Halo Universe VS Star Wars Universe
Cirevam and 3 others reacted to Lair for a topic
You should probably see a doctor about that. I'm not sure what ships you're looking at. Okay. They look "good." *opinion Kind of like you? Why would I look past the gameplay? I mean, it's a GAME. I have at least one game with wonky gameplay that I like for the story so I can't really say anything here. Like how you don't like ships shaped like triangles? You based it on some research and a lot of your opinion. How? Halo is MEGABLOCKS, not Lego. That kind of means it loses. Then how is he able to run this site and post? Oh, you mean figuratively. Then no, he's still not.4 points -
Halo Universe VS Star Wars Universe

You're killing me Extreme. You have an ally in me that I too love the Halo universe but to switch the debate to one over starship aesthetics is pointless. NO S*** UNSC fighers/warships look more like aircraft - they take current designs and project them 500 years in the future. The Sabre is essentially a B2 bomber with fighter functionality added - and that's OK! I love its look. But to say that the designs of the Star Wars universe are disgusting because they don't follow current designs is absurd. Of course they look different. Lucas had to create an entire universe unlike our own. I think it's insulting that you so easily dismiss such imaginative designs and configurations because the craftsmanship and creativity put into making them was unprecedented. NO ONE had done that to such an extent before Star Wars. And so what if a troop transport is a box with wings (which is obviously an over-simplification)? What is a Pelican but not a box with four rectangular thrusters? Humans like geometric shapes. And how dare you sir insult the shape of the Star Destroyer. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, its design is simple and elegant. It doesn't have to be complex to be beautiful or effective. Now, that's more my opinion but what I think you will find true is that the Star Destroyer is probably the most iconic ship out of all of science fiction. While I love the engineering and general look of UNSC ships as I think they are extremely appropriate for the formulation of human society in the future, you cannot look at this and tell me that those are "sleek." They are boxy and geometric. They are essentially skyscrapers turned on their side. And that's fine - I have no problem with that. I love the industrial feel. Certainly the Covenant ships have a more cultured look, with all the curves but I don't think they look particularly attractive. To me they look like strangely baked French begets. I appreciate them for what they are though. Truly, they are built for function more than form. I find it laughable that you bring these points up after I addressed them and you failed to respond. The Sabre is a 26th Century B2 fighter-bomber. It uses kinetic energy weapons and is unshielded. It would not stand up to any Star Wars fighter in either space or atmospheric combat. The same goes for the Banshee. It's a light fighter without shielding. Perhaps a bit more of a challenge but an X-Wing or TIE Interceptor would make short work of it.4 points -

Um, The Prophets were truly trying to activate the rings based on their beliefs of The Forerunners Great Journey. Halo 3 Master Chief told 343 Guilty Spark to activate the new Installation 04 which wipes out the covenant, left behind humans, and the flood at the Ark. Even though only I 04 was the only ring to really fire, it still was successful at its job to wipe out the sentient life within the rings effect. But that is only describing the games. The books go into detail about the rings which play a key role in the entire Halo story. Its not just the Human/ Covenant War, The Halo story starts 1,000,000 - 500,000 years ago, beginning with the Precursers and such.1 point -

I've already addressed this. The Rings do not fit into any quantitative assessment of the two universes because neither the UNSC nor the Covenant would truly activate them. Destroying all life in the universe is a pretty zero-sum scenario to win a war, thus they cannot be entered as a military advantage.1 point -

So here is the question. What is the best Object in Star Wars? For Halo, it is Installation 00, The Ark. It can Remotely fire the 7 Halo rings (originally there were actually 12 rings to begin with until Mendicant Bias seized controll of 5 of them, in which the Forerunners then destroy) And it can also re-create the rings. Being a world of its own, The Ark is also located outside of the galaxy for protection and security. Anything in Star Wars that can top that?1 point -

The best approach to recreating that would certainly involve a magnificent useage of Hero Factory and Bionicle Pieces, as well as standard and technic bricks for fine details. Purple and neon green too... I simply do not have the resources to build such a thing.1 point -

"Hey, Johnson. When are you gonna tell me how you made it back home in one piece?" "Sorry, Guns. It's classified." "Ha! My ass! Well you can just forget about the upgrades to your A2 unit!" "Well he's in a particularly fine mood." And that is how Johnson survived the destruction of Halo Installation 04.1 point -

LEGO City elected a new mayor, who decreased subsidies to safety equipment companies as the city budget was slashed. So life preservers are now much smaller and less effective. They can't afford to develop any bigger ones.1 point -
