There is no escaping a Halo ring.


Are you for real? If they fired the Halo ring it would kill everything leaving NO-ONE to win.

Star Wars wins hands down.

And for you Forerunner fanboys boasting about numbers... The Star Forge can amass limitless amounts of Huge Fleets out of nothing!

Now this thread is over.

Said fleets are then gridfired and destroyed. Entire solar systems die in fire as supernovas go off all over the place. The Forerunners still take this. What part of Culture level do you not understand?


But Jedi that has drank from FoP and is within PoK still has infinite force powers and knowledge about everything.

Good luck beating something that has ability to create force storms and basicly anything related to force without any limit to strengthen them.


I'm pretty sure that they would not be immune to everything, no matter what uber Force powers they have, they're still mortal...and if my understanding of the place these things are from, it would mean that they're essentially at the mercy of Aboleth (or however her name is spelled), and she's a real monster. So I really don't think they'd become that powerful, and you do realize how hard that sort of power would be to contain or control right?

Honestly I would say the only people with any chance would be the Covenant, and they are still at a huge disadvantage in terms of man-man combat (lesser technology). Not to mention in Star Wars there is evidence of advanced AI being used plentifully while the Covenant pretty much lack it altogether. The UNSC just has too big of a technological gap. Laser weaponry and shielding would stop their missiles cold and there is no guarantee that a MAC round would make it anywhere with the amount of energy weapon firepower present on ships like Star Destroyers and other large ships.

Are you reading anything I have posted? The Forerunners take this. Factpile agrees. Spacebattles agrees.

Yeah but you way over estimated every thing, so I think nobody is taking you seriously. I mean, a Promethean can not just "slag" an entire continent when ever he or she wishes.

That's what I took the description in the book to mean. Sorry.

Nah man, its fine.

I love how you assume the Rings would virtually destroy the Empire. False. The Empire have a failsafe plan for anything similar to that.

The plan would basically be set once they have detected several specialized units deceased and thus launch the plan. The plan would basically be the Droids and security systems already on board will kick in and the ships will lock down and send a distress signal back to the Star Wars Galaxy.

The Rings would cause nothing but harm only the milky way, it's suicide for the Forerunner unless they can make it to the shield worlds.

This would cause a new Imperial fleet to show up, which would have information based on what happened and the enemy weaponry, thus giving them time to create a counter for their weaponry and protection. By this time the Empire would certainly know of the rings and their power, and the new ships would come in and destroy the ARK or at least a few rings using droid controlled ships (if they didn't know about the rings already and had destroyed at least a few, seeing how they aren't really superweapons so much as an MAD device), which honestly wouldn't take them very long since the ARK is located exactly where they suspect it would be.

HyperSpace is also much faster than that of Coveant slipspace speed, over a thousand fold. I have no idea how fast Forerunner slipspace if anyone could give me that information.

Empire battletroops may seem a bit off in the Movies, but their true nature is shown in the recent prequels. There are so many it's impossible to count. With estimates in the tens of quadrillions with many more still being made.

The number of Forerunner ships is big, yes, but numbers do not always win. A small hit and run on the Ark would be enough, a couple trillion Star Destroyer II ships would be enough.

No, numbers don't always win. But that's where batcrap insane firepower succeeds. You speak of a couple trillion Star Destroyers. Proof that the Empire has fielded such a fleet, please.

GE Infantry get pwned by Prometheans. This has been discussed already.

Forerunner ships travel at great magnitudes of .c. If you would look at the link provided, and ignore Episky's rambling...

Counter for Forerunner weaponry? Good lord, man... Entire swarms of SSDs are being shot from the sky, and you think that the GE has some sort of godshield hidden away somewhere?


He's bull-blam!- you. The largest fleet the Empire ever fielded (Sector Fleet I believe it was) was 25,000 ships. The largest known Forerunner fleet was several trillion ships and weapon platforms (again, most likely automated). In fact, if the Forerunners can produce automated ships on such a scale as indicated, its likely they have as many ships if not more then the CIS has droids.

