.

For me I think personally my favorite covenant weapon has to be the needler I think I remember reading and like the Halo 2 manual and it had these custom descriptions of the weapons from Marines perspectives and I think the description they gave for the needler was something a keen to that if one of these things lodged in you and you try to pull it out it just shatters and now you're stuck with a bunch of smaller pieces in the wound.

Hey Hidden Experia!! I noticed a small subtle detail from the E3 2019 Infinite trailer!! When Chief walks into the cockpit, the camera zooms in. And as it zooms in, we see that the Halo ring "sits" on top of Chief's head... like in the religious sense. Except this Halo is broken. Not sure if this was intentional or if I'm just over thinking it. What could this entail though?

[@raptordcuo6879]

@@jacobbernhardt2753 I did a bit of research and what you're referring to are fallen angels... Aka Demons. In the original Halo games, we know Chief is called "Demon." So it's a parallel to the older games. I feel like this is hinting at something.... Having a hard time coming to a conclusion lol It could potentially mean flawed savior.

Thematic significance is omnipresent throughout the Halo franchise. A series as large as this is not pushed out the door without tremendous thought being placed into the ramifications of its artistic meaning. You are not overthinking.

I think the Needler's my favorite cause of the way it's supposedly theorized to work. The Balmite chunks are heated into gas and are then cooled down and formed into the sharp crystals on the top. When fired, the crystals are turned into a gas form again, mixed in with another type of gas element that helps with the heat seeking and cooled and shaped into the crystal projectile that are fired out.
