Halo: Defense of Taratoga | UE5 Space Battle

It's finally out! Lots of great things have been going on since my last video so this one has taken some extra time. Very happy to work with numerous talented people on this one including Chokepoint Games of the famous Sins of the Prophets mod. Very great team with lots of great people! I also have started a Patreon to help support and get fan feedback on future films! I have many new upcoming films already filling the pipeline and would like your input on which ones to do, naming ships, canon battles and much more. It already has directors commentary on all of my previous films as well. Check it out here: www.patreon.com/brussellstudios Thank you all and hope you enjoy

It should be noted: The Elites admired the humans persistence, honor, and sacrifice even against overwhelming odds of the full Covenant might. This was one of the reasons some Elites joined the humans during "The Great Schism;" aka, Halo 3. They believed the Prophets were wrong in not allowing the humans to join their Covenant.

This was utterly incredible! I love the inclusion of voice actors, subtitles, more obscure UNSC warships, and the pyrrhic nature of space combat against the Covenant. Even victory was hollow.

"I will not sacrifice this planet. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They glass entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!" -UNSC Captain

That Halbert really lived up to the namesake of a destroyer, had some of the biggest balls in the fleet.

You've achieved in 4 minutes what two seasons of a high budget TV show couldn't. An actual Halo space battle using actual canon weapons and tactics.

This is the best animation of Halo space battles I have probably ever seen, the weaponry design, the UNSC flak canons, the covenants anti missile point defense being little lasers was just magnificent

Forgot the part where 20 more covenant ships arrive after UNSC thinks they have a slight victory

Yes finally the Unsc catching a space w

Love the inclusion of the Able class

Microsoft and 343 may be incompetent sacks of lies, but through the fans this franchise survives. Thank you for this.

This is just a downright slaughter.

your work makes a grown halo fan cry, this one little story touched my heart, from the acting to your art, you have been doing more then what 343 WISH it could do..........keeping the halo spirit alive through your media, so AS a halo fan for over 18 years i thank you and wish you to keep these up, whether short or long, i will always be a fan!

Turned out absolutely gorgeous, the visuals, the scenery, the music and damn the voice acting ! What halo fleet battles deserved, alas.

My brother in the fight. This is absolutely amazing. I - the Able being chased by those 3 plasma torpedoes? BEAUTIFUL shot. I knew what was gonna happen but I was still freaking out a bit 😅 the music, the lighting, the EVERYTHING. thank you for including me in this!

"Status report." "The entire prow is gone, the humans' use of nuclear warheads is annoying but nothing to write home about." "Very well, we will begin orbital landing and secure a foothold on the human world. How long until reinforcements arrive?" "They are already here." "Good, hopefully the humans send their demons next time."

Thank you so much for making this. I teared up when the commander said "We are all that stands between these bastards and the 20 million souls below." This franchise is in desperate need of media like this and you can tell it was made with a lot of love.

This was really well done. There's a specific manner to space combat in Halo, as described by Eric Nylund in his novels, and you've captured it very nicely here. One small bit of feedback is that the UNSC had no countermeasures against plasma torpedoes. No known methods to confuse or interfere with their guidance and no way to shoot them down. It's part of what made the Covenant so unstoppable in space.

The Halo community is strong, I now know 3 channels that are animating their hearts out to tell the tell of Halo in their own way. And its awesome Keep it up. We await your next amazing Video.

Like Owen Wilson say one time: "Wow" that's absolutily awesome. If only Paramout was half talented than you are, the serie would have been great. 'Can't whait for the next battle.