Besides, Onyx class Sentinels would wipe the floor with the CIS' droids, no argument there.

In fact, I think its obvious Halo wins surface battles.

LOL! The Covenant alone can defeat the whole Star Wars universe

No. They'd have a chance against the Imperial Navy, only if they were stealthy. A Covenant Assault Carrier's plasma cannons are 4 times more powerful then the SMAC (to vaporize a 3000 m in diameter asteroid, you'd need a force of 202.1 gigatons).

But the UNSC/Covenant are more supplementary.

You know they retconed (or however you spell it) the asteriod seen, right? I believe Nylund him self said it made the ship too over powered, so they changed it. The new approximate power of the shot is way less, I'm not sure how much but by a lot.

"Time was your ally human. But now it has abandoned you. The Forerunners....have returned. And this tomb... is now yours". - The Didact

Forerunner infantry weapons can not slag continents. I think the author meant that the weapons wielded by the two races (forerunner and human) were so powerful that continuous combat of the period of several hours pretty much destroyed the continents surface.

A war sphinx=Forerunner infatry mech suit,read the quote better it's able to sweep entire continents and cities.Forerunner cities are the size of continents just like Coruscant.So it all makes sense

The constant fighting between the two forces destroying a continent surface is more likely then one infantryman going "lul going to slag this entire place by myself in a few minutes."

Read the quote again, it says a single war sphinx could sweep continents and decimate cities,that's above any star wars infatry could do.It would even give SD's a run for it's money.

The second quote on the prophets homeworld decribes "divots" tearing of the damn crust of the plant in seconds.

Yes but you have to remember that those were not the same rings featured in the Halo games, they were prototypes and if Forerunner weapons and equipment evolve the way we think they do, then the second set of rings would be far more powerful. Also, ten petatons would destroy a Jupiter sized planet. Theres no need for a weapon of that magnitude, as even if the forerunners could hypothetically create shields to withstand such an impact, the force of the impact alone would vaporise the ship underneath the shield.
Also, the planet Charum Hakkor was not destroyed in battle but instead by the firing of one of the original Halo rings on low power. The planet was heavily damaged by the combination of Human and Forerunner weapons, yes, but it was not destroyed an rendered uninhabitable.


They weren't prototypes,they were the same Halos and the 7 from the current timeline.

First the runners built 12,one of them was in Mendicants Command.And ROBERTO said in another thread that's it's installtion 05 ,cause the name of MB says 05-032
,just like Sparks name 04-343
And it makes perfect sense,the precursor is probably the gravemind and we know the mind was hiding on 05 for years,in Cryptum the Precursor was on Mendicants ring too(probably 05)

In the battle 5 rings were in control of Mendicant,7 rings tried to escape to the ark.One of the 7 was destroyed,the other 6 were savely at the ark.Now we still have the 5 other rings,one of them was destroyed and most likely the others too except the ring where MB and the Precursor were on.And Greg talked in his forum about one rogue ring in Cryptum 2.

Conclusion:
6 rings are on the ark,the others are destroyed except 05.And somehow the 4runners will have 05 back but with the mind in it.
Sooooo the 7 rings are part of 12,and are 30000 km.That puts the autumn detonation at 10 petaton.


And how was this figured out? Please explain

The explosion was the size of the inner smallest ring of the symbol on the planet.Rama in spacebattles calculated so,the link of that is in another thread.

You know, for -blam!-s and giggles I went to halopedian to see if I could confirm some of this stuff (having not read the book).

They say NOTHING about War sphinx's being able to single-handedly destroy continents.

Seriously, you seem to be god-modding the forerunners. If they were THAT DAMN POWERFUL. How the hell did they lose to the flood?

edit: Another point my bro brought up. How would the Forerunner survive destroying the Continent he is on?

Second edit: Again, how could you calculate that? We don't know how big that circle was, nor the size of the planet!

