Forgive me if this has been done before in one form or another; I can't figure out how to work the search function.(it'd be nice if bungie could fix the UI for this site.)

For this debate the two empires will be tasked with taking over a planet; taking it from the natives and the Rivaling Empire. Their reward will be the thing they most desire(finishing the great journy for the covies, unititing the galaxy under the greater good for the Tau.)

they will invade the neutral world from portals, each side given multiple portals spread out across the world. Each portal is just big enough to allow their biggest super heavy vehicles through.(Scarabs and mantas respectively)

And now the random world will be....

*picks a slip of paper from a top hat.*

World War series Earth(imagine if WW2 was invaded by alien lizardmen, the Race, armed with Modern weapons and a few more advanced gear).

The Covenant portals will be in Ontario Canada, st. Petersburg Russia, and the panama canal.

The Tau Portals will be in sidney Australia, Bejing China, and Cario Egypt.

Both Empires are given detailed information about the planet and it's current history(IE wars, who's alied with who, ETC); they are also given vauge details about their rival empire.

Who will rise victorious?

The Covenant, because this is the Halo forums, giving them the insurmountable advantage of plot armour.

Tau.

It's from warhammer, and everything from warhammer is overpowered as hell.

I sincearly hope you can back this up, because the same can be said for the Tau if not more-so in the case of technologies.

based on what i've seen of the covies and looked up about the tau if it was on foot thetau wins for vehicles covies but since both ground troops and vehicles are being used i'd have to say tie

A small note; Aircraft are allowed(barracudas, banshees, seraphs, mantas, Etc) just nothing larger than a manta super heavy bomber And/ or Scarab walker. No need for this debate to have to be muddied about which stelar navy is better.

Also, what of the native forces?(ww2 earth and the Race). How will the Covenant and Tau interact with them? How will the natives react? Which empire will be able to take the Planet?

i'd say the tau might win cause the natives join the tau forces for survival etc if the earth natives don't join the tau then the covie'd win

Why would the covies win? The Tau equivilents to most of the covenant forces usually have a better Kit, in terms of equipment and weapons.

because if the natives don't join either side it'd come down to skill and since the covies have beings like the hunters on their side i side with them on this one

Since you know the Tau don't have their own large and heailly armed and armoured infantry units like The Broadside, Crisis, and Hazzard Battlesuits; all of which can take energy shields and some of those can fly. The Broadsides Carry vehicle smashing Railguns while the Crisis and Hazzard have Fusion Blasters that can melt tank armour.

So how does having Hunters improve the chances of Covenant Victory again?

Why are all these vs threads popping up again and most of them are Haloverse vs Starwarsverse. I thought the mods started cracking down on these?
