Every body thinks that sinse New Mombosa is a level that africa is some key plot area. Its not cortana says "she took 2 in the nose and dropped into the earths atmosphere." That means they are not trying to take Africa that just is where they happened to crash. As far as we know the covies are invading from the poles just as they always do. As for why the covies have not glassed earth they never glass a planet as long as there is still an opposing fleet in the space around the planet. They invade to prevent any resistance from land based weaponry while their fleet destroys ours search the planet for anything of note then leave and once the human fleet is destroyed they glass it. If they glassed it while we still had ships we would win because when they glass they lose their shields because of the energy needed.

Yes, but what if they had to make a random jump. To get away from some other enemy, perhaps the forerunners? The "enemy" fired twice and then saw earth and got afraid. So they left to build up their forces. The covenant were weakened and dropped into our atmosphere. Now they don't have enough whatever to get into orbit and glass the @$#^%^ out of us. They might no even know about "our secrets"

Or I could just talk to myself. Hows it going captain? Why, quite well captain. Say, captain did you captain the ship, or was it just me the captain?

Soo, why don't we see any explosions on the side of the ship???? If we weakened it enough as to drop into our atmosphere, that MUST mean that we took out it's shields, so it would be very easy to destroy!!! And when those elite ( spec ops? ) helljumpers, came flying down, were they coming from the ship or somewhere else? ( realises that they probably came from dropships deployed from the launch bays )

Not necessarily true. They invaded Sigma Octanus because they were looking for somthing, the Forerunner crystal and only set in a few ships because they didn't couldn't wait for the whole fleet to arrive. The Spartans taught them differently.

They invaded Reach because they needed to get to the Fusion generators. Even then, once the Fusion Generators were no more and the fleet dealt with... they started Glassing immediately even while they still had Covenant on the planet.

(Sidenote: Actually, this event was totally hilarious from a scientific standpoint. Even though the planet was being glassed Polaski didn't have any trouble and clear skies while bringing down the Dropship. The entire planet would almost instantly be affected by the greenhouse effect a thousand times over and completely covered in violent unpredictable weather systems.)

Covenant tactics aren't quite as predictable as we'd like to think. From the Halo2 Announcement Trailer the Covenant ships seem to be already bombarding the planet with Plasma, seemingly at random while the fleet is still futilely trying to defend the planet.

Why the change in tactics?

Like those voices in your head telling you to kill all your friends before they kill you.


What? You guys don't hear that?

XD Oh Caboose....

Back on Topic, who knows, you know what I mean, she took two shots to the nose and blah blah blah, then Chief says Who was first contact, now, lets use our heads here for a change, what does that mean?

No, I don't know, someone tell me if that makes any more sense of the problem.

It took 2 in the nose not the sides as for shields if you read the books you would know 3 MAC rounds (or the cannon humans use) can bring down a covie ship . As for the spec ops elites (not hells jumpers those are humans) they came from another cruiser because we see no ship above where they came from a cruiser realeses ALOT of those pods in space and gravity pulls them in they open and you get instant elite.

okay, how do you know that when it says they took two in the nose and then dropped into the atmosphere that they are talking about a covenant ship? It could have been a humnan ship cos it does say "The covenant wiped most of em out before they hit the ground" this could mean the escape pods or whatever

Yes they probably meant a human ship trying to land ground support like the captain did?

They definitely mean humans when they say "covenant wiped most of 'em out before they hit the ground" because he says earlier "but don't expect a big welcome"
