Halo Infinite - Frigate fires at assault carrier

Mac rounds in atmosphere?
________________________________________________________
I think this is a Alance class UNSC frigate with instead of a MAC gun it fires a laser (at a CAS-assault carrier). I don't know how I feel about replacing MACs, but it sure looks and sounds awesome!

A classic case of unsc ships doing nothing to covenant ships, but looking really cool while they do it

[graxon]

Frigate: *Fires a MAC round that travels at Mach 7

Assault Carrier: “Don’t care tbh”

[herobrineop]

Frigate: *fire *

Carrier: “oh no, anyway”

[Snickersnek]

"Shipmaster, shields down 5%!"
"We're down to 5% shields already?!"
"No shipmaster.. we took 5%- 4% now, shields are recharging."
"Oh. Ignore them then."

[owendiaram]

Shipmaster: "Did we sustain any meaningful damage?"
Banished: "No, but it looked fucking awesome though."

MAC round?! In atmosphere?!


PS: I know it's in video description, but I had to

I just absolutely adore how most UNSC ships are just giant guns with engines!

[TheVivapinsam]

It would be kinda comedic if the frigate just slowly backed up after realising it didn't do shit

[Ultramanfan]

It's too bad they never delay the sound effect when something is kind of far away. That would make it 10/10.

*UNSC Frigate:* _"Fire at full power!"_

*Covenant Cruiser:* [Loud *WORT WORT WORT* noises]

[OverLorD]

I just hope this means we'll see a big UNSC vs Banished moment in the campaign.

[bunchofnuts]

That firing sound and the carrier shielding effect is 11/10

[venerablebrothergoriate]

Chief: “Ineffective hit, Captain.”
Captain: *[HEADBUTTS CONTROL CONSOLE]*

In the novels one of the ways they succeeded in actually hurting Covenant ships was that they timed the firing of the MAC guns to the impact of a huge volley of missiles. The MAC guns from the larger UNSC ships could drop the shields of most Covenant ships, but only just. Leaving the UNSC ships vulnerable as they recharged the magnetic cannon. In the meantime the Covenant ships would fire back with their plasma torpedoes that basically melted the armor of the UNSC ships while recharging their shields. MAC guns just couldn't recharge fast enough for the second shot before the Covenant shields were back up. So, in one battle the UNSC timed their missile salvos to impact within a split second of the MAC guns' impacts. This, along with another tactic of using a huge docking repair ship to sacrifice itself to cover the fleet while the MAC guns reloaded accounted for one of the only space victories we humans had against a Covenant fleet until the first battle of Earth. It was still a pyrrhic victory for the UNSC navy though in the amount of ships they barely had left after the "win". If you're a Halo fan, I highly recommend reading the book series.

Frigate: shakes yes
Carrier: shakes no
Frigate: understandable, have a nice day *backs into cloud*

[FlamingTurkeyBacon]

Assault Carrier : "Must have been the wind."

I love the idea that one of humanity’s strongest cannons, which can basically level an entire city, can do nothing against a “normal” covenant ship.

[SmileyTheMadman]

Not gonna lie, I feel like the weapon should shake the map more and show the magnitude of such a powerful weapon imposes onto the battlefield. Make it loud and enough for the players on the map to feel the immense power of such a weapon. Like for example throw a bit of a shockwave that hits the map once the weapon fires.

So happy the brought back the classic Covenant assault carrier design. Its one of my favorite ship designs in media.
