Xperia, the zebra pattern is designed to confuse the vision of those who see it. Its rather affected as well, even being used on some warships in World War II.

[@HiddenXperia]

Ohhhhhh I've heard that before actually, good catch! Pretty sure they'd use it on the hulls of warships so they blended in with the waves or something

[@r.cdahuman7682]

@@HiddenXperia basically yes, and also because of the way the lines were painted, they just confuse the human brain. The lines wouldn't all be going in one direction, there would be... Sections I guess you could say, were the lines go in one direction

[@Sync_Shard]

The Zebra has a special pattern to confuse predators when there are many zebras close together, their strange pattern makes predators think there are much more then what there actually is. It sort of works for warships if there are many, but they’re often separated by very contrasting blue, clear, or gray water. I would think Multicam camo would be better though.

[@DesidiosumCorporosumHominis]

It's called dazzle camouflage or razzle dazzle if you want to look it up. It's not for concealment but to make it much more difficult to figure out things like the ship's heading, its speed, its armaments or even what class it is. It was also supposed to make it difficult or nearly impossible for someone to use a rangefinder to figure out how far away the ship is. Using prisms and lenses a rangefinder shows you an image broken into parts. Once adjustments are made to align the broken image it told you how far away your target is. With the irregular lines of dazzle camo it's hard to tell if the broken image is aligned even when it is.

[@r.cdahuman7682]

@@DesidiosumCorporosumHominis yeah ik, I just couldn't remember the name, one of my other replies mentioned the name lmao. Still, its super interesting

[@Deadchannel06]

[@emeraldmaster5388]

I always enjoy seeing The vehicles each faction makes to solve the same problem and how it differs from faction faction For example what did each faction make for a light fast maneuvering vehicle The UNSC: the mongoose The covenant: The ghost The Banished: The chopper (I know the chopper was used by the covenant but it’s very clearly a brute vehicle)

[@aaroncabello8221]

The cruel irony about the chopper was that it was a farming tool made as a peace offering by the Huragok, but hijacked and turned into a weapon by the Brutes.

[@badideagenerator2315]

The zebra pattern on the enduring locust is probably flash colouration which redirects enemies attention (and therefore) the focus of their fire towards its armoured hull instead of the vehicle's crew compartment. Flash colouration was historically used on battleships to counter submarines by confusing the guy using its periscope before the invention of SONAR.

[@WarMachene527]

I like how he has to flex the needler replica in his merch announcement. To be fair though it's a badass replica and the shirt designs are quite nice.

[@data7193]

Fun fact, the scarab wasn't actually meant to be a combat vehicle, it's a mining drill, which they use for quarrying and excavating.

[@Nicolos117]

Yeah but a pickaxe can still kill someone lol

[@LeQuartermaster]

The Skiff looks like a mix between a Shadow from Halo 2, and a Prowler

[@BaronLickilicky]

Gotta say, I'm loving your t-shirt designs. You clearly have some talent for it! You've hit a nice blend of your own style while still looking 'Halo'. I really enjoy your use of colours, retro-aesthetic and Japanese writing. I could see these selling anywhere!

[@wackydavebobbybobbin8353]

Glad to see another iconic video in my notifications.

[@gendygoblin8391]

A lot of the classic vehicles look like they were just up armored and given a different plasma type. The Scarab is probably the biggest change.

[@LazyLoonz]

Imagine having all these vehicles in Halo infinite's multiplayer warzone mode Massive warzone maps and having the ability to summon any alien as a ally to go with you, or a expensive Grunt Mek with a grunt inside that follows you around

[@joshtovey2602]

your an absolute genius Hidden X, love your passion on the lore and no joke... you are my go to for halo knowledge. Keep it up!

[@ethanclarke1347]

Something that I'm worried about in Infinite is that the developers will ignore the designs from Halo wars 2. From what I've seen, they made the elites blue and the grunts orange again, which isn't really "Banished". I haven't seen the spike rifle, the marauder, the reaver, the blisterback or the shroud. I REALLY hope Infinite will have the same things Halo Wars 2 did. That's just my opinion.

[@Bruh-qt7ql]

I agree

I'd like to see skitterers in infinite. I can just see myself moving up a mountain or something and just getting swarmed by them. Would be pretty cool

Then THREE REAVERS JUMP OUT FROM BEHIND THE HILLS WITH THEIR THRUSTERS FIRING. THEIR ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILES ARE TARGETING BROHAMMER!! You have to destroy them before you're escape is compromised.

[@rowanhuh8761]

It’d be cool if you fought the banished scarabs in infinite like in halo 3, except it’d be different, where you could grapple hook onto the top. Once on the top, and then do a hijacking animation for breaking the hatch where all the crew is, but you’d have to melee it only. After breaking the hatch, you’d jump down, kill the crew, and destroy the scarab by destroying a weak spot on the inside.