You should take a look at this:

pg95 Cryptum

We crossed the inner lake in minutes,a leisurely pace for a craft designed to drop from high orbit,sweep continents,and decimate cities.The only thing these old machines lacked,i thought,was a direct connection to slipspace.But i didn't know that fore sure.




Notice how it doesn't uses plural,it says "craft",proves a single war sphinx could do that.Time period of it is enough,but might be short time as it says "sweep" instead of "sweeping"

I'm not god modding them,i'm stating what Cryptum says.If you have a problem with it then you can contact Greg Bear or 343I.

And as for the flood thing,we don't know that.But i see that people usually think of combat forms,all those basic forms from the games.The 4 runners fought a worse version of the flood,the ones in the games were just a small infestation.

It just proves how badass the flood are and how they can adapt to kick ass.Even a primitive version of the flood kicked Human ass before the Humans found a "cure" to stomp them out of the galaxy.

@cmr

Forerunner war sphinx can fly,they probably bombard a planet from above.But at that other quote on the prophet homeworld,the forerunner had no problem fighting on a planet which was being teared apart in progress.

-You have a point.,it might be the size of Mars or the size of Reach,we don't know that.But can use low and high end stuff to find out how powerful it is.

So, without proof, you just randomly pull out of your ass "The forerunners must of fought a tougher form of the flood!"

Ugh, this is why forerunners and precursors, in my view, MUST be left out of all versus topics unless directly stated to be involved. To much damn "Oh we win because of this vague reference of how powerful it is!"

Oh, and without knowing how big that explosion is in origins, you cannot figure out how powerful the damn weapon is.

It's like my saying a bullet hitting a wall and leaving a dent is super powerful. Only, you don't know how big the dent is.

Edit: Also, I'll talk to my friend ASAP who has a copy of the book. Until then, I'm viewing half these "power statements" as mis-viewed as more powerful.

It isn't a primary point. They call it the Super Sentinel; the ten gigs was calculated based around the size of the explosion visible from space, not to be taken without a grain of salt. It was likely artistic license. But it did destroy a city with one shot, but ten gigs is questionable.

Super Sentinel? Like in Halo Wars? Good God, those things were annoying when in groups of 4-5.

You are taking this way out of context.

Bornstellar is commenting on the speed of the craft as it passes over the lake. To do this, he is putting this speed into context with respect to what the maximum speed that the machine can do. What bloody sense does it make to give an idea of the craft's speed by commenting on its firepower? None whatsoever. That would be like saying "This tank is moving unusually slow because it can blow up an entire house!" No logical connection whatsoever.

Sweep in this context is meaning that the craft at peak efficiency can move across entire continents very quickly, as opposed to the slow, leisurely pace that it took across the lake.

Final point. How redundant is the phrase "destroy entire cities" made if the previous phrase "Sweep continents" really meant wiping out vast areas of land equivalent to a continent? Very redundant, because it is a sure bet that any cities on that bloody continent will be "swept away" also. It is fruitless to actually point that out.

These silly little debates goad people into warping the meaning of texts in order to suit their own rubbish arguments.

I think they mean a sphinx acts similar to air calvary, quickly sweeping the area and decimating enemy positions with air acts, while simultaneously being able to act as a mecha unit. Think Vikings from Starcraft 2. It both flies and acts as a mechanized unit. However, they never say it could just "slag" an entire continent just like that.

As for decimate cities, modern day infantry can decimate a city in a matter of weeks so long as they are fighting continually, so super advanced, uber-powerful Forerunner infantry tech would probably be able to decimate a continent sized city in a few hours or days, as they never state how long they were fighting on the San Shyuum home world or on Charum Hakkor for that matter.

Also, by craft I believe the author was speaking about the crafts purpose ( an air calvary unit designed for continent sized operations)and not its capabilities as a singular unit.

The ODST quote was sarcasm. Campaign was awesome, I just am sick of people who whale on it because it doesn't have Competitive game modes.
Only reason I bought Reach was for the achievements and the campaign. Campaign was a disgrace. Achievements were easy. FF was an improvement... Competitive is way too much like CoD.

