[Epic CG Animation] The Battle of Earth was the largest engagement fought between the Covenant and the UNSC. It took place on and above the planet Earth and across the Sol System from October 20, 2552 to November 17. The UNSC Home Fleet consisted of 3 fleets of 90 Halcyon and Valiant-class cruisers, 8 carriers, and 300 Frigates, 30 destroyers, and thousands of Longsword Interceptors. The Prophet of Regret arrived out of slipspace with the Fleet of Sacred Consecration - 2 Assault Carriers and 13 CCS-class battlecrusiers. Regret's fleet converged on the Home Fleet, and when in range received heavy fire from the Orbital Defense Platforms orbiting Earth. Fleet Admiral Harper intended to engage his fleet, but received orders from Lord Hood to defend the ODP's. The Covenant boarded at least three ODP's and internally demolished them with an antimatter charge. The 2 Assault Carriers eventually broke through, but one was destroyed by their own antimatter charge from the Master Chief. Regret's Assault Carrier came to a stop over New Mombasa, while the rest of his fleet engaged the Home Fleet over the Orbital Defense Grid... ====================================================== Finally finished this animation! This animation took the most effort by far, taking 4 hours to create 10 seconds of some of scenes. I started it a month ago, and I'm fairly happy with the way it turned out. There were still a few problems that might have been noticed. To point out one, to the attentive eye it's fairly obvious which scenes were created first (the absence of the ODP's around earth in the earlier scenes :P). I think It had more epic moments than bland though, especially near the end. Many thanks to my subscribers, you guys are the best. I always read your comments, and the idea for this animation actually came from a comment on one of previous animations (the Halo 3 cutscene remake I think). Most video games (except Mass Effect 3) have scenes where an epic space battle is taking place, but you never see it, or you only see a small skirmish in it. I wanted to show the full-scale engagement in all its glory (and its low framerate). For those of you following the appearance of the banana, it makes 2 appearances (floating legs also make an appearance, though not intentionally :P). Also, I tried to make the credits a bit more interesting this time, let me know if you like these types of credits or not. Thanks to my subscribers again, and If you haven't subscribed, please do! I don't have an animation planned in the next week or two but you can be sure to see one or two in June. If you have any ideas for an animation, shoot me a PM or tell me in the comments section below :) takayuki to hidenori rock! ====================================================== Animations posted on this channel using CryEngine™ strictly use free assets from the Crysis 'Singleplayer Demo', and not from Crysis 1, Crysis 2, or other such retail products.
