I can't wait til the next "VS" thread!

Who will the UNSC get trounced by next?

UNSC v 4chan

You cannot fight against yourselves- there are none who have not been tainted by 4chan and its multifarious offspring. Like the spark of life itself, it rode the webways, offering something for everyone- everyone. It would take a thousand for 4chan to achieve sentience and godhood, devouring the souls of much of the human race. They would call it the Great Trolling, or the rise of Slaanesh. No records will ever exist of that time though- all searches end in the most distasteful and extreme imagery and a smiling face gleefully asking.... "Problem?"

Even if you only know that Kharne likes kittens, what a jerk Eldrad is or have an Angry Marine lying around somewhere, you have worshiped the beast, and carry its seeds within you.

Shields are a tough call in threads like this, since you don't know what they're designed to stop. For instance, in the star trek universe, there are lasers, phasers and disrupters and they are technically different. Lasers for instance, are laughably weak to the point of obsolescence. To the audience, they look the same. One universe's shield might not stop another universe's beam weapon at all.

So we can't really assume that anyone's shields would even be capable of stopping any particular weapon.

Or on the flip side, those shields might stop EVERYTHING the other universe can offer. Some scifi ONLY has projectiles for instance. That might be useless against another universe in which projectiles are obsolete.

Pre-covenant UNSC didn't have any energy weapons. Just a lot of missiles, nukes and beefed up railguns.
