Dude, The Interplanetary Wars are literally the Halo Universe SCREAMING at 343 for a prequel game...Imagine the possibilities, the new guns, vehicles and factions that were used during those conflicts or better yet a game set during the Insurrection leading up to the Covenant's sudden arrival and the sheer chaos that ensued in those planets were the UNSC and Rebels were fighthing each other when Aliens showed up.

In an alternate timeline where the United nations is actually capable of waging war

[CyberSonic-V.]

Don’t see this part of Halo’s history get touched upon that much so I’m looking forward to this.

[Catman]

Lmao imagine being an uncontacted Amazonian hunter-gatherer and watching as commandos engage in firefights throughout your patch of forest. Then at the end they climb into the ass of a giant metal bird with wings of fire and fly away. You’d be wondering who slipped the ayahuasca tea into your waterskin.

The mars campaign & the conflicts between the UNSC & the koslovics was probably what gave inspiration for the story of COD. Infinite warfare IMO.

Faire Isle: Declares independence.

UNSC: Declares *EXTERMINATUS*

343: "We're out of ideas!"

Halo lore: "We have the Interplanetary War and Human-Forerunner War."

343: "I said, we're out of ideas!"

This channel is such a pleasure. So many channels are insipid and derivative but it’s beyond clear that 00 does his own research and writing with thought put into every step. We’ll never know all the work that’s been put into this channel but we can all tell that it’s a head above the rest.

The Expanse is what kind of I imagine Pre-FTL Sol System was like in Halo especially in the outer planets. The MCRN Donnager class battleship even looks it could have been a forerunner to the Paris class

[FelixUmbra]

24:45 So you're telling me that Cole committed a War Crime?
Playing on the compassion of your enemy to ask for aid and then betraying that aid is a disgusting and cowardly effort.
Such a hero.

[Ikcatcher]

It would be kinda cool to see a spin off series taking place during this time, there’s like 400 years worth of history in Halo thats just left forgotten

[BiasedCookie]

Imagine a halo game from the insurrection perspective and having to fight Spartans. The mission when you first encounter one could be in a dark station and the spartan is running around killing your teammates as you narrowly escape him

[Ratkill]

War...war never changes. No matter the universe, it's the truth.

[traumachild]

One thing to add onto this, earlier on in humanities expansion into deep space and forming of the outer colonies, they had remained mostly independent, though the UEG still kept a watchful eye on them. However pirates started becoming a big problem in the outer colonies resulting in these colonies asking for help from the UNSC to help guard against these pirates, over time the UEG and UNSC control over the outer colonies grew more authoritarian resulting in the hard push back from Outer Colnies for independence, the rest is history

[TheBlackAztec]

Imagine what history class is like for humans after the human-covenant war. Theyd have a lot of stuff to learn

[shepardcommander]

In the books anytime someone would call the unsc fascists I always thought it was really cringe because the evidence they provided was crap and that it only applied to oni but I was wrong, the unsc sucks

[thorshammer]

The interplanetary war is very similar to the setting of COD Infinite Warfare's solar system war as pointed out by the one and only Hiddenxperia.

By the way I thought the game's designs were pretty cool.

[teamancilla]

The politics behind the Interplanetary War is fascinating, as it’s somewhat realistic to what may happen to us today. Given that space travel wasn’t anywhere near as sophisticated at the end of the 21st and the entirety of the 22nd century, any law Earth passed wouldn’t really be well enforced outside of her orbit. The actions taken by corporations flocking to Mars to worm their way out of Earth’s laws, was bound to lead to anti-capitalist/pro-communist movements. Similar things can be said to the Jovian Moons. If Earth can’t really enforce its rule on Mars, then what would it do with the Jovian Moons? It’s frankly a miracle and testament to the early UNSC that with such limitations on space travel, it was able to support multiple interplanetary campaigns around Sol.

[romellohodge]

When you realize the UNSC are the REAL bad guys before the Covenant & Flood showed up.

[mikael]

I would like a huge campaign set in the interplanetary wars playing as an ODST. Would be great if they made the game really dark to get the despair of war.
