Favorite Clancy book: Red Storm Rising

Anyways, as for the MAC gun debate, I hear a lot of people saying that there could never be 300 guns, because the Covenant fleet would be minced in seconds. I put this question to you: ISNT THAT THE POINT? I mean, I don't think the people in charge of Earth's defenses would be saying, "nah, we can't put that many guns in orbit, we'd beat them too easily!"

Thanks, I just had my laugh of the day. (not sarcasm)

I'll consider that a payment for the CftU booklet. =P


Glad I could repay my massive debt to you. It's true though! People who make that argument are being silly.

BIA is all very well, but we really have to hope Mr C doesnt get into the Total War series or well never hear peep outta him for months - trust me, i spent a scarily large portion of my life trying to conquer the world - i never managed it though, coz PCs suck and go really slow and get loadsa pop-ups and bugs and so on - bring it out on mac! for verily they are the way forward

not to ruin anything, but this is becoming the Brothers in Arms thread. Is it really that good?


Probably but not as good as Halo or Halo 2.
Might be a refreshing change, though.

Haven't been on in a while so i just thought i would write something.

I was gonna rent BIA as i totally loved BoB and Saving Private Ryan, and now that i know Mr_Clark likes it, all the better. Chapter 11 rocked (duh!), haven't read any Clancy book to date (tried executive orders but couldn't get past the first chapter) but have played (and completed) everyone on the ol' box. Oh and a few questions. How did you get that Gamertag Mr_Clark?, will me see more of the other 1.1s? and finally will we see Dr Halsey?
Thanks

Hmm, Brothers in Arms is really good, I love it, the multiplayer is a little too addictive for its own good, but I do agree that we should drop the BIA talk for now, just cause we are getting quite off-topic.

My GamerTag I stole from a very popular Japanese Manga character from the series Ranm 1/2. I've penned quite a bit of fanfiction from that series on fanfiction.net, so if you wanna check out some of my earlier works head over there.

The other 1.1's are pretty much finished for this story. Though I think I can see them making a surprise entrance in some of the later chapters. As for Dr. Halsey, my lips are sealed. Since I neither want to give anything away, or promise anything I might discover later that I cannot do.

play the armoury on halo 2, and PAY ATTENTION to what johnson says in the tram, about the orbital defence GRID. you cant have a grid with just 3 stations!!! its just not logical!!! also, just because Reach was a millitary colony, doesn't mean its more important/ well protected than Earth... hope that helps.... keep the chapters coming :P

I don't know why but at sir_brilliant's thread they have the exact same discussion.
Maybe fanfics make you think about this stuff...

I think Sir Brilliants thread is where it all started. He even made a poll. Look and see if you can find it. Most people think there are 300 MAC guns I think.

i personally beleive that there are 300 MAC guns but they aren't all in one place. Although some are orbital cannons so they can fire anywhere, some are on earth (well connected to earth like cairo) and thus can not fire at targets if they are on the otherside of the globe. when the covenant attacked i would say that only about 75 could fire, seeing as the covenant would concentrate on bit rather than trying to take the entire planet at once. and i doubt all 300 could fire at once due to lack of power. well theres my opinion

I think the next chapter is going to be one of the best because there will be a lot of revelations.

I was just about to post almost the exact same idea, when I saw that you had done it. I had a really good point, but not having read the books in a while, I cannot remember if it is the truth or not. In fact the more I look it over, I have come to think that I was mistakin in this thought. However, I always thought that part of one of the Chiefs missions (Sigma Octanus, I believe) was to protect the generator of a planetary MAC gun. If I am correct in this, and please dont flame me if I am wrong, then you would have to assume that both types are present in the defense of earth, the most important planet for the humans. You can see other weapons platforms during the fight on Cairo Station. You can also se that there are not that many to be seen. This would lead to the thought that some of them must be on the ground. Also, I agree that they could not all be fored at the same time because of energy concerns. Unless, that is, the ones on earth were powered by geothermal energy while the ones in space are powered by sunlight. Anyway, that opens a bunch of new problems that take up time I could use for doing something else. I'm sorry I got a little carried away with that, but I wanted to let everyone know what I thought about it.
