The Interplanetary Wars - Lore and Theory

[@strikeone7803]

Dude, The Interplanetary Wars are literally the Halo Universe SCREAMING at 343 for a prequel game...Imagine the possibilities, the new guns, vehicles and factions that were used during those conflicts or better yet a game set during the Insurrection leading up to the Covenant's sudden arrival and the sheer chaos that ensued in those planets were the UNSC and Rebels were fighthing each other when Aliens showed up.

[@MikeJones-qn1gz]

Oh yeah man how cool would it be if you were on a planet as a marine or ODST the first missions fighting insurrectionists then at the mid game the Covenant show up and just stomp the UNSC and you have to find a way off planet before it gets glassed and at the same time gathering intel on the Covenant.

[@RoverCaptain]

I completely agree with you. However, it would have a difficult time navigating classifications. This would be a highly political, human-on-human conflict based video game. Many (real world) governments would push for concessions, or censorship of certain elements, under the guise of protecting the public from unnecessary violence in video games.

One thing to add onto this, earlier on in humanities expansion into deep space and forming of the outer colonies, they had remained mostly independent, though the UEG still kept a watchful eye on them. However pirates started becoming a big problem in the outer colonies resulting in these colonies asking for help from the UNSC to help guard against these pirates, over time the UEG and UNSC control over the outer colonies grew more authoritarian resulting in the hard push back from Outer Colnies for independence, the rest is history

[@teamancilla6226]

The politics behind the Interplanetary War is fascinating, as it’s somewhat realistic to what may happen to us today. Given that space travel wasn’t anywhere near as sophisticated at the end of the 21st and the entirety of the 22nd century, any law Earth passed wouldn’t really be well enforced outside of her orbit. The actions taken by corporations flocking to Mars to worm their way out of Earth’s laws, was bound to lead to anti-capitalist/pro-communist movements. Similar things can be said to the Jovian Moons. If Earth can’t really enforce its rule on Mars, then what would it do with the Jovian Moons? It’s frankly a miracle and testament to the early UNSC that with such limitations on space travel, it was able to support multiple interplanetary campaigns around Sol.

I liked COD:IW. As for ripping off Halo and Titan Fall. Well honestly those games have ripped off how many sci-fi movies, films, tv shows, animated features and shows, plus books and comics, and lastly even games (board and video) that all came before it. Truth is nothing wrong with inspiration and giving nods to things the creators enjoyed. It is not as though COD:IW was the same thing as Halo or Titanfall. They also had a good point with the name, which related to the setting. War is going to continue. Many idiots called the fall of the Berlin Wall and end of the Cold War the end of history. The reason for that was their idiotic belief that major conflicts, strife, civil wars, wars, battles, and terrorism was going to all become a thing of the past. As if humanity changed magically because the ussr dissolved. Call of Duty calling a game in it’s series Infinite Warfare is just pointing out that it is not going to end, and setting it into a future further illustrates this notion. Maybe they should have called it COD:Neverending History instead? Oh and Halo Infinite is illustrating a similar notion in that the war does not end. I guess Halo is ripping off COD by using infinite in it’s title.

How strong would the Tennos from Warframe be in the Halo universe? They seem very supernaturally strong and powerful with their connections to the void dimension. How would the factions and organizations of the galaxy view and react towards them? I bet ONI would make many attempts to get them to work for them or to even try to capture them to study what makes them so unnaturally powerful.

[@ShawFujikawa]

ONI is viciously xenophobic, they’d do everything they could to keep the Tenno weak, disorganised, or just plain look for an excuse to eradicate them.

There are 2 ways you can deal with a defeated enemy. You can either oppress him under your joch and he will garner hate and spite for you, or you can give him everything he needs, so he has no reason to want independence. This is in my opinion one of the biggest flaws in the UNSC history. On another note Installation00 have you ever down a lore and theory of UNSC and Covanent communications and how communications technology evolved to a point of instant communication between ships and star systems, that are so far apart, normal light based coms are not feasable?

[@kevinwalker6840]

Humans are foolish and greedy. They will always want what you deny them. This the only true way to deal with a defeated enemy is to wipe them out entirely.

Further more they don’t have any hang ups about doing business with aliens from the covenant, covenant remnants, and the Sangheili; they’ll team up with the aliens to screw over the UNSC. As for the Arbiter specifically? As far as they cared the whole of humanity could have been genocided by the Covenant in the war, and could give less than a hoot about Arby. And he’s not a puppet to the UNSC, he’s just the guy the UNSC want at the helm of the Sangheili’s “government”. But make no mistake, the UNSC would end him in a heartbeat...

Some of this really deepens the interpretation of Halo as a reaction to war in the Middle East. Specifically Iraq, Afghanistan. Sure there are some innocent people being bombed on Mars, but most people are okay with it because it’s not at home.
