Post-War UNSC wins by a landslide.
Pre-Schism Covenant curbstomps.
Forerunners would swat the Mass Effect Universe like a fly.
Precursors are basically Gods, and essentially unkillable unless they allow it (see: Forerunners killing Precursors, because they didn't stop them from killing them)

Mass Effect is quite a weak Universe. The strongest force in that Universe is The Reapers, which really aren't that powerful.

God you're retarded. Yeah let's just forget that ME has trillions of soldiers available, vastly outnumbering both the UNSC and Covenant, who ONLY occupy a small PART of the Orion Arm while ME occupies ALL of the Milky Way.

This is like Germany fighting the USSR during WWII, but multiplied by a hundred. And unless you're also retarded to how history went, Germany lost. Halo doesn't have enough to fight and defeat ME.

You wank the ME's power like all hell. Those "trillions" of soldiers mean nothing when they're getting incinerated by covenant glassing beams.

That's implying the Covenant could surprise attack every ME world with enough force to destroy all opposing forces quick enough before the planet and every systems react, which is impossibly stupidly retarded, for a few reasons:

This implies the Covenant know the location of all ME worlds.

The Covenant have enough forces to attack all said worlds, all at once (which they don't and can't).

This implies the ME military forces would sit back and watch themselves die.

None of those are realistic in any sense. You put too much faith in Halo's capabilities.

Taken the situation that the UNSC (with their AI capabilities) are working with the Covenant, its possible that the UNSC ai's can hack the ME ships' databases. And seeing as the ME races seem to dislike the idea of AIs, they're at quite the disadvantage.

The covenant may not know where every world is, but whatever world they find is royally screwed.

Then you also have to take into consideration of the covie battleship that completely wrecked a fleet (killed 13 vessels of a fleet of 40 that were all firing on it). The covenant more than likely has more than just one of these ships.

Now realistically, the Supercarrier probably has much more firepower and shield power than this ship. And the Covenant undoubtedly has a few more than just the Long Night of Solace.

In space, ME is pretty screwed. On the ground they may have the advantage.

Except once again, ME has numbers beyond the Halo verse by a HUGE amount. The Quarians have a fleet of 50,000 alone. Plus, AI wise, the Geth more than make up for the AI issue ME has, with millions of units and thousands of ships - all equipped with hacking devices and hacking defenses. The Covenant doesn't have enough to combat 50,000 plus ships and win. This is also discounting the VI abilities ME has, which are capable enough to do the duty of absent AIs.

Lol the quarian fleet could be rolled over by one supercarrier

One supercarrier. And the only known amount of firepower that can take one out is a slipspace portal's worth. Which is a "kill all things that gets 'bit' in half by one"

God help any ME ship that follows a covie vessel into slipspace. Because their heat/radiation handling is piss poor. A plasma torpedo bypassing an ME ship would probably melt it in half.

LOL if you think a super carrier would beat 50,000 ships alone. Oh sure, a Tiger Tank racked up a high kill count, but would be overwhelmed in the end. That, and LOL BULLSHIT that only a slipspace rupture is the "only" known thing to kill one. Horseshit, since we saw them killed all the time outside of that with super mac guns.

Actually the heat and radiation handling of ME ships is great, because it's realistic. The heat you build up on a ship has to go somewhere.

Realistic? Lol you must be trolling.

The UNSC Commonwealth had a torpedo miss and it still boiled its plasma and wrecked a large number of decks alongside other things. Look it up.

A Covenant supercarrier is a vessel that is 27 km long and bristling with weapons. It was also the ship sliced in half by a slipspace rupture in Halo: Reach.

And you're right. There was another incident of the destruction of another Supercarrier. It was by the NOVA Bomb.

Now perhaps it would be taken out if all 50,000 of those ships were dreadnoughts. But realistically, that is not true. Also, realistically, the supercarrier will be supported by around 300 or so still superior-to-ME-ships. Which means that the fleet of 50,000 ships would possibly be pasted.

