Subject: Halo 2 Trailer

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


Well on the first Halo 2 Trailer where Master Cheif jumps out of the ship into space and he floats to the Covenant Ship. U can see Earth and there is like huge ass expolsions like Nukes and stuff blowing up but I really don't think Humans will do that many on Earth. I seen this so many times but I never really thought about it. Or is it something Bungie just put in the Trailer to make it look like Earth was getting really mess up and Master Cheif is need alot? If any of u guys know anything about this let us know I just think it is just to make it look Earth is falling apart and stuff. But u could never know.

I doubt thouse are human. Possibly Plasma torpedos'? Or some other kind of Covenant weapon. 12 Nukes+All at the same time=Nuclear Winter=Very cold outside lol. Human nukes at least.

it could be that the covenant are glassing certain main threats on the planet so their invasion would be easier for them

i agree with you and the other guy about nuclear winter, 12 nukes would spread A LOT of fallout around the world...humans on earth would be -blam!-

If it was Covenant bombs that big DAM!!! And if it was a Covenant bomb wouldn't it be like Purple or somthing coz the Covenant like Purple and blue and green stuff like that. It looks like a Human bomb but looks huge so i don't know.

I'll be on my own side.

they cant set off a lot of nukes in space or on the ground,because the EMP will burn out the Super MAC orbital's superconducting coils,or the Super MAC generators on the surface(deep underground)

Far-fetched, but what if that trailer turned out to be a dream like sequence? That lifts interior did seem a bit bright for a human ship!

I just want to know if that is like nukes or something someone should know. But keep up with the great information though.

Super MACs are not nukes solidsnake. they are the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the UNSC arsenal. theyre orbital gun stations that fire a 3000-ton projectile at 3/8 the speed of light and can reload within 5 seconds. Reach had 20 of them,so Earth will have a lot more im sure.

MAC stands for Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. to get an idea for how much 3000 tons is,multiply 3000 by 2000 and youll get the idea. thats a helluva shot

Yeah but they shoot Earth that doesn't make sence I understand in space to kill the Covenant Ships but why Earth!! I understand for backup and airstrike but that is to much and that will kill alot of Humans too.

?? So the Super Mac guns shoot Earth? I don't understand that they will be killing alot of Humans if they want to kill the Covenant. I understand if they are like defending the planet by shooting the Covenant Ships coming towards the planet. But if they shoot Earth that will be powerful and shake alot the planet. And is there a picture of the Super Mac guns?

i said the most powerful weapon in the UNSC arsenal. UNSC is the humans. therefore,the Super MACs will not be shooting the Earth or any UNSC vessels.they will be owning the Covie ships. one shot completely destroys a Covie ship. their shields are penetrated and the ship disintegrates. the Super MACs are like huge orbital turret guns;theyre automated. and there are no pictures of them,but a description in the books tells of the stations being ring shaped.

The first time I saw that trailer I thought the amount of explosions was a little excessive also. In just a few short seconds a very large percentage of the earth seems to get nuked.

And no, that isn't the Covenant's doing...why?...it's not blue or purple!

Why humans would blow up whole cities to kill a few Covenants is beyond me.

CAn anyone tell wat the land mass underneath is?

  • 07.09.2004 8:21 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

it seems to be Florida or Baja California,from the shape of it. and the explosion are covenant plasma torpedoes. the plasma they fire is crimson,not blue or purple or green. those werent nukes.

Africa, south africa. remember, that was the covie prime point of incursion.
