We'll bury our burdens in blood...

This has come up before in other threads but we haven't got clear answers in my opinion. I would like to start comparing tactical data. I'll do my best to contribute but I'm sure most of you already have some solid intel on the matter. I'm looking for measurement data specifically. For instance, how many fighters/infantry/equipment can a Covenant Super vs. a Super Star Destroyer. Or how do Spartans, Elites, Stormtroopers, and Clones stack up against each other. Post what ever you have.

well me personaly, i love the halo galaxy but i belive that the stars wars galaxy would win with out numbers

  • 02.21.2011 4:21 PM PDT

I am a monument to all your sins

covenant would win on the ground, but unless the forerunners are in this fight Star Wars would annihilate the Covenant and UNSC in space. The forerunners would absolutly dominate Star Wars however.

No new games, catching up with the world, and filling it with the name of SpazDragon, the dragon with a spas-12.

I'm mostly neutral between both universes, and hopefully not putting anything at risk by doing this.

Compared, both sides of troops are have their advantages and disadvantages. I'll start by comparing Spartans to different sets of troops.

I think the Spartans are closer in comparison to Republic Commandos, even though the Commandos lack augmentations that increase attributes(consider S.P.E.C.I.A.L.). In tactics, or weapon carrying, Spartans can only carry two weapons at the same time, while Commandos have a single weapons that can change whenever needed, along with a blade ejecting gauntlet. Both have energy shielding. Both have similar ranks, and each troop within a squad have advantages(i.e. Demolition, Speed, Sniping, etc.).

In a typical sense, Marines are similar to the way Clones are: Both are limited(One's population while the other is Cloning). They are the general ground troop, and carry basic weapons. Both are effective but not professional unless proven. Ranks are the same.

Some other species are probably closest to other Species in Halo:

Sangehili-Trandoshan
Yanme-Geonosian
Unggoy-(I'm not sure)
Jirilhanae-Wookie
San'Shyuum-Yoda's Species or Quermian
Kig-Yar-Fosh
Hurogok-No freaking idea.
Forerunner-Raakata

As you can probably tell, I'm a nerd of both things. Both universes are similar, yet Halo's is smartly simple, and star Wars, is mostly random(It was hard to pick a similar species.)

So, yeah.

No star wars would win in space and ground. Stormtroopers and clone commandos are one thing but the vehcals(spellsucks)jedi and sith would destroy.

join KOTOR

In 2001, gaming changed forever. The time of Halo.

The Star Forge would be Star Wars' victory

Yes also include the forerunners... so what the Empire made a bioweapon that turned poeple into zombies which could be compared to the flood annd we all know forerrunners + flood = badness

  • 02.21.2011 4:51 PM PDT

forunners didn't make flood.
precursors somehow engineered them, or they came from intergalactic space somehow

No flood would be destroyed with plant killing lasers that would destroy the flood

I think the Star Wars navies combined would beat the Halo navies combined.

But, I don't know enough about Star Wars to make a good judgment. Warhammer 40K on the other hand is on a whole different level...

nahhhh, way too infectious, and aggressive.

Okay. I see I was much too broad. It's true the flood would eat everyone. So lets keep it simple for now. Start with Capitol Ships.

super star destroyers had super lasers which destroyed everything. UNSC had super macs and Covi had glassing beams and heavy plasma cannons. Star wars beats them

  • 02.21.2011 5:09 PM PDT

forerunners had better than all of that, or at least as good as that I think it's safe to say. flood beat them. I think it's also safe to say that if the flood gets off of any planet, there's no stopping it

No one really knows what Forerunner tech does. All we can say is that they can super-combine beams. Star Wars superlasers work that way too, so we can't really judge

I think halo stuff is generally tougher than star wars stuff honestly. covenant ships have shields, UNSC ships have MAC guns.

Lol, Star Wars ships have that. The most basic Star Wars ships have shields and Tyber Zann's cruisers use Mass-Drivers, which are MAC guns w/ a different name.

I think Star Wars ships carry a tactical advantage in that they have Ion Cannons, which neither UNSC nor Covenant ships have thus far been mentioned as having


EDIT: I meant Tyber Zann's Frigates use Mass-Driver Cannons, not his cruisers