(playing Devil's advocate)
Take into consideration that these insects have competence. That means they know their own capabilities and more than likely they will strike when they feel ready. Hornets and yellow jackets are pretty heavy duty and produce giant hives. They more warriorish. Hornets may also be able to carry army ants on their backs meaning they can air drop those nasty asses on their enemies.

Lets look at rationing and food. You have honey bees, which make massive amounts of honey. In facts, they make more honey than necessary at times. Then there are the leafcutters who make fungus food farms. This is a secondary food source. The mass production would allow the armies to be well fed around the world. This means that honey bees and the leafcutter workforce will be kept behind the scenes.

I'll go on about their military numbers and strategies their new found competence would possibly allow soon.

We have napalm.

gg

Unless the insects, with their competence, create a contraption that allows them to use flight craft. If you don't think its possible for them to do so... Refer to this nightmare.

Spoiler

At this scale, they could create a contraption that allows them to pilot an aircraft (it may require a large of pilots, but the swarms of ant-totting wasps/hornets would be absolutely horrifying.

Napalm wouldn't matter when an insect infested aircraft:
a) flies overhead and releases the swarm. And if jets are involved, then they're actually hurting their own troops because shooting at a swarm of insects is as worthful as shooting peas falling out of the sky with a machine gun. From a distance.
b)the plane crashes into the troop and still unleashes the swarm. Flood-style.

It's a viable situation. And scary too.

It would take an eternity to construct something like that.

Not to mention that we still have missiles and flamethrowers.
Release a swarm my ass, flamethrowers.

Which is why they can prep till they feel ready. If they're brilliant enough, they could research means of fireproofing themselves.

Also option b (crashing plane) could be used via smashing said plane into the flamethrower guys. And don't disregard the ants. They could create tunnels and next thing you know you have wasps and hornets erupting out of the ground underneath you.

You tried to jerk me. I knocked you out.

Then repoted u

A conglomeration of Eldritch monsters is formed to destroy humanity. As follows:
Ants : Army ants, leafcutter ants, fire ants
Bees : Honey bees, bumblebees, solitary bees
Wasps : Paper wasps, mud daubers, tarantula killing wasps, yellow jackets
Hornets : Japanese Hornets

These are the forces of the invertebrate army. They're competent and will use their ability to where they'd make since.

Could these beasts defeat humanity?

"NO NUKES ALLOWED" nukes = insect victory

Blargh

Alright. Calm down pissy pants.
I don't see you jumping down anyone else's throat for mentioning something other than what the rules state.

Post-War UNSC + Pre-Schism Covenant would still win.

Ground forces would only just tip in ME's favour because of numbers and because they're outfitted in more than cardboard armour and aren't using outdated firearms (the UNSC, that is, besides the Spartans). The Covenant would stand a much greater chance on the ground because of their superior armour and weaponry.
The Prometheans would be a greater threat to ground forces too, because of superior tech, but the numbers of ME would become overwhelming at a point.
Air/Space combat? UNSC/Covenant would easily take that. Reapers are laughably weak, and the ships of the other races in ME are even worse than the Reapers are. The Halo Universe is significantly more advanced than Mass Effect is when it comes to ships and ship combat.


And ground forces mean jack shit when the Covenant can just bombard planets with plasma and turn them into smoldering wastelands.
Let's not forget about MAC bombardment by all UNSC ships, which would rip through everything (a standard MAC has a destructive output of about 64 kilotons of TNT). The MAC cannons on an orbital defense platform alone output up to 51 gigatons or force. The 4 MAC cannons on the Infinity can punch craters that are several miles wide and can knock in-atmosphere ships out of the air.

The 64 number belongs to a frigate. Which means that anything larger than that is much stronger. And plasma torps are megaton ranging weapons at most on a low end scale. 100,000 km range energy projectors probably significantly more powerful.

I've drank Fireball Whiskey, Apple Pie Moonshine, Long Hammer, Blue Moon, Yuengling, some sorta wine on new year's, Mike's Hard Lemonade, Bud light, "Rum n' Coke," and probably other ones if I could recall their names.

What alcohols have you drank in your life's history Flood?

Bonus Q, what's your favorite alcoholic beverage?