They say NOTHING about War sphinx's being able to single-handedly destroy continents.

A: perhaps because any sort of wiki is not a reliable source. The book says "Warrior Craft and automated weapon systems mostly too small to be visible--but I saw their effects. Dartng beams of needle light, glowing arcs cutting across continents, gigantic, stamplike divots punched into the crust, then lifted up, spun about, ovterturned." (Pg. 197)

And: "We crossed the inner lake in minutes, a leisurely pace for craft designed to drop from high orbit, sweep continents and decimate cities."

Both of these describe War Sphinxes, or warrior craft. Giant mech suits.


Seriously, you seem to be god-modding the forerunners. If they were THAT DAMN POWERFUL. How the hell did they lose to the flood?

A: Because the Flood's biology is perfect . People throw around the words perfect and infinite so much its meaning is lost. But I'm not kidding you when I say that the Flood is a virtual wild card. Everything it consumes it as a race gains the knowledge and abilities of, culminating in the perfect biological entity. Imagine an infected Jedi. The Gravemind then knows the ways of the Force. It is in the Flood's nature to keep killing; it does NOT stop once it gains a foothold.

edit: Another point my bro brought up. How would the Forerunner survive destroying the Continent he is on?

A: War Sphinxes fly

Second edit: Again, how could you calculate that? We don't know how big that circle was, nor the size of the planet!


A: which is why I said it was a minor point.

So, without proof, you just randomly pull out of your ass "The forerunners must of fought a tougher form of the flood!"

Really? "Flood biomass is composed of an undifferentiated cell type that is referred to as the Flood Super Cell (FSC), which can be described as aproximating "thinking muscle." The FSC closely resembles neurons or glial cells in structure. The Flood can arrange these cells to mimic any organ they might need.

Thats a pure form. A good example would be the Flood Thrasher form, designed specifically to destroy tanks.

Its actually pretty common knowledge that the Flood the Forerunners thought was worse. "9,045 survivors
barricaded within central government
building. Structure's defenses
inadequate to withstand extended
siege by enemy ground forces
( 1,572,034,315+)
. Estimate
position overrun in 173 hours."

1.5 billion forms of all types in a single swarm, in a single attack.


Ugh, this is why forerunners and precursors, in my view, MUST be left out of all versus topics unless directly stated to be involved. To much damn "Oh we win because of this vague reference of how powerful it is!"

You see thats a bull -blam!- excuse to rid Halo of two of its most powerful assests to loophole your way into an easier Star Wars win. I don't understand any other way you can take the blatant evidence before you that the Forerunners are technological gods to Star Wars.

Oh, and without knowing how big that explosion is in origins, you cannot figure out how powerful the damn weapon is.

You seem persistant to try and find loopholes to make Wars win. Honestly, you do. The power of the Forerunners is obvious. I'm not even talking about the Precursors because by their nature Star ars can't do anything to them. So they lose their automatically.

Not the Halo Wars version; the SS I'm talking about dwarfed Strato-Sentinels (the ones that take chunks out of planets to mine it). "Super Sentinel" is a place holder name because its real name is unknown.

Onyx Sentinel - Tech Level 3

Only one can be produced.

The most destructive variant of Sentinel thus encountered. Its beam weapon is so powerful, it seems to swat Covenant ships out of the sky.

Good way to add it into the game?

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

It eventually comes to super weapons in these threads, and it's always the same.

The Halo side names off the Rings, The Flood, Forerunners and Precursors. All fair and good arguments.

Star Wars side brings out, Yuuzhan Vong, Sun Crusher, Star Forge, Death Stars, Super Star Destroyers and of course the most powerful weapon in the arsenal, The Force.

Both sides are too stubborn to concede anything. The Star Wars guys ultimately win out, but because this is a Halo forum with so many die-hard Halo fans/connoisseurs the argument rages on.

The fact of the matter is, that until the Precursor are completely fleshed out as the overpowered super weapons they will become, Star Wars is going to win. And even then, Star Wars will still win because of the Force. It'll be much closer though.
