I still have a love for the Halo 2 phantom. Not only was it a huge step up from the spirit dropship in Halo 1 with its troops dropping out through a gravlift being a more stunning way to add enemies to the fight, but they were also the most imposing dropship. They weren’t destructible like in future games and had 3 guns that made them a persistent enough threat to make me duck and cover if I didn’t have the rockets to knock the guns off. Then the inverse, the level the arbiter and quarantine zone where a phantom gives you support, and its so satisfying when the big ship with a bunch of guns is shooting others instead of you. Would be a treat to see those kinda phantom again.

Fun fact: The Phantom in Halo 2 has rear doors that never see use. This is how the ones at the docks at High Charity function. They originally would have been functional but in the final game are only part of the design. Imagine though, if the idea had been adopted, and Phantoms had 3 separate directions to board and disembark from, on top of the gravity lift.

While I like the modifications you made to the design in the end, I would alter it still. For starters I would place the weapons from that lower bay to the upper bay and convert that lower one into a small through hangar for banshee craft. It would be about the size to house probably 6-8 banshees, adding a dedicated escort squadron to it. That or remove the bays altogether as Master Chief just showed the issues with them. Otherwise, the mounted weapons on the ventral side I believe would help immensely in survivability and providing much needed heavy fire support.

I was also thinking of replacing those two bay doors with a secondary weapon that would be less destructive than the beam, but more destructive then the plasma turrets, as well as tertiary weapon meant for anti-infantry, like the phantom turrets. It turns it into more of a flying fortress, which is the only way I can think of making it as usable as a few phantoms. I also had an idea for Halo Wars to turn it into the Covenant's version of the Elephant from Halo Wars 1. It would activate it's gravity lift and you can use it to train infantry units. I would make it be a replacement for the Scarab for a leader as it would be considered an upgrade by my logic.

The Lich I actually really like, it's like the only Halo 4-5 era design I actually like. And I'd say the Lich is more comparable to the D20 Heron from Halo Wars, which is 127.7m used for base deploying, while the Lich does the same but in Halo Wars 2. Both are also too large to fit in standard ship hangars, Herons are stored under the... er "wings"? of the Spirit of Fire.

You homebrewed a gunship variant of the Lich. In one of my stories, crews would make some slight modifications to turn the open sides into bays for holding Banshees, making it a much more effective 'world patroller' as it can use the Banshees for covering more area in their patrols as well as being able to deploy its own escort or more effectively assist smaller dropships as a landing support vessel, coordinating air support so the troops had a better chance of getting to their targets safely. In the civilian sector, these modified Liches would often be used for search and rescue or policing work.

Just like the flaws in other Halo vehicles almost if the things wrong with this ship can be chalked up to the fact that these things are meant to be cool and there’s balancing reasons they don’t have all the strongest weapons on them. The Halo 3 Scarab is a prime example of this. It makes for an excellent set piece, but you can spend a long time picking apart it’s design since a lot of things don’t make much sense (like the backside being wide open). It’s really interesting how those two principles impact how Halo’s weapons and vehicles are designed. Great video👍. I’m not a big fan of a lot of the changes 343 did. But, I will admit I do really like how they’ve kept the expanded universe going allowing the setting to grow far more than it could of if we were just limited to the games. Bungie on the other hand was openly hostile towards the expanded universe. They mandated that all original characters in The Flood book die because they didn’t want any of them to persist in their universe. Bungie originally HATED the idea of ODSTs, but after they added Eric By Lund’s idea into Halo 2 and saw how popular those troops were they were perfectly fine with monetizing ODSTs and taking credit for something they didn’t even make. They also REPEATEDLY tried to get Halo Wars shut down and were antagonistic towards Ensemble (I could understand that if we were talking about that MMO that thankfully got cancelled, but Ensemble originally didn’t want to make Halo Wars and tried as hard as they could to make the game faithful to Halo).

I hope they include a huge armed to the teeth Lich in the next Halo game if they really are not keen on implementing Scarabs again. At least with the Lich you don't have to worry about walker physics and it can just, hover around deleting stuff with the Scarab cannon. Also forcing the player to find a way to take it by surprise and board it or do something to make it land or lower its altitude for a bit for boarding action, been thinking that perhaps it could use a Scarab missile battery on the top to act similarly to the scarab's AA turret, if it is too much then remove missile tracking so it acts more like the AA turret of Scarabs. It definitely could work as a Scarab replacement for the foreseable future if they really don't want to make a Scarab because, as always, physics.

After having played Halo Infinite’s Campaign I can honestly say that the Banished are serious warriors and fighting them brings me back to the halo 2 days when the brutes muscled their way up the ranks and into the story and it changed how you fought on the higher levels cuz everyone can play on easy and canonically speaking, Playing on Normal is like a playing Lore Accurate Master Chief. But yeah the Banished on heroic are actually tough to fight not impossible but they use combat tactics that are more effective than the covenant, their armor and arms are better and they don’t take no shit. Grunts and jackals are always pretty simple to deal with it’s when you got elites and brutes WITH the Jackals and Grunts the way they fight in Infinite. that is when it starts to get difficult cuz it’s like fighting a well organized special ops group and you are still one freaking guy super soldier or not and they only get harder as you play. I’m not gonna lie and say I hate Halo Infinite I just can’t get with the multiplayer like I did with bungie halo. That being said I’m excited for when they finally bring back fire fight type game modes cuz that was where I always shined the brightest and had the most positive experiences cuz those game modes I was all about protecting my fellow Spartans and ODST cuz as badass as I might be I know that fire fight gets harder than the legendary campaign and you need your team. I’m one of those Spartans that will say to hell with that I’m not letting you kill my guys I’ll die first I’ve always had that attitude when it comes to working with a team in a combat type situation. 11:17

I feel as if they ran out of time with the Lich in 4, there's an old tag build for 4 which shows an opentop 2 floor covenant aircraft around the same size as the lich but very unfinished, I feel if they had more time to think about the lich, it would've been able to have a proper boss battle around it. Like having the ability to damage its engines in order to make it land, destroying the head projector in order to get it to flee, or literally blasting the thin armor at the bridge in order to kill the command crew. Fighting it in the air (Halo 4 was meant to have VTOL wasps, hawks, phaetons, etc.) It also has too few armaments for it's size like you said, imo the shade turrets should be guarding the lich flanks rather than the plasma cannons, and atleast the shade turret has a energy shield variant allowing the gunner to stay alive in zero G if he has no EVA harness. although that would analogous to WWII era ball turret gunners.

I kinda like the idea that the lich isn't very functional, Its a fairly common mistake in military vehicle design since we started building them to end up mounting such a big gun to a combat platform that the size of the armament ends up getting in the way. Like the Lich is a heavy drop-ship with a star-ship grade primary weapon and shielding rated for slip-space, Two things it really doesn't need for the job it does. Thats a mistake army's make all the damn time so the covenant shouldn't be any different (would also explain why it primarily used as a planetary patrol/policing ship, perhaps the covenant knew they had a bit of a pink elephant on their hands so relegated it to a job where its heavy armour, really scary primary weapon and effective enough troop compliment could get the job done without the thing ever having to get into real combat)
