Halo universe vs Mass Effect universe

SecondClass · October 04, 2015, 06:33:11 PM

Which one wins?

Korra · October 04, 2015, 06:34:14 PM

Halo universe because Book Covenant, Book Forerunners, Post-War UNSC and Silentium Flood.

October 04, 2015, 06:35:45 PM

There was an argument involving how the UNSC alone was far more powerful than the full alliance in Mass Effect.
Sooooooo

BaconShelf · October 04, 2015, 06:36:45 PM

The covenant curbstomp a anything in ME. The UNSC slightly less curbstomps.

The forerunners, flood, ancient humanity or precursors is basically the boot to the anthill.

The only advantage mass effect has is numbers, but one UNSC AI (much less a forerunner) could pretty much hack the entire Geth collective and lose ME it's only advantage.

Mass Effect gets the Reapers though

Reapers get reap'd by the Covenant.

Hell they could make a dozen or so of those NOVA bobms and have a single one on a ship and send that into a fleet or to a planet.

Reapers don't even have enough strength to properly contend with fucking UNSC starships. the UNSC would start to lose at that level since Reapers have the advantage of range and mobility, which is primarily why the UNSC got fucked so hard in space battles with the Covenant.

But the Reapers would take heavy hits. Anybody else who came along at that point could clock their shit.

Take the Forerunner Keyship from the middle of High Charity and the deed would be solo'd.

OT: Mass Effect is the weakest sci-fi universe so Halo wins easily.

UNSC alone could literally wipe the Mass Effect Universe in a matter of days if not hours just be strapping nukes to enough Mass Relays and slip-spacing away

big sponge · October 04, 2015, 07:45:59 PM

A UNSC frigate is more powerful than a citidel dreadnought.

This isn't really a fair fight.

I_IRONMAN_I · October 05, 2015, 12:50:09 AM

ME gets buttfucked, shredded, put back together with more assholes, and buttfucked by everything.

UNSC and Covies are more than a threat to almost all components of the ME verse. You have Culture-lite Forerunners who could solo the MEverse with one ship. Same with ancient humanity.

And the Floodcursors finally turn the galaxy into a giant pulsating flesh pancake spreading out to make a fleshy universe.

Luciana · October 05, 2015, 12:54:22 AM

Both are ruined by shit developers by even more greedy publishers. Who cares. But if we must

Halo has a good 400 years on Mass Effect, so... I mean, not a fair fight. Maybe Halo vs Star Wars.

aREALgod · October 05, 2015, 12:57:50 AM

ME, easily. I don't know why this is even up for debate. With all ME races included the UNSC and Covies would be horribly overwhelmed.

Tell that to the Aztec when the Spanish rolled over them.

Better tech = a significant advantage

Germany was also fighting a war on two fronts, so yeah.

The massive ships and men the Covvie and Humans have would easily win I would wager.

Yeah, so? Germany's main focus was the Eastern front. That's where they sent the vast majority of their forces and where the biggest and bloodiest battles occurred. So really the point of them fighting on two fronts is moot.

"Easily win" LOL. Just like the fearsome Ferdinand in the Battle of Kursk, right? The new Nazi death machine, toppled by some slavs with little training and poorly equipped.

Doctor Doom · October 05, 2015, 01:03:43 AM

All of Mass Effect could hold off the UNSC via superior numbers, faster ships, and hella durable reapers. Maybe the Covenant, if they're alone.

Forerunners make those advantages irrelevant, though.

I honestly don't know. I'm not all into the precise tech of the ships of Halo, nor do I read the books. I just know the ships are monstrosities that have 400 years of tech over the Mass Effect ones., ESPECIALLY the covenant.
